    Not Set! Not Set!

I did some shopping around looking for a cheap little electric airsoft gun to play around with, just for fun, and i found what was seemingly a nice little gun on hobbytron, it said it was on clearance for regularly 46.00 but for 23.95. well, i wouldn't pay more than $5 at a swap mart for this! first of all, it claims to come with a 'hi-cap' magazine that holds 110 rounds, but it came with one that holds 20. also, it claimed to shoot at 200 fps, well my neighbour, who's an avid paintball player had a chrono, and he let me us it, and the gun clocked an astonishing (sarcasm) 78fps!!! the the rear sight is like a 1/4 inch too far left and it wobbles, and the front sight pin was broken off in the box, probably because of the seemingly poor packaging, i ordered the gun and a few bags of bbs and it came in a box 3x too big with nothing to keep the items from moving around, they just shook around freely, and other thing about shipping, i placed my order on a wednesday night, it didn't even leave until the next tuesday! and it took forever to get here from then, but i blame that on UPS, even though it came from california and I'm in arizona, it still took 6 days. Now, a few days ago i was looking for an entry level gun to do some skirmishes with my friends and i was looking at the BOYI M4 RIS 203 gun, better known as BI-M4-3181. well on hobbytron, the gun was 75.00 and after shipping it came to be around 90. well, all my friends use airsplat.com and i looked on there, and did loads of price comparing and it turned out they were cheapest at 59.95, and with shipping was around 74.00, less than just the gun at hobbytron, i went ahead and ordered it along with a red dot scope, a top rail mount, and a bag of 8,000 bbs for $3 more then just the gun and shipping at hobbytron, then, i placed the order late thursday night, and i got an email saturday morning stating that it had left, and on tuesday i got the package. which was packed very nicely and everything was in great and working condition when i opened it.
