Got mine yesterday, from having a little play around with the gun very nice, I was expecting a crap battery but I seem to be finding myself surprised by it, a 1100mah Ni-HM not a 600mah Ni-cd like the manual says.
On first use the battery made some fizzing noises when it was worked hard, but the battery seems to be in fine condition. It had some condensation on the plastic wrapping that hold the cells together, so I'm putting it down to the humid climate the battery was made in, and the heat of it working just cooking off that moisture. Sounds bad but it's nothing to worry about. If that’s the case a few more good work outs and it’ll be moisture free.

The charger is a pain with its two pins (UK man) but a soldering iron and some solder means you rewire a 3 pin plug to it, and remove the 2 pins using one of the holes for the new plug wire :P seems to work fine.

As for the gun, well, as everyone’s been saying; great gun, identical if not better than the TM, maybe not as reliable but don’t know only just got it so time will tell. It’s getting used this weekend so that'll be its first real test for me and looking forward to it from the feedback I've read here and other forums.

Get one if you don’t have one, you won’t be sorry! Top gun and a lot more sexy than any M4, and it based on European gun which is always better in my books lol :P and cheep too boot!
