I got my Both Elephant XM8 aeg yesterday. After charging it I tested it out today.
I have to say, HOLY CRAP.
FPS: 260 with .2 bbs
ROF: you can't even see the bb's come out on full auto until impact on the target
Accuracy: Emptied a clip on full auto, and it made one extremely large hole in a grapfruit from 50 ft away. Amazing!
Quality: All ABS except for a few internal pieces, but it is rough and handled falling on cement (yes i tried it)
Magazine: It is clear. Holds 30 rounds and has fake ammunition inside it. Very nice quality.
Skirmish worthy?: I asked my friend to play a few games with his tokyo marui ak47 and his brother, with a tm mp5. I am amazed how well it held up. I won 4/7 games we played. me on them. They were surprised and they both told me that they were buying it.
To put it short:
PROS:
Weighs a hefty 7 lbs.
Telescopic stock
sleek design
holds up extremely well against the real deal AEG's.
The price is golden at $65
The accuracy is spot on
Leaves a welt and makes your friends mad
Compatible with TM gearbox and mag with a little modding.
Has a very loud noise and will surely scare your friends the first time you use it
Has a great semi/auto/safety switch
Left/right hand compatibility
After attaching a laser sight to the barrel, the accuracy is even better.
CONS:
99.9% ABS build
The scope sucks(can be replaced with a good scope)
The mags only hold 30 rds(can connect two clips though)
the desert version(shown above) has a bad paint job, and scratches easily. I'm going to repaint it OD
People will dis the crap out of it, the solution is to shoot them, LOL
Gearbox is plastic(compatible with TM gearboxes)
Altogether I recommend that anyone with $60 buy this gun. It is extremely nice quality and can actually stand up to and sometimes even own people with TM or CA AEG's.
I give it a 4/5
