I bought this gun this summer in June, 2006, with money from my grandparents who came briefly here in America from Japan. I bought this gun from Airsoft Arms, around 430 with a large battery and 5000 .2 gram BBs.

This is the box, which had Styrofoam packing, Classic Army’s 2006 product catalog, Manual, papers concerning battery, a couple of paper targets, un-jamming/cleaning rod, rail covers and the gun. The gun wasn’t harmed at all, so I was pleased.

The cocking lever

The external parts were really solid, concerning the fact that most of the gun is metal, except for the rail covers, grip, and the stock. The cocking mechanism was really crisp and pulling the cocking lever back reveals the hop-up.

The hop-up

The hop-up works great, simply just dials to change the hop-up.

The Magazine:

The gun’s magazine is a metal hi-capacity G3 magazine that approximately holds 500 rounds. The hi-capacity magazine’s feeding mechanism is good; I have only had one problem with it, and it is because the wheel was wound too many times, and got stuck. I fixed the problem in less than a minute, just get a pencil or a small stick of any kind, and poke inside the reservoir. It unwound, and the jam was fixed. The G3 Hi-capacity magazine also feeds backward, not forward like STANAG magazines that feed forward (Basically, you wind the G3 hi-cap to your body, not away from your body like STANAG magazines). This is easier for me to wind, and it should be easier to you, since it’s a little more awkward to feed away from my body.

RAS System

Pictured above is the RAS System, (side of the RAS not seen due to Rail Cover). It is full metal which invites many accessories that are intended for this part.

Battery Compartment:

Mentioned above, I bought a 8.4v 3300 mAH battery along with my gun. The battery fits flush with the stock compartment, and I haven’t tried a 9.6v battery yet. The connectors are large connectors, and wires are 16 AWG.

Performance:

The gun can really go out and hit somebody at least 100 feet away. Playing a couple of friends in a backyard skirmish, the gun was really loud on full-auto. With the 280mm inner barrel, the gun still goes really far, farther than my Tokyo Marui M733. It is a heavy gun, so I’d recommend getting a sling after playing a bit. The stock sights on the gun were just as accurate as using a Red Dot Scope (well it’s supposed to be accurate!), so incase your scope lens shatter from a high-power BB, then you can always trust the sights.

Stock, this gun is fine. Perfectly fine. The M41 has reinforced Classic Army parts inside a V2 gearbox (I think), and shoots around 310-320 FPS with a .20 gram BB. The Rate of Fire was incredible to me comparing with my Tokyo Marui M733. It was about 16-20 RPS ( I don’t know, I might be exaggerating), but it was really fast, which induced the loud noises from the gun.

Accuracy is fair enough to me. I don’t know about you, but this isn’t a gun that could be made into a “sniping system”. It’s a G3 variant (well sort of…), and the G3 is a weapon for riflemen. The barrel isn’t long enough either for that, so I’d stick a Madbull or whatever grenade launcher you like onto the RIS and play a rifleman/grenadier role. Accuracy isn’t a problem, so long as you can hit a man-sized target, you’re fine.

Reasons you would want this gun:

-You hate the people with M4’s or AK’s and/or you want a different gun than the M4 or the AK

-You want a different gun in your airsoft collection

-You have the money, and this looks like a cool gun to have

-You are a fan of G3’s

-You like the G3 series, but you wanted one with a RAS that butchers the gun.

Cons of why you wouldn’t want this gun:

-Look at it! It’s a G3 with an RAS! Ugly!

-You don’t like the short barrel.

-It’s an abomination of H&K guns and the G3.

-For the price, you can get another gun that is popular.

-You don’t like the looks of it and would stick with a gun like the Classic Army M15 CQB

To sum it up:

-Good accuracy; It can hit man-sized targets at around 100 feet.

-For the price it is well-made and shoots well.

Get this gun if you like G3’s, tired of the old Tokyo Marui M4 or any other AEG that is popular, and would like a RAS to come along with the gun.

This concludes the end of the review.
