I ordered two of these. I had one modded by ZeroOne with high-speed motor and gears, piston and piston-head and a mosfet. I asked for around 350fps with hop-up around 50% on. What I got was 330fps with zero hop-up, making the gun pretty much useless for skirmishing. The other one is stock and does 350fps with zero hop-up. Here's where the mystery begins. I stuck a Systema M120 spring in mine, thinking that would bring it up to par. It dropped the fps to around 230. Wth! Put a G&G Green Bucking in, no joy. I rang the ZeroOne guys and they said possibly because the gearbox is long it might not be compressing the spring enough and to try a spacer. I put a 15mm spacer in, no difference. S&T make a big deal about the quick-change spring system...yeah, for what spring? Their stock spring is totally not like any regular AEG spring I've ever seen, it's about 3cm shorter and very thick-wired. I'm guessing it might be some kind of linear M150+ monster. Very poorly finished too. To conclude: if all you want is the gun as it comes in the box (aka my son's one) it'll probably be fine, but if you want mods to increase power/rof/reliabilty I'd have to say steer clear as they appear to rob power (as is the case with mine). I'm not impressed with what cost me £466. Oh, and it drains a 9.6v NiMh in one and a half mags of ammo (at approx. 1700 fill per mag).
