Just got this in, what an amazing airsoft gun!
First off, it's a beast. It's one giant block of metal, with a bit of ABS on the stock and handgrip.
The internals are rock solid, it's a massive reinforced steel gearbox that looks like an elephant could walk over it with no damage. The internals are actually mostly V2 parts, which means cheap easy upgrades. The box is a dream to work on, unlike other gearboxes where parts go flying and getting the halves together with a strong spring is a practice in frustration, this SAW gearbox has a lever that lets the spring out, so opening and closing is as easy as turning a few screws.
On that note, the spring can be changed by removing 2 hex screws and lifting the gearbox out. A few minutes and you can go from 300 FPS to 450 or more FPS, no problems.
The hopup is a dial adjust type, and works well, this model is a long barreled model.
Accuracy is about on par with most stock AEG's. I actually love a bit of innaccuracy in it, it forces you to fire more rounds to hit your target, much like a real machine gun.
Speaking of firing more rounds, the electric continuously fed included box mag is great. flawless feeding, sound activated, just great. 3000 rounds, or about 3 minutes of nonstop firing.
The sights are also nice, well made, and adjustable right at the back with 2 easy knobs, so you can adjust while you're shooting. The rear site is adjustable for windage and elevation, view through the sites will be familiar to any video game player.
The SAW for good reason continues to be one of the most sought after airsoft guns, it's intimidating, built well, and effective when used right. Buy it from Amazon, you won't regret it!
PS, we are in the process of constructing a mobile bunker/machine gun nest, plans and pictures next week!
