G&G FAR 9 Rapid Folding PCC Airsoft AEG Rifle
(Color: Black)

"All optics MUST be placed on the handguard. The barrel is not fixed to the receiver and there is some play to the entire rifle. After 10,000 rounds and my first game of airsoft I was thoroughly impressed with this piece of equipment. However after it's first game I realized the play in the barrel drastically effects overall accuracy as the gun literally bends if you place too much pressure on it. But after placing all optics on the handguard (Sightmark red dot and generic laser/flashlight), accuracy went up to 99% from about 95%. I was no longer wondering why some shots were overshooting, it was because of how I was holding the gun. Now it really doesn't matter if I shoulder or fold the stock when shooting, all shots are on target! There are some screws and metal posts that should be coated with thread locker. The stock was delivered loose which I had to tighten, and the screws and post in the folding mechanism of the handguard came loose after about 2000 rounds. I'm sure there are more but just like any real gun, you have to watch for these things falling out or it's gonna have a full-paid weekend vacation at the repair shop. This is my first airsoft rifle but I also have 5 years of real firearm experience and 10 years of speedball experience. I wish I had started a long time ago but the selection of equipment (guns) was very limited compared to what you can buy today. Very happy with this as my first airsoft rifle, and very happy to be a part of a great community! Safety first, always treat these guns as if they were real, playing with the trigger on these can lead to accidentally doing it with a real gun. P.S. Paintball is dying :( Been playing for 25 years, it's sad to say it's time to let go.

"Bone Stock this things bangs.

This is my go to CQB weapon, preferably with the stock folded. If you like quick room sweeping this is the gun for you.

The trigger rps on semi is actually fantastic for stock but be warned if you go to fast you can lock up the piston and would have to replug the battery too cycle.

For $260 if the mosfet doesn’t blow up this gun is on par with specna arms quality and might even be the better deal

Same goes with the FAR 556

The rest of time will show how well the internals last but wel over 20k shots through and she’s pumpin

"Extremely cool and unique, especially the special edition colors. The chrome colored metallic parts you see are REALLY sweet and plenty robust. If you want something beyond the tacticool grey blacks and shades of grey, this is perfect.

Plastic feels alright - but makes the weight feel VERY well balanced. Most of the weight is on the receiver, which makes it feel great to heft over other full metal guns. Length is a bit long for CQB but the folding stock makes it solid to grip.

Folding gimmick is nice. The handguard/front barrel has a tension locking mechanism that pulls it snug against the receiver, very well designed. I wouldn't do it too much, as you kinda bash the hopup unit on the way out if you're not pulling the tab mechanism awkwardly so collapsing it smoothly is a bit difficult. Nevertheless, the barrel and receiver sit FLUSH and fine as long as you appropriately lock them together with the tensioning mechanism. You'll have to pull the tab back and snap it in when "reextending" the barrel and putting it onto the receiver.

Responds well to 11.1v, extremely fast trigger response, loud and satisfying. Beautiful exterior (on the colored variants, have Macaroon Blue) but came with a few cosmetic dark marks that mostly wiped off. Unfortunately the proprietary mags don't like them I don't think. Had a few times they stop feeding half way through a mag, resulting in you needing to let go and fire again. To my knowledge they only work with the new FCCM mags for the ARP9 (the one included with the gun), don't know about other ones or the older ones, and they are PRICEY per mag.

Battery space is...bad. 105mm x 19mm x 16mm - a 1000 mah 11.1V 20c li po battery just BARELY fits. You WILL be crimping a wire in the process. A 7.4 LI-on titan battery nunchuck does NOT fit. Given the length of the stock brace and its folding length, i see no reason the stock compartment couldn't have been reasonably larger to accomodate Li-Ons and larger MAH batteries.

Overall, extremely good gun, magazines leave something to be desired and the battery space could be better. Limits overally flexibility, but an excellent novel weapon. Great gun to add to the collection, not the best starter unless you're committed to the platform and these limitations.
