Entry Level,
By With .12 gram BBs it is fairly accurate in 5 round bursts. It shoots around 230fps to 260fps which is plenty if you wait for a target to get in range or are playing CQC. .12s are nice because they are very cheap, but they lack stopping power and can't cut through brush at all. They are extremely safe though, so if you are a parent buying for a younger child, this gun is a great way to get your kid a safe airsoft gun that they will enjoy and and also have them learn the ropes of basic airsoft safety. In a pro-match you wont have a prayer in an open environment but in basic backyard wars, this gun holds it's own and is superior to other entry level weapons. The construction is plastic and the iron sights twist a significant amount when you apply pressure to them but because you won't be engaging enemies at long range, this problem is not that big of a deal. The gun is very light and quick to the snap. The fire-mode switch is plastic but easy to use and sturdier than other models I've seen. There is a secondary safety mechanism built into the main pistol grip (trigger unit) that requires you to be gripping the gun in order to fire. Placing the elastic band the gun comes with around the grip will cancel out this feature (which is what I did). The accessories it comes with are okay, mostly for style. The laser pointer is very (seriously) bright but does not mount very straight on the rail. Mounting it on the bottom rail compensates for this but if you attach the gun strap it will block the laser beam. The forward pistol grip is plastic but it does the job and looks great. I was worried about over twisting the barrel unit by applying too much pressure on the pistol grip. The gun is light enough to not need the grip so I decided not to use it. I do not like the red cross (dot) sight it comes with but my friends do, it is a cheap scope that might normally cost 3 to 7 bucks. I decided to use a 10 dollar red dot sight that I bought separately (and can be easily transfered to new guns) instead. A red dot sight in conjunction with this weapons is very efficient. Do not bother mounting a scope with a zoom, this is an entry level gun and it's not accurate enough to make it worth putting that kind of sight on it. The flash light is, eh... It's unsafe to play at night anyway. The 2 plastic heat shields it comes with are great and cover the RIS rails you don't use so it's smoother on your hand. I think more guns should come with heat shields like this, it's a great and under-rated accessory. Buy extra magazines, they are cheap and well worth it. The magazines are surprisingly sturdy and have never jammed or failed on me (and I own 6). The battery lasts surprisingly long and although it can be a bit difficult accessing it, it is overall much better than other entry level batteries. The gear box is plastic so do not put .2gram BBs or heavier in it because you risk over stressing it. Try to avoid dry firing as well. If you treat the motor well it will last you a while. The charging handle and forward assist do nothing and are locked in place. The hop up is located under the cartridge ejector which flips up and down. The suppressed barrel is great and provides backup for if something were to happen the main barrel. Overall the Double Eagle M-4A1 gun is decent and fun to play with. If anything it looks and feels great. The price is very good as well. Don't waste your money an entry level weapons any more expensive than this, at that point it's worth getting a medium grade weapon with metal internals.

M83 owner,
so today i purchased this Double eagle M83 airsoft rifle for $50.00 at a convention, thinking it was a steal. i had no knowledge of airsoft prior to today. obviously i came home and was wary of the quality, as im kind of perceptive with marketing and advertising and could tell by the packaging that it was designed to appeal to those new to the game.
Anyway, i fumbled around with the rifle for a good 2 hours, getting used to this new world of BB gun. i must say, this is one fun toy. Just so we are clear, this is basically a toy with a toyish feel. Its all plastic. It looks freaking cool, dont get me wrong, i love the weapons aesthetics when its fully assembled to my likings ( removed the grip/iron sight ) on my first shot from this, i was abled to pull of a 40 foot shot on a very small target ( 4x2 inches ). however, as i continued to play with it, i felt the accuracy decrease. this gun isnt that accurate to be honest. its functions all work, which is a huge plus. laser sight works, red dot sight works, flashlight...all came with batteries!! and the safety is very good, no accidental shots and ive tried to mess with it to see if it would pop off a shot. nope. construction is solid for plastic mass manufactured toy gun. gun is fairly powerful as well, shoots hard and fast. overall, very fun as a first or for a kid. you cant go wrong with the price if your on a tight budget...other than that look elsewhere. theres a million different airsofts out there...as i now know...lol good luck!

Good Entry Level Gun,
This gun is very good! It shoots at a decent speed and it is very accurate for a certain distance until it starts to curve(I don't know the distance, but I would say at least as long as the average backyard, if not more). This gun should be wonderful for backyard wars(haven't got to battle with it yet). I thought I would need a more powerful gun, but I realized that nobody would want to play with me if I kept shooting them with a really powerful gun at short distances. The hop up works extremely well. I can aim the gun down (no more than an angle of 45 degrees) and the BB's still curve up enough so it doesn't hit the ground(because of the hop up). The only thing I don't like about the gun is that the barrels are made of cheap plastic and can break off the gun easily. When my friend was playing with it, he accidentally hit me with the barrel and it snapped off. I fixed it with superglue and heavy duty tape though. The seller, Airsoft Central, is awesome and I give them a 5 out of 5! Overall, this gun is probably the best gun you could get for the price for backyard wars. It is defiantly my gun of choice(for backyard wars of course ;)]!
