True backyard fun: the UTG airsoft M14

Guns Magazine,  June, 2008  by J.I. Galan

<< Page 1  Continued from page 1.  Previous | Next

As in most top-shelf softies, this model incorporates a hop-up mechanism allowing you to adjust the BBs trajectory by giving it more or less backspin. Increasing the hop-up adjustment basically can give the BB a flatter, straighter trajectory. Hop-up usually consists of an adjustable constriction in the barrel breech. The UTG airsoft M14 is definitely a winner all-around. In looks, performance and overall quality, this softie gets top marks, and with a suggested retail price just under $150, it sure is priced most competitively, indeed. Just remember to maintain a vast supply of top-quality 6mm BBs on hand, because this fun-gun sure is hard to put down.
