BTW, I should specify that the issue with the hopup rubber is that it's very hard - designed for 380+ fps velocities. Make no mistake about it - this gun was designed for 400+ fps velocities out of the box. They just installed a soft spring. I just barely nudge my hopup setting on a hair to get all the hop I need shooting .28g BBs. I find that with .2, even with minimal to no hopup some shots can over-hop and lead to accuracy problems. There are 3 easy fixes for this if it happens to be an issue on your gun -

1. Only use quality .25g+ BBs (cheapest and easiest "fix")

2. Upgrade to a more powerful spring that will yield 375-400 fps (this will likely be most peoples' solution)

3. Switch the hopup rubber and bucking to a softer type if you plan of leaving the mechbox stock or install a sub-350 fps spring.

So I would hardly consider that to be a "problem" with the gun. The only problem I've encountered is the shitty mini connector for the batttery under the dust cover. The wires tend to pull out of it easily. I'm eventually going to switch that to deans connectors anyway, so not an issue. Otherwise, this is as good as it gets and I would recommend this gun over anything else on the market if you like AKs. No other AK, even upgraded, can touch this thing.
