- Overkill...But Smart, Cheap, and Accurate Overkill., May 24, 2009
Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

Claymores work well when there's a lot of corners, and guys with AEGs never learn to turn those corners while watching their feet. Overall a good idea, and a nice size.

Seriously though, even if a guy trips it 5 times, he's gonna do it again because he can't see the thing... But the better part is that if the other team is constantly watching their feet, you walk over and gun them down and they don't even know what hit them. Having this makes everyone want to be on your team.

The mine itself is good for the price, you'd pay a lot more somewhere else. 200rds, 60 degree and 60ft EFFECTIVE range (I've seen them get 100 with .12s many times), and the materials are what you'd expect from something at this price.

My friend got one and we've been rocking everything. 3 on 8 if you can believe it... We were the 3, and we won with no outs on us... Just DON'T get this if you don't know how to set this thing up right, let alone put it in the right place on the field. Half of the reviews that you'll read online call this thing junk, just because they don't know how the remote works...

So...

It's stealthy
Easy outs
Nice range and accuracy (It's actually 80ft 90% of the time with .12s)
Good materials
GREAT price

But...

You'll need to learn how to use it effectively
200 bbs a shot (But what else is your bag of 50,000 .12s for?)

Veterans rejoice, fishing line is now what is feared.

- The Swiss know their stuff., September 28, 2009
Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

Me and a friend bought this gun due to the surprising specs and build for this price range. The brand was new, so we decided to give it a shot. (ignore the pun)

It arrives, and we get to work specing it out... Looks good, not full-trademark perfection or anything, but we liked it. .25 shot out of the box (added scope) @ 150ft... Groupings all 1 and a quarter inches. Surprising! And after the hop-up was fine-tuned we tried again... Within an inch, easily. 200ft got really nice results with about 3 inch groups...It was well worth the money for the specs (keep in mind these stats were achieved with a bipod, scope, and tenacious aim.)

This gun has great range, works well in the field, and earns its keep right away. We tried a battle with it, 5v5, I took it on and had a ball. Used .28s and at about 180ft got 3 kills with the help of an awesome spotter.

This thing has

Amazing Range
Great Accuracy
Nice Mag-cap
Distinct Look
Niiice Price

Only con is that there are better guns, but they're 150 dollars more...

Great gun, a nice addition to any collection.

- You'll end up loving it., March 02, 2009
Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

OK... So it's 10 bucks, gets about 95 ft without curving with .2s, full metal externals, and fits in your pocket... You want it.

Now almost everyone's saying that a 7 rd mag cap is way too small... But anyone with a decent secondary and this gun would say otherwise. 7 rounds is more than enough if you're in a tight spot with your primary and secondary dry. If it gives you enough time to reload your primary/secondary, it's done its job in my opinion.

When I first shot it, I was surprised... There's some power in this thing! I thought for sure the fps would be less than 170 (.2s), but after lube, it was even more 0_0... Good accuracy, the grouping gets edgy around 70 ft, but still hits a torso sized target at 95 ft.

Now I don't know if i'm the only one that had this problem, but my Galaxy kept double feeding bbs until I had 3 shots left... I cock once, fine, cock again, bb falls out, but still fires fine... That happens until I have three shots left, then it's fine again. I only get about 5 shots.

I'll be honest, the mag is cheap, and plasticy... But I found something that helped a lot. I took the mag apart and took out the plastic thing on top of the spring. Now all 7 shots fire without double feeding... However for the last shot I needed to tilt the gun down to feed the last bb.

After all is said and done, this thing is awesome.

Good accuracy for its size
Surprising power
Mucho metal
Crazy small
PRICE =)
But...

The mag is cheap (but the capacity is fine)

Like I said, you WANT IT!!!

- You need the fps to use 'em., March 04, 2009
Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

Any gun that has about 380 fps or more would have crazy accuracy with these bbs. Of course the fps would be lowered by about 10-15, but that doesn't mean they'll hurt less, 'cause they'll hurt way more.

These .36 weight bbs are a sniper's best friend. You can actually feel where the bb is going. And, as you can probably guess, they never jam (unless your gun is a failure.)

25 bucks for 2000 bbs isn't the cheapest price out there, but these are some serious quality bbs. If you demand accuracy from your gun, these bbs will bring it.

- Green ammo does more than you think..., March 07, 2010
Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

First off, the BBs are great...high polished and smooth flying, no jams or problems whatsoever.

But the coolest part about these BBs is that people respond differently to your playing in a park or something when you show them the bag. Our group has had a bunch of problems with hippies hating us for using KSCs that aren't really biodegradable...so the fact that these BBs are approved by the Department of Natural Resources makes everyone happier.

To sum up:

Great BBs
Nice Polish
Truly Biodegradable
Captain Planet Approved

They're a few more bucks than KSCs, but it's totally worth it if you ever play in places that aren't in total isolation.

- It's like I bought a new gun...for 30 bucks., June 09, 2010
Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

...And not just a little 30 dollar springer, but like a 250 dollar gas sniper.

I'm a big fan of upgrading, especially when you don't have to search the entire earth to find 5 different parts. There's nothing like taking a worn-down springer with a battered spring that only gets about 180ft and throwing in a nice upgraded spring...and watching the BB go from 180ft to 250ft.

This is a nice package, and price is veeeery right. The only con about it is that it's an upgrade...and some people are a bit hesitant when it comes to upgrading...but the package comes with instructions, so you don't have to do any guessing.

So...In Summary...

Better FPS
Better Range
Better Accuracy
Better Everything
Better Get This Upgrade

- Victory, in your pants., March 02, 2009
Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

If you're looking for a pocket/boot gun, here it is. 15 rd mag cap...Which is insanity, 130 fps with .2s (lubed), all wrapped up in a 4.75 inch package... You want it.

This gun is the ultimate in humiliation... Nobody wants to say they got out by a 5-inch all plastic pocket pistol...

When I first held this gun, I was pessimistic... It was extremely light, and felt like a $4 pistol... And then I shot it.

Out of the box, it felt like 130 fps, and after lube it really was. The accuracy was good up to about 55 ft, at 85 it can hit a torso sized target. It surprised me, and for the price I was expecting something a lot worse.

So you got,

Nice accuracy
Surprisingly good power
CRAZZZZY Mag cap
Good price
And of course its size

But,

When you first hold it, it feels cheap (which really isn't that much of a con)
All plastic (but hey, the spring doesn't need titanium casing)
Your friends will be jealous and will throw it against the wall

It is, literally, victory in your pants.

Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

You can't say anything bad about this gun, and to those of you who say you can get 10 more fps for 40 more bucks... No.

My first ever spring gun, and it's still going strong. Great accuracy, perfect power, crazy mag cap, and an over-all great feel.

This gun sets the bar up there for all the other springers out there, and seriously, it's waaaaay up there.

UHC killed the competition with this gun... Literally =].

If you're looking for a $20 gun that will bring you into the game, stand proud as your secondary, or if you're just looking for a gun to have, have this.

I salute the standard.

See my review on the black one.

Sorry about the multiple reviews...

Fantastic gun, the best, the standard, the gun you need to have.

Story time!

OK so it's 3 on 4, all springers(and of course I'm on the 3 team.) I had my trusty shotty, friend 2 had a cyber-deagle thing, and friend 3 had an MP5 (spring.) Friend 2 asked for my shotty for one round, and since I had my trusty 1911, so I let 'em use it. We start the game. As fate would dictate, friend 2 dies right off the bat. They won't let him gimme my shotty =\. I run back to a better covered area. I'm sitting behind a half-wall waiting for MP5 guy to give me some back up... And there's two guys coming up the left. I duck behind a tree and wait... Wow, they pass me... I sneak behind 'em, and BANG BANG dead... Now there's a guy with some $50 cyber-sniper scoping me out from behind another tree... Back to my wall.

FINALLY there's friend 3 with my shotty, he gives it up and we're sitting there waiting to blitz the sniper... Oh look it's a spotter, and sadly enough, his back is to us. Friend 3 stealths up behind him and (inspired by Call of Duty 4) shouts "Oi, Lucy!" BANG. It was the funniest thing ever... Oh wait... My shotty has no mag in it. So it's back to the 1911. Sniper guy is running away... We're following, and... He's gone, and sadly enough friend 3 starts staring up at the trees -.-. Sniper guy is prone behind a log, he aims at friend 3 and... Bang! From about 35 ft away, I give him a head shot! We win =).

So the day belongs to the awesomeness of the 1911. You need to buy it so you can live my experience.

- Greatness., March 03, 2009
Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

In its price range, it's amazing. 320 fps with .2s (lubed), great accuracy up to about 125 ft, a high cap mag that holds 180, and an M4 stock makes this gun unique and awesome.

All 3 UTG shottys are awesome, this one is my fave however, the M4 stock is removable, so you kinda have the stock and pistol grip in one.

A red dot sight really helps, if it's dialed in right, and the dot's on it, it'll hit it. The rail above the pistol mount is great, it's right where I wanted my dot sight to be.

The accuracy, as I said before, gets a 6-7 inch grouping at 125 ft if you have the sight dialed in. At 140 ft it hits a torso well. The power is great, about 325 fps after lube, bbs get to the target fast.


The mag cap is great on the high cap; the standard is more of a spare that works perfectly in the field. And yes, the last few bbs need to be cocked upside-down, but if you wind at the right times, it's not a problem at all.

This is an awesome gun, I recommend it to someone looking for a cheap support weapon.

Great accuracy
Power that can stand up to 350 fps AEGs
Great mag cap
Perfect feel (did I mention that the weight is perfect?)
All the stuff that comes with it (with exception to the sling maybe)
The price

But...

No sights (but with a reflex sight... Not a con)
Plastic-ness (but look at the price...)


With all things considered, this is an amazing deal. So buy it.

Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

See my review on the SOS M4 stock.

This version of the gun works well as a back-up. Sling it up, and wait for your main to go dry, so you can sling this around and fire away.

But I don't need to tell you that, that's why you'll buy it.

Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

See my review on the SOS M4 stock.

The grip on this one makes it feel more like a shotgun as compared to the pistol grip and the M4 stock.

This gun is a classic, thousands bought it, and it didn't let them down, And it won't let you down either... Just flip the gun over and cock it before you call the gun a piece of !@#$, and try and un-jam it.

- Accuracy, Range, Your New Friend., March 03, 2009
Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

Yes... Something I've come to love. 390 fps with .25s (after a little lube), 25 rd mag cap, about 190 ft of perfect accuracy, and I'm sitting on a ledge getting 8 people out within a minute.

You need a scope -.-, and after you have that, you have perfection. The power is about 390 fps after a tiny bit of lube and a few shots to loosen it up. The accuracy is... Umm... I can hit someone's knuckle from 100 ft away (.25).

The mag cap is great, it may even be too much, but I guess in a 10 vs 10 game you get about 2 shots per guy, so I guess it works =).

My friend got this gun after I pounded it into his head during Christmas. He actually wanted to get something with "Higher Specs cuz it meanz itz bettur!"... But he got this one... Yaaaay.

Point being, in matches he'll let me use it, and I'll dial in the scope and everyone dies, and then I borrow it for a month during chipmunk season, then I give it back.

Getting this gun will put you in the "hate" category among those who wish to destroy you, but that only means that the gun is awesome and they're about to be shot in the gap between their goggles.

In summary,

Perfect accuracy in range
Great range
Great mag cap
Fantastic feel
Perfect power
It's your friend
Metal Bi-pod
With all things considered, price

But...

...Umm... If you don't like green you can get another color =\

Oh ya, did I mention that it has metal in all the right places? Well it has metal in all the right places.

The best .2s ever.

This is any serious player's standard BB. It's high polished, and the seam is near invisible and in no way affects the way the BB moves.

And Shorty said it best, don't settle for cheap ammo, get ammo that'll bring out the best in your gun.

High polished and a good weight for your high-powered AEG or sniper. Don't put these in your cheapo springers however, the weight is too much for anything under 300 fps.

We all started off shoving bbs down this mag's throat with our hands, then loading it musket-style, then speed-loading it. I can't remember a time when it was really annoying... I just love this mag, it feels right, it has a high capacity, it's the mag to your favorite spring pistol.

- Too much..., March 03, 2009
Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

500 fps with a .2 is just plain ridiculous... And I've seen it in action. A friend of a friend brought it during a skirmish, and it was scary... But in the end he just kept missing us.

First off, at least use .3s... That'll bring the fps down to a real level. It'll still hurt like the dickens, but not like the skin shattering dickens.

One thing I can't get over is accuracy. The groupings I got were pretty sad. At 120 ft, a 1' target and the shots were everywhere -.-. The range and fps of this gun just don't match up too... After a few rounds however, you get used to it. I'd also recommend a red dot sight for this gun, cause the sights on the gun aren't the best. The construction of the gun is fine, mostly plastic with metal here and there, I personally think that it's too light though...

It's an overall weird gun with too many fps, not enough accuracy, and weird pistol-with-stock looks.

Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

Back in the day before these fancy thingies, we had to use our hands for most spring guns... And if you had a nice AEG, you had to load 'em with these musket loader things... And we were thankful.

Now we're out of the Dark Ages and we use these loaders. 120 rds ready to go into anything. Spring pistol mags are loaded within 5 seconds with this, and mid-cap mags are done in 10. Put a fully loaded one of these in your pocket, and it's almost like having another mag, for ALL your guns.

Everybody needs at least 1.

- Great gun...If you know what to do with it., September 14, 2009
Reviewer: FingerBag from Fullerton, CA

I liked this gun out of the box, but more importantly, all the great upgrades that I could throw into it.

A friend of mine decided to get this gun along with a good spring and asked for help getting it in there. Usually it's a terrible idea if you don't know what you're doing, but thankfully we're anal when it comes to measurements and the like(not AS easy as it sounds if you've ever tried installing a non pre-cut spring)...

Taking a shot out of the box was nice, similar to the M324 as far as how the BB moved...Perhaps a little slower. Then we put the spring in, and... Now it's like the MK96. My friend can't wait for the new mods to arrive.

Needless to say, as opposed to a lot of other guns out there, this thing is crazy upgradeable. I'd recommend this gun for veterans only, so for those of you who are looking for a gun that requires no hassle and shoots great right out of the box (with just a few outside mods ex: scope, etc...) go with a different gun.

Specs on the gun we got (after spring):
Power: (utg) MK96 in comparison(about 470-480 /w .2)
Accuracy: at about 50ft:nickel 80ft:quarter,about an inch 120ft: 1 and a half to 2 inches (.28s look nice with this)
Range:You can get up to 200 with a .2, but the groupings were a little more than torso sized, effective is about 180ft.

The feel is good, and size is great. This gun is very similar to the MK96 after some key mods. If I had to ring up some cons, I could only really say that if I bought a bi-pod and an extra mag the spring... It costs about the same as the MK96 with no real difference. The one con I have no problems with is the weight... It's light, but if you're actually firing the gun it's gonna be resting on something... But if you're going for realism, you can always mod it =)

Great gun for upgrades and veterans that can deliver, get it if you know what you're doing.
