SO WHAT DO WE RATE IT?
LOOKS
This is a very typical style M4A1 blaster, so we give this one a 7/10. We have seen this look a lot, through its a very refined version. Our head tech Lee says this rating is #formyself.
FIREPOWER
Solid 10/10 for this blaster! It's great straight out of the box. To see how this one shoots through the chrono and through the field, check out Lee's video from 6:56.
MODABILITY
This V2 base, threaded receiver, you can change the gearbox, change the hand grip and more! This one is a 10/10 without doubt.
DURABILITY
10/10. We have stress tested this blaster and shot a lot of mags through it before we releasing and it handled it beautifully!
For the nylon gearbox we rate it an 8/10! Don't abuse the blaster and it will last you for a very long time with no failures.
FOR WHERE & WHO?
This blaster is suited for anyone playing CQB style to outdoor field style gameplay. We don't recommend this blaster for anyone who is new to the sport as it is a bit more pricey for a blaster. The nylon style blaster though is perfect for beginners! Great for close range and outdoor style fields.
PLEASE REMEMBER: STOP & THINK
Always be smart when carrying a gel blaster in public. Don’t forget to KEEP THEM BAGGED when travelling from events or anywhere outside of your home. Always use eye protection and be safe! We want blasters to be around long-term so make sure you’re doing the right thing.
