well finally this baby arrived. Ive been waiting for this one for ages now and was like a kid at christmas with it earlier.,

Its very impressive, one of the gucci little features I liked, the fire select indicator on the right side of the gun opposite the fire selector is actually functional and moves as you select different modes. the battery is stored up the front inside the RIS and it also comes with a crane stock attached. I'm not big on crane stocks myself so i stuck on a VFC 416 stock with the H&K markings.

the blowback is really cool. it uses a smart system of parasiting off the cylinder to throw back the dust cover. its not as noisey as i had thought it ws going to be but its still pretty impressive, being that its only a small metal dust cover there isnt much in the way of actually recoil from it.,

Originally i wasn't crazy on the grip they chose for this and still prefer the look of the H&K original but after holding this one I think I've decided to keep it since its so comfy on there and looks a little different from the usual,.

The entire body is G&G's typical magnesium alloy and is solid as a rock. Theres also a fancy screwdriver that comes with it for removing the front end to fit the battery. Inside the handle of the screwdriver there's a neat little tool for adjusting the rear sight.

It will take regular M4/M16 magazines and the one that comes with it is a 450rd hicap with the 5.56 trades on.
The needs a 2 piece nun chuck type battery for the RIS and wont take a normal mini type. luckily i had a cheapo battery at hand for it though.,

After a quick stint on the chronograph its giving an average reading of about 310-315fps at 15rounds per second on the 8.4v., it'll be interesting to see what kinda ROF it gets with the 9.6v decent battery.,

anyway, heres some pics for ya'll.

Oh, and whippeee! I'm the first in the country to get the toptech, shiva and gerroudat, eat your heart out.,
