hooray! more taiwanese bullshit for people to waste their money on! every we i've seen has been a steaming pile of crap. the finish and weight is nice, but the internals are all SLIGHTLY different from tm dimensions so aftermarket stuff doesnt work, the slide is FAR too heavy for the gas system, the mags hold barely enough gas to fire off 20 rounds, and you have to shoot slow because of the tremendous cooldown. one way they've sorta fought this is by adding a super weak recoil spring (easier for the gun to blow back) which gives the gun a bit of an impotent action. it's so weak that i was able to rack the 3.8 hicapa just by thrusting it backwards then forwards ULTIMATE ONE HANDING RACK! dont kid yourself, it's not a feature. oh and dont even try to upgrade the recoil spring as then you MIGHT be able to squeeze off 15 rounds before running out of gas or being too cooldowned to even fire anymore, and that's if youre lucky.
do yourselves a favor and buy tm instead. they at least engineered it, and know it works. we just copied tm (poorly) and slapped on a lead-alloy slide that the mechanism wasnt designed to push.
