10) Notes and Comments
— This was my first real airsoft gun, bought it for CQB at TTAC3, and it saw alot of action. After about 4-5 months of constant use (6-8k bbs) the gun stopped locking back because the soft Zinc mixed slide was wearing, and the nozzle block started to stick. I removed a damaged spring in the block and was back in action for a couple more months before the internals failed. Basically the cheap metals in the hammer/firing area had lots of worn down parts and the chasis part was cracked right through. To repair the gun I'll be ordering a complete hammer section and new nozzle from www.cobraairsoft.com when back in stock. I recommend buying the TM 5.1 instead and upgrading with quality metal parts.
