This replica will certainly get you killed if used in an irresponsible manner. The detachable 60 round magazine, barrel and bipod are steel, while the body is tough ABS plastic. With the battery in place, the weight and balance of the rifle are excellent. All the extras work as they should. The grenade launcher, bipod, and peep sights are as real as they get.
Operation is simple.
With the battery installed inside the forward grip, flip the selector switch under the buttstock from safe to either single fire or full auto. Then it's time to rock and roll. This weapon is very accurate and easily punches through paper from across a large room. The flip up peep sights are easy to use and can be zeroed by the operator. The dummy charging handle operates like the actual FA MAS as does the bipod.
