General Off-Topic Discussion / Re: Your first Airsoft gun
« on: October 03, 2011, 08:19:00 PM »
My first was a generic spring pistol with a maximum range of about 10 feet...I was most likely about 9-10 years old at max.  Now I have a JG Smith & Wesson M&P15...looking to take on a match in November, only waiting on face protection and misc parts.

I just got eight Mag mid caps from Evike...good shipping and usually good customer service from my experience.  All eight came with perfect finish and worked good out of the box.  Then again I did lube and unload each magazine twice before use.

Pricing

Use coupon EvikeFTW to take off 16%
$48.72ea
Shipping is around $13.00
Total cost is $61.72

Within 24 hours I had a pre-paid shipping label in my Inbox and Evike offering me a full credit towards a different replica or exchange for same replica, very impressed.  However, I ultimately ignored it and will fix it myself as they do not have another Smith & Wesson AEG in store within the same price range.  Keep in mind I got this AEG over Labor Day for $164 when it normally costs over $200, I can afford to fix / upgrade it.

-----------------------------------------

Second problem with Evike quality of products...
I ordered six JG / Echo1 / Cyma M4 Hi-Caps to go with my new AEG, let me break down the problems.
*All six of have rust on them, on the weld seams and possibly in the internal gear mechanism
*They are not even close to the same shade of black or texture
*Not a single one of them fits into my magazine well

I sent Evike an RMA with exchange request for the MAG Mid-Caps and had it approved within 48 hours, but this time they did not provide a shipping label, no bigger its only $8.  Again, not bad service at all.

-----------------------------------------

Another problem with Evikes quality of products...here we go again
*BONUS* Ordered a tactical vest that came with extra accessories to my advantage, advertised with only having three rifle magazine pouches but mine came with six.  You can remove the right magazine pouches to reveal velcro to attach the included pistol holder.
*Ordered three sets of playing cards and one of them arrived already unwrapped.
*My 9.6v battery was laying lose inside the packaging with nothing to secure it.

-----------------------------------------

Overall I will keep using Evike as they have not "screwed" me yet and they have an unbeatable selection of merchandise and the prices are great.  Also, Evike offers 16% off every order, this alone has already saved me over $100...can't complain.

Those who say the M4 is 'over rated' are wrong, the M4 is one of the most popular weapons in the world for a reason.  Go out and buy any high quality M4 and use conversion kits as needed.  For example, for a CQB area collapse the stock and attach a CQB style barrel.  Simple

Or just get the Derringer thing...

I think 600FPS is a little high...what if they shot someone under 100'?

What the topic says...I am working on an in-depth review but need help with the internals section.  I do not know the internals well enough to give an accurate opinion.
The replica in question is the JG Full Metal M4


If anyone knows about the internal quality / specifications please post them.  Do NOT post if you are guessing, only if you truly know.
Credit will be given to those who assist me.

Right now the review is 1,618 words with 27 pictures.  Estimated finished product will be around 2,000 words and 35 pictures.

AEG has already failed...kinda surprised by this to be honest.

The M4 will not allow one to fire in Semi until you cycle to Auto for a few rounds, this happens often.
The M4 will suddenly start dry firing for a random amount of time until it returns to actually firing rounds.  I have adjusted the hop up and lubed the magazine, issue continues to happen.

I just sent a RMA Notice to Evike as per there Warranty if I attempt to repair it I void all Warranties.

I will keep you all updated.

Okay so here are a few pre review photos and info about the aeg.

Cons
1 - The packaging is by far not the best!  The magazine had fallen out of its foam holder, not at all secured (design flaw, I bet all aegs come this way).
2 - One of the prongs on the flash hider was chipped off, it was cheap plastic.
3 - The stock is not very secure, I will attempt to repair it...time will tell.
4 - Small amount of play in the handguards.

I do not want to release any pros until I have more time to review it myself.

And now for the photos!
*Photos taken quickly and with a 7yr old 5MP HP Photosmart...expect better quality photos in the actual review.

Okay here are some of the key points I plan to incorporate into the review...please let me know if I am overlooking anything.

Packaging
-Design of box
-Protection that the box offers
-Layout of the box

Externals
-Stock
-Sling Mounts
-Sights
-Receiver
-Magazine Well
-Motor Grip
-Handguards
-Outer Barrel
-Charging Handle
-Dust Cover
-Bolt Catch

I am also working on a complex Matrix that I will use as a 'standard' grading system for all future reviews I post so having this one nailed down is important.

Please only add feedback at this time regarding packaging and externals.  I will break down other categories at a later time.

Okay so here is my order status so far...
Ordered from Evike on 9.3.11
Moved to shipping center on 9.6.11
Shipped via UPS on 9.7.11
Estimated delivery 9.9.11
-EDIT 9.9.11- Package dropped off at 12:16PM.  UPS played ding dong ditch as usual, I swear the guy ran back to his truck and floored it!

So you can all expect a written review of at least 2,000 words / 15 pictures around October 1st.

Or do you guys find that a well made video review would be better?
