Gen 2 Durable Airsoft Gun SD M4 Polymer- Full/Semi-Auto Piactinny Rail AEG Rifle with 0.20g BBS, Charger and Battery

Outstanding airsoft rifle. Great weight and feel. Shoots straight and is dependable. Perfect for backyard target training with my son

This Lancer Tactical gun is one of the best guns for starters I've ever bought! It'll last you a good long while if you take care of it well. You don't have to clean it or do anything like that. I've had it for over two or three years and it's not like when I first bought it, but it still works pretty well. If you're looking for a good starters gun, then this will do it.

I don't write reviews on Amazon--I don't have time for that, but this weapon is so good, it deserves 5 minutes to write about it. I'm in the military, and while I don't play Airsoft, after getting this M-4, I might have to take it up. Instead, I bought this for my wife to use on rattlesnakes in our yard, since she had trouble pumping a standard BB gun and was worried about putting a BB through a window. This weapon is awesome. I've fired M-16s, M-4s, M-9s, etc, and this one is both realistic and useful. Pros: + Powerful: easily puts 0.2g biodegradable airsoft BBs through multiple layers of cardboard. I think it would kill a snake at close range (although that was not necessarily the intent, just deterrence) + Accurate: I easily got tight groupings in 10-15mph gusts at 50' after changing out the standard sights to a red/green holographic sight + Reliable: I put about 200 BBs through it on the first time out without a misfire or other malfunction + Realistic: other than the safe/semi/auto selector on the discharge port being a static display only, most of the rest of the functions of this weapon mimic the real deal + High quality materials/built: the polymer and other materials are high quality with overall great fit and finish; everything is tight/no rattling or lose parts + Semi vs full auto: both modes easily put plenty of rounds down range and on target Misses: - Similar to other reviews, the front picatinny rail assembly was out of alignment with the rest of the rear one, making the front iron sight out of alignment and difficult to adjust to be accurate. This was easily remedied by removing the iron sights and installing a holographic sight, better for close quarters engagement anyway - Agree with the other reviewers on getting a dedicated smart charger and extra battery--the standard charger and battery are fine, but I prefer the Tenergy smart charger All in all, this is a great weapon. We'll see how long it lasts, but I'd buy again based on my initial impressions.

I purchased two of these guns for my kids as an inexpensive way into air-soft. The whole gun is plastic but i found the receivers to be durable. The gun shoots very good, BBs shot very far and straight, the tight barrel helps for sure. There are flimsy parts and those are the supplied rail and the receiver extension. The rail is the worst as it flexes all over the place. I recommend upgrading the rail and receiver extension. Otherwise it is a great gun!

In the past, my 13 year old has gotten cheaper "play" airsoft guns. This time, we went for a gun that cost more than those others. This is a heavy duty gun. He has shot hundreds of holds in cans and cardboard boxes in the yard! It literally is heavy and feels real. He has had no problems charging it or keeping it going. So far, so good. Know that the included shooting target is tiny (think 8x10" or less), so don't get too excited about that one ;)

Works great and my son loves it!

Great beginner gun

Great quality and construction. Shoots like an airsoft. Looks awesome. The only complaint and this goes for all of airsoft guns is the battery pack, the way it charges and the way you install them is old technology. Gotta be a better and easier way.
