 | I got over the fact that there weren't two mags and pulled the gun out of the box. The gun had a nice weight to it, not too heavy, but not too light. The gun did feel very solid, with the exception of the folding stock. The reason why the stock feels so bad is because it is hollow. Because of this design the stock will start to come apart (very small crack inbetween the two halves of the stock). To solve this I used a mallet and hammered it back together. It is not as bad as it sounds. On a higher note, the stock is very sturdy when the halves are together. Another solution might be to pour some thing that would fill the stock and make it stick together. |
| The RAS did help to the feeling because it is all metal. I can prove this because I had to pry a stripped scope ring off of the rail. That was when I scratched it, but nothing else happened to it. Under the black paint there is metal. The drawback to the RAS is that there it not a big battery capacity. The battery changes aren't easy enough to do in the heat of battle; the mini 8.4v 600mah is a rather snug fit inside the foregrip. It wont be able to fit a 9.6 volt. This also means that you cant upgrade it internally very much. I plan to put a battery on the side of the stock, instead of in the foregrip. |

| Marui also upgraded the cocking lever, but this doesn't mean that it is unbreakable. I figured that out the hard way. Marui also added a muzzle with a 14mm negative (-, counter-clockwise) thread to take the Marui Knights Pro Silencer. To spice it up Marui put a quick attach flash hider on the end of the new muzzle. |
| The Marui Pro sight II is a reflex reddot scope. This came mounted with a low mount. The sight is nice, not great, but nice. In the day I use the normal sights and at night I use the reddot scope. There are a few dissapointing things about the scope. One, it is made out of plastic, so it is not durable. Two, it is a little too easy to sight in, or in other words the knobs to sight it in are way too easy to turn and will "unsight" themselves in the heat of battle from time to time. Three, the objective has a red coating on it making everything that you can see through the scope have a light blue tint, very annoying at night. Four,the low mount is too low. You have to look through the upper half of the front sight. This isn't a big problem but it does get in your way ,slightly. However, in a game, you will not notice it. The good things about this scope are that it comes with the gun, it has three power settings, and works very nice. The good outweighs the bad. |
 | Marui didn't change anything in the gearbox so here's how it performed. It is very accurate. From twenty yards it had 2 inch groupings on full and one inch groupings on semi. The rof is very good with the gun's eg700 motor, around 800-900 rounds per minute. The internals hold up to marui's good reputation, hasn't failed me yet. Even with the small battery it lasted a good 4-5 hours of constant fire. |
