Hello all

Hello, this is the first review on the site. The HFC USR 11 Sniper Rifle is a relativley low cost airsoft sniper rifle that is very upgradable. It can usually be obtained for not much more than $100. I hope to have more sniper rifle and other airsoft reviews up soon. Enjoy.
HFC USR 11 Sniper Rifle
First Impressions: When I first opened the package this gun came in, I saw a foam cutout of both the receiver/ trigger assembly and the second piece, the abs plastic stock.The two pieces are easily screwed together, and held by two screws in the base, both on either sides of the magazine well. I was surprised the gun did not feel front or back heavy, it was all around bulky. It had some small scars at the tip of the orange barrel(On the inside) but it did nothing to affect performance and seems like many others USR 11s have this issue. It seems like a shipping issue perhaps.
Firing: Well I took the gun outside(with the bottle of high quality .20 bbs I had, and loaded up the magazine. It is the same as the VSR 10 mag. It is slender and fits flush into the stock. It fits 25 rounds and extra mags are pretty cheap. I thingyed the bolt, and was surpirsed the action wasnt that hard(it took a pull, just not what I expected). Apparently this gun comes stock with a 120 spring, but the lead weights(which give the gun its clunk and recoil) suppress the power.Taking out the weights is a fairly easy task, however, and helps fps and range. When I fired the gun, it shot in a straight, powerful trajectory. It hit a tree 100 feet away easily, and Im sure I could hit a man sized target at 120 feet, maybe a bit more. But overall I was impressed.
Flaws: The gun does have flaws though, just like any other. The gun has a shinier stock than the TM VSR 10 it emulates, and this is not that big of a deal. I plan to paint it anyway, so it isnt a problem for me. It comes with no rail or scope either, but I will soon get one once I figure out the scope I want. Its accurate enough that the use of a scope sight could make it more effective than the iron sights. The magazine release button is a bit fiddigity, too, but this problem is not major and opening the gun and repositioning it fixes the problem.
Pros: Upgrades. Plain and simple. Unlike the UTG and UHC sniper rifles in the same price range, this gun can be upgraded with all the parts that the Tokyo Marui VSR 10 series can. Anything from new pistons, to springs to barrels. It can be purchased and upgraded as you go. It offers the most value for $100 something dollars(sniper rifle wise). Although I may take flak for saying this, it is true. The UTG can not be upgraded to go against TM and CA aegs, it doesnt matter how good you are of a player. The UTG looks like a springer next to them. But the USR 11 can be upgraded to a sniping menace. Stcok, it can compete with the UTG and UHCs, but it can be upgraded. It is a force against other better sniper rifles as well, and upgraded it can make for an interesting "sniper duel" against other, higher end rifles.
I hoped you enjoyed this review and it helped you in your sniper rifle descisions.

This review is courtesy of Reyn0lds, it is a review of the UTG Warhawk AEG AK47 which can be purchased at the following link: www.speedytoys.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=720&catid=9New Review: UTG Warhawk AEG AK47- Courtesy of Reyn0lds I just got this gun about a month ago and i love it, its probably the best gun I have ever had. Pro's High rate of fire (850 rpm) High fps (280 w/.2g bb) Awesome accuracy (w/hop-up) Far range (up to 150 ft.) Low cost (only $130.00) 2 High Capacity clips included (holds 350 rnds) Con's Not many metal parts (alot of plastic) Not a very long-lasting battery When i first fired this gun i noticed that it isnt that loud, more quiet than most aegs i have shot. The guns hop-up is very good i shot about 20 shots until i got the right amount of hop up and when i did it was so accurate! I could engage a torso sized object from about 160-170 feet away with most of my shots on full auto. The bullets stay in a nice little circle for about 140 feet then they start to spread apart slightly, which is still very good. This guns rate of fire is awesome, it is my favorite part of this gun. Pulling the trigger for a little more than a second will layer someone. I can honestly say that this gun turned out to be way better than i thought it would. It is the absolute best aeg in its price range and can beat most guns over 200 dollars. Thanks i hope this review helped. Thank you for this review, reyn0lds. Nice job.

Hey hudabon, heres my new commando review:
Opening the box- I picked up this gun, and I quickly noticed how hefty this gun is. This gun looks like a tank, and it is a tank. The gun is very heavy for its size, especially with a full loaded clip and a battery in it. This gun can take a beating, I dropped it numerous times on accident and not so much as a crack on it. The only weak thing that you have to watch out for is the mag release button, it can break rather easily. But putting that aside it is a very sturdy gun, with a sturdy feel.
Shooting the gun-Ok, so after 4 hours of charging (no more than 4 hours) I began to shoot the gun, I just set up a small 12x12 inch diameter cardboard piece about 70 feet away. I shot about 40 to 50 shots first to get the hop-up set right, which is very accurate once you get it in the right spot. So anyways, I set the windage on default, and shot. I hit 9 out of 10, and I have only shot this gun less then a hundred shots. So I went back another 30 feet (100 ft.) And shot 10 more. I hit 7 out of 10, I was amazed, this gun is extremely good. (And I might have actually been further away then 100 ft). So after I tested out the accuracy I decided to start shooting on full auto. This gun is said to shoot 15 rounds a second, but on a full charged battery It might actually shoot more. I just held down the trigger for about 3 seconds, and The cardboard box was completely covered in holes, this thing can really spray some bb's! You cant really use this gun with a standard cap mag, it just shoots far too fast for them.
Guns magazines-Ok, this gun comes with some pretty sucky magazines. Therefore if you buy this gun you need to plan on buying a much better magazine, like a ca or tm. I bought a G&P 150 round high cap magazine, which requires no winding, and feeds perfectly for only 25 dollars off evike.com. The mags feed semi-auto perfectly, but on full auto they only feed about 3 bb's every 10 shots, maybe 5 if you grease the magazine up. So you dont really want these mags unless you are a semi-auto kind of guy. And like I said earlier, this gun shoots far too quickly to buy any standard cap STAR mags, so dont even bother.
Scope/Mount-This gun comes with a scope mount, which grants you the access to use any kind of scope you want. I used a red dot scope on it, and it works fairly well. But I just like to use the iron sites on the gun, which are much easier to use and it is very accurate on this gun. And this gun just doesnt have the range of a sniper to use a real good scope on it, such as a utg 4x32 mil dot scope. The gun comes with the scope mount already attached to it, so if you have a scope then just leave it on, if You dont I will tell you how to remove it. You have to unscrew the mount off first, then there will be a plastic bar screwed to the top metal plate. All you have to do is remove the plate with the button by the stock, then unscrew them, and remove the plastic mount.
Conclusion-If you have 130 dollars get this. It can compete with any gun under 200 dollars, and alot of higher end guns, its a beast for a mid level aeg. And save up another 20-40 dollars for a good magazine. I hope this review/guide to the utg commando was usefull, thanks. Reyn0lds

UTG M87(fullstock) pros: -Cheap i only paid about $30 -has a good weight and feels sturdy -Good begginers gun -Accurate enough where i can hit a himan sized target 100 feet away all the time -hop up works good -tri rail can add scopes laserz,flashlights etc. Also is removable if dont like who it looks. cons: -20 round capacity, but this can be solved by a 180rnd highcap(which can be purchased at speedy toys) -doesnt fire last 2 or 3 -kinda plasticky but hey it was only $30 this is my gun now
