Great quality - well built,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I was pleasantly surprised when this gun arrived. Not only did it arrive in a timely manner (about a week from ordering), but the quality of the gun is outstanding and makes this gun a great value for the money. I bought three guns at the same time from three different price ranges - a spring single shot for about $40, an electric automatic for about $80, and this electric automatic for about $150.
The $40 gun was all plastic, light, very small capacity, poorly fitted parts, and only single shot after pulling the charging handle back each time. It was about what you'd expect for $10.
The $80 gun was cheaply made, plastic, and literally broke in the first 5 minutes I had it (metal bracket broke off the plastic stock - and I didn't even have the shoulder strap attached to it yet).
This $150 gun from UTG kicks a**. It arrived charged, it is well made - metal and wood. If it weren't for the orange tip this thing could be the real thing. I holds a...Read more

1800 rounds and so far...,

so good.
The gun cycled perfectly and worked well. 1800 rounds so far and no issues with the gun to speak of. It's benchmarking at 240fps with .20g bullets. I'd like more, but I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible. Maybe a tight bore barrel? The battery it came with is 8.4v and 1800mah, and lasted the entire game without recharging. The magazine floorplates required tighning with a screwdriver at home. Otherwise the gun is well done. At the end, however, the mag springs began to unspool inside, I can't figure if this was because the mags were nearing empty or what. I removed the fruity little tri rail from the reciever first thing, but I can't sight the gun because of the mask I was wearing. I might putit back on with a cheap red dot.
Overall: for $139, I would recommend it for a first gun.

Now THIS is quality,

This gun has got to be the absolute best gun in it's class. I've reviewed plenty of cheap AK-47's made by CYMA. They call thier guns "the next step down from Tokyo Mauri." That's just a big lie. Well this gun is actually the next step down from a Tokyo Mauri but at a cheaper price. Now, I'll be honest, this gun does not quite meet the quality of a Tokyo Mauri. The difference between them, however, is almost non-existent. This is a great alternative gun if you can't afford to dish out hundreds of dollars that a Mauri would cost (however, I do recommend getting a Mauri if you can afford it). UTG is a quality airsoft manufacturer
