"This gun is expensive, but after shooting a few hundred BBs, feels worth it. I have a M9A1 AEP from another brand and this feels much better in quality, accuracy and consistency. The details on the pistol are exquisite and make it look highly realistic.
More importantly, it shoots absolutely great. First shot using 0.25 BB at a 5in target 50ft away hit dead center of the target. Subsequent shots hit about 1 to 2 in from the first, extremely consistent and with zero flyers. Equally important, the sights are dead-on and it shoots much quieter and more accurate than my full metal M9 GBB pistol that cost almost as much. Using 0.20 BBs result in much wider grouping at 50 feet. And, with a LiPo battery the pistol can shoot 15 to 16 rounds a second (at 220 FPS) in full auto mode. Fun.
Expensive, yes. But I would not have bought any of my other pistols (including many springers), which together cost more than twice this pistol, if I had bought this one first. What it gives up in FPS and range it makes up for in extreme accuracy, consistency, high magazine capacity (30, with 100rd available), battery capacity that last more than 600 rounds, and low maintenance (no silicon oil and green gas). It is a great compliment to my M14 AEG and L96 sniper rifle.
