4.0 out of 5 stars Great beginner gun, October 17, 2010

By 

Aaron Airsofter - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soft Air DPMS A17 AEG (Sports)

This was my second aeg (after a crap m4 style one that broke in a week). I found this gun to be EXTREMELY reliable. I played in games where I was up against much higher quality guns and this one was able to compete. I highly recommend this gun for beginners and those who want a reliable gun for occasional play. I've been using it for about a year and am just now having slight problems with it.

Pros:
Amazing breakdown feature for a cheaper gun (push 2 pins out and top receiver comes off)
Effective hop-up
Good mag capacity
Good rate of fire
Decent accuracy
Lots of rails
Easy to repair and tinker with

Cons:
Plastic gearbox (you get what you pay for)
Not easy to find compatible mags
Slightly fragile

Even with these cons, I'd highly recommend this gun. I still love it, even though I've moved well on from needing it.

4.0 out of 5 stars pretty decent gun, December 6, 2010

This review is from: Soft Air DPMS A17 AEG (Sports)

Well it is a decent AEG not as good as some of the More professional ones, but still in the realm of competing with them (Not very effectively but it is possible)

I have owned this gun for about a year and still have not had any major problems
(Yes I still have backyard battles every few weeks to warm up for large battles)

Pros
High cap magazine holds 400 rounds a pretty good amount for backyard play (still a little over kill)
Decent rate of fire (for backyard play where everyone else has crossmans from wall mart its a slaughter)
Decent FPS (300FPS)
batteries lasts a while

Cons
Only a decent rate of fire (well its only $80 bucks)
plastic gearbox
kind of bad accuracy but still usable

pretty good gun over all unless you want go to a Major air soft battle than this is not worth it
