I'm not a personal fan of the high cap magazines, just because they rattle, so these are nice. grab about four of them for your mp5, and you'll be more than set for anything.]]> May 11, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1230

This a great gun. i would recommend this gun to anyone who likes jg and a good gun that has good FPS. the price is good and fps is great. the only thing i don't like is that the handguard that holds the battery and the stock are a little flimsy but rest is good. i would definitely use the wind up tool that is given with the magazine because it winds the mag up in about 20-40 seconds when without it it takes about 60 seconds.

i would recommend the universal smart charger because you would forget about the battery and leave it charging for abour 10 hours and that isn't good

recommend:
universal smart charger
tactical magazine holder: good to hold your magazines, speedloader and bb's
120 bb speedloader
extra 300 rd mag: so you can just pull off empty mag and pop in new one
extra bbs because you run out quick

thanks, buy gun it is good

rate if you think it is helpful]]> May 11, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1036

(this is a pretty lengthy review so if you're looking for a simple pros and cons list, take your impatient ass and scroll down)

Ok so I've grown up shooting shotguns, as all the Mertons have, so I naturally love them. I'd seen the UTG M3L (full stock version) when it first came out and thought it was really cool that it was a shell fed tri barrel shotgun, ie, a real shotgun. Now that I had a high end primary I could afford to drop some cash into a good shotgun. I had recieved positive and negative comments about getting one, the main negative comment was "You'll never use it". Yes, I realize that I may not use it frequently but as aforementioned I just love shotguns.

I looked at the Maruzin ca870 sawed off shotgun but realized I didn't want to blow $100 on a 20 inch long shotty that was clip fed. I then came to the debate between the TM and UTG M3L. I'd heard from many respectible sources that they were essentially the same with only minor aesthetic differences. I found a TM M3 for a low price but some things came to light about the seller so I held off. After much thought I decided on the UTG M3L.

So, on Saturday May 10 DR and I took a ride down to Shorty USA in Delaware. I'd heard that the UTG was toyishly light and when the guy handed me the UTG all my perceptions were blown out of the water. To me it is the perfect weight, not light but not heavy. I then looked at the new Echo 1 shotguns but it just looked too modern for me. I like shotguns to look at least somewhat like the classic ones, and the Echos were just the opposite. I knew I'd have to get extra shells as well because what self repspecting shotugn owner has but 2 shells? I made my purchase and went to the back to shoot it. As everyone says, it is pretty hard to cock the first time you shoot it. I pulled it back and nothing, then again nothing, then I got it. One bb went straight while the others veered off. I knew I just had to lube it and I'd be fine so I finished the shell and packed it up and headed home.

As soon as I got home I grabbed my silicon lube, bag of ammo, and was off to the woods (right behind my house). I sprayed some lube down each of the barrels, loaded up all the red and black shells (f*** those ugly ass green ones) and took my position atop the foundation of an old house in the woods. I was very impressed. The shots shot much more straight than the initial firing. For all the first shots I used .25s so I decided to try out some .2s. I'd really advise against doing so because the bbs loose any grouping after a very short distance. So, I stuck with the .25s for the rest of the night. Even with the .25s you don't get a VERY tight grouping, about 1.5 feet at 100+ ft, but it's a SHOTGUN, meant to spread about and wreak havoc to all in front of it. Zorlord came over and we sat on the foundation shooting the M3 for hours, stopping only when the sun had set.

Pros:
- 130 dollars less than the TM counterpart
- Extra shells are cheap, $15 for 6 more
- Cocking safety, after you have cocked the gun, you cannot cock it again until you've shot, unlike the TM which you can break if you cock it multiple times.
- Soft, textured grips on the butt of the stock, hand grip, and pump
- Shell fed
- Shells are the same size as 12 guage shells (see pics)

Cons
- Somewhat hard to cock (not hard for me, only the first time people shoot it)
- If you partially cock the gun, then fully cock it you will fire 5 or 6 bbs which may hurt the gun
- Shells do not come in one set color (purely personal preference, I'd prefer all black or all red)


So if you're buying this gun make sure you do the following:

1. Lube the barrel before you judge the shooting
2. Only use .25s unless you want a completely random spread


Overall this is a fabulous gun. I love that it is shell fed, so when you load it it feels like you're loading the real thing and has 3 barrels so again, it is like a real shotgun. The only gripes I have are the s***ty shell colors and the fact that if you partially cock it, then fully cock it the gun shoots over 3 shots which I fear may f*** up the gun.]]> May 11, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=667

I just got this gun last week and i took it out with my buds and had a war. To tell you the truth i probably had the best gun there because i was hitting men left and right. This gun has amazing power great feel and is amazingly durable. You can drop this gun all you want and it will still be intact. I definitely recommend that you get a holster for this gun and an extra mag which will put you up to 44 rounds which ia a lot more rounds than a reg mag. the cocking is really easy on this gun you just slide it back and shoot. it takes all of less than a second. I recommend that everybody wants a cheap backup. i suggest that you get this gun for the power feel and durability that this amazing gun will give you for all of $20. And even if you don't want this color thay have a full silver, full black, black slide silver handle, or even silver slide black handle. All the same type of gun same type of feel and same power. So in the end this is the best backup springer i have had and i suggest all should buy. And everybody have a great time shooting.]]> May 11, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=276

before i begin my review, i would like to say that i really think this gun deserves 2 or maybe 2 1/2 stars. i just put three cus i don't like being negative.

ok! first off i got this gun a little while after CHRISTmas at .... it was like 18 bucks or something, so i guess if you get this you get a slightly better deal. at the time i was not very into airsoft, but now i can't get enough of it.

recently i was doing a video review on this gun to put on you tube. i pretty much started out by saying that there isn't too much i like about the gun. i was right in the middle of it when i cocked it, and it broke in my hand. "in the end, read the bottom to see a cool prank i do with this gun."
honestly there isn't anything good about this gun!

pros:
looks cool
small
easy to cock (until it breaks, and then when you cock it the top snaps off)
it has a good hand grip.

cons:
first off it isnt a good brand
not reliable
breaks WWWWAAAAYYYY to easy
not powerful
HORRABLE hop up (meaning it goes either straight up, or streight down)
bad effective range
doesnt hurt AT ALL.
this is an over all BAD GUN!!!

my prank: i broke my gun appart, (after it broke on me,) and took the insides out. i took a teddy bear, ripped out one of the eye balls, and the stuffing in the head, and placed my gun inside.i stuck the end of the barrel in in the eye, and put the stuffing back in behind the gun. now when people walk into my room, i can just hold it with one hand, and put the other hand inside the bear, and on the trigger. they see a bear, but what they dont know is that they are about to get shot ten times!!!

While this was my first airsoft gun, I have many friends who I've played with, and I have used a TON of different guns, ranging from low power pistols and mini AEGs to gas pistols, high-end AEGs, and sniper rifles. Because of this, i know what a good gun is, and this gun is an INSANE gun.

I bought this a little over a year ago, and when i first got it, it consistantly shot for AT LEAST 250 ft. NO LIE. It was accurate for up to maybe 150-180 feet, which is crazy for a spring pistol. the bb goes perfectly straight and hits it's target every time. i was just playing for fun against my friend who had a pistol similar to this one in quality, in a backyard battle, and i hit the piece right in between his safety glasses...from like 100 feet!!

now, mine only goes for about 100 feet before curving down, but it's normal for a springer to do that after a while, provided i shot at least 5,000 rounds through it in the past year. now it is pretty much the best backup weapon ever. before this, i was able to compete against shotguns and rifles even. like some have said, i doesn't hurt much, but come on. it doesn't have to kill the person to be a good gun. all it has to do is hit them, and it definitely does that.

also it is a great deal for it to come with TWO 26 round magazines. I have gone for whole battles with this as my only weapon without even having to load a magazine.

overall an amazing gun, and for 20 bucks????? i would be willing to pay up to $60 for this! This is a great gun for both beginners and experienced airsoft players alike. I look forward to using this gun for a long time.]]> May 11, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=176

I got ths gun and it was a GREAT deal. you should buy it. The first thing i noticed about it when i opened the box was there was no aiming reticule. also, it shoots skyward after about the first 90-100 feet, but other than that it's good. It gets really heavy in battle and the strap isn't good at all, it's real short.

the UTG M3L Multi-Shot shotgun seems a lot more powerful than 280 fps. The only really bad part about this gun that i've seen is that if you want all three shots to come out, you gotta tilt the barrel slightly down. If you cock it straight up nothing will come out. Also if you get this gun you need to get the extra shells because this thing will guzzle rounds if you're in an intense battle. The cocking is hard for weak people but you get used to it. Overall this gun can take on an expensive electric gun any day and it's amazing. ]]> May 11, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=818

I being the "technician" fixed it in about ten minutes, but it still screwed up the games we play in some forest where we live.

The spring famas is an overall ok spring gun. The fps is not too high so it is not great for long distance sniping, and it can not really compete with automatics at mid range. On the other hand, it is a really unique gun and looks cool. Also the pull back to load bbs is really easy and the clip never gets in the way. Overall an OK gun for small backyard spring skirmishes and indoor battles. DEFINITELY NOT for long distance battles and automatic CQB battles.

First of all, why? Why would echo 1 make a shotgun that has the equivalent power of almost any airsoft sniper rifle? Because they have come out with this gun there is almost no reason to even buy a sniper rifle anymore. With this "airsoft SHOTGUN" you can actually just put a scope on it and call it a sniper. Some people play airsoft because they like the realism over paintball or other sports. In actual life, shotguns will have a hard time hitting something at 100-150 yds. when snipers can hit targets at over 2 miles. It's just disgusting. I personally used to like Echo 1 but with this gun people will BE SNIPING WITH SHOTGUNS.

This gun has no power with 2.s and those are the only BBs that are accurate with it. The slide has metal reinforcement at the back. However, there is a ton of flex in the slide towards the middle.

The Sig is a fine weapon. Good slide-action like all KWC pistols, real licensed trades, and speed-load mags.
The KWC HPA series has actually been around for a while. These pistols are updated and improved pistols from their previous years. The guns are no different than they are now with the exception of improved hopup, the metal outer barrel and slightly better internals.
Everybody is complaining about these fine guns having poor mag caps and I agree. I however made a soloution

this stuff is great. i probably have gotten 20-30 of these and used them on all of my guns. it improves the range and accuracy of the guns and also makes the fps go up by 15-20 fps. this is the easiest way to keep your guns good forever. it also is very easy. i would recommend not using it while in battle because usually the first 75-100 shots are not better but then after that your shots improve by a great deal. overall i love this stuff.

i have had this quick loader for about 1 year and i have to admit i thought it would last not even half as long as i've had it. i am giving short congragulations for very good durability. this quick loader is ok but there is one thing that i do not like about it. when you push the plunger thingy down and let it back up you have to shake the loader so that the bb's go into the loading chamber. this makes the loading time 1-2 seconds slower than they actually tell you but it is still better than using the ramrod. it also has a great bb capacity. overall if you want a good and semi-fast loader then you should buy this. if you just want to reload your gun fast then i would recommend buying some extra magazines instead of buying this speed loader. but if you are one of those people that misplaces their magazines all the time then buy this. did i mention that the price is such a great bargain. overall love this thing but there are a couple of flaws that could be fixed easily.]]> May 10, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=668

Like I said one of the best M16 AEG rifles on the web! The sighting mechanism can be removed and replaced with a scope, a flashlight, or a red dot sight. The gear box is MOSTLY metal (that's a good thing). It features an adjustible hop-up system, wind up 300 round magazine, semi auto, and full auto. The Fps isn't that bad (it doesn't hurt a lot), but your friends or ENEMIES will run from the 800 *rpms!!


Pros
-looks
-Fps
-magazine
-lenghth
-weight
-accuracy
-range

Cons
-The company (Ehco 1 is better)

Well i got one of these for my Mad Bull AGX launcher and they are incredible. Holds an insane amount of BBs and like shorty said it does make a huge wall of BBs downrange. I can take out a whole group of people with one shot from this.
Loading it with gas is really easy, like shorty says all you do is push the base in and fill it with gas, rather than twisting the base (like on my friend's classic army grendade) This also uses green gas (impossible to find now) propane and Co2. I Recommend using propane over Co2 but that's just me. As for price this is almost the same as the 124 rounds so this is obviously better.

Many people are saying that this scope is not worth $80 and you can buy another 4X32 scope for a lot less money. The reason that this scope is so expensive, is because of the quality. It is very, very durable and will never fail you unlike a cheaper scope. The crosshairs are absolutely awesome too. Another great thing about this scope is that it never fogs up. If you want to save money and buy a cheaper scope, go right ahead. But when it's not very reliable and you always have to worry about it breaking and not being perfectly clear all the time, you'll regret not getting a STANAG.]]> May 10, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=505

I highly recommend these bbs for anyone with a sniper rifle or AEG (not a good idea for pistols or spring rifles). They do not go quite as fast as .20 bbs but they hit a lot harder and are WAY more accurate. Once you start using .25 bbs, you can never go back to using .20s because of the difference in accuracy. Also, they are biodegradable which is great because we are keeping our planet clean and playing our favorite sport at the same time. Do not ever hesitate to buy biodegradable bbs, even though they cost a little more, they are well worth the price.

Great choice of red dot sight for anyone who is not willing to spend a lot of money on a high quality red dot sight. This sight gets the job done very simply and has a great size objective lense. Most red dot sights are 30mm but this one is 40mm meaning that you have a larger field of view and you can see more targets at the same time.]]> May 10, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1183

My brother had this gun and it was really powerful. The only problem I found when I tried was it can be a little difficult cocking. 22 rounds is great for a spring pistol. It was very tough and durable. After a year it stopped cocking altogether. It makes a really nice back-up. M9's are usually reliable. 20 bucks is a decent price. Good starter's weapon.

this is a really great gun, but i think I held down the trigger too long and something smelled like burnt plastic, so i opened it up and some plastic thing caught fire and it totally screwed up the gun (totally my fault) if you want an excellent gun, but can't afford the g&g types, this is a good choice, but do NOT get the 2500 hi cap magazine thing, as this increases the chances of overworking the gears and catching something on fire,

i just recently broke out my guns for the first war i've done in a while and my friend Ben brought this to the table. i was surprised at the weight of it, i have a desert eagle that is all plastic and it's extremely light in comparison. then he shot me in the toe when he was standing next to me, and it hurt like a mother through the shoe, though only for a minute. when we started playing, it out-shot most of the guns we were using, including three p99s, a hardball shotgun, my deagle, and a pos crosman electric, meant only as backup. not a gun for professionals, but a good one for popping at squirrels and neighborhood kids from decent range. ]]> May 10, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1355

Currently I am using this as my back up gun for my secondary(I have a Utg mk23 and Sig hpa 2022 on the way though). It is accurate(at 30 feet I had 2 inch spreads, at 50 feet I had 3 inch spreads and at 90 feet I had 8 inch spreads). It has pretty good fps at 210 doesn't quite have the range or punch of Hpas.

Fps- 4.5 out of 5
Accuracy- 4.5 out of 5
Range- 4 out of 5
Capacity- 4 out of five (average springer)
Looks- 4 out of 5
Playability- 4 out of five

Summary: good gun but better ones out there in price range. If you are wondering whether or not it is worth the money to get a hpa it is. The fps increases by 20 and the range icreases by 20. Also hpas are more accurate(noticable).]]> May 09, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=543

This gun is great! I have had for a couple of months now and it is one of the best guns I have. I have a Tokyo Marui M16 A1 which is great. I upgraded my M16 to use as a sniper rifle. It shoots about 400 fps(with .2) and is very accurate.It's range is about 150 feet. This Utg kills my Tokyo Marui at fps, range, and accuracy. This gun is very accurate. At 40 feet I had a 1.5 inch spread with five bbs. At 80 feet I had a 3 inch spread with 5 bbs. And at 160 feet I had a spread of a foot. You might think this is not very good but it is. If you are a pro and want a back up sniper this is perfect. It is also perfect if you just play on the weekends with your friends and want a gun to shoot from long distances and nail your friends.

UTG M324
Fps- 5 out of 5
Range- 5 out of 5
Accuracy- 4.5 out of 5 (Don't get me wrong it is extremely accurate but up against a TM Vsr 10 it is not quite as good)

Playability- 5 out of 5 (It's a sick Assault that isn't bad in CQB and doubles as a good sniper rifle.)


Summary :
My suggestion is to get it and use it when playing in secluded areas and have a gun that is a sub machine gun. The best combo I could think of is to get a M4, M16, or Aug as a primary assault rifle that doubles as a sniper. And get a good gas handgun as a secondary. For those of you who are wondering if the Aegs will compete with the Utg in accuracy, they do. With my M16 I had an inch spread at 50 feet and a foot spread at 150 feet.Hope this helped

Right now my setup consists of a UTG mk96 and a Y&P usp for a sidearm, and I keep two of these in my setup, one filled with .25s for my sniper and .20s for my handgun. I'm able to reload all three of my handgun clips a second's time in a match without getting more gas and my two sniper clips once over again.

First Impression: I ordered the Glock with an extra mag and it came like two days later. Upon opening the box i was greeted by a jet black pistol with rubber grips, it is one of the most comfortable pistols I have ever held.

Performance: Now what we are waiting for... This thing is amazing, the range and fps are outstanding, and accuracy is very respectable. When I took my Glock 17 to an airsoft game my friends were greatly impressed on how well this thing performed. It can easily hit a man sized target at 100 feet no problem at all.

Build Quailty: I have been airsofting for 8 years and I have been around a lot of crappy guns and a lot of great performers. This gun is one of my favorites, I have yet to have something fall off this gun, durabilty is amazing. One problem I have encoutered was with the spare mag... it seems to spray the bbs out if accidently bumped when it's in my vest.

Overal great gun, I highly recommend it!

I have owned this gun for about a year now and it's still going strong! I have used it in several skirmishes and it hasn't let me down. In my honest opinion... The FPS is a little on the low side for me, but it's not something to complain about, it makes an excellent sidearm.

Pros~

Great build quaility
Accuracy
Mag capacity
1911 Styling
Weight

Cons~

FPS could be higher

Just got my new AEG. I wasn't used to capping my barrels, but since a lot of fields are requiring them now, I thought I'd get into the habit. Well, getting into the habit of putting the barrel cap on was easy. Remembering to take it off is a little harder. Second time after I capped it I went out for some target shooting at night. Forgot to take the cap off. I couldn't understand why the gun wasn't firing. I thought the magazine was misloading. I did the rounds; check the magazine to see if it was full, wound it up a little just to make sure, pushed it in a little firmer, checked the battery connections, ect. Then my little brother, who was watching, said, "You forgot to take the cap off!" I must have fired twenty rounds before he realized what was wrong. I pulled the cap off and bb shards fell onto the ground. I probably fired ten rounds on full auto then ten more on semi while I was checking the gun. The cap was completely unharmed. I'll have to remember to take it off next time, or I might damage the gun; the cap will be fine.

This is one of the greatest springs you can get for your gun. The incredible FPS more than makes up for the lost RPM. Just make sure your gun can take it - lower end MPEGs will get run down fast as the stock gears and motors can't take it. If you have an Echo1-grade or higher quality gun, you won't be sorry.

Pros:
Are you kidding? It's one big pro.
High Quality
Great Power
Long-Lasting
Dependable
Price (look at it; amazing)
German Made
Marui Compatable
Color Coded

Cons:
None.

Get this spring for more power! You won't believe how good your gun will shoot with this! It will be like getting an entirely new gun for $16!

If you have a gun that doesn't have as high an FPS as you want? The M110 spring is the upgrade for you. Sure, it doesn't give as much power as the M120's, but it doesn't put your gearbox at risk.

Oh, wait, you didn't know that? The action of the Spring being streched and released time and time again can put massive strains on your gearbox, to the extent of actually shattering the metal. Unless you have a reinforced gearbox and other upgraded internals, you want to stay away from the M120.

Buy this M110. It is not held under the same tension as the M120, and does not pose a threat to your AEG. Chances are, if you need to upgrade your gun to get it to fire 340 fps, your gun probably isn't capable of hosting and M120. This spring however will give you your power boost and keep your gun safe.

There is also reason for people with higher power guns to get this. By downgrading your spring from whatever it was to this, even if it means losing 30-40 fps, can be a good choice. Your ROF will increase and your gearbox will last longer. Your motor won't burn out quite as fast, your gears won't strip, your piston won't shatter quite so soon; it's a pretty good chance that you could increase your gun's lifetime by a manner of years.

So you can see, buying and installing this spring is a good choice for anyone. The M120 might appeal to the power junkies, but rest assured, when their guns stop working months after they upgrade them, you can laugh in their faces as you shoot them with your fully functional AEG. Spending $16 and 30fps for this spring versus $400 every few months for a new AEG; I think we can all see what the better deal is.]]> May 09, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1517

This is one of the most ugly guns I have ever seen. Regardless, its performance more than makes up for its hideous apperance. The bull-pup design is a work of sheer genius, if not of art. Echo 1 is really becoming a serious contender in the AEG race. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.
Most of the weight in this gun is concentrated in the back, closer to your elbow. This makes carrying it much, much easier. When you hold it, it balances itself in your grip and feels like and extension of your arm. Other AEG's put the center of gravity further forward, taking a constant effort on your part to keep the barrel up.
If you really don't care about looks and want to buy purely on functionality, this gun is the way to go. Buy it, as it is a great design. ]]> May 09, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1439

This gun is simply stunning. It is better than a lot of sniper rifles out there. Not only that, the pump action makes it easier to cock also. The power of this gun is just marvelous. UTG makes great shotguns, but Echo 1 just trumped them.
The only con to this weapon is the price: a little expensive for a spring gun, but who cares?
All it needs is a high cap mag. It would be nice also if Shorty could post some pictures so that everyone can drool over it. Great Gun!]]> May 09, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1196

When sneaking around the last thing you want is the other team to hear your highcap mag full of bbs rattling around. these won't make a sound since there's no loose bbs and they're still hold enough that if you get into a fire fight you don't have to reload constantly. The only downside is they're plastic.

Pros:
Very sturdy
Feed flawlessly
Only cost around 7 bucks a piece
You get 8 mags that hold 100 rounds each
They don't rattle
No winding

Cons:
PLASTIC(this will not be a problem if you take care of your gun and magazines![i know it's not a problem for me!!])

This gun is spectacular for a spring pistol, I got this gun from a friend on my b-day awhile ago and this gun is almost as good as the AK-47 war hawk, i have that too. When i play 3 vs. 1 or 2vs. 1 i normally use the MK23 and I just about win every time. This gun is extremely acurate and the silencer is better with it on, the silencer increases the range and it also actually silences the shot, the silencer is definitely not cheap. The clip capacity is great, 26rds, and it comes with two, but never put one more BB than 26, if you do so the gun will be hard to cock and will jam, trust me it happend to me. Between my AK-47 war hawk and my MK23, for small battles I use the MK23, but for larger ones AK-47 for sure. This gun is better than its price!!!!


PROS:
-Great accuracy
-Amazing fps
-Cheap
-Great feel
-Silencer silences
-Amazing range

CONS:
-Watch out for silencer,
threaded tip may break
if used too roughly.

Hope this helped

You are definitely going to need this. it makes your guns work a lot better. it increases the accuracy so much that it is crazy. it also makes them a lot more powerful and helps your guns last much longer. buy it.]]> May 08, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1268

Well, I ordered this gun recently for some local field play. I usually go out with small groups (4 - 6 people) and I usually play the heavy gunner role, since I'm a pretty gutsy character. Anyhow, the first night out, this gun rocked! It's deadly accurate, even in 15MPH wind. I was hitting targets dead on, or with little variance, up to 100 - 150 ft away. Pretty impressive since my buddy, who has a Thompson which shoots 365FPS was having a hard time doing the same.

I have a few complaints, however, when I got the gun in, one part of the collapsable stock was detached. Not broken, just detached. It's the little bolt cap on the right side (if you're looking down the sights) that detached. Just took an allen wrench and repaired it rather quickly. The other complaint, which isn't the gun's fault, more so mine, is that, upon loading the battery, I accidentally dislodged a wire. I took it to a local repair shop and they fixed it nice and quick. Like I said, my fault - not the gun's - however, I suppose it should've been more secure.

I took this gun up to a local air soft field to have it chrono'd, it came it at 360 - 380FPS. Which astounds me! That means my BB's move anywhere from 264.21 - 278.88MPH. Talk about ouch factor at close range!

My War Story:

I was out at our local Multi-Purpose Park with four other people, playing an early morning game (1:00 or 2:00AM.) The field is completely dark, so, myself and my one teammate are moving up slowly on these pillars. We take them with ease and scan the horizon, looking for anyone's silhouette against what little light there was, when I noticed a black lump behind a rock about 20 yards ahead. I whispered to my buddy and began to inch forward. I came up to the rock, realized I was about 5 feet from my target and yelled "Drop it!" She did not, however, drop it and began shooting wildly, totally missing me. So I, being a jerk, unloaded into her side for about 5 seconds. The gun is so powerful at such close range that it broke her skin - every shot.]]> May 08, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=742

First the b.b's are great. They're the size this thing takes and there's a lot of them. The mags are nice but it's almost too many. 4 Mags is a lot and there's no way you'll empty that many if you use this gun right. Gun is good not great I would highly recommend it to beginners i'll give you the pros and cons.

Pros
Accuracy
Durability
Fps is not bad at all
Range is pretty good
Looks
Feels nice
Cons
Hate the way it caulks
Dosen't look like a sniper
annoying sound

So the reason it's three stars is because if you play a lot of airsoft with classic armys or other high tech guns you will need a real sniper not a spring assaut rifle.]]> May 08, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1513

i was once in the forest, doing airsoft, and so i'm sniping with this gun, and a sniper hits me in the face!, i drop the gun just as the bad guys are storming my spot, and when i was running to the base i looked back and saw that they ran over this gun with the ATV! i was mad, so when i got back there i picked up the gun, and it was fine, not a scratch! it still works today]]> May 08, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1047

Ok, let's start with the pros. It's a good gun and it's fast with a semi lightweight body.

But there's more cons than pros. One of those cons being is that FRIENDS DON'T LIKE IT WHEN THEY'RE IMPAILED BY A LITTLE GREEN BB! Also it can sometimes be breakable]]> May 08, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=63

Overall, good spring sidearm to have. I use it for backyard brawls which works perfect. I have a strangely long backyard that's a little over 100ft.

PROS
-ACCURATE AS HELL
-SHOOTS GOOD
-GOOD SIZE MAG
-TWO TONE LOOKS PRETTY SICK

CONS
-JAMS every now and then
-PLASTIC
-WHEN YOU COCK IT BACK IT FEELS REAL FLIMSY ALMOST LIKE ITS ABOUT TO BREAK (which I think is the worst part about it)


Other than that, this thing's accuracy is amazing.

I'd only use it for mini backyard wars cause it will jam, where it won't be a big deal if it's only you and a couple people.

For $20, what more can you expect.]]> May 08, 2008 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=806

I purchased this from Shorty a few weeks ago and have had a chance to mess around with it. I wanted to use a Red-Dot sight for my ICS AEG MP5-A and didn't really like the other offerings, specifically the low rise mounts. I liked this one because it had 2 Weaver-style rails and was reversible in case I discovered I don't like my laser/flashlight(to be purchased later) on the left.

I knew the rail was a little high from the pictures, but what I didn't know, and I'm pretty sure wasn't really pointed out well in Shorty's description was that you can still use the Iron Sights with this on--which is pretty f'n cool.

I use an Eotech-style red-dot for my mp5 and love it with this rail mount. It sits nice and high and wasn't at all a problem for me to zero in. The key is to put your face in the same spot every time (a common technique). I could agree with the above poster that it might raise it up a bit much for a G3, since a G3 is an Assault rifle and is usually used in the prone, resulting in an awkward neck position.

I however have no problem with the height it raises whatever sight one uses. To me it feels natural on my MP5. Plus, it looks DANG close to the one you get on your MP5 in CoD4! (cool, right?!)

Gave it a 4 because it might be awkward on a G3, but for an MP5? Go for it. You get 2 weaver mounts with it, and can still use the Iron Sights.]]>
