This is all in all a great invention and product. This will most definitely satisfy your needs.
This smart charger charged my 1200MaH battery in just about 45 minutes- 1 hour!!!!! And that was on the lowest form of charge type!

Pros:
Wont over charge your batter
Fast at charging
Fits all size batteries
Has two types of battery charge types (.9a and 1.8a)

Cons:
A little bit big but that is no problem at all
May burn up your battery cells if you use the wrong charge mode so be careful

I have owned this weapon for a few months now, and have had no issues with it.

The only safety is in the trigger like a glock, but if you follow safe handling practices, you will have no problem


Get at least 2 mags, 1 is not enough for all the fun.

On full auto I get about 1 3/4 mags per propane charge.
On semi only on a warm day, I get 3 mags per propane fill.

The ns2 system is very gas efficient, and it likes .25's
It is pretty accurate, and it is a perfect all around gun, it is not just for CQB, I use it as a primary in woodland also.

I added an eotech it helps make longer shots easier due to the precise aiming point.

The only drawback to the weapon is the muzzle does not have standard threads to adapt a standard suppressor or tracer unit, it takes a "special" silencer that is very hard to find. But it is the same as on the real gun.

I machined a new outer barrel out of aluminum to accept standard airsoft accessories.

Pros:
accurate
reliable
well made
gas efficient
high rof
very realistic

Cons:
Non standard external barrel


Other than that, Great gun!

As everyone knows this is a spring pistol so its not going to pick someone off at 100ft but if your looking into a cheap backup this is it. The metal slide has a nice "clink" when you release the locking slide. But overall this is a great gun.]]> January 22, 2012 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=63

great handgun, perfect nice side arm

pros:
1) great accuracy
2) long range
3) large clip

cons:
1) looks plastic
2) feels plastic
3) open ejection port means that ammo falls out if you don't hold it right while cocking

overall, it's a good gun and also, the fact that this gun is heavy is both a pro and a con because it makes it more difficult to hold up for prolonged times and take very long range shots but it makes the gun more comfortable for those who also handle real guns.]]> January 22, 2012 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2005

I just bought this gun, and so far it has been the best i have ever used.

Fps: 8/10 Using .2 gram it shoots 380. but the .2 will fly upwards because they are not heavy enough. The .25 gram works the best and hurt allot more. Overall this gun really hurts.

Rpm: 7/10 Though it may not be as high as other guns, it shoots fast enough. There is no need to shoot 1500 rpm, your just wasting bb's. This shoots around 800 rpm.

Range: 10/10. This is the most accurate AEG i have ever shot. The barrel is about 1 1/2 feet long and you can easily hit targets 80 yards away. I took out 3 snipers from at least 40 yards only using 5 shots on semi.

Look: 11/10 It looks extremely real and the real wood really adds a touch. It's feel, weight, looks and blow back makes it look extremely real. It scares the s*** out of my friends when it starts shooting.

Battery: 8/10 The battery lasts long enough. It fits very smoothly in its compartment with no problem. The only thing that is annoying is how you have to unscrew the stock to put the battery in and out.

Overall: 9.5/10 This gun is the best, coolest, bad a** gun that i have ever used or seen.]]> January 22, 2012 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=3131

Hello airsofters,

This is my first review, so please be kind to me. I have shot this gun only a few hundred rounds... accurate yes, reliable yes, 400 fps yes. That is not what this gun is about, its just crazy fun to shoot. I cant explain exactly why, but it is one of the most fun to shoot air soft guns i have shot. I can not say that if I could only have one airsoft gun, that I would pick this one. However I am adding one to my collection, FIVE stars!]]> January 21, 2012 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=858

Looks amazing, which is the main reason I bought it. You get that special forces don't mess with me look, but at a very high price. I was also not that impressed with how hard it shoots although 120 bbs is impressive. Overall, im glad to own it.

Pros-
-looks good
-well constructed
-easy to use
-very intimidating
-shoots up to 120 bbs in one shot
-easy to use load lock button and safety switch

cons-
-expensive
-low fps (doesnt shoot very hard in my opinion, i would say 200fps is a very generous rating)
-takes forever to load]]> January 21, 2012 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1354

I have this on the JG M4 New Gen AEG Rifle and all I can say is wow! It has not let me down oncce! I have been in about 3 games with it and it is awesome. The red dot is perfect. In some light you cant see through the glass around it though. I was in the woods and it was fine. Just when it started to get dusk is when that happened.


Pros:
Great Red Dot
Good Price
Good Looking
Long Battery Life

Cons:
Sometimes Windage and Height knobs turn when rub up against something (very loose)
In low light hard to see through sight sometimes]]> January 18, 2012 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=634

I cannot begin to express my satisfation with this gun. To give you an example of my pleasure, I upgraded from an A&K M4 to this beast. The colors are spot on, the construction was solid, the trademarks are ligit, and the functioning bolt catch is a whole new level of cool. The gun is rock solid and right out of the box but I was buying this gun to win, not compete. I thru a 9.6v in there and an upgraded spring and had the thing shooting at 420fps with .25 bbs. Get this gun!

On a side note, I am sadened by firestrike23 review. It shows a lack of intelligence and ruins the star rating for browsing customers. It seems he does not even have the gun and is just rating it based off of his standards of overpriced. The truth is, quality come with a price.

To start off, this gun has a totally AMAZING feel, Its polymer just like the real steel, 470 round mag, not bad at all. A bit costly, but in the end its totally worth it, my first game i used with it, first shot was a hit going semi. Chronoed in at 400-410 FPS, rubberized stock, KWA made it, so you know the internals are amazing stock, so no need for upgrades.Also, its a G36C, perfect for those who are getting tired of the old M4. And don't pay attention to "JosephB" He is talking about the Umarex G36C you can get from Bass Pro Shops for $120. Not at all near the quality of this. The only thing Umarex on this gun is the H&K trademarks that KWA got from Umarex. Other than that, it is all KWA. PROS/CONS TIME.

Pros:
FPS
Mag capacity
STURDY.
Polymer like real steel.
Completely ambidextrous. (Helpful because i'm a leftie.)
15 bb's a second.

Cons:
Price.
Other than that, none.

I first bought this gun to use as a side arm for my sniper but soon realized i could hit a can at 60 feet with it so i use it as my back up but has really great accuracy. The great thing about it is how it feels so real and it is a cool looking gun. I bought two extra mags just in case I needed more ammo. So if you want to be able to reload in the field you will have to buy a speed loader and I recommend a holster.

This was not my first choice but the all metal pistol I wanted was not in stock. Out of the box it shoots low but the nice thing is that it has an adjustable rear sight and Hop Up. After adjusting the rear sight the accuracy was fine. It also has a white dot on the front sights which I find helpful. The trigger pull is a little heavy so if you like a light trigger pull this may not be the right gun for you. The slide has very solid feel to it. Overall this is a very nice pistol and I would have given it 5 stars if it had a lighter trigger. ]]> January 07, 2012 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2845

Ok, first things first. It's a spring pistol, so you can't expect anything too fantastic. HOWEVER, this gun is different. What I look for in a pistol is durability and performance, naturally. This gun has both and hit's the nail right on the head, lacking slightly on the durability side, being entirely plastic. It's has a construction that is simple, yet very function-able and eye-appealing.

The power is decent and just enough too let your target know he's been hit, but that's not what I personally like most about this gun. The range is great at around 120 to 135 ft., making this a great back-up for any position on the team that lacks range in his primary, (sub-machine gunner or shotgunner).

Pros:
power
range
looks
magazine capacity
weight
price

Cons:
beside the extra mag, there are no more to purchase from my knowledge
it's a bit large and may not fit in some holsters
mag release isn't created for lefties (not a problem for me though, being a righty and all)
HEAVY shot curve (is easily fixed with heavier BB's)
constructed entirely of plastic
nothing else that I can think of...


P.S. the extra mag thrown in is a life saver and the mock suppressor was constructed of a tough metal and really was the icing on the cake for me (didn't actually affect sound, but for free who can complain)

I bought this along with the Echo 1 SCAR l tan because I like mid caps and the one that the gun comes with is garbage. Buy 4 and along with what ever high caps you have, ammo will be no issue. There is only one thing to do when you receive this mag. Take some silicon spray and but it down the shaft where the BBs go. Then fire through a couple clips and you are good to go. As the title says, it is a great mid cap.]]> January 03, 2012 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=868

Got this rifle for my grandson for Christmas and we both have been very pleased with its performance. A lot of reviews expressed how well this gun met expectations, and I can say it really has hi the mark (no pun intended) for us. Everything was well put together in this design and the rifle seems to be fairly accurate out to at leat 150 feet with both the .28g rounds and much to our surprise, the .20g rounds were almost as effective. Put a 4x32 scope on it and it too has really been great. Absolutely get a scope with this rifle because only luck will get you anywhere close to hitting anything without it. For a great sniper rifle at an extremely good valuse, this is it. I do not think anyone would be disappointed with its purchase!!]]> January 03, 2012 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=819

I got this gun at a store and played with it the very same day. For those of you who are wondering, I didnt order mine off the net and it came with a 8.4, shorty is right in the description. Great durability and looks, extremely sturdy. Easy to take apart, just hammer out two dis assembly pins, pull the charging handle back and push the upper receiver up and forward. The charging handle is functional, pull it back to reveal the hop up. Makes a great noise when you pull the charging handle back and let it go. The D ring was hard to pull like what everybody says, but it gets easier after a while. It used to take two people to install the battery because of the d ring, but its easy after you break it in. The magazine that came with mine began misfeeding after the first few days, but the gun itself functions well and i expect it will for a while. Im not worried about the mag. I just got rid of it and bought a new one. This thing sound great in the distance. I havent played any large games yet, but i played with two other people, one of which who also had this same gun, and was winning constantly. Good ROF, great sound, great construction,and above all, great performance. totally worth 200 dollars ]]> December 29, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2309

this is my second KWA M4 and my first one (first gen M4 Tac S-system) is still intact and performs great. KWA's are built tough and are LiPo ready, which is great if you want an ROF of 20bbs or higher.

Pros-
- Full Metal, very durable
- LiPo ready
- 2nd Gen gearbox = 420fps
- pretty lightweight for an M4


Cons-
- Crane stock limits choice of Batt.
- Price

Well I'll be honest... the first time I looked at this gun I said "What the heck has Echo 1 done with their guns?" A month later Christmas arrived and guess what came in the box. My Echo 1 MTC 2. I had my doubts about this gun and then when I got to shoot it...that was it, I love this gun!

Firing Tests:
The Echo 1 MTC 2 has a respectable FPS of 370 and the hop up is well designed and is VERY powerful. I was using .2 gram BBs and they were curving up on with the hop-up off. My suggestion is that you buy the heavier BB's and tune the hop up. I also used .23 gram BB's and that didn't make any difference. So pick up some heavier BBs.

Recommended:
The Echo 1 MTC 2 came with two hi-cap mags, a battery and a trickle charger. Keep the hi-caps but buy a couple mid-caps in case of hi-cap mag failure. GET A SMART CHARGER!!! All I can say there. Another thing you might want to look into is a grip and/or optics. The MTC 2 does have iron sights but they are not very good. I am using the UTG CQB Tactedge with a 6 inch tube. I like the sight alot; very accurate and good to go out of the box. The MTC also weighs in at 7lbs. Not much you say; believe me it can get heavy if you are in the middle of a battle.

Overall: I really like this gun and would recommend it to anybody that is in need of a sturdy platform with lots of options to choose from there.

Pros:
Hi ROF
Metal RIS
Easy hop-up adjustment
Reasonable Price
Good FPS

Cons:
Mag a little Wobbly
Magazine Release a little awkward (for me at least)]]> December 26, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=3077

This flashlight is bright, and has a long battery life. I would definitely suggest it if you are ever going to play at night, which I do.

Cons
Wiggles and rattles a little bit in holder unless you tighten it a lot


Pros
Bright
Durable
Reliable
Long Battery Life
Good size
Comes with a pressure switch and a button switch, which is rare


I would definitely say this flashlight is worth the money and wont let you down, (if you play in the dark) ]]> December 15, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1614

PROS
-crazy high FPS even though i use .28
-rails everywhere
-mag size although I ended up buying some high capacity full metal mags
-durability
-collapsible stock
-adjustable hop-up which makes for some amazing accuracy with heavy bbs
-front grip although i never use it
-RPM
-Semi & auto


CONS
- upper rail above the battery isn't as secure as the rest of the rails on the gun. Even though it should lock tight when you screw it down, mine still moves around a bit. Some black electrical tape did a good job at fixing this while keeping the look of the gun.
- It doesn't come with a strap but that never bothered me
- I can't really think of anything else maybe besides the weight but that never bothered me either.

Overall amazing gun. I would suggest when buying it though that you get some better mags and something like the UTG TACTEDGE 1X34 CQB 7 Inch Tactical Red/Green Dot Sight with 30mm Tube. I put that on the upper rail above the battery and i have never regretted it. This gun makes it almost too easy to win matches haha. ]]> December 10, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1800

I ordered another pistol for a relative and added the G.1 for myself. I figured at 10 bucks what the heck. Well it turned out to be the best 10 bucks I've spent in a long time. It has good power for it's size, is accurate at close range, and has a very smooth trigger. The only downside is that the magazine is plastic but again this is a 10 dollar pistol. ]]> December 09, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1660

As soon as I got this I knew I was set to be happy. This gun feels amazing, shoots great and sounds intimidating. At 75 feet with .23 grams I was shooting 3 inch groups through two layers of card-board! I have two speed loaders and am considering getting a second one. It's so powerful and yet still accurate because its a revolver. I SUGGEST USING .23 GRAMS FOR 430 FPS @ 80 FEET.

Pros:
Price (Compare it to other CO2 Revolvers)
FPS
Range
Feel (Heavy yet realistic)
Looks (I enjoy shooting real guns, and this is very good looking)
Sound (Scares the bigeibies out of everyone)

Cons: (These are very minor)
Mag (If it was possible to get a 1911 with the same specs and price it wud rock)
FPS (If you play with little kids or general whimps this thing leaves large welts)

I have to say, this gun was awesome when I took it out for its first few games. The rate of fire is great, just make sure you know how much ammo you have. The weight is very realistic. It's heavy, but it's solid. The only thing I didn't like about was the orange tip. I usually don't mind it but this one is huge. it takes up the whole flash hider and it VERY VERY bright orange. I managed to overcome this issue by using the ACU camo wrap.

The commando barrel comes in handy for CQB. When you're in a tight space, you can take off the barrel extension and you're golden.

Don't do what I did though. I used a 9.6 Battery on full auto and burned out the internals and had to get a new gearbox. Use the 8.4 battery that comes with it. It's more than enough power and RPM. I love the sound that this rifle has too. It isn't the annoying electrical "whine" that you get with most others. It emits a more solid and realistic crack. It has some kickback to it as well which I like a lot.

Great gun!! Gives you a lot of comfort knowing you have that thing with you in the field.]]> November 30, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=959

They are plastic and feel very cheap, but i have never had any problems with mine. Its a magazine, and its completely inside the gun anyway, so it doesent really matter. They can be difficult to get in as well as out, because they tend to stick a little bit. You wont need to reload them often though because they hold a surprising 25 rds. The light weigh, and low price allow you to carry a lot with you during battle, so they are very effective even though theyre nothing fancy or flashy.]]> November 29, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1501

These magazines are pretty good for the price. I purchased four of these and have had only a few problems, one has a slight over fill problem. I have used these in my KWA M-4 for, around six to eight months. If you only buy one you will be disappointed because, it only hold 120 rounds, which goes fast with an AEG. They lock good and feed well, so I guess that is what you are looking for when you buy a magazine.

Pros: Great Price, Very Accurate with .20g bbs, ok fps, best gun available for backyard wars when you don't want to spend a lot of money

Cons: Low mag capacity(burns through mag in 5 seconds on full auto), mag broke after 200 rounds fired

Accuracy: 9/10
Realism: 6/10

I loved this gun once I bought two 110 round magazines.

I am really liking these BBs. I am used to the cheap brand BBs from Jax and these are a huge improvement. I am using these in my UTG m324 sniper and they are very accurate. I love them! they are polished with no seam. They have never jammed and never given me any problem. These are as good as it gets! A must have. All I have left to try are the .4g and see how those work.

Gread BBs in a great gun.

Perfect Side arm.

The thing feels so sturdy, looks super cool, and is all around fun to fire.

The Fps is respectable, and the range is simply intimidating. Leaps and bounds ahead of what you would need for a side arm, and with an affordable price tag!

Also, this gun is CO2 READY. which is awesome. You'll get a higher fps with c02 even though those mags are really expensive... Be warned. But with the affordable price of the gun, you wont worry as much about what you'll have to drop on spare mags!

Buy a propane adapter if you dont want to go the way of C02, but i would probably recommend the C02 route.

This gun is just incredible. Couldn't ask for a better sidearm. The price is right, the gun is jaw dropping, and i guarantee you will have a ton of fun with this weapon.

It's been a long time since i put up a review so here goes:

The HK 416 has always been one of my favorite weapons. I think it just looks so darn cool. Anyway, i had the privilege of purchasing this about a month ago and have been very pleased thus far.

Using a 9.6v Intellect nun chuck battery (which is a great buy if you own an AEG) my ROF was boosted to about 1200-1250rpm. This thing has an insane rate of fire, which makes it wonderful for close engagements. Personally, i prefer to use it in cqb as it is relatively short. I wouldn't recommend using it in wide open field play, but for engagements between 100-150 feet it will preform perfectly.

Shorty says the FPS is around 350 with a .2, but when i chronoed it i was getting around 375. I only use .25's now to keep my fps down for cqb fields. .25's also boost the range a little bit but nothing drastic. I currently get about 340-345 with .25's.

Overall, this gun is super, just really fantastic. It's a wonderful replica of the real steel rifle and is completely customizable. If you've got some money to spend, I would definitely recommend this bad boy. It won't disappoint. Buy one now!

Quick side note: For those of you on a budget, why not try the Echo 1 ASC? It's a great gun with an affordable price tag which I have owned for quite some time now. It has never let me down, and it's something different and great looking. Just an idea.

I have only ever used this pistol on propane, so these are the results I have had with it. I will probably update later on with my results on Duster.

This is easily the most comfortable handgun ever made (the real-steel version I mean). The ergonomics are outstanding, and you could shoot it all day. The airsoft version is no different. The sights are great, and it feels excellent in your hand.

Once you get to shooting:

I would agree that on propane it behaves erratically at times. The kick is sometimes too strong for the slide release to catch the slide, so pay attention when you're shooting, or you may find yourself shooting air instead of bb's.

On propane, this thing kicks like a mule on speed. It feels outstanding. It's also very loud and intimidating, which is a plus when you're shooting the neighborhood kids in a war, but in a proper airsoft game you may want something a little quieter.

It took me a long time to dial in the hop-up, and once I got it down it still took about 100 rounds to steady up. DO NOT LOSE THE HOP-UP ADJUSTMENT SCREW. I did, and it took me three weeks to get a replacement from Umarex. I love the guys, but they don't have the most knowledgeable service department.

A note on durability:
I've been using propane, and as I said, it doesn't always lock the slide. The slide-release has been going up partially while the slide is trying to lock, but it rebounds too soon. As a result, the cut-out on the slide where the slide-release catches has become slightly worn. This has no performance related issue, but it does mean that when there is no empty magazine in the gun, and the slide is locked, it only takes a slight movement to make the slide go forward again. This isn't a problem, so much as a very minor inconvenience, and was bound to happen sometime as the gun is made of plastic.

Pros:
Feels truly amazing
Shoots very well
-Consistent
-Powerful
-Accurate
Looks incredible
Makes you feel like James Bond
Kicks like a mule
Good capacity
Very efficient (1 or 2 full mags, certainly 1 on a propane fill)
Extended magazines are available if you know where to look

Cons:
Plastic, although still hefty
Umarex doesn't have awesome service
only a 60 day warranty
To adjust hop-up the gun must be taken down. This can become tedious while you dial it in.
Magazines are outrageously expensive

Definitely worth having for the player or collector.

I've had this gun for a month or so, and haven't had the time to put a huge amount of ammo through it, but here are my thoughts so far:

Out of the box:
-Looks absolutely terrific. The OD grips are beautiful, and the whole thing has an awesome finish to it. I suspect it will start to wear a little as I use it more, but I like a battle-worn look, so I'm not worried. The same happened with my various WE-Tech 1911's
-Feels unbelievable. I personally believe there is no more comfortable handgun than the Walther P99, but this is very close. The grip is fatter than a standard 1911 due to the double-stack magazine, and even if your hands aren't monstrous (mine certainly aren't) I'm sure you'll find a very comfortable grip.

Putting rounds through it:
-The first thing I noticed when I went to shoot it is how fast target acquisition is. I've never held a gun that fit so perfectly that you could just point and shoot. As soon as you bring the gun up your sights are lined up just right. I was very impressed
-Hop-up is tedious to adjust, but then you really only have to do it once
-Large magazine capacity is great, but I bought a spare anyway. Always good to have. I don't know what Canadian Sniper is on about with the low mag cap. For a pistol, 30 rounds is pretty excellent.
-Shoots very straight, even over longer ranges. I'm not saying you'll hit your target 200 feet away. What I am saying is, if you shoot at your target 200 feet away, the bb will be in a straight line to it. That being said, I've had no trouble with targets 75 feet away. If you crank up the hop-up and go for .23's as opposed to .2's, wind will be less of a factor as well.

Overall:

Pros:
Looks great
Feels great
Shoots straight
Consistent hop-up unit
Awesome sights and target acquisition
High mag cap
Efficient enough to go through a magazine with one propane fill-up (at least)
Adjustable trigger sensitivity
Adjustable sights (not necessary for mine)
Has a rail for flashlights/lasers for night games

Cons:
Hop-up adjustment requires take-down, which is tedious
Magazine butt-plate is a little bit loose, which does not inspire confidence when inserting magazine. It is replaceable/removable, however.

Before I hit all the details, this gun is really a great system. Definitely in my Top Picks for CQB rifles.

Pro-
Welded Iron Sights- no possibbility of breaking off (under normal circumstance)
Full Stock- just something i prefer
Internals- They're spot on! The article says enough
Pneumatic Blowback- doesn't slow down the piston (hook & tow for example)
Full Metal Reciver- worth the extra $120, gives a great feel to the weapon
Metal Mag- this mag is probably the quietest hi-cap i've ever used
Extra Flash Hider- looks awesome

Cons-
No optics mount- gotta purchase it seperately. Doesn't bother me at all, but listed as a con because some may be slightly irritated
It only comes with one mag
Fire select switch- yes it's ambidexterous and true to the real rifle specs, but when switched to Full Auto, it almost feels like it turns off axis.

Overal- again an amazing rifle, probably my #1 or #2 indoor rifle]]> November 03, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2816

I called this rifle 'Horrace'.

The first rifle I'd ever owned. Sporting-Good-Store-Failure #1. Ah, the nostalgia kicks in...

Nonetheless, shorty makes a good point in that this isn't, by ANY means, a competing rifle. This isn't even an entry level rifle. If I gave this as a 'gift' to someone, I could quite possibly ruin the sport of airsoft for them.

But anyway, this rifle is labeled to be for knocking down cans (at distances -10ft) or generally just screwing around with. But I wouldn't humiliate a can of diet cherry vanilla doctor pepper (which is, indeed, the best tasting soda in all the land) by wasting the last of its' usefulness by putting dents in it at point blank range with this disaster. Nor would I make what I'm sure is one of the deepest insults to a child just getting into airsoft by relegating them to play with this. A more effective method of combat could possibly be to throw the BB, or perhaps even run up to your attacker and tag him with it. Oh, I think I invented a new game.

In short

I had been running with either an asr or an mp5 and needed something sort of in between. After weeks of research, this is the one i went with, and it has proven to be a great decision. This gun shoot crazy hard and fast and has a great distance. It's great! It's also a good weight, not too heavy and not too light. It also seems to be fairly durable. The only things i don't really care for are the Foregrip and the mag is sometimes hard to load and can get caught funny if not loaded correctly. Other then those two things, i highly recommend this to either a novice or an experienced player. ]]> November 02, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1639

This is one of those airsoft guns that you should only buy to put on a shelf and look at, for two reasons. First of all, it only holds 1 round per shell, that's 6 total. Second, the grip is a nice plastic, the rest of the gun is solid steel, EXCEPT the most important part. The pin that pierces the co2 cartridge is definitely not steel. I believe it is some kind of fortified aluminum. But it will eventually bend inward. Which is what mine, a friend's, and my cousin's did, so I know mine is not defective. Anyway here are some pros and cons.

---pros---
looks cool
nice and heavy (I like my guns heavy)
decent fps

---cons---
poor quality pin
24 round shell system not compatible

One thing I DO like about this gun however, is how easy it is to disassemble and reassemble. All you have to do is take out a few screws and a plate comes off to reveal the full internals. The mechanism is actually very simple. I took mine apart, cleaned and lubed it, and put it back together again in under 5 minutes. And successfully fired it afterward (key part lol).

All in all if you know how/know someone that can't change out the pin for a better one definitely buy this gun. If you don't, and you're not a collector, this is basically a waste of your 100 dollars.

You could buy it, you may love it, if you do shoot the s**t outa' someone with it.

This is an amazing gun, I have both the KJW version and this one. However this one far surpasses the other. 410 fps is very nice. There's something about the barrel that I really like, I just don't know what lol. If you're going to buy this gun get a hard case though.

---Pros---
FPS
Price
Looks
Propane (co2 sucks)

---Cons---
Unless you want to piss people off, don't use .2 gram bbs

Since this gun throws bbs at 410, not only will you get better accuracy with .23 or .25, but this thing hurts like s**t if you get shot with it closer than 50ft.

Buy it, love it, shoot the s**t outa' someone with it.

I love this thing. It's perfect. The way the brightness continuously dims instead of having 5 distinct settings really does help a lot. The red/green is also a nice thing to have. A lot of people say this is a pricey sight, but it really isn't. And you certainly get what you pay for. It is very high quality, high enough to use on a real gun (I've used this on my uncle's m16 and it worked perfectly).

Like shorty says, red is better for day and green is better for night/low light. This is because red is a brighter color than green, and the red is too bright for low light situations. Where as the green is a more dimmed color and will not be too bright. However, I find the red will also work very well in the dark on its lowest setting if you prefer red over green.

It also comes with flip-up lens covers and has a sunshade to block the glare. I have found the sunshade especially helpful. With past reflex sights, the sun has always been a problem for me. This sight solved the problem perfectly.

---Pros---
Flip-up lens covers
sunshade
red/green
intensity adjustment system
34mm lens (big for a red dot)
comes with two batteries
price

---Cons---
The piece that holds the battery in place can break easily (read below for how to fix).

Inside the piece that comes off of the intensity adjustment nob, are 6 metal things that stick out which hold the battery in place. These break off easily as hell. So when they do eventually break for you, take a piece of a note-card, fold it up, and stick it in between the battery and the piece to keep the battery in place. In all honesty I think it actually works better with the paper vs the metal things because the battery is held in better.
THE SIGHT WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY IF THE BATTERY IS NOT FIRMLY IN PLACE. The red will function semi normally, but if the green dot seems to be acting funny make sure the battery is securely in place. On occasion it will loosen up.

Buy it, love it, shoot the s**t outa' someone with it.

Ok these goggles seem all fine and dandy on first inspection and they will work for the average back yard air-softer kind of. If you plan on going to any big matches at all at any fields you WILL NOT be allowed to play. 90% of the fields and any that are associated to an airsoft association, which is most, REQUIRE ANSI Z.87-1 rating which is a safety rating similar to that of safety glasses for shops but fields also require Full seal which these are but they are not safety rated. Just a food for thought.]]> October 25, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=871

This is a great gun. It's accurate and the clip holds a lot. This is very powerful too. It is all plastic and no metal. But it's good for a secondary or backup gun. It's a really good gun but don't buy it as a primary gun. But in a nutshell this gun is great.]]> October 25, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1987

this gun not only hurts like hell but is full metal, shoots really fast, is durable, the battery is very good and it's almost flawless. It would send people running for the hills. For some reason i would always get ak-47s but when i seen this it beat them all. (And by the way ak 47s are not the best airsoft guns. M4/16s are better)


Pros
battery, durable, built amazing, fps, rpm, the mag is really good and charges in a good amount of time


cons
sometimes not sure if the battery was low but it wouldn't shoot on semi after a while then you would have to switch back to full but believe me it's not a biggy.]]> October 24, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1800

I got this weapon from shorty years ago. It shoots amazingly fast and it is very realistic, also it has quite an intimidation factor for its a mac 11 and it makes a TON of noise. It can launch its whole 50 round mag in a small bit over a second and it is more accurate than expected but the range is not the best. Mine jams after it gets too cold so i wouldn't advise using it in conditions under 45ish. Over all a great gun and worth every penny, if it fits your arsenal get it for sure.]]> October 24, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2161

Before I got my first airsoft gun a couple years ago, I always read that guns with higher FPS should have heavier BB's and also that you get better accuracy and range. So I've always used .25g BB's. And compared to my friend's much cheaper guns and their non-high quality .2g BB's, my MP44 and its 450fps is no doubt the best. It has much more range and accuracy.

I have used 3 different brands of .25g BB's over the years. KSC, BIOVAL, and ECHO 1. To me, the quality and performance of each brand is the same. And out of every single BB from all those brands that I've ever shot, I have never had a single jam. But then again, they're all high quality BB's. I have a nice high quality gun, and I clean the barrel before and after every airsoft war.

But these BB's are better in a different way that has nothing to do with quality and performance. These BB's are cheaper! You can get a lot more BB's with the same quality and performance of any other brand for the same price!!! So I highly recommend these BB's to anybody any day.

Thanks for reading and I hope this helped you! Please rate as helpful!!! Thank You!!!]]> October 24, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=988

This gun sucks. My brother bought this gun and I've used it a few times. 280 fps... Are you kidding me? Weakkkkkk. I shot my brother on FULL AUTO from 30 feet with this and he didn't even care. He thought I had put like .38 gram bbs in it.

---Pros---
Full metal
RPM is ok...

---Cons---
Everything else

All in all for 200 dollars? I don't think so. Don't buy this gun. You will be disappointed. ]]> October 23, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1785

I love this gun, both me and my friend have one so either of us can use the other person's m9 and go rambo with two. Believe me it's really fun doing that. Anyway here are some pros and cons

---Pros---
Looks sick
great power
full auto/burst modes
price
weight
front grip

---Cons---
Hard to fit in a holster

People look at this and say 160 dollars is too much. But for the fun you get in using this, 160 dollars is not a high price to pay. With a little messing around you can get it to fit in a holster. It just takes some adjusting.

One game my friend let me use his, so I strapped on a lefty holster and geared up with two of these guns, a spare mag for each, and a QCB m4 (yes I'm obsessed with m4s and m16s, you'll never catch me in a battle without one). I was about to shoot a guy, and I pulled the trigger only to find that my battery was dead, and he spotted me. I dropped my gun, pulled out two of these and let me tell you there's nothing scarier than having a guy point dual m9s at you on full auto. So here I am, arms extended, each hand holding a machine pistol, the poor guy didn't know whether to surrender or run lmfao. I decided to just unload the clips on him anyway. There's no better feeling than firing dual m9s on full auto (except dancing with/kissing a girl)

Well there you have it. Best sidearm ever made. Buy it, love it, blow the s**t out of someone with it.

---WARNING LONG REVIEW------
Alright, so about the gun, I first got this yesterday, and by the look, feel, and well, feeling I had about this gun, I knew this would definitely help me when I'm SOL on the field. Lemme just start off by saying, Yes, the gun has some problems, but you get what you pay for.
---PROS---
-Good, solid, feel.
-The face you get when you're told it's all plastic
-Definitely a reliable side-arm.
-The clip that comes with it can hold 15 BB's, which is pretty good for a Spring in my opinion.
---CONS---
-The magazine is hard to put in at first, but not really, you'll get used to it fast.
-When you first shoot this gun, the BB's curve everywhere.
-I can literally see inside the gun from behind the hammer.
-The safety catch is hard to switch with one finger, so I had to use my other hand to do it.
-The trigger is literally lop-sided, and the mechanism is sorta just there, which I know that isn't right.
--------------
I would definitely get another clip for it, just in case.
This is a good gun for the price range, but in terms of everything else... It's a 8/10.

My friend owns this gun, and i would say it is a great gun FOR STARTERS! if you're thinking about going into a battle with L96's and SCARS, think again. this is a gun for target shooting in close range, or a FRIENDLY airsoft battle. it hits hard, if you can hit it, that is. it is not accurate at all with .12 bb's. you won't be able to hit a 2X4 from 20-30 feet.

But it is a good deal, just don't go into intense battles and you'll be good!]]> October 22, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1637

ok so i ordered this 2 days ago it has arrived and wow i am impressed. when i got the box i'm like dang this is light so i go inside and i open it and i see the beastest gun i have ever seen. the weight was just right, the detail was great, and almost all of the gun was metal. the one down side was the manual didn't help at putting on the rails and the tool they provided didn't seem to work but 'o well who wants to have a giant scope on a revolver.
so pros and cons...

pros
weight- awesome feel
all metal
nice fps i mean my friends said they could hear the sound of my gun a block over
the smooth action- no sticking
the paint job- no scratches or dings and this is a thing to be afraid of


cons
it's a bit hard to aim but for the position i play i won't have to(i'm a sniper)
the grip comes apart a lot but 'o well
gas is a bit on the greedy side but still you won't have to change it a lot
some may say 6 shots is small but come on who wants a revolver that has a 5 inch cylinder. not me.


the thing that angers me the most
the next person who complains how small 6 shots is, i will go to their house and shoot them with all 5 of my revolvers. 6 shots may be small but come on it's a revolver, it's not a primary gun. you're going to be using this as a side arm not primary.


over all good gun if you have the money.

I just purchased one of these from shorty. No question it is a nice gun and solidly constructed. It has a nice distinctive pop when you fire it and it seems very accurate. ...

Another interesting thing is that the box says that it comes with KA 2000mAh 9.6V Twins Type battery. Shorty's site says it comes with the 8.4v 1100mah battery pack. It actually comes with the battery listed on Shorty's site and not the one listed on the box. I kind of wonder if maybe Shorty opens the box and puts in a better spring and a lessor battery. I have sent an email to Shorty asking about this, and will update my review when I find out what they have to say. Shorty is supposed to be the best so let's see what they come back with.]]> October 21, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=1273

Yes these magazines have been rather pitiful for me. I'm half of a sniper spotter pair, when I spot I use this. These magazines rattle with even the slightest movement in any direction. Also after you have shot for a very little time on rock-n-roll you have to wind the magazine. In fact I've let a couple of my friends use my gun and it seems they spend more time winding magazines than shooting the gun. Overall I would never buy a single one of these again. Mechanically they have never failed on me but strategically they will get you every time.]]> October 21, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=2074

Great magazine, doesn't rattle like High Cap magazines. I've dropped mine a couple of times on concrete in the heat of battle, have a scratch in the paint on one of them. Unfortunately there are only 100 bbs in these magazines so if you're the kind of person that gets squirrelly and can't control their trigger finger while they've got the gun set to rock-n-roll you need a bunch of them or someone to be loading for you. Overall great magazines. I'm glad I spent my hard earned money.]]> October 21, 2011 http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/viewitem.html?II=953

This vest is rather good, it is pretty expensive but if you're gonna have a primary, a secondary, and a pistol, it is a must have. I have a M14 that I use the large pouches for, if you're gonna use the pouches for M14 mags I recommend using the socom mags and taping them together just so your magazine doesn't fall down into the bottom of your pocket. Also, the flaps for the pockets get in the way and the velcro that seems to be everywhere on this vest is very loud when you're trying to be stealthy. If you're a smaller stature person such as I am the pistol belt is very large but then again that is better than being too small. Also the vest is nearly too tall from the top of the shoulders to the pistol belt. There is a dowel or something that was put into the pad for your shoulder which gets in the way for my fitting the gun into my shoulder. This is probably because of my size, as my positioning of the gun in my shoulder is correct(I am active in competitions outside of airsoft). Also the pad grips the butt of the gun rather well which is nice for maintaining a sight picture while moving but if you change positions you have to pull the gun all the way away from your shoulder. Overall it is a pretty good vest, I'm glad I bought it, I carry a M324, M14, and 2 1911s, works great for me.

Hi. I buy a lot of airsoft handguns off of shortyusa and so far THIS is one of the best. This means a lot considering that I have 5 other handguns. I really wanted the sig for its small and slick design, so I went ahead and got this gun. The gun is full metal except for the gas valve and the pistol grips, so it has nice weight for a small pistol(about 3 lbs). This version has a threaded barrel which is great if you want to put a mock silencer or tracer (which I recommend, however it will scrape the orange paint off of the barrel.) I usually don't like to buy kjw guns because I don't like the quality compared to my kwa ones, but this gun comes pretty close to being just as good. Out of the box this gun fired 335-345 with .25 bbs, which is not bad. the only downside to this gun is that it has no safety! however it has a de-cocker which is very useful. overall it's an awesome gun.

Pros:
cool and small
comfortable to hold
rails
threaded barrel
good mag cap
sturdy
de-cocking system
nice sights

Cons:
no safety
mag doesn't lock down for loading bbs (like on a kwa pistol)
mags are expensive for their quality (30.00)

Please rate Thanks,

Mike
