Positive aspects of the product (pros):	large magazines as standerd,is easily customized for the user
Cons:	large,a bit pricey,not good in enclosed enviroments,bland

The SG1 is a G3 varient.It's purpose was a weapon for sniper's spotters to give covering or supporting fire as the sniper falls back,yet still keep them at arms length.

The Sg/1 is a,in my opinion,a very good gun.It can easily be adapted to the two extreme's of Airsoft.Sniping or Ramboesque spraying.Yet because of its size not the best choice when tight spaces are expected,but if your using this gun how its supposed to be used you shouldn't find yourself in these situation.

The SG1 arrived in a polystyrene case with cardbored lid,protecting it from the bumps and scrapes you can get when its being transporting.It arrived with a 70 round magazine,battery,charger and 125 0.25 bb's to tide you over until you can get some more.

Everything fitted snuggly in its place.The only problem being that the gun could not be placed in its box with the butt plate on.Yet this only means less than 5 minutes hasty assembly when it arrives at its destination.

The accessories that come as standerd were an attached bipod and a cheek rest to allow easy sniping.Yet no scope,but this is understandable,as well as all the usual instruction manuels and a few paper targets.

The large battery copes well with the eg700 motor meaning a good day of shooting.
The Hop-up is accessible by using the cocking lever and can easily be adjusted.

It has a good rate of fire,its shots going at roughly at 270 fps which is not as powerful as most sniping weapons,but this is a hybred so I think a loss in power is acceptible.
However there is one main features that I do not like about this gun.One being its safety catch which does lock,but it does not feel like it,the letters "S(afe) E(single) and F(automatic) also seem out of place as the lever goes past them instead of on them.
Also it is very bland which many people do not like but it suits me fine.As I believe guns are supposed to be clincal.

Overall I thought this was a very good buy
