[Ensemble] Réplique du fusil Mitrailleur Type 96 - Real Wood [Golden Eagle] + Chargeur Acier Hi-Cap Flash pour Mitrailleuse Type 96 [Golden Eagle]

Very nice and pretty replica the details are just stunning and very wel build and jet again a great service from Taiwangun
Out of the box the replica shoots great a real machine gun to suppress the enemy

A huge magazine, but nicely made. The body is made out of steel and the pull string has a nice nub on the end for easy usage. Some of the design choices are a bit ...wrong. The main doors should be hinged on the other side (at the front) and the locking tabs should be a bit beveled/rounded for easier insertion.

It's steel and heavy. Feeds perfectly. It wobbles a bit in the replica. I would prefer for the doors to be more secure (if you are not carrying it upright they myte open and spill out the bbs).
Also, the string is located inside the magazine (under the door hinge) and it is hard to pull it sometimes (not much room for your fingers).

A great LMG replica with some issues.
In the box you have the replica, removed flash- hider and a cleaning rod and the manual.
Externals:
Parts are machined nicely, but they are not secured well - you'll be doing some glueing (outer barrel, bayonet lug part, stock).
There are a few steel parts (front sight, bypod legs, part of the outer barrel (where the carry handle is afixed), magazine, trigger guard housing, some nobs/levers) but most of it is cheap lite metal. The charging handle does not move - some fileing needed.. It has lots of things to play with (levers, nobs, flaps).
Internals: The barrel is too long for the cylinder, hop-up is the dial/large wheel type. Nozzle has no o-ring (21,24 mm long), gearbox looks like a V6 type. Air seal in the cylinder is perfect, but the piston is plastic. It also has 8mm steel bushings, shimming is good. The micro switch is also a nice touch (it is not part of the gearbox)
Out-of-the-box it was shooting with 1,2 J with 0,30g bbs.
To me it looks like a copy of a S&T, but for the half of the price. Feeds nice, sounds nice, feels great.

Love this type 96, very unique airsoft gun. Built like a tank, rock solid! Had to paint over orange on tip of flash hider. (In USA) shoots very well. Another great buy from Taiwan Gun. They never let me down.
