UTG Type 96 Reviews

the gun is very well made I have had a ton of fun with it the best sniper I bought it is very durable and is mostly metal only the stock isn't. but it is very very thick plastic. I can get 480 to 520 fps with mine stock no mods.XD.

the spot where the bipod connects isn't the best way to do it. it is very loose and falls out of the hole but I am not saying it is useless it works great. the bipod is full metal and is adjustable.

do not loose the piece on the speed reloader it is essential or u can not reload the clip.

This gun is very quiet and fun to shout. I also like the doable mag, scope, and the weight is good.

Things I would change is the sling it is worthless

Looks great. Makes you feel real legit even at a low price. Weight is perfect. Plastic is good and sturdy

Bipod a tad wobble but still works. other than that perfect!!!

Looks and feels great. You will be proud to own it!!!

how fast i got it in the mail and the Scope is sick i love it

it needs to come with a Hex key for the Bipod it was lose all together

just got it so i will up date after have one or two game played and the shooting test

The bolt action is fun, the buttpad and cheekrest are ajustable, and the bipod is great

The hop-up is a pain to ajust and almost impossible to ajust in battle

This gun is awesome! Its best with .28 bbs because it dosn't lose much power and it is much more accurate than .2

This gun has very good fps, but dont use the .20 gram there to light and they'll never go were u want. Use .28 still has good velocity and very accurate after you ajust the hopup and zero in the scope. The scope is cool because it can light up red or green. Really fun to cock.

The bipod is a little wobbly but it doesnt effect your shoting.

I made a dent and my freinds head from 100 ft out with a .28 gram so over all this gun is great Buy it

This is a great starter sniper rifle. Shoots fast, accurate and very easy to shoot. This thing looks badass too...

Little heavy and the trigger is kinda cheesy you cant get a good squeeze of the trigger its a little tight so its more of a pull

Get yourself some heavy good quality bbs i suggest atleast .28 i went with .3 There is a little hole under the trigger guard for the alen wrench to assemble that will rub against ur finger during long periods of shooting I suggest filing the edge or placing a piece of tape over it

this gun kicks major @$$! its fun and very accurate and has a good round capacity for the mag. high powerd and very relyable. addjusting the stock and head rest was very easy. same with the hop up. it is also very durable all the small parts are metal and not some cheep plastic that breaks on you.

it is pretty heavy but hay its a sniper rifle...you sit and snip not run and gun. the bi-pod does wiggle a little bit but it doesnt affect the shot at all. the hop up was kinda weird and diffacult to get to but once i got the tool in there it was a breaze. other than that i wouldnt change a darn thang

WARNING! this gun is not for begginers. it is very strong and should not be pointed at anything you do not intend to shot. just ask my friend joey he can tell you all about how strong it is. sighting the rifle in is a long process but take your time doing it cause it pays off in the end. i do rcomend that if you buy this gun to use.20g weight bbs. they are more accurate that the .12g bbs and it makes for moore accurate shots. other than that this gun is the best gun i have ever bought. = ]

this gun is the best gun that i have owned so far... by a long shot... i have always been the sniper on my teem and this would be my gun of choice it is very accurate from great distances... when my brother got an h&k gun that shot 400 with .2 it upped the level that we were laying at.... my old sniper the super nine pro (which is still a great gun for the price) wasn't not up for the task of beating my brother... so i got the sniper set the scope and started dominating... it is so powerfull that nobody wants to come closer then 30 feet in a battle... the best thing that happened with this gun was when i was up in a tree about ten feet off the ground and shot my brother in the chest from 200 feet... whenever i fight my friends ill shoot one of them or come close to one o them and i will star hearing them yelling to fall back... and even when they fall back i can still nail them because of the scope... the scope is one of the best things that this gun comes with... if you are gona buy this gun but it from hear because it comes with a scope... also this gun is silent... like not just quiet but silent.... i was in a battle and i shot some one from fifty feet away while they were running toward me and they stoped and hid behind a tree facing the wrong direction that left me with on open shot because they thought they got shot from down hill when i was to the right of where they were facing two seconds to aim and you CAN"T miss at 50 feet unless you are he most horrable shot in the world... well enough with the stories... this gun us one of the best snipers at this level if not the best... if you play in the woods get it in the green color because it is hared yo see in the woods... infact everyone only sees the orange tip instead of the

i wish it had a bi pod

setting the scope and hop up are hard but dont give up because if they are set perfectly you will have an extremely amazing gun

This package is an exceptional value... you just can't beat it for the price. It feels solid and looks good. The scope is nice and easily adjustable... And yes, this is an airsoft rifle you can actually sight in!

While the gun is already heavy, I wish it were balanced a little better. It feels a bit front heavy. In the prone position, using the bi-pod, this gun is stable and a blast to shoot, however, standing up with this rifle will wear you out it and reduce your number of "kill-shots". Also as stated in other reviews, the sling is worthless. For the price I am not even suggesting including a high quality sling, just don't include the one that will lead to a dropped and damaged rifle.

Be warned; this thing hurts! At 150' the BB still has a powerful impact, and at 100' they leave 2" bruises and nasty welts. Closer than that can be messy; 25' and this thing will shoot straight through both sides of a heavy cardboard box and still have enough power to travel another 100'. It has great power and is fairly accurate up to 150'... and by accurate I mean, accurate for airsoft. The gun is a bit temperamental as far as BB's go. I am using .3gm polished BB's and have gotten good results (too bad .30 gm BB's are expensive and harder to find). I would not recommend even messing around with .20 gm BB's because you will be disappointed with the erratic accuracy. Even with the heavier weight ammo, the consistency is not always there. Every 5 or 6 shots, you get one of those random strays curving off to the left. Once sighted in, it is a true pleasure to actually see an airsoft gun hit the target you are aiming at in a single shot. This gun is a real blast to shoot; so much in fact, after several hours you will realize that your arm is sore from cocking the spring.

Wow...everything. For the money, THIS is the one. I've got the black one (they were sold out of OD), but they're the same. Great cocking action, not too hard at all. Trigger is a little Hasbro, but very crisp and light. Stock is super adjustable.

Make it a little heavier (it's only about 7lbs neat), fill the barrel shroud with foam to support the inner barrel. Tighter barrel would be nice.

You'll need GOOD airsoft ammo. Forget the bright yellow stuff from Crosman (forget that stuff anyway, it's a waste in ANY gun). At a bare minimum use .25 gram, quality BBs. Even better are the heavy-weight .43 gram Digicons. Get the kit, because the extras are worth it. The bipod is a little much for this, but works well with my other guns.

I love the look. Its just a mean looking gun. The scope is great and it is very accurate. the bipod is strong but wiggles a little. This kit comes with every thing. The gun, 4 allen wrenches, 1000 bb's, scope, bipod , speed loader, cleaning rod and 2 magazines. This kit has a great money value. For the lower-middle class people like me the price is very reasonable. bottom line THIS GUN IS GREAT!!!!

the bolt is hard to pull back and it is a little heavy.

you pals will probably run and hide when you break this thing out so you probably won't see you pals for a while.

The extreme power and accruacy of this gun. It is very affordable. Just everything about it is amazing.

Nothing at all

The bolt is kind of hard to pull back and the gun is pretty heavt too

I love the size and heft of this monster. It easily weighs around 10 to 11 pounds with the scope and bipod mounted. The accuracy is spot on and rather consistent. A few pellets might drift off slightly, but that's because this is an airsoft gun, so don't expect to be firing with the accuracy of its real steel counterpart. The included bipod is excellent. It does wobble slightly, but not enough to be a problem. Honestly, you can't expect the bipod to do ALL the work in aiming, it's just there to provide that extra support, and the included one does an amazing job of that. The fact that this package includes the gun, scope AND bipod is reason enough to purchase.

I hate illuminated scopes, and guess what's included in this package? The illuminated scope gives you away easily, because the illumination shines out both ends of the scope. It essentially lights you up for all to see. Perhaps a higher power rangefinding scope (like a 3-9x adjustable) without illumination would make a better included attachment, since they both cost about the same. Now, another thing many people might not know about this gun. The trigger box is PLASTIC. It seems to be holding up just fine after a few games, but all in all, you must keep in mind that plastic is very bad. It's especially bad when it's in a gun that fires near 500 fps. Plastic breaks down easily, it's just that simple, and while I have yet to see any problems, it doesn't stop me from worrying. If you want a reliable gun that will never break, no matter what you do to it, look for metal, metal, and more metal.

This is an excellent package for the beginner sniper or collector. The gun itself has some aesthetic defects (i.e. rather visible seam lines across the body), but all in all it's a solid piece and definitely a great conversation starter. When getting a sniper rifle, no matter what rifle it is, I always go for a spring, bolt-action gun over a gas bolt action gun or an AEG. Bolt-action springers are generally more reliable, more cost effective, and less inclined to fail you than any other gun on the market. This is because it's running the simplest of airsoft weapons-systems, and there is less that can go wrong with the internals. DO NOT PUT THE INCLUDED SLING ON THIS GUN. The sling is a standard nylon web-woven belt with two little keychain style clips on either end. This gun weighs 10+ pounds, and those little clips are about the quality of a paperclip. If you don't want to see your brand new gun smash to the floor, DO NOT hang it from the included sling under any circumstance. If you're dead-set on using a sling, look elsewhere, because the included sling just doesn't cut it. Only use .25 ammo and up in this gun. The .2 ammo is okay, but with .25 you will see a definite increase in accuracy. I personally recommend .28 and .3 ammo if you can get your hands on it, as that's probably the most reliable in terms of distance and accuracy. The .43 is a little overkill for this gun, but whatever works for some people, I guess. Also, stay away from illuminated scopes. They probably serve some great purpose at 300 yards or farther, but for the ranges that airsoft is played at, you might as well paint a target on your head and dance around once you switch the scope on. Be prepared to dump another $60 on a different scope if you play airsoft as a sport. If you're a casual shooter, however, this won't really be a problem. Finally, this gun can take the majority of upgrades available for the Maruzen Type 96. This adds exceptional value to the gun, since the Maruzen costs about $200 more. Perhaps the first upgrade you want to check out is a metal trigger system to replace the default plastic one. All in all, this is a great package and I highly recommend it. PyramydAir has awesome service, and your gun will arrive right on time in pristine condition. Have fun, be safe.

The punch it puts out, the scope in this kit with R/G Illuminated reticles, the gun is super accurate and it out distances about everything else out there.

A little lighter gun would be appreciated, and the bipod mount wabbles a bit back and forth.

This is for the stationary sniper. Running around with this thing will really wear you down. It's heavy. But, once your setup , this thing rules. 100' hits are routine and easy for this gun. Use .25 g bb's and higher. One other thing you should know before buying it - your buddies may not want to play anymore when you show up. Get it!
