General Comments

I brought an Anics Skif A-3000 F1 E as I wanted more fps which it lives up to. I took it out of box and was impressed with the appearance, so I loaded the gas pod and then the mag (empty mag just in case of jams) but no go, the mag was far to stiff and it would not fire nor the gas was pushing through. So I thought maybe the CO2 pod had not popped. I took it out to find it had and the gas went spewing everywhere, so I tried again to no avail, still jamming and when I took the mag out and fired to let out some gas, it wouldn't even do that.

I only had it 5 mins and was really annoyed, so I took it back to the gun store and even the guy there said it was a dud (lemon). He kindly said I could get another one but I was totally unsold on this product so I paid him an extra 20 bucks for a Desert Eagle Magtech which is mean, no probs at all. It might not be as powerful as the Anics Skif but at the end of the day, it works. Quality over quantity! I'm not saying Anics is a bad product but it's the luck of the draw with these gas repeaters. I will wait longer to see how the next generation of Anics will perform before buying.
