Pros:
Metal Hand guard. Wired to stock and has more battery space compared to front wired G36s. All Rails are metal. Good range out of the box. Comes with 2 mags, battery/charger, and a vertical grip. Has an adjustable cheek riser and butt plate on the SL-8 style stock with built in pistol grip. Easy to break down to the gearbox M4 magwell holds in magazines tightly. Feeds with M4 mid-caps. Swivel sling adapter that can be mounted to either side High quality nylon fiber body. Very adaptable to various roles.

Cons:
Loud Gearbox. Low iron sights make them nearly impossible to use with a mask on. Selector switch is a little out of reach for even big hands. Metal front hand guard had a few mill flaws that needed to be filed down. Orange tip must be boiled off for risk of snapping the outer barrel housing. Requires allen key (included) to access battery compartment. Upper rail is pretty low making it hard to access the charging handle.

Now for making a good gun great -Upgrades performed:
High Torque motor, to increase fire rate, reduce noise and improve battery life. Re-shimmed the gears for smoother and slightly quieter firing. 6.01 Madbull tight bore barrel for improved accuracy and range. Gemtech replica mock suppressor to protect longer inner barrel. Madbull shark fin bucking for improved air seal and hop up effectiveness. 636 air nozzle installed with o-ring for improved air seal. Modify polycarb piston to replace the stock on that was being chewed up by the stock gearbox shimming. Modify aluminum piston head installed for overall durability of the gearbox.
  

Overall a great gun to consider if you want something that looks completely different than many other airsoft guns on the field. The internals are decent enough stock to be ready to play. This replica can be used for many different roles.
