Mp5 Aftermath Lycaon

1) Manufacturer, Model Name (name of weapon on box, and weapon replicated if different from model name)
-Aftermath/Cyma, Lycaon, Mp 5
2) Date Obtained
-May 2008
3) Initial Cost
-$172CAD shipped
4) New or Used
-New
5) Mechanical Problems (Gearbox issues, hopup issues.. basically functional performance related -- supply date of issue)
-Coughed out 1 BB then died. Opened the mechbox with the help of a local gun tech and found that the sear had snapped and gotten into the gears. Gears were in need of shim and were VERY lose. Shimmed gears and gun would fire on full auto (no sear) but would slowly stop firing. Checked and found that the fuse was unshielded. Used and extra fuse chamber and the gun now fires.
6) Esthetic Problems (Paint damage, cracks in body, loose parts.. physical construction related -- supply date of issue)
-the 'metal' for the stock is actually 'faux' metal. It looks like a real metal and has the weight of a real metal but has the properties of a plastic- it snaps if you are not careful with it.
7) Rounds fired between failures (think how many bags of BB's used before it failed. If no failure, list rounds fired up to this point)
- 1 single BB
8) Changes to Internals and Externals (upgrades, mods, dates)
-none though it looks to be nearly 100% compatible with other MP5s
9) Resale Date and Value if applicable.
-n/a
10)Notes and Comments (Optional)- Although the cheaper clones are attractive new guns they are almost exclusively for people who want to learn how to fix a gun. In fact I would suggest that the first thing you do with any Cyma or Jing Gong is open it up and make sure it wasnt 'made on a friday'

**edit - will not easily take the Crosman R72 MP5 full stock, very tight fit
