Positive aspects of the product (pros):	SOUND, SOUND, SOUND
Cons:	Nowt

I have been playing Airsoft for over a year, playing twice a month every month at the Urban Assault sights near Peterborough. I love Airsoft, a full day out playing some great scenario gaming � guess what was missing?? Realistic guns - no, good game scenario - no, good gear � no, the sound the guns make- Yes. It is possibly the worst aspect of the whole detail of Airsoft, up until now!
The Tokyo Marui AKS74U fills the gap with the blowback feature, boy it rocks. I played a full day urban with an ear to ear grin as the sound and performance of this gun is superb. It even inspired me to play more aggressively as you just want to pull the trigger!
This gun gets compared to the VFC variant. I did look at the VFC in the shop but one thing that stood out was the same sewing machine whine and dodgy magazines, they are thinly constructed and i have heard they can snap of if knocked hard enough. The choice was really made when I test fired the TM Ak.
I�m not too good with tech specs of guns so here is a summary of its features.
� The range this gun was hitting targets was about 100 ft with a grouping of around 4 inches.
� High cap mags are 480 and come in black. The magazines are plastic and older TM AK mags are not compatible
� The battery compartment is in the hand grip and this is plastic
� The gun is metal � a light weight metal
� Very light , very stable
� Good build quality
� It takes 8.6 v battery � i have two and they lasted me a full day. I usually run a CA SAR with a 9.6 v battery and i could not tell the difference
� Not a tight grouping and this could be due to the recoil mechanism

If your going to buy one gun make it this gun.
