Airsoft Core |

Well this my first review, we’ll see how it goes…
Ok so I ordered this Mac 10 off of AirsoftAtlanta.com for my little brother, who is 10. It cost him like 50 bucks including shipping, but took its time getting here. Oh well, its here now.
First Impressions:
I opened the box to find no instructions. Whatever, how hard can it be? I took everything out of the styrofome and attached the silencer to the barrel...looked pretty cool.
I put in the clip, (which doesnt store bbs, it is the battery) and pulled out the stock. I felt like a true gangsta! Haha just kidding, but it really was pretty cool.
It had a fairly nice weight, although made completely of plastic. With the mag (battery) and silencer, it was WAY, let my emphasize WAY better-made than the minis. It was also quite a bit larger. If you take a look at the pictures, you can see even in looks this way out-does a mini.
Then I found the top compartment where the bbs go.
I went outside and filled up the compartment. It held maybe 50-100 in there. As I took the safety off, I closed the top sliding door to the bb cavity. Time for the fun, right? Wrong. I pressed the trigger. Nothing. In all of my excitement, i had forgot to charge the battery!!
I went back inside and plugged the charger into the wall, and the cord into the battery, a.k.a the clip. Then I went down to play halo on my Xbox for an hour or so...
Function:
Ok so I kicked butt in halo...anyway I went upstairs and unplugged the magazine. I went outside, this time intent on actually firing the gun. Off went the safety, in went the battery. I pressed the trigger and the bbs started spitting out, but not as fast as I had expected. The sound was fairly high-pitched, but more tolerable than those minis. After about 15 seconds of on-and-off full auto fire, the bbs were all gone. I decided to try out the hopper. It looks like one of those bbs containers with a quick-load spout, but the spout part has a hole in the top, and has the ribbed outside so that it can screw into the plastic clamp that attaches to the top of the gun.
I loaded the container with bbs (at least 500, maybe 800) and started firing...it was fun, but it had such a short range. For more than maybe 50 or 60 feet i actually had to slightly tilt the gun barrel upwards for the bbs to reach the target. Also, every 10 shots or so it would dry fire; got kinda irritating, I would pop up to shoot at an enemy that was running and hear the rat tat tat of the gun firing away but no bbs would come out for a few seconds. After that however, the bbs came out at like 4-5 bbs per second. Hell, you don’t really have to aim with that thing! Not too bad for a gun in the upper end of the mini class. Definitely worth the few extra bucks instead of a mini. Since for the moment I’m only engaged in springer wars in my back yard, which is about 100' X 100' or so, this gun is excellent for close range support fire or cover fire. Although in combat it really does require the hopper, this gun looks great as a wall piece for a collection, is fully auto and beats any other mini by a LONG shot, and although more expensive, is worth the extra money.
Conclusion:
All in all, this gun will function well and will be a large advantage in springer wars, or just CQB/backyard skirmishes. Although technically in the mini category, it out shoots it by far, can hold more bbs, is better quality, and is a full sized Mac 10. It looks awesome, is excellent for cover fire, spraying an area, or intimidating someone with a springer by hosing down their cover with bbs.
For the money, I would say a great addition to a spring gun(s) arsenal. It can definitely compete with most spring pistols, but is best being used to give team members cover fire or making quite a large distraction. I would recommend this awesome looking gun to any airsofter wishing to spice up the neighborhood springer game, or someone who just wants a cool looking gun.
