Tested by Ed

For $365 I think you're getting a fully built AEG with almost everything you need: a Gate Aster programmable mosfet, a slim mlock rail, a spare low-FPS spring, a 140-round midcap and flip-up iron sights. The trigger is very Snappy with a tiny pull, and I'd guess it runs maybe 18 to 20 rounds a second on an 11.1. There's no wobble anywhere and it looks really solid, and I'm impressed with the Delta stock and the K2-plus style grip. My only real complaint is the Lancer tactical branding on the receiver, because I want real-steel style markings on a replica.
