The small chamber under the pistol grip has a weak spring and easily pops open. This is a minor irritant and can be easily fixed with a small screw, tape etc...<BR/><BR/>#2. The panel on the side of the drum mag pops off pretty easily and it caused us to lose half a mag accidentally. The quick infield fix was some electrical tape, but we would prefer to find a better solution.<BR/><BR/>We haven't had this much fun with a new airsoft offering in a while.<BR/><BR/>Given that Airsplat.com sells it for $250 we feel its a real deal. With its all metal construction and superior ammo capacity we feel its worth every penny and then some.<BR/><BR/>Especially given that the next closest offering costs more than double.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
