CM.097 Upgraded Version [CYMA]

The CYMA gun is an outstanding airsoft gun that's sure to impress even the most seasoned players. With its exceptional performance, realistic design, it's perfect for those looking for a top-of-the-line airsoft experience. While the price may be steep for some, the value you get from this gun far outweighs the cost.

I highly recommend this airsoft gun to anyone looking to take their gameplay to the next level!

I've been using the CYMA CM.097 upgraded version for several games and it has been outstanding. The external build is solid, featuring high-quality aluminum receivers and comfortable polymer grips and stock. Internally, the precision barrel and reliable gearbox ensure consistent performance. I recommend a few affordable upgrades, like the hop-up and nozzle, to really maximize its potential. This airsoft gun offers excellent value for both beginners and advanced players. Highly recommended for its performance and build quality.

I would like to add more comprehensive review for this replica after more then 2 months of using it, because it really does deserve it. It really performs amazing and after just a few upgrades and tweaks I really cant wish for a better gun to play with.

A bit about the replica from my experience:

Externals:
Everything on this replica seems solid and well made. Both of the recievers are very high quality aluminium and feels great to touch and the finish quality can be even compared to the likes of Magpul. Polymer parts like the grip and stock have really good feel to them as well and everything just falls in place perfectly. Also the stock has large enough space for batteries up to 2500-3000 mAH.

Internals:
Barrel+Hop-up: Barrel is standard better quality brass barrel that shoots straight and really nothing wrong with it as a stock barrel, I did however changed it for better steel quality Maple leaf barrel to improve the accuracy. I would also recommend changing the hop-up bucking and nub as on most of the stock replicas, its 15 eur worth of upgrades but it really makes a huge difference. The metal rotary hop up unit on this replica is very decent and solid, can handle higher weight bbs too.

Gearbox: The amazing gearbox in this replica is really what you paying for and why this is a no-brainer for beginners and advanced players alike. All of the components are on very high level and really dont need almost any upgrades. What I did upgrade was a nozzle for one with o-rings on it, as the stock one doesnt have any. This is upgrade worth of 5 eur and greatly improves air seal and the FPS consistency. Otherwise all components are great and can perform equaly to guns with double of the price.
I have also put an ETU board(Leviathan) into mine just for extra settings, but the standard ETU is fine as well and can easily handle 11.1V batteries with very crisp trigger response, until you eventually upgrade the ETU.

To sum up: If you are a bit advanced player than deffinitely buy those 20 eur(hop-up + nozzle) worth of extra upgrades to make this replica the best performer for the money, you wont regret it!

There is also multiple options of CM.097 and you cant go wrong with either one. Pick the gun/barrel length that suits your gamestyle the most without compromising anything on the performance.

Amazing gun with amazing build quality! The full metal body feels great and has very well done finish, comparable to aftermarket body parts. Internally the gun is extremly well made too. Only change needeed was in the hop-up bucking and the nub (as in every stock gun) and a nozzle with an o-ring(as in every stock gun). Otherwise it shoots amazingly ootb. The trigger response is great and shoots pretty quickly on semi with 11.1V battery. No ETU problems whatsoever so far.

Definitely TOP gun to buy in this or +100 eur price range.

Overall the gun performs perfectly so far but I did have an issue with the wire on the Deans connector where it came off and I had to re-solder it. The stock is also near impossible to adjust. The Website doesnt list it but It does have a Deans connector. I would recommend a 7.4-volt lipo to avoid burning out the MOSFET.
