I've seen a lot of plastic airsoft guns that are good enough for playing out in the woods with friends and that will stand up to a few drops.This is not one of those guns. Usually I will buy the cheaper pistols, and spend extra dough on rifles. I found this gun at an excellent deal and decided to give it a shot. It was cheap, so I didn't care so much. I'm not sure if this is the type of quality that consumers expect on a cheap airsoft rifle $[...], the shoddy build quality was a little surprising, even for this price. I'm by no means an expert "airsofter" but I know crap when I see it.However, if you want to buy something that looks pretty so you can display it, and that's all it will be for, then go for it. It certainly looks nice. If you want to buy a gun that will hold up when playing around with friends, then look elsewhere.
