I need your guys opinion this is what i decided to order as i watched reviews and it was chronoed at 380. I like it because it is light and will be portable for me as a medic. I want to see what fellow Spartan's think of it.

DON'T!!!! One of my friends bought that gun and it has amazing externals but the internals were garbage. It crapped out and has never worked right since then, right now it has a air leak and is running off a makita drill battery because it runs through the stick batteries too fast. the only way I will ever buy a dboys is if its really cheap and just for the body

If you want an AK, get a CYMA...you will have NO regrets what so ever, they are fantastic guns.

I have been looking at reviews and i think it will be ok ill just have to be careful with it. I'm guessing it just happened to be his gun maybe. hopefully.

dont let fps be your desciding factor on which gun to chose. if you are going to get a gun around 160 look for a budget version of good manufacturers such as a combat machine from G&G (140 bucks) or a sportsline from classic army.

If you're going to ignore all the advice given to you, why even ask other people's opinions? Dboys internals have a terrible reputation, the only person I know who's ever had good luck with them was Grim with his SCAR. That's one person out of MANY. The plain and simple truth is, Dboys guns WILL break. Buy a CYMA AK and you will probably be a lot happier.

Full metal, real wood...for $145. Yes I know its evike, yes I know its preorder...but the gun is out of stock on airsoftgi. :(

After selling pics of Joker on his boat in his driveway on EbaY, the vehicle is fixed for now, so I will be out to play

Its not that I'm not taking their advice its just I have heard 95% good things about D-Boys so I got it and then wanted to see what everyone else thought. These are the ONLY bad reviews i have seen and none of the other reviews mentioned that the internals were bad. I'm giving it a shot.

The reason Grims still works is that somehow it has a classic army gearbox in it, don't buy the dboys unless you want to spend alot more repairing it, try g&g or even echo 1

and those reviews are probably all first impressions and right out of the box, and the gun had not been fielded

i had a dboys m4 for 1 game and it locked up... nothing some internal work cant fix but unless you know how to fix a gear box you will have to pay someone to do it. get a gun that is fundamentally sound and dont worry about the fps and that shit, or even full metal bodies, they are very realistic but are not worth getting a d boys over a combat machine. like i said look at G&G, CA and other high quality guns.

If you get a DBoys its going to break sooner or later. Tool Box's friend's broke, Coyote's broke, yours will break. Waste your money if you want to, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Wait for it...

I will vouch for that gun. I have used it, in game, and the rifle is a fu*king beast.
