1)The problem with the hop is that it isn't fitted correctly. Mine came without a hop up rubber, but I have heard someone's has come with it the wrong way round. It's only a minor issue, and can be fixed cheaply

2)I wouldn't use a lipo as the gearbox is only a standard one, not upgraded or strenghtened
2b) I am using an 8.4v which seems to be alright, no problems yet (i've had it for about 6 months)

3) someone has done that, and it cracks the metal magwell. The same damage has been shown on a ww2 real-steel version!

Though to be honest, for £250, ITS A PPSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
buy it.

Re: questions about Hexagon PPsh

Right I have one, my girlfriend has one and I know many others with them.

None have came missing parts of the hop however replacing the rubber or simply changing the nub for an element "H" nub seems to drastically improve the range/accuracy and only costs a couple of quid.

I would not run an 11v lipo without fear of causing damage it's a standard CYMA M14 gearbox and while these are awesome gearboxes, they are not designed for uber high speeds.

I've ran mine off a 7.4v lipo as others I know have without a problem normaly I just use an 8.4v NIMH though. The stock will not take anything physically bigger than an 8.4v mini out the box but again there is no problem with this.

While it is a nice heavy sturdy beast DO NOT SIT ON THE GUN as others have said, and making no assumptions about the size of yourself, you will probably break the gun if you did this for any amount of time/actually putting pressure on it this way.

Other than that it's an epic gun with the standard hop rubber and H nub mine ranges as well as any other gun on field with decent accuracy to boot.

The mags from the first lot could do with some work to get working perfectly but if you're buying a new one should be second gen with the fixed mag.

One minor issue I should point out is that the fire select can sometimes lock between semi and auto when moving it, all you have to do is open the top and prod the little arm from the fire select till it jumps back in place, you may want to add a small sheet of plasticard or similar to the interior stock wall to stop it having room to jump out but this is an uncommon minor issue and shouldn't put you off!
