After some DIY tips, Pyramyd Airsoft Blog's Tominator gets back to doing what he loves best --- reviewing airsoft guns. He takes the Elite Force M4 CQC Shorty through its paces... "One thing I really dig about the Elite Force M4 CQC is its flip-up sights. They look good, in my opinion, and are adjustable for windage and elevation. The rear sight has two sights, one for close quarter battle (CQB) and one for longer engagements. Definitely a nice touch. One thing to note about these sites is that to deploy them, you only need to press the button on one side or the other. They are ambidextrous, which is another nice touch. I have yet to confirm whether these will be the final design of the sights or if the final production model will include the new Elite Force MBUS-style flip-up sights. Either way, it's a win for shooters.

Lowering our focus a bit to the underside of the M4 CQC's Rail Interface System (RIS), you'll note that this Airsoft AEG comes with a stubby vert grip. I love stubby vert grips and I especially love it when they come with the gun. So naturally, I was pleased to discover this little treat. My other complaint about the stubby vert grip is that it's not really a Quick-Detach (QD) unit. To attach or detach from the rifle, you have to unscrew that knob, either by hand or with a medium-ish flathead screwdriver, THEN you have to pull the bolt out in order to slide the grip off of the RIS. When it's all said and done, chances are that you won't run into issues with this unless you need to swap the grip out with another quickly or put it on another rifle. Since we're only talking a difference of maybe 20 seconds or less, I probably wouldn't even list this as a con. I'm just being picky cuz I have that luxury."

It's a long review and what you're reading are just the excerpts and he will still have the performance test in another post. So Stay tuned.
