  These guns are terrible. The first one broke after a couple of shots were fired and the second gun broke in the same fashion shortly after. They are cheep guns and it is a waste of money.

  These guns suck, when i received them one didn’t even work and the other was no where near the advertised 180 fps, it was more like 90 fps….DO NOT BUY.. WASTE OF MONEY

  The best thing about this purchase is that there are two guns in the box. This allows you to use the spare after the first one breaks. Best hour of my life.

  This gun is just plain awsome. I bought it off airsoftgi.com for Around $60, and although shipping was slow, i was amazed when i got it. The power on this thing is incredible for an electric pistol. I had atleast 250 fps using .2. It looks cool, and is very durable. I suggest getting extra mags and a smart charger. This gun is so good i can use it as my primary.

  Against Mid- to high-grade rifles, this gun makes a fine sidearm. Compared to guns that you might buy at Dick’s Sporting Goods at similar prices, however, this is a beast. If you don’t want a long review, skip ahead now. Don’t say I din;t warn you.
  Structure
  I purchased my g18c for about $50 plus 1 $20 cyma-brand high-cap. The gun itself looked and felt like a million bucks- it was heavy for the pistol weight I was used to, but this in no way hampered my use of it, one- or two-handed. The main body of the gun was made of solid plastic which felt perfectly solid and comfortable to grip. If it was dropped from four feet onto concrete, it would probably have a big scratch, but not have any serious damage (don’t test me on that XD). If it was dropped onto soil, I wouldn’t imagine it being damaged at all. The upper barrel and trigger were metal, which weren’t particularly shiny, so they blended in with the rest of the gun quite well. To remove to upper barrel, there was a little button on the back of the pistol where the hammer would be on a different model pistol. Pushing it would release the upper barrel, revealing the slot for the battery. Unfortunately, the battery is shaped much differently from the average battery, you there isn’t much you can do for it along the lines of upgrading or smart chargers. To remove the battery once inserted, there was a level to the side which you could press to eject the battery. I would use a little care when doing this, however, as I once ejected it too harshly, breaking the top of the battery off, which was a pain to deal with. In addition, you should be careful not to charge the battery more than two hours per charge, aside from the very first charge. I overcharged mine constantly, causing the battery life to dwindle down to a few days, even when it wasn’t being used. The magazine was perfect- it holds about 29 BBs, is made of metal, therefore weighing about one-third of what the gun weighs, and has NO PROBLEMS. No fractures, no over-powerful springs, nada. The plastic high-cap, however, isn’t as reliable. At first, mine worked okay. But it didn’t take long before I couldn’t load more than about 30 BB before the spring would shoot them straight out of the magazine as soon as I removed my speed loader from the cap. Thinking it was just a chance defect, I ordered another, only to find it had the same problem. I even removed one of the two connected springs in the magazine, but that still didn’t help. Overall, I would not recommend buying the Cyma-brand high-cap magazine.

  Performance (what you actually care about)
  The fps using high-grade .2g BBs (you should only use high-grade BBs in this, in case you didn’t know) is about 220-250. The ROF for this is spectacular compared to other guns of the same price, being between around 11rps by my estimates, beating even the $100 Pulse R72 that my friends use, as well as perhaps my $125 CM030a M14 Socom. The downside of this is that it burns through a 28-round magazine like wild fire. Soon after buying and using this gun, you learn to keep it on semi-auto and only use full auto when you have a perfect shot. As far as range goes, once the hop-up is dial correctly, I’d say you could get a hit on a man-sized target in one shot at about 80 feet every time. It still works well at 90-110 feet on semi auto, and can go another 20 or so feet on full auto (though that isn’t recommended, as stated above). Like any pistol, it doesn’t have a stock, so it’s less stable when being fired than a rifle, but is much smaller, letting it excel in close quarters.
  This means that, compared to other $50 LPEGs like Double Eagle’s M85, its effective range is a force to be reckoned with. Against higher quality guns on the lower spectrum of effective ranger, it will still get you as close as you need to be to get a hit. Compared to the average higher-quality gun, such as an M4 clone, however, the range doesn’t quite cut it, especially if you’re using full-auto (my field has restrictions on auto using more powerful guns, so I didn’t have to worry about that), so this is best used as a sidearm, especially if you’re a sniper. The areas where the CYMA G18C trumps an M4 clone, on the other hand, are CQB, and, of course, price. As stated above, this pistol was really designed for close quarters battles, where its high ROF and compactness give it an edge over even the best AEG.

  Final Comments and Pros/Cons
  I’ve had this gun for about 8 months, put more rounds through it than I care to count, and the only flaw it has so far is that it double-fires about half of the time (that problem didn’t arise for a while; by then I had a new gun). When it does misfire, one BB goes about three-fifths as far as it should, while the other goes about two-fifths as far as it should, making it a blessing in disguise for close quarters, but not so much at long ranges. Besides that, the gun and standard metal magazine still work and look like a charm. The only other complaint I have is the problem with the plastic high-cap mag, as stated above. According to other reviews I’ve read from people who have done so themselves, the gun is upgradable and compatible with Tokyo Marui parts, though it can be a pain to reassemble after being taken apart. So pros and cons:
  Pros
  Solid
  Range (for $50)
  FPS (for $50)
  ROF (period)
  Upgradable (according to other people)
  CHEAP!
  weight (feels nice n solid :P)
  Compact

  Cons
  Build (If you need some kind of full-metal industrial strength gun that can survive being run over by a tank on a unicycle, this isn’t the gun for you)
  ROF (for those of you that need obnoxious amounts of BBs being shot every second)
  FPS (for those of you that need more than just 230)
  Range (for those of you that need the kind of range that only a higher quality gun can grant)
  No stock
  Low capacity

  For a $50 gun, I couldn’t give this anything but a 5/5. However, some may want to use this in battles against bigger guns, so for this, I give it a 3/5 as a primary arm, a 4/5 as a sidearm, and 4.5/5 for purely CQB. To anyone that uses it, though, I would highly recommend spare magazines, though not CYMA’s high-caps.

  This is a nice gun. mine can shoot through the bottom of a soda can. You need to charge for like 4 hrs or until it is getting warmer. I would recomment a high mag or spare clips. the speedloader came in broken but i had about 3 speedloaders, so its all good. They said its a 30 rd. clip,but its about 29. Its not a EBB (ELECTRIC BLOWBACK) but i think that this gun last longer then a EBB. I think i found a cheaper one about $38.00 or something. if u do buy one you can use a discount code: “5off”. its authentic so don’t say its fake. i bought my G18c from there.

  If you are looking for a fun introductory gun, or for a side arm to your primary weapon, this gun is great. FPS is 220-250 with .20 rounds. A head shot at 50-60 feet is quite doable. You can empty the entire 29 round clip within 2 seconds, Impressive! So, a large cap mag would be a good idea if you plan to use full auto often (compatible with tokyo marui G18c parts and accessories). I was pleasantly surprised by the weight of the gun. It feels rather solid and has an almost realistic heaviness about it.

  I had 2 issues: the safety switch is not easy to actuate and the semi-auto / full auto switch was not working at all. The gun was permanently in fully automatic mode. So, I returned it for a new one. The new one had the same issue with the safety switch, but otherwise functioned perfectly! I applied a slight amount of silicone lube to the safety switch and it works very nicely now.

  I would completely recommend this gun as a secondary weapon, or an inexpensive pistol option.

  This gun is really powerful, but don’t buy just for the hammer-it doesn’t actualy do anything. When you cock the gun it automaticaly goes back, but if you don’t cock it you can pull it back.

  pros-
  1. Very powerful
  2. metal parts make it durable
  3. makes a loud noise when you fire, like a real gun
  4. mag capacity is like 17
  5. cool grip
  6. looks cool

  cons-
  1. medium accuracy
  2. button can sometimes fall out, but it serves no purpose
  3. hammer doesn’t do anything
  4. when you shake it some parts sound like their shaking inside

  overall this is a good gun. you have a good capacity magazine and it is powerful enough for an airsoft war.

  this gun is hella good. it shoots powerfully and feels super sturdy. this is an awesome buy for only 12 bucks. this thing shoots fast but it curves around 30-40 feet which is fine by me. the hammer is tight and even though it doesnt load the gun it just looks cool to cock it. then you can take off the slide and even though the gun looks kinda funky in the pics with the chrome barrel, it looks hella boss once you actually see it. this is a super good gun and my magazine actually holds 20. it is nice and heavy and hurts alot. good for shooting with your friends cuz it also looks more intimidating. awesome gun and for 12 bucks easy 5 stars

  This gun is bad. It has terrible accuracy and is pretty weak. It you want it to go kind of far, you have to aim upward and it gets annoying. Also, there are pieces that rattle in the inside. Some times you can get it to stop but it doesn’t go away. And it doesn’t shoot every time. You can cock it, and it won’t shoot(probably twice a clip) All in all, its just not good. There are better guns you can get for the price…go to Airsplat.com or airsoftmegastore.com or shortyusa.com These are all good sites

  This was a fun little gun for a while. One of the battery springs was messed up so it lasted a while then broke. So I painted the tip black and now it hangs on my wall and is looking cool. Doesn’t hurt bad at all. NOT FOR REAL MATCHES.

  My son wanted to purchase this item with his own money despite my skepticism, After receiving the first one, which didn’t work, we returned it only to receive another one, which broke within a couple of days. Don’t waste your money!

• 15 Denison

  Let me tell you that this gun is very good . Works great but it doesnt have a good accuracy.Semi and full auto are both good.For 10 $ this gun great.

• 16 MacKinnon

  You get what you paid for!…a piece of junk. Price says it all. Good for display only if you don’t own the real thing so, we all should stop complaining and wasting our money and time writing negative reviews on this item.

• 17 Flanagan

  IF you don’t know what fps is its feet per second now i can dodge a 200 fps air soft gun with ease now this is a tenth of that know imagine how easily it will be to dodge this air soft gun and if you want to know the exact fps then maybe you should try walking along with the BB with with one o those devices that measure fps

  This airsoft pistol is just horrible. It broke during the first week I had it. Do not but this gun!
