Things I liked:

This is one heck of an AEG. For the price. Very hard hitting. Very well made feel's like and looks like the real thing. Has some kick to it. Accuracy is great. I cant say anything bad about it. Buy it you will be glad that you did.

Things I would have changed:

Bigger Clip. But you can buy that.

What others should know:

Just buy it !!!

Things I liked:

This is metal so it does feel like a real one.

Things I would have changed:

Stay away from this --- I ordered one and it was not working, ordered a replacement and it died after just a few shots. After checking reviews at other sites, found few people had exactly the same problem!!! This seems to be a common design/or part defect - many Thompson guns of model fail just after a few shots.

    Things I liked:

    Heavy. Seems durable. Unable to fire as it did not arrive with the listed battery and charger and Pyramid was unwilling to send one. Returned and on wait list for complete set.

    Things I would have changed:

    You know, maybe include the stuff it lists as included. Not Pyramids fault.

    Things I liked:

    Worked great right out of the box. Had a real hefty feel like the real thing. Very accurate on semi- or auto. Easy to load with large capacity mag. The electric fire is great I like not having to buy a lot of CO2 cartridges.

    What others should know:

    Some reviewers complain about the plastic stock but it looks and feels fine without the added weight. I bought the 6mm pellets which are biodegradable. This was my first air soft gun and my grandsons loved it.

    Things I liked:

    - Extremely accurate! - Very Powerful! NOT a toy! - Convenient loading - Convenient battery hatch - Roomy capacity mag - Looks great! - Heavy feel and weight - A TON of fun!

    Things I would have changed:

    - Included 1100Mah NiMh battery is garbage...make sure you have a different battery on hand or you won't be shooting squat. I plan on using my lipos....but be sure polarity is correct as Airsoft guns use reverse polarity of RC batteries!!!!!! - I tried a 9.6v NiMh battery I got from Amazon and it worked great! The gun becomes a tack driver!

    What others should know:

    You should know the description of this gun has errors. As of 05/23/18, It claims the gun comes with a Swiss Arms Power Booster (which if you look close, only comes with some M4A1 model which I don't see listed anywhere on this site as an airsoft.). THIS gun comes with no such thing!!!! It also lists 11.4v and 7.1v lipo capacity which there is no such thing. Lipos run 11.1v and 7.4v. They might update the description since I pointed the errors out. I plan to get Mini Tamiya adapters and try my 11.1v lipos, but first I have to reverse the polarity on the Mini Tamia connector. All in all I am VERY impressed with this gun....even over my CO2 models which don't work so well in cold weather, but this gun will! For target shooting, this is more than I had hoped for in an automatic gun. Other than the misleading descriptions of this gun, I am very happy with it and more than a little impressed!

    Things I liked:

    Looks great and works great.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would like to get some slightly shorter magazines (which would be 20 rounds .45 acp) which would be more realistic but otherwise everything is fine. Authentic sling (WWII) would be leather. Vietnam would be green web with metal closer. Leather would be cost prohibitive but the other, green web, would be better.

    What others should know:

    You should thoroughly enjoy this "Blast from the Past" the tendency is to forget that it's got plastic furniture so be a little kind in your handling and don't mess with the orange muzzle. It looks that real.

    Things I liked:

    Gun is amazing, i love all things WWII and this gun definitely looks and feels real. Feels very durable and sturdy, especially the wood parts (which im not sure if it's real wood or not)

    Things I would have changed:

    Only thing i hated was the battery was junk, but that's not hard to replace

    Things I liked:

    Amazingly realistic replica, excellent accuracy and velocity. Outstanding value, and if it holds up well with no problems, it will get a sixth star!

    Nothing.

    Things I liked:

    It feels good, well made, durable.

    Things I would have changed:

    A vertical fore grip would be nice. The stock is just too long and too wide! I'm no midget (I wear a large shirt with 35" sleeve length), and I feel like I'm really having to reach for the trigger. Also, like some other people mentioned, the rear sight is loose and wobbly.

    Things I liked:

    The best thing about this gun is the quality. Everything is metal besides the faux wood,and even that is good quality .Plus it hurt's like crazy. IT LEAVES WELTS FOR WEEKS.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would have liked real wood ,but there are always conversion kits . Also, it would be nice to have some foam padding in the stock, because when you run, the battery bounces all around inside, but at least swapping the batteries is easy.

    What others should know:

    Don't take it apart unless you are experienced in disassembling and reassembling airsoft guns.

    Things I liked:

    This gun is the best AEG I have bought yet. Its full metal parts make it feel like the real thing, and it has a good solid feel. It has plenty of FPS for any skirmish I have ever been in, and its accuracy is quite good, given the short barrel. I would definitely recommend getting a 9.6 volt battery to increase rate of fire. Its a great buy.

    Things I would have changed:

    NOTHING

    What others should know:

    works best with .23-.25 ammo

    Things I liked:

    Full metal, with the exception of plastic wood. Lasted longer than my plasticy famas! I prefer stick mags because the drums jam up way too easily

    Things I would have changed:

    Only thing i didn't Like are the rear sights. I learned to jusf use.the front sight and hip fire most of the time. If i did use the rear sight, i put all the way down like pistol sights. Wish I could put a r.d.s. on despite that its an old military weapon

    What others should know:

    Use a better battery closer to 2000 mah, but not over 2400, and definetly not lipo unless you've replace the interiors with sturdier pieces.

    Things I liked:

    I have had this gun for two years and it still amazes me,very very accurate, it can shoot up to 230 ft, but keep this in mind, I was using .20 and had the hop up almost all the way up and you won't really but hit much at 230 ft, but its a great gun good for CQB and outdoors, very accurate at 50-70 ft.

    Things I would have changed:

    the pistol grip is a little a small,if you have big hands it will be a little tight.

    What others should know:

    remember to clean it after a battle or every 3000 to 4000 thousands rounds, if you don't it will affect the rate of fire and it will miss-feed,get the UTG silicone oil $4.45

    Things I liked:

    Magazine locks in very solid.quite accurate despite the short barrel.Very good for cqb or open woods play. Very solid realistic gun.

    Things I would have changed:

    Bring up the 360F.P.S. to match King Arms 400+.

    What others should know:

    Shoots best with .23 bb's.Get a bigger MAH.battery.Short barrel makes for easy manuverability.

    Things I liked:

    Biggest problem was that it would not fire at all (and yes the saftey was off). Can't rate the accuracy. Battery was charged but still would not fire. Overall it had a cheap feel, the butt plate was difficult to open and hard to rotate out of the way. Returned it .. THANKS to PyramydAir for the quick refund! Ordered the King Arms military version ... MUCH, much better, total quality feeling!

    Things I would have changed:

    Better QA at CyberGun ...

    This gun feels real. The metal body is super durable and sturdy. I have had multiple airsoft wars with this gun and my friends are scared of it. Gun works just as good as when i got it about a year ago. Dead on accuracy and incredible fire rate. Good Quality.

    Things I would have changed:

    Might want to invest in a spare mag and batery

    Things I liked:

    Solid, robust construction. Heavy like the real thing...very true to the original, appearance-wise. Plastic furniture, but hard to tell. Plastic is very thick and strong...no flex or movement at all. Accurate. Great rate of fire. Great range...battery life is good.

    Things I would have changed:

    Rear sight is adjustable...maybe too adjustable. It moves around too easily. Not too big of a problem if you're gonna spray-n-pray, but single shots will be off.

    What others should know:

    Yep. It's a keeper. Very happy with it. Recommended.
