This AEG is quite a lot different from every other AEG out there. Firstly is its size. As far as I know, only the m60 and m249 series come close to it in size and weight. And with the 12v 3000mah battery I have in there (in a battery bag on the side of the stock that is) it’s a monster (sorry no weight specs right now). Its got to be a good 12-15lbs, which doesn’t sound like a lot... but with ghillie suit and all, my out of shape ass is tired at the end of a long day of 'Softing. It’s also very long (the longest of any stock AEG that I know of), add that to the weight, and you have a very cumbersome weapon at times. Another major and obvious difference is the fact that it ONLY comes in semi-auto mode, which means you can upgrade all you like, but you cant down covering fire for people =) And with the 500rnd g3 hi-caps that it uses sometimes that’s something you just want to do. Course as a sniper that’s not your job anyway.... Probably the least obvious but one of the most important uniqueness of the gun is that fact that its spring compression is backwards of all other AEGs. In all other AEGs the spring is decompressed at all times, until you pull the trigger, at which time the spring compresses, then decompresses and fires a round. In the PSG-1, the spring is decompresses when you first pick it up also. The difference is that to load the first round, you actually have to pull the thingying handle down, which loads a round AND compresses the spring. The spring then stays compressed until you pull the trigger. Then it decompresses, fires a round, and recompresses again in anticipation of the next shot. Two problems with this. First, if you forget to decompress the spring at then of the day, and you leave it that way, you can seriously weaken your spring, thus making your gun shoot with less power. (That’s a bad thing by the way....) Second, it makes it hard to shoot rapid fire, because if the trigger isn’t fully depressed and then fully released with each shot, the spring will not compress all the way, and you just hear funny noises coming from your gear box as you give yourself away and get shot up. Both those problems are easily solved if you keep in mind that you have to pull and release completely between shots, and you have to decompress your spring (via the little spring decompressor lever right up next to the trigger).
About power and accuracy. Stock the gun shoots about 310 fps with .20g BBs. I personally bought mine upgraded with the special gear set from systema, a 200% spring, and a new piston head, so I’m not sure what It shoots like stock, but I can get mine to shoot about 370fps with .30g bbs. Its not the best power for a sniper rifle (most would laugh at me for it) but it kicks them out there quite well and is great for the medium range sniping that we do at the fields we play at (lots of fairly dense brush in most places). More power than that would just end up hurting people, and we don’t want to hurt them (much *evil grin*). I have a stock inner barrel in there, but it at max effective range (I'd say about 150-200 feet, thought that’s probably pushing it) (and assuming there is no wind or anything) I can hit a man sized target in the chest about 80% of the time (would be about 95% but I'm not the best shot in the world...). I am actually quite pleased and happy with the range and accuracy that I get out of it. I do have a longer tight bore inner barrel to put in it, along with a bore up cylinder kit, which should boost my range and accuracy to a great degree. As far as upgrades go, it’s been really easy to pull apart the gun, undo about 4 screws and it just slides apart. No fuss no muss....
My biggest gripe is the fact that the scope that comes with it is attached to the gun (permanently as far as I can tell) and while its not a bad scope, its kind of small and hard to look through while you have a mask on and its a little wobbly, which makes sighting it in kind of hard at times.
In review...
Cons:
-Heavy gun
-Big gun
-Unwieldy gun (okay it doesn’t sound right, but I had to keep using "ass”)
-Fairly expensive gun (so far its cost me about 800$)
-Semi-auto ONLY
-No iron sights, and scope is kind of small and wobbly (it works though)
Pros:
-Good solid feel, very few speaks, and almost no movement of parts
-Very adjustable gun, fully adjustable scope, cheek piece, trigger, things like that
-Nice sound to the gun whine fired, not very realistic, but better than the others anyway
-Feels damned cool to have something that big and that bad that people are scared of the person who uses it (not that anyone’s afraid of ME lol, just they afraid of whoever has the gun)
-Great power and accuracy
