Ok, the good stuff…
With metal gears, it feels heavy and solid in the hand.
Nylon frame and slide, but the real ones come in polymer, so tell yourself its one of those…!!
The mag is a beauty.
Previous gen 3dg elec pistols…around 170-180 fps…the battery and wires had to adopt several karma sutra positions, to just get everything to fit…
Pinching and chafed wires, bulging mags, and frayed nerves were the norm.
All fixed now, with the new mag system.
The bottom part unclips easily, the battery and wires fit in naturally and easily, no threat of pinching wires upon closure. Almost enough room, to throw in the weeks groceries…!

Best thing about the battery…you dont even need one.
Thats right, this thing could be best described as…
“A manual cycling blaster, with battery assisted cycling”.
No battery installed, it still functions as a normal manual blaster.
Good news, if in years to come, batteries aren’t available, you can still manually cycle it… Score.!!
The mag holds around 20 gels, so a decent capacity.
Trigger response was not really noticeably different, on 7.4 vs 11.1v, both were ok, and kept up a quick ROF.
Performance was good…a few gels to lubricate the barrel, and off it went.
I used new Ihobby hard gels, and thet worked well. xforce pinkies shatter…
It has a inbuilt hop up, arcing upwards quite a bit, so i’ll have to have a play with that…
Average fps around 195…with highs over 210, up to nearly 220…!!
Kinda makes the TEC-9 look like a wheezy asthmatic kid, puffing on a ventolin inhaler…!!
I wish the TEC-9 mob spent a few more bucks on quality components, and upped their price, to get results like this…
Getting 200+ out of a pistol this size is remarkable…
I have no doubt the upgraded spring would get it to a consistent 230 fps…
That would make it a viable gameday blaster…and a quiet back-yarder, if you have nosy, noise concerned neighbours (@Dirty_Sanchez take note)
Ihobby sell em here for $400…dont pay that…
Get yourselves a b709, and grab one for $200 instead…!! Bargain…!!
@AKgelblaster does carry them, but if she cant ship them out, then m416gelblaster do…
EDIT: so far my best is 21 gels in the magazine.
A decent amount…
