First Impressions:
WOW! After getting home from the long drive from Plycons Armory, I immediately took out the batteries, and put them on the charger, wait they don’t fit dammit! The owner was kind enough to take the batteries back, AND give me two packs of Tokyo Marui 0.25 bb’s. Anyways on with the review. Opening the box (very small), I pulled out the gun and attempted to get the stock out, finally I got it out. I started checking out all the cool feature, folding finger guard, mag clamping, rotatable sights, R.I.S. rails, and the folding stock (which I wish they would have made solid instead of folding, never use it…
The Gun:
The main reciever is of good quality along with the stock but when you get to the fore-grip its an entirely different story, it is made of the cheapest possible plastic, and slowly cracks on the top overtime. The RIS rails are also plastic. Though the main body is very solid and sratch resistant. Also note the fact that holding the gun is very comfortabel, unlike the uncorved sock of the M4, the SIG has a reciol curved pad, that easily curevs to the shoulder, along with the grip, that is verycurved but feels very natural in the hand. Between the main body and fore-grip is also a small space enough to fit a small sized or medium sized non gloved hand, so you dont need to hold it by the RIS, or the fragile mag.
Performance:
After getting my correct batteries, on Super bowl Sunday I reeked havoc in my back yard with this thing’s RoF, at first it seemed great, then after the motor wore in it now is like a regular AEG. FPS chronos at about 284. This is a very small gun with the stock folded in, but it as practically useless, and gets in the way of the mag clamps. This gun is very comfortable, great stock, which is good for running. Performs just as any stock Marui. Accuracy is excellent for a 247mm barrel. After upgrading the gun with an M4 tightboe and PDI150% it clocks around an average of 400fps which is higher than I excepted. The upgraded accuracy is on par with other mid ranged weapons.
Unsuspected Extra:
What’s this? Oh its TM’s new loader, way faster than the tube AI used to use. It is very innovative in design, I believe TM will be replacing the loading tubes with these. This is a pistol magazine shape, so finding a spot in your vest is easy. Just our the bb’s in the top like a hi-cap, put in your standard or mid-cap and load in a snap.
A little extra:
There are many features on this gun that aren’t on other guns. No I am not talking about the burst feature away with it!
The finger guard folds in nicely for winter games, when you are wearing gloves, not like we have winter in Florida though.
The Magazines also clamp together without a magazine clamp. Only the SG-552 and G36c can do this.
Two R.I.S. rails for mounting any useless accessories you desire.
Folding stock that is useless, but when out it is very comfortable, and nice to grip.
Adjusting sights, eight different combinations.
Interesting mags, clear hi-caps and fake bullet standards that don’t feed well.
Accessories:
There is a plethora of accessories for this gun, inlcuding cheek rests, flashlights, lasers, silencers, metal bodies, and reinforced gearboxes. Personally I see most of these useless. I have upgraded internals and a simple silencer to store the extended barrel. Scope mounts would also be nice, as I plan to mount an optic, but a cheek rest is just pushing it.
Overall:
This gun get a 7/0 instead of a 10 due to the small battery capacity, and low ammo capacity. It is excellent as an upgrading platform to turn into mid-range (which I have done), or just as a kick ass CQB weapon. It was many extras including a nice speed loader, and I actually prefer it over my older AUG. The fore-grip is also very cheap, and the mags have a bad tendancy to drop, and the standards jam. I am not like the other reviewrs handing out points just because its an AEG, this would be as compared to the standard setting fullly tuned metal bodied AEG.
