Things I liked:I love this gun! Always wanted a Thompson, but getting a real one, well you know. Even built a wood one when I was a kid. This is my first air-soft gun, so I had a couple issues/questions. More on that in a sec, this gun looks just like the real one, is realitically heavy. The simulated wood is the best I've seen on any weapon. It is extremly accurate. Not a cheap looking or feeling piece to this gun. Things I would have changed:The instructions are poor, but it's relatively simple so not a big deal. Offer a sling. What others should know:There was a youtube video of the guys getting this for Christmas and then doing a "review". That was helpful. Like I said, the instructions were woeful. They said something like"turn the wheel to adjust the hop up". I'm like what the heck is hop up. Contacted Pyramyd help. They sent me a link to another youtube video that explained everything. Thank you! This gun eats bbs so buy lots. Also bought the extra high capacity straight mag as was suggested by others. Took me a while to find the little door on top for loading (no instructions). The drum mag does have adequate instructions and looks cool and works great. There is a manual operation to both mags. You have to wind a wheel periodically to refeed the gun, but it's simple. Did I say buy lots of bbs? Also bought the smart charger, but have not used it yet and the extra battery.
Things I liked:Very well made gun. A blast to shoot in full auto. The full metal parts make the gun feel more realistic. Things I would have changed:Nothing. What others should know:Buy high volt battery and high capacity stick mag!
Things I liked:This is probably going way over 400fps with 20g bbs. They crank out pretty fast. As soon as i opened the box and set it up the gears were sticking so i couldnt use the semiautamtic button.After 2 months th fully auto set up gear stoped working. Things I would have changed:Make it better i dont care if you raise the price i want my guns to last! What others should know:Read above^
how many magazines (450 rnd) can be fired from a single battery charge? is the battery easily swapped for a fully charged one?
Cory from USA:
It is tough to tell how many mags you will get per charge as it depends on how long you are using it between charges and the rate at witch you fire. The battery is swapped very easily on this particular model, it takes no tools and is super easy.
Nate from USA asked:
is the grip ambi? can you fire all 450/60rds full auto with out winding or cocking?
Cory from USA:
The grip is ambi, you will need to wind to shoot that many rounds.
Brian from USA asked:
I just received my kit. What a nice gun, but the instructions are woefully incomplete especially about the BAXs system adjustment. Anyone have more on how to do it, why would I do it, is it good to go out of the box? Thanks!
Zimm from USA:
This has hop up and not BAX. It may be ok out of the box. Usually requires adjustment. The adjustment area is behind where the bolt is on the real gun. You adjust this to stabilize the flight of the bb based on spin as it leaves the gun.
