i opened the box today after waiting anxiously for a week for it to come in, but the wait was worth it! the box had the light, two cr123 batteries (not surefire ones or anything but will do), a pressure switch, and the ring. all parts of the light are anodized aluminum as is the mounting ring.

Performance
as far as tactical lights go, this on is insanely bright, brighter than my d cell maglite led! and a whole lot smaller!
this is SO much cheaper than surefire and they don't come with a mounting ring or a pressure switch!
granted it's not as good as a surefire, but on a budget it can't be beat.

pros:
all anodized aluminum!
Very, very bright!
easy to use
a lot of accessories included
awesome looking strike bezel
UTG

cons:
not the greatest batteries

if you're looking for a nice, cheap, bright light for either handheld or firearm use, this is your light!
P.S. this IS a firearms grade weapons light, not just for airsoft guns

Claymores are used today to launch steel balls into whoever is unlucky enough to get close enough. They are explosives. An airsoft company actually created an airsoft explosive, which isn't just a shotgun (like some grenade launchers claim to be). These explosives add a whole entire new idea into the game. Explosives. Now, you can plant these behind your base to keep enemies out. Your enemies will now watch their step. With strategy, such as luring, these mines could be used very aggressively. Image a helpless sniper running through the brush as you chase him. Just as your about to get him, he picks up his remote, at this point your eyes start to go wide, he then presses a simple button, and 200 bbs fire at you. Basically, for those who are support units (springers), these are your best friends to slay those sneaky automatics.]]> November 06, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=774

To start off, this is a sling made for easy reach of your gun. This obviously offers that. What I don't like about it though is the fact that -
1) It's confusing to sling some guns (mine)
2) It hurts my neck after a while

Although I wouldn't deduct for it being confusing, the neck pain is intolerable. After a while I just have to take it off, matter of fact, I barely use it.

If you have a gun such as the one demonstrated from the video (preferably light), this is the sling for you. If you're the MVP of your team (the one with the guts leading the charges) with a two to three foot long assault rifle that's full metal, not so much.

Remember: This sling can have none of the cons I listed depending on the gun. But for my arsenal, it just doesn't seem to work.

My metal assault rifles that I own are listed below that I couldn't sling with this,

I have had this red/green dot sight for over a year, and it is one of the best investments I have ever made! It's got full metal construction, a red and green dot sight with 5 brightness settings for each color. The paint is also hard to scratch off; I have had for a year, and no paint has come off of it, and it also is just as bright as when I first received it.

Pros:
red and green dot
5 brightness settings for each color
full metal
quality
price
durability
lens covers
cleaning cloth
battery included

Cons:
eats up batteries pretty quickly, but that's to expect from most red dot sights

I realize that this is kind of late but any way...

First off, I've had it for almost a year now. It's a great remake of the real p90 (my favorite gun) which I've known about since GRAW so I was glad when i saw this.

Pros:
Realistic looks (even the mag looks "realistic")
Pretty good accuracy (i can easily hit a target within 120-150ft no worries)
Decent mag cap for the 68 depending on semi or full but you can just get 300 or 1500 box mag
Great with the Spec ops reflex sight
Has not jammed on me yet (downward feed)
Pretty good battery life
(the safety actually works unlike one of my pistols i broke not realizing i had it on safety)

Cons:
Not the greatest fps (still can hurt a bit close range)
Absolutely despise the look of the orange flash hider that comes with it(ruins the look) but you can get a new one cheap($7 bucks cheaper if you're unregistered and reading this and plan on buying a new flash hider for it)

All in all this is a great that i would recommend to anybody(so would my friend who just got it a couple months ago.) Also, I honestly never had a problem with the way the grip is - i think it depends on the user.

i love this gun, either the 1928 or the m1a1! they are both really cool all around.

it is surprisingly accurate, has an overall nice feel to it, extremely high metal content (it's quite heavy for an air soft), works well at any range, even 200 plus feet with the proper bb's, and it just looks absolutely sweet.

the rate of fire, in my opinion, is plenty for mid to long range in full auto mode. it is a bit slow if you're in a strictly close quarters area though. this is because of the heavy spring inside the gun, resulting in a very satisfying fps.

also, this works equally well in a mid range assault role as it does in a sniper role.

its accuracy is comparable to my MK 96 shadow ops, with the appropriate bb's mind you, but without a scope and with FULL AUTO!!!

overall, just an excellent gun! if you want a good mid to long range primary, but are tired of the countless AK's, M4's and MP5's out there, this is for you!!]]> November 05, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1842

If you own a m1a1 version, GET THIS!!! it will turn your gun into an entirely different beast!!! Sure the m1a1 hi-cap stick magazine works fine (if you don't mind turning a little clicker wheel for about 30 seconds) and, for the most part, won't jam on you.

This mag is a bit more prone to jamming with the lower quality bb's. however, you can wind the drum mag A LOT quicker, it's way quieter to wind, it holds more bb's in both the main chamber (obviously) and the spring loaded chamber, and you can pour in more bb's without even removing the magazine from the gun!!!

The only bad thing is it's a little bulky. but with 450 rounds, on an accurate machine like the thompson, you can OWN pretty much any battle at any range in any style you choose.

Based on the three spring handguns i own,
with a .2 bb.
this one is falls into maybe second place.

Galaxy G.1, has great power, good range, godly accuracy but a small mag not to mention it's full metal and is durable as hell(dropped more then once on concrete).

UHC SIG 228, okay power, decent range, but has an uncomfortable feel and crap accuracy, plus it's kinda tacky(a lot of seams and excess plastic).

And this Gun, the SIG SAUER 226, lack of power, great accuracy, good mag, and amazing grip and feel, plus a rail :)

so my verdict is that this gun, based on the other three,
is a good sidearm. i wouldn't engage anyone with it because you will find yourself falling short unless they are seriously about 20-25 feet away.

however,
i have found that the meager .12 bb doubles the range to almost 60ft.
but you will lose a lot of the accuracy. ]]> November 04, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1825

fixes two of the P90's biggest problems: mag capacity and battery size.
>other P90 hi-caps are 300 rounds, which may or may not be enough depending on playing style. This box mag - unlike box mags for other guns - maintains the P90's sleekness, and possibly even makes it look even cooler. 1500 rounds is also even more than some other box mags for other guns.

Many of the previous reviews are in-depth enough, and by people who actually have them, that I don't need to go into the pros and cons. However, I do need to say that I think this gun looks awesome, is really cheap for the quality, and is accurate for field and compact for CQB.

With the new P90 box mag, two of the major drawbacks for the gun are eliminated-- small magazines (box has 1500 size of m4/16 mag you use for it), and battery size (box mag frees space to put a large type battery in the slot where part of the normal mags go)

With the new box mag in mind, the E1 P90 becomes one of the best (if not THE best) gun you could get for under $250 as an all-around gun (except sniper, though it is very accurate for the size)]]> November 04, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=871

If you are just starting out, or you and your friends play together, but you don't want to spend money on an expensive gun, then this is for you! It is extremely powerful, and is very accurate when coupled with a red dot sight attachment. I was surprised at how well this gun performed considering its price. The gun's hop up is also highly adjustable and very responsive. So responsive in fact that if set to maximum, your bb will travel around 100 feet, then curve upwards at around a 80 degree angle. Now this said, you can adjust this very precisely to your liking, although I think the gun is powerful enough to the point where I hardly even have to turn on hop up. The shotgun aspect of the gun doesn’t really mean much though because this gun only shoots one BB at a time. I actually chose it for that reason. If you have a 3 shot air soft shotgun then you are shooting 3 bb's every time you shoot it. Think about that, it adds up to a lot of wasted bb's! And tri-shot shotguns usually cost up to 250% more. Also the single shot feature is good for precision aiming. If there were two spring air soft guns, where both had exactly the same features, and where the only difference was that one looked like an ak-47 and the other was a shotgun, then I would choose the shotgun. This is because when you have a spring air soft gun, over time you will get tired of after every shot you take, pulling that little lever back with your fingers. A shotgun format gun has the whole hand-grip lever, so when you pull back to cock it, instead of using weak forearm and finger muscles which fatigue easily to pull back a small lever, you are using your entire hand along with your entire arm to pull back a large pump. This allows the shooter to fire more shots consistently without fatiguing.

Suggestions

*Don’t buy those fancy KSC Perfect .2g 4000ct High Polish BBs, they are nice to have, but really unnecessary for this gun. Instead save a couple of bucks and get 1,000 more bb’s with the 5000ct Bag .2g High Grade Precision Ground Premium BBs for Spring Guns. They work about the same and are much cheaper.

*DO NOT use .12g bb’s. The best for this gun are definitely .2g and I would go so far to say .25g bb’s if you live in a very windy place. But your standard weight should be .2g.

*BUY THE 10-DOLLAR DOT SIGHT (Spec Ops Reflex Sight) WELL WORTH IT!!! INCREASED MY ACCURACY BY A LOT!!

*Buy the 180 round high capacity magazines!!!

*Silicone lube will help your gun live a long life and it will increase your gun's fps by about 30. Nice to have but not 100% necessary, I would say about 70% necessary.

To Lube: Insert straw into the can’s nozzle, place straw as far down the gun's barrel as possible and squeeze hard for about a half of a second. Then flip the gun so the belly is exposed. Remove the magazine. Then move the shotgun's pump as far back as possible and squirt a half second of lube into the bb receiver. Without firing, move the pump lever back and fourth several times (Anywhere over 5 times is good) and pointing away from your face and anything you don’t want to get damaged or oily, dry fire one shot. Then reinsert your magazine (with bb’s) and pump off around 10 to 15 shots).

NOTE: Initially after you lube your gun, its hop up may perform inconsistently and/or it may not fire as powerfully. This issue will reside after around 30 or so shots.



NOTE: The gun comes with a small magazine (20 rounds) and a high capacity magazine (180 rounds) this does not mean that an additional high cap magazine is not needed. Trust me, if you’re in an intense fight, or one of your high capacity magazines break, you will be glad you had a spare.

Have Fun!

This is a really nice pistol! It's made mostly out of metal, giving it a very realistic weight and shoots very well. Its range is about what shorty says, ~100ft. It is really conservative on gas and doesn't use much co2. The mag size is average. I go through a mag pretty quickly but i'm not very conservative with my shots. I would definitely buy an extra mag though. One thing I really like about the gun is the sights. On the front sight there is a dot and on the back there is a dot on each side so you just line up all three dots which I find to be more convenient. Overall, this a great gun at a very good price and I would definitely recommend that anyone should buy it.]]> November 04, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2061

I have only had this gun for a short while now but i definitely like it. I bought it mostly to test out the blow back feature on an AEG. While i like it and i think it just makes this gun seem more real than it already is, i feel like i sacrificed my ROF for the blow back. And thinking back that is not a worthy trade. I have used this gun in a few wars and it can keep up with any gun when it comes to velocity, but i think the ROF will be something you notice every time you use the gun. When using .28 this gun is super accurate and it is now my bb of choice for this particular rifle. Overall i do like it, i would only change the ROF. The gun looks pretty BA if you add a mock suppressor to it too. So if you are looking for a great looking rifle to add to your collection that can really leave some welts, go for this. But if you are looking for a solid all around gun to use in battles i am not so sure this is it, at least it isn't my weapon of choice. ]]> November 04, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1806

This thing is probably the best springer rifle I've gotten to date except my UTG M324. You can still use the iron sights with the rail system attached, which is awesome. It's so solid, the butt plate on the stock comes off just like the battery area on the AEG version. The weight in the stock looks a lot like a large type battery. I took mine out and keep the included speed loader in it (Extra ammo for my pistol). The mag capacity is incredible, just have to remember to keep it wound. When I got this, I had also purchased a Refurbished mag that is just like the ones that come with it. More ammo than I think I'll ever use in one battle, but handy since i was thinking of buying the AEG version later.

I have been a fan of AEGs for a very long time, and have bought a lot of them as well. But this is the best AEG I've ever bought! It shoots amazingly, looks great, is very accurate, and is pretty intimidating to your enemies. I guarantee you if you have this weapon and you're in an airsoft war, the other team will be afraid of you, and your team will be glad you're on their side.

Also this gun hurts!! I mean obviously you're not going to shoot someone point blank, but when me and my friends have wars even from 150 feet away they say it hurts.



Pros:
The gun's design and labels are cool
FPS
Full Metal
RPM
Magazine Size

Upgraded parts
price
All out awesome gun

Doesn't come with a strap (but come on they're like $10).

Maybe I was expecting something amazing from this, but nevertheless, it fell short of what I thought it could do. Now I didn't buy this from here, I bought it from ... Now I'm not going to get all technical or give you some weird stats that you have no idea what they mean, because honestly I don't know a thing about how this thing works.

Now for my review/ This monocular works, and you can see in the night, but it doesn't go very far. I can see clearly for about 75 feet, or 35 yards, and then I just see green blurs, which you can't really tell what they are. You really are just better off using your eyes, because at the range you can see with this monocular, you can just engage someone. Sure you can use it to get someones exact position in the dark, but this isn't much of a spotting scope because you would have to use it like every 30 feet. I really wouldn't suggest anyone buying this. The only good thing about it, is who else can say they have a night vision monocular.

I bought this gun for my brother at the same time I bought the UTG MK23 for myself. Both guns perform well enough (for $20!)and there have not been any problems with either of them. But the main difference between this gun and every other cheap spring pistol my brother or I have had (USP, P99, MK 23, Desert Eagle) is that this gun feels WELL MADE. If you only have 20 or 30 dollars, this is the way to go. It is sturdy, heavy, looks nice, and functions smoothly... what more could you ask for $20?]]> November 02, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2021

As far as the overall performance of these mags, you can hardly do any better. If you want capacity, then buy a full size mag. I won't bother restating all the information in the description, but they feed flawlessly and are sturdily built to last. No, 85 rounds isn't the best out there, but I believe that the only reason you would be looking at this particular style would be for the historical look or you're looking for a lower profile design for your platform. The few inches you gain with these over a full-size design allows you to really prone out and get your rifle in line with the rest of your body. There's nothing more annoying than trying to make yourself a smaller target and then having to stick your head up to try and take a reasonable shot.....yes you can rotate your gun 90 degrees and shoot sideways...But That's Not The Point! All in all, if you're going for a lower profile, look for a longer range platform (i.e. KWA KM16-SR12 a.k.a. my baby) you can't beat the KA 85's.

I did some reading prior to buying an AEG and the guides on here all recommended this charger for any electric gun. Well they were right. It's so easy to use - just plug your battery in and go. No worrying about calculating charge times, or having to be around. Shuts off on its own and won't harm your battery.

Well, from my experience with this mag, i was happy from start to finish with it. By finish I mean my gun is dead(don't worry, it's not on the market anymore, it was the JP-21). But with this mag I would put fear into my friends' eyes as they ran in terror from the mag that never seems to empty! But get an extra one just in case it does empty, because it does eventually =(

These mags are great! I haven't had any problems with them and I've had the gun for a year now, getting a pretty decent kill count of of it. The 25 round capacity is excellent for the gun unless you're in the mood to shoot full auto which probably means you shouldn't have bought the gun. The feeding is great because you can load it in a couple seconds with a speed loader or longer by hand which i don't suggest in battle.

All in all, these are great mags and it's always good to have extra mags, or replacement mags in my case, whoops!]]> November 02, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=818

got the gun; it was awesome. i was constantly the winner. the gun shot perfect, fast, and shot well over 100 feet. bullets never curved either, i was so happy. but then after only a few months of ownership the gun would start to act up. bullets would constantly just fall out the end of the barrel, so if you wanted to get any shots outta the thing at all, you would have to pull the trigger as fast as possible. therefore you cannot shoot once, move, shoot again, move, because then every bb will just fall out of the barrel.

i stopped using the gun for a couple of months (due to the apparent issue) but i couldn't stand the thought of giving up on it. so after using it again for a night this tiny little piece of metal, less than a centimeter long, fell out of the mag. the piece of metal had three sides and each was very jagged, hence no straight edges. after this mysterious piece of metal fell out of the mag, the gun will not even shoot. must have been a pretty important little part. ]]> November 01, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1183

-pros-
fps = wow (hits so hard)
most powerful m14
great mag capacity
accuracy
battery life
full metal and lightweight

-cons-
rail is a little too far up on barrel for me; idk about what you think.
rof could be a bit better

overall this gun is a solid 4 0ut 0f 5 for me. i am sure you would love this gun. if you are a serious airsofter, i suggest a good red dot sight or scope and an extra battery or 2. this is the most powerful m14 i have seen and i hope you can get the chance to get it. hope this review helps you out.

This pistol is amazing, astounding, and did i mention amazing? It's got everything you want and more power, range, and looks. Price is a little way too expensive but aside from that everything is amazing. It is not as big as it looks; it's small but not too small. The only plastic parts are the orange tip, the grip, and the upper receiver.

Pros:
looks
size
power

pretty much all metal

This gun is amazing with a lot of power and range. Cheap for such a good gun. The ONLY not metal part on this gun is the grip which is wood colored plastic. Not very co2 efficient - only gets about 30 shots on one co2 tank, but the power makes up for it. It comes with two metal rails to mount on the gun so you can scope it.

Pros:
power
looks
range
price
accuracy
weight (feels real)
can put a scope on it

Cons:
co2 eater (30 shots on one co2 tank)
huge (sizes up with a desert eagle)

My friend actually has this gun and has let me use it quite a few times for me to write this review about it. Let's start off with the pros and cons.

Pros:
Fps is great(get the high polish .2bbs for max performance and lube)
Realism
Feel (a little heavy but won't make a big deal about it)
Clip (holds much more than you think but recommend buying the spares)
Bolt action (some may not like it but I definitely do)
Hop up pretty consistent

Cons:
Weight (can be an issue for some but not me)
Mag (can also be a problem for others wanting more capacity)

Other than those, the gun's a very great and durable gun. What more would you want out of a sniper that shoots 480fps and is accurate? If you have 160 plus 60 bucks for the good sight (not really needed),then this gun is the gun to buy!

My review is almost like RockonHK's:

The gun is a very great gun..it's very realistic feeling(almost like the real one). I don't use the green gas clip because the gas is too expensive and co2 is much cheaper and shoots farther. But now on to the defect:

RockonHK was right about the pistol having a burst fire and the hammer getting caught on the slide piece. Mine would also give a 3-4 round little burst fire but then the hammer would get stuck on the slide. I actually don't know what to do about it. If anyone really has any info how to fix this please feel free to let me know. And also the co2 clip does leak a few times but I'm not gonna whine over that though.

Pros:
FPS(pretty good)
Feel
Very strong metal parts (except for defects I listed)
Mag Capacity
Looks
Blow back (love the realism)

Cons: (not very many)
Co2 leaks (but will stop after a few uses)
And the accidental burst fires and hammer getting caught.

Other than that it's actually a very good looking and accurate shooting gun...you might get one that works better than mine did. So good luck and happy shooting.

Plz rate if helpful!

I was rather excited when I first got this spring rifle. I finally had a Spring rifle to use on the side when I didn't feel like using an AEG. I guess I'll start with the good things first.

For $60, the Construction is AWESOME. I really liked how it felt. It was hefty, and felt solid, not to mention a good amount of metal on it. The Faux wood actually looks very nice as well. The only slight problems were that the barrel twists slightly ( no biggie ), and the bolt is rather hard at first to cock it, but it weakens eventually ( again, not a problem really, just something to get used to )

now, for the bad..

Performance is dreadful. .2's are absolutely worthless, as they curve after 30-40ft easily. Sure, you could buy heavier bb's, but for me personally, buying heavier bb's for a rifle that only shoots 280fps with .2's seems a little... well, pointless. It'll drop the velocity drastically, and while heavier does hurt more, I doubt it would make much of an impact to give any fear factor to whoever you're playing against. Personally for me, below 300fps ( unless it's a close quarter gun like a shotgun ) isn't gonna make me think twice about charging with my JG G36c, especially with it being only a spring rifle.

So all in all, it's a beautiful spring rifle, it's just with mine ( I realize a lot of others complimented its performance ) I had a horrible time using mine for skirmishes. Now it just sits on my wall, looking all pretty and shiny. XD

I gave it a 3 with the awesome construction and look.]]> October 29, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2062

This gun is definitely a great secondary for the price. Throw the tac version in a holster and you are ready to go. Two mags easy to reload. It's basically a no brain-er if you need a plinker or a backup. No essay here, it's just your basic shotgun, and you know UTG always makes good shotguns.

Now I want to get something off my chest. I am 16 years old, and even though I am not yet at the proper age to purchase a real firearm, I still know how to load, operate and clean one. Now I am not saying that you need to know that to use an airsoft gun, but wouldn't knowing proper gun safety help in the actual using of an airsoft gun at an actual field? The main thing I am saying is all these 12 year olds that walk around acting like they are airsoft gods, calling a heat shield "a little metal thingy on the end of the gun" and probably looking down the barrel with the magazine or clip in, need to learn a thing or two before they start reviewing on items they are not even familiar with.

Three years ago, I decided to up my airsoft game and purchase my first AEG. Although not the generation three model, I can still comment on various parts of the gun and overall feel. The AK was very easy to get used to with a perfect balance and not as long as the M16-A4 series I was used to. What surprised me the most is that the Warhawk has one of the best hop-ups on any airsoft gun that I have used. However, the magazines that came with it did not cycle on full auto but that's an easy fix with a little lube. Although the fake wood is very real looking, the stock seems to be very weak and flexible. I'd strongly recommend this gun but have in mind that you must be willing to take it out every once in awhile to check if everything is running smoothly. I decided to take it out after six months of non-use and found many mechbox problems including a blown fuse. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. ]]> October 27, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=894

This is all around an amazing gun. Its high fire rate (same as the real gun)and its menacing look make it one of the most feared weapons on the field. This gun has lasted me for quite some time now, because of its full metal insides and sturdy build, and I know it still has many years left in it. This gun is not for the weak (AKA my sister who can't hold it steady because of the weight), but if you like a heavy, powerful gun, the Warhawk is the way to go. Have fun! :)

IMPORTANT: If you are shooting on semi auto and the trigger locks up, just switch to full auto, fire a couple shots, and switch back.]]> October 27, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2046

Today i received my SA1 from UPS and opened it immediately. I noticed that the "wood" finish really does look amazing. Also I noticed that the gun, once assembled, was extremely comfortable to hold, more so than my old UTG M324. After having put on my scope mount and the scope itself I went outside and shot around in my backyard. Using Echo 1 .28g bb's the power of this gun was made obvious to me. I shot into the woods and heard the bb bounce off of multiple trees in a loud cacophony. The gun itself makes little noise. I also tried using my madbull .36g Bb's, however, I couldn't see them because of their color... though I was able to hit everything I aimed at. Anyway time for a synopsis:

Looks: (5/5)
The wood grain really adds to the hunting feel of this gun. I love it. With the scope on it it looks amazing. I am very glad that it looks the way it was advertised to look.

Performance: (5/5)
Amazing. The bb's speared through the air with ease. The accuracy is incredible... the bb's go straight every time. No exaggeration. It can be harder to sight in your scope though if you aren't using white bb's. Anyway... the way this gun shoots is rather awesome.

Construction: (4/5)
The gun is quite light. This isn't a problem... as it feels nice to hold. However... for all of you people who want a bit more heft... go with something else. The stock seems rather tough. The firing assembly is all metal and won't break... The hop up lever on the side of the barrel is garbage. It is made of shitty plastic. I know that it will break if i don't treat it well. Additionally... the magazine release button is a pain. You really have to pull to get the mag out. These are just little things though which can be fixed and avoided with proper care.

This gun is a very good value. 100 dollars for something that performs impressively is not a large expense. Plus... the 28 round magazine capacity will keep you shooting for a while.

Overall this gun receives a 14 out of 15 for me. Thank you for reading this and I hope that you will rate it!

This piece works flawlessly on my Echo1 Stag Arms M4. I wanted it because the red dot sight I have couldn't see over the front sights. Now I have no problems, and the gun looks really awesome with this piece on it. Great quality, too.

Great buy. It's under $20 so just add it to your order!]]> October 27, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1837

has good reliability,
reloading magazines is awkward,
has a comfortable grip.

though the gun may feel solid i have noticed a few pieces that may break off the gun. they wouldn't inhibit the gun at all but that's still not really something to pay 20 bucks for.

go for the m9 heavyweight.
first gun,
never failed. ]]> October 26, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1862

Hey you guys who are mad because of always getting hit by this, always toss something around corners. And you can always use it as a mine by putting it in the dirt. I also beat my friends in a battle with this, it was 1 vs. 5, i was the one. Buy it

After looking at lots of guns I finally found this one but I started to look at the KWA SR10...I got this one for my birthday and I was very very impressed. I was glad I did not get the SR10.

This gun has a very realistic weight, the sound of the gun is loud which is a plus for me. Everything is Metal! The orange flash hider is metal. Everything but the handle (Very nice rubber hand, easy on the hands), The stock which is very high quality dense plastic, the high quality fore grip and possibly a couple more small things. If you are looking for a good gun, Get this one! You will not regret buying it!!!

This is my second pair of night vision and my third pair I have used...

Pros:
ATN is to night optics as apple is to mp3 players
Small(could easily mount on a rifle with a little imagination)
lightweight
water resistant
has IR illumination
comes with a head set
cheap(for night vision)
pretty clear
no maintenance
it's night vision which = awesome

Cons:
no way to turn off IR (would be nice to see through glass without a glare for example)
headset is awkward, cumbersome, confusing, uncomfortable, etc. (just don't use it)
range isn't anything special
not a standard battery, but still not hard to find
comes with a booklet with better one that you can not afford

hope this helped

i own 4 of these guns, but i did not purchase them at shorty which i regret. ... now to describe the gun.

The body in all metal,
the grip on the handle is plastic
and i'm 85% sure ALL the internals are plastic.

With these guns you need to use .2's or the hop up is crazy, but with .2's the gun is AMAZING! The cocking of the gun feels a little weird and i am always really careful when i cock it. It's also heavy as HELL! I would recommend the colt which is on shorty for 11.99

I just got the full stock version of this, and my friend just got this gun, and I must say, this is not worth the money. You spend the exact same price for the full stock and get way more fps. Granted the full stock has been out of stock sooooo long, you get more bang for your buck. I looked at this and thought, wow this would be great for cqb! wrong. It has the worst fps for the price. It really sucks when you get a gun that has low fps. Personally, I wouldn't buy it. I suggest the full stock version. It has much better fps, it is the exact same price, and it looks waaaaayyy cooler.

Thanks for reading. ]]> October 26, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1359

this gun is amazing. if you use .25 g you can get great results. i used them and hit my opponent at 250 feet at 450 fps . if you want a cheap and awesome gun buy it.
p.s. if you get a silencer and scope it looks awesome.]]> October 26, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1660

Now i have this gun and let me just tell you it is the best thing ever. Mine right out of the box was shooting about 380 fps. The plastic body is very sturdy and the metal receiver is a great thing. Since it is a bullpup design it has a rather long barrel. I was really surprised with the accuracy of this gun for being so tiny. From about 60 feet away i could blow away pop cans. The mags are very nice but have a low capacity so if you are trigger happy at heart this isn't the gun for you. The high cap mags aren't my fav just because my high cap broke in about 5 days. So if you're getting this gun i suggest you just buy another lowcap.

Pros:
Fps
range
build of the gun
rof
weight

Cons:
Mag capacity. that's about it

P.S If you are one of the people that love to upgrade your guns let me just say that this thing is very easy to take apart. You could have the whole thing apart in just 2 mins or less. Also i dropped my gun once and it survived with just a few scratches. Enjoy and play safe!

I use these bbs and only these bbs. here's why. i have used many other .2s and these are by far the best. no other .2s can stack up to them, and not to mention they jam waaay less than normal .2s. the only problem is you can actually dodge them if the shooter is far away because they are bright white. if you use .2s buy them now.]]> October 25, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=179

This lube is very good and has lasted me for a long time. I use this on all of my guns and my friend's guns and it hasn't failed me yet. It is a rather small can and seems kinda expensive for the amount you get but think of it this way - do you want so spend 5 bucks on a can of lube that is going to make your guns last longer or do you want to spend 200 dollars on a replacement gun because you didn't buy this?]]> October 25, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2043

This sniper rifle is good stock but can easily be upgraded for better performance, however if you don't feel like spending the money to upgrade it is good enough as it is. I got it for only 90$ when it was on sale in the arms room and bought the UTG 4X32 Mil-Dot Airsoft Rifle Scope with 1 Inch Tube, an extra magazine, a UTG Low Profile Weaver RAIL Bi-Pod and some TSD .28g bbs. I could easily hit targets from over 100 ft. away. I highly recommend this sniper rifle for anyone.

PROS:
-Quiet
-Light(could be pro or con)
-Small orange tip
-Accurate
-High mag capacity
-Decent stock fps
-Good range
-Easily upgradable
-Looks very nice
-People will want you on their team

CONS:
-Light(some people like heavier guns)
-Bolt can be hard to pull back at times so I just lubed it with some silicone oil and now I have no problems with it
-Long; I had to buy a new gun bag to fit it but it's a sniper rifle what do you expect
-Had to assemble it but I just found a video on how to put it together
-Instructions it came with were in Chinese!
-Magazines are plastic but are holding up well
-The speedloader it came with was slightly broken but was easy to fix
-People will hate you when you shoot them

So there you have it. The cons list may be big but it is a lot of small things and shouldn't stop you from buying this amazing rifle. I hope you find this review to be helpful.]]> October 25, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1371

Let me start by saying that you get what you pay for, and i got 10$ worth of garbage. I bought 2 and 1 broke the second use.

Pros.
110 rounds

Cons.
plastic
non durable
misfires CONSTANTLY
hard to feed
tight squeeze in most ak variants.

That's about it - save your money for a high cap or drum mag.]]> October 25, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2006

I just got this gun yesterday and it's very reliable on the field. Even though the clip runs out fast this is a great gun.

Pros:
FPS
Removable stock
blow back
RPM
Has enough metal
looks fairly real

Cons:
Not Very accurate
clips don't hold enough BB's
You'll need to buy more clips(somewhat expensive)


Overall this is a great gun, i would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun airsoft gun that shoots like a beast.]]> October 25, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1660

Maximas was right, this is great for intimidation. This saved my butt once in a game already, and i didn't even have to pull the trigger. The enemy saw me reach forward and took off running. I'm not sure of the fps on this, but NO ONE wants to get hit with it.

Great design, nice and solid. I use the RIS adapter and it feels great. It has a great pattern, and easy to reload. You could definately get a great gbb or aeg for the cost but this is a nice add on to a rifle.]]> October 25, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=867

We expected a quality product made by UTG. However, this bag actually exceeded our high expectations. It can carry enough firepower and accessories to take on a small, third world country! The bag is light, yet strong. The padding is thick, well thought out, and protects your rife and pistol better than any other bag we have used, or seen used by our friends. There is plenty of room to store extra mags, laser sights, flashlights, co2 tubes and anything else you might need in the field. The black color is striking, and while at home in the field it actually conveys a very professional, serious kick a-- impression. Recommend this item without reservation. ]]> October 24, 2009 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1957

these BBs are amazing -the best quality BBs i have ever used. these BBs will make every shot deadly accurate and on point. i would suggest that you only use these BBs if your gun shoots at or better than 430fps. these BBs have no problem nailing a target during windy matches. as deadly as these BBs are, it will decrease your fps, so make sure your gun actually need these BBs. over all, these are the best of the best BBs out there, so get them.]]> October 24, 2009
