CM.706-U Upgraded Version 530 FPS - Black [CYMA]

First of all let me tell you one thing, for the price you get everything you pay for and more.

Pros:
-Good construction, feels rugged and heavy in a good way.
-Stock feels secure, close to no wobble on a fresh replica.
-Plenty of rail for mounting scope, backup scope or whatever have you.
-Shoots as you're told, yes out of the box you get those FPS
-Can hop 0.4 g bbs perfectly ( I haven't any heavier to test )
-Replica comes with 2 additional springs to accommodate field limits (untested by me, since it was fine for me as it is, please select the correct option for your need/field if you order)
-Replica comes with 3!!! mags, I bought an extra one just in case but honestly Taiwangun & Cyma don't cheap out on you at all - they are metal mags too (+you get a cleaning rod and everything)


I have space to shoot ~70m-72m in my back yard -
due to this limitation the max range I can't confirm however I can confidently tell you min 70m out of the box.
The sniper shoots like this:
@30m w/ .4g bb trajectory is flat
@50m w/ .4g bb hopup engages
@70+m trajectory flattens back
Can't confirm further since there's a hill in the way L.

(And this is not hokus-pokus I measured this with GPS from shooting position to target - not eyeballing.)
Naturally this is just the way the hopup is set now, I might lower it since I feel like I won't hit 70m shots at my field anyways - however with this test I can say that the out-of-the-box hopup does work nicely.



Cons:
-The Hopup is NOT located on the side, the website is inaccurate. This replica came with the standard "inside the gun next to the magwell" type of shitty L96 hopup - meaning you need an allen-key(The replica comes with a perfect sized one for this and an other one for parts so do not worry in this sense)
However due to this adjusting the hopup is tedious & more difficult to do accurately + you need tools.

-Pulling the bolt needs a lot of force, expected for the spring however it was still a surprise

-The rubber "padding" is hard on the shoulder, ouch - but you can get around this with some technique

-It is possible and relatively likely (1/20 chance atleast) to misfeed the replica

In this case what happens is that the bolt catches a bb however fails to lock, requiring either herculian strenght to lock back or simply let it pull back forward, then pull back nicely, in this case it will double feed (funnily enough it shoots pretty nice even with 2 bbs @20-30m haha)
To clear this error simply remove the magazine, and only then pull the bolt thus you prevent a second bb from feeding.
Do this every time you fail to fully lock the bolt back and have to pull it again - If you do simply fire the double shot and move on.
This is sadly pretty normal for L96 type replicas.

Moving on,
-You can't attach standard bipods and must purchase ones specially made for this type of replica
-It is not easy to attach slings, but possible
-The replica is heavy, this makes standing aim worse, and can tire you - however this might not concern you at all due to the nature of this replica.
-The bolt has visible wear even after a few days of use and testing, no damage it's just that keeping the bolt perfectly lubed isn't easy and it does wear itself slightly - however other than slight visuals I don't see this affecting performance.

All in all my final review is : AWP go Pew Pew

CM.706-U UPGRADED VERSION 530 FPS
When someone say sniper it reminds me of this replica, it works like well lubricated machine without problems. Very accurate and powerful. I recommend this product from personal experience!!!

I really like this gun, shoots 3,14 Joules with .40 bbs!
With m130 spring it shoots 2,3 Joule on .40 bbs
Only thing what is needed to do on this gun is
A damping centerpad for even more accurate shots,also available on the site for a few bucks

Well built gun, accurate and powerful out of the box. The inner barrel is loose a bit but I will fix that with a bit of 3D printing, and later I probably will get a longer precision barrel for it too.
