i used to airsoft...and it usually isn't close to what they say it is on amazon. that company most likely makes copies of higher end guns...and sells them like 3 times cheaper. dont be surprised if they break easily though. with that gun you most likely will see 270fps and 15 bbs per second with a fully charged battery

.12g-420fps .2g-360fps

If you're going to be using WalMart BB's in that gun, you probably would get around 400 fps in that. Just don't. All you'll get is a scratched up barrel, poor accuracy, and a whole lot of jams. Some quality .2's wouldn't be that bad. With .2's you'll probably get 320-360 FPS most likely.

7 pounds

Okay.

shoots 20 bb's per second

A high 'BB's per second' doesn't really matter. Except waste more ammo.

metal gearbox

Anything without a metal gearbox is horrible, however, if it does have one that doesn't mean it's any good.

only $100?!

Actually, no. It's $110.00. Then add shipping. The funny thing is that they said the list price is $250. It's $100 less than that everywhere else.

JG honestly isn't that bad. But from Amazon? I wouldn't.

All those are JG and are probably the best you could get for being so cheap.

Bumping it up a little more in cost, there's Echo 1 which I would much rather have than a JG...

Ok, what do you want to do with this gun? Backyard wars? or actual airsoft?

And you wont be getting 320 fps with that gun.

It's NOT BAD. You're better off getting a Sportline Classic Army or something. My brother has that same exact gun. It's NOT BAD but if you are spending that much, get something more worthwhile.

Did you even LOOK UP Classic Army Sportline? It's like 120 bucks...and it's really good. My brother also used to have one of those.

Here. Find it somewhere else if you want but it's a good gun. Better than J&G or whatever.

Because unlike the gun in your first post, these actually go the FPS they are said to go.

The gun you posted i seriously doubt goes anything over 300 FPS. If it does, thats because its going to strip every single gear in gear box after 5 uses.

idk i have had good experiences with estimated fps. my first gun i ever bought was a $20 spring rifle that said fps 290 and it turned out to clock in at 320.

the reviews of the AK47 that i showed said that when tested it clocked in at

" the FPS cronoed at 398 FPS with .2 g BBs "

" 392.7 fps right out of the box. some of the metal parts are slightly off black "

both are from reviews of buyers for the AK btw

You don't listen, do you?

None of those. Spend the SAME AMOUNT and get a good gun that will last. Classic Army SPORTLINE SERIES.
