Just so we are clear, this is basically a toy with a toyish feel. Its all plastic. It looks freaking cool, dont get me wrong, i love the weapons aesthetics when its fully assembled to my likings ( removed the grip/iron sight ) <br/><br/>on my first shot from this, i was abled to pull of a 40 foot shot on a very small target ( 4x2 inches ). however, as i continued to play with it, i felt the accuracy decrease. this gun isnt that accurate to be honest. <br/><br/>its functions all work, which is a huge plus. laser sight works, red dot sight works, flashlight...all came with batteries!! and the safety is very good, no accidental shots and ive tried to mess with it to see if it would pop off a shot. nope. <br/><br/>construction is solid for plastic mass manufactured toy gun. <br/><br/>gun is fairly powerful as well, shoots hard and fast. <br/><br/>overall, very fun as a first or for a kid. you cant go wrong with the price if your on a tight budget...other than that look elsewhere. theres a million different airsofts out there...as i now know...lol <br/><br/>good luck! so today i purchased this Double eagle M83 airsoft rifle for $50.00 at a convention, thinking it was a steal. i had no knowledge of airsoft prior to today. obviously i came home and was wary of the quality, as im kind of perceptive with marketing and advertising and could tell by the packaging that it was designed to appeal to those new to the game.

on my first shot from this, i was abled to pull of a 40 foot shot on a very small target ( 4×2 inches ). however, as i continued to play with it, i felt the accuracy decrease. this gun isnt that accurate to be honest.

its functions all work, which is a huge plus. laser sight works, red dot sight works, flashlight…all came with batteries!! and the safety is very good, no accidental shots and ive tried to mess with it to see if it would pop off a shot. nope.

construction is solid for plastic mass manufactured toy gun.

gun is fairly powerful as well, shoots hard and fast.

overall, very fun as a first or for a kid. you cant go wrong with the price if your on a tight budget…other than that look elsewhere. theres a million different airsofts out there…as i now know…lol

good luck!

It's about 10 times better than my $20 CYMA G36, but it has a few problems. No matter who you buy this from, the shipping is expensive. Also, the laser sight is REALLY cruddy. I tried for an hour to get it to work, and just broke the batteries. If you're looking forward to having a great laser sight, you'll be disappointed. Another slight flaw is that the scope is too low-mounted to comfortably sight, but the gun comes with iron sights. The tactical handle is sturdy and reliable, and the flashlight works well and looks awesome. I showed this to an Army sergeant Iraq veteran, and he was awed by how similar it was to his combat rifle. The sling is good, but a little short if you want to use the gun while it's slung over your shoulder. I really like how it has two detachable barrel tips (one's a silencer, one's a normal barrel), because I can take them off and use this gun like a submachine gun. The tips are a bit fragile, though. It's nice and accurate to about 50 feet, so I use a nice UTG Mk23 spring pistol to cover the longer ranges (accurate to 100 ft, and only $20! Check it out on ShortyUSA). My brother's clips broke, though. Now he has to continuously hold them in the gun with one hand to allow them to feed. Overall, for the price, it's an awesome gun. If you're looking for a cheap, mid-range-accuracy, backyard-battle AEG, BUY THIS GUN! The gun itself is really nice, with a good fps and rate of fire.

It shoots at a decent speed and it is very accurate for a certain distance until it starts to curve(I don't know the distance, but I would say at least as long as the average backyard, if not more). This gun should be wonderful for backyard wars(haven't got to battle with it yet). I thought I would need a more powerful gun, but I realized that nobody would want to play with me if I kept shooting them with a really powerful gun at short distances. The hop up works extremely well. I can aim the gun down (no more than an angle of 45 degrees) and the BB's still curve up enough so it doesn't hit the ground(because of the hop up). The only thing I don't like about the gun is that the barrels are made of cheap plastic and can break off the gun easily. When my friend was playing with it, he accidentally hit me with the barrel and it snapped off. I fixed it with superglue and heavy duty tape though. The seller, Airsoft Central, is awesome and I give them a 5 out of 5! Overall, this gun is probably the best gun you could get for the price for backyard wars. It is defiantly my gun of choice(for backyard wars of course ;)]! This gun is very good!
