I just finally got mine today... My first impressions:
- The build is VERY sturdy. Zero creak or wobble ANYWHERE
- Bolt is easy to rack
- Shouldering it is very natural, with a good sight picture
- Weight balance is extremely good. The weapon is very nice to handle and easy to swing around
- Total weight is not overly heavy, but not so light as to feel like a cheap toy
- The safety lever popped right out when pushed too far. It was annoying to get it popped back in... that was quite annoying. I'd rather not have to do it again, so I can only recommend being careful not to push the button too far out. As an additional note, the gun DID function fine without the safety lever installed. LOL.
- Firing test: HO-LEE CRRRRRRAP! This thing is extremely powerful, accurate, and LOUD. First test was dry firing, and it made an extremely loud and satisfying *POP*POP*POP* each time I pulled the trigger. Cycling speed was also phenomenal. Light weight trigger pull, fast bolt cycling time makes this a very fast response weapon.
- Next test was at range. Setting up a target 30 feet away, I was getting a grouping the size of a quarter with 0.25g BB's. This is EXTREMELY impressive. I only wish I had a longer test range to see what the furthest accurate range would be.
- Final test was velocity... DAMN. This thing shoots INSANELY HARD. The first shot out of the mag, was 422fps... with 0.25g BBs! Keep in mind, this was after already shooting about 30 rounds through the mag, so the gas wasn't even full at this point. The equivalent value of this power at 0.20g BB's is 471fps!
I did notice, that each succeeding shot dropped quite significantly after. I'd like to do a more conclusive test later on down the road with a freshly charged mag to see how consistent shot-to-shot velocities are for the entire mag. My hope is that they're tight enough that the gun can be used as a DMR platform, because the fast responding trigger, high power and long range accuracy could yield the perfect GBB DMR platform.
