Tested by Ed

I feel like a winner because in this $199 box, I've already made money with the Hudson H9 and the Cyber PP19 Bison alone being worth over $390. The Hudson is really cool and feels ergonomic, though I'm not the biggest fan of gas blowback because it doesn't work well when it gets pretty cold. I'll test the Hudson out maybe this weekend, but I don't think the Bison is going to be my favorite gun that I'll be using. I'm also excited to see what everyone else got in their box of awesomeness!
