Product Information:
Ultimately, you get what you pay for. While this bag will carry your airsoft gun, some mags, and some accessories to wherever you need to go, it is noticeably inferior to some mid-range priced gun bags, and has several obvious design oversights and flaws. While this was purchased as a carry bag for a seldom used CQB backup AEG, in hindsight, it is a regrettable purchase.

Pros:
Fits most stubby/CQB M4s, has two dedicated mag pouches on the outside along with two miscellany pouches, easy to carry either by handle or sling over back. Probably the cheapest gun bag you'll be able to find.

Cons:
The first thing of note is the flimsiness of the bag. There is no padding of any sort to be found, the bag itself seems to just be a polyester inner shell with a fabric outer weaving. This means if you bang the bag against anything, your AEG inside will be taking the brunt of the force.

Also, the velcro strips used to tie your AEG in place are simply 4 evenly spaced very long strips of velcro that are sewn to the bag at the center of each strip. There is no consideration of orientation or placement of an AEG inside: it would be just as suited to carry a viola as it would to carry an AEG. This causes several inconveniences/complications:

One of these strips will inevitably be located where the barrel of the gun is. However, each strip is also close to a foot long. This means you'll have to wrap this strip 3-4 times around the barrel for it to perform any function. Another strip will be directly under the main body of the gun. Since these strips are very stiff and tend to crinkle, it is very hard to position the gun appropriately and tie it down.

Most worryingly, since the strips are only sewn to the bag AT ONE POINT on the strip, there is no structural support. If you tie down your gun as tightly as possible, and then pick up the bag without zipping it up, the gun will immediately flip over and deform the flimsy inner lining of the bag. In fact, due to this, the velcro don't really serve any purpose: your gun will only be held in place by the sheer fact that it is sandwiched between the two sides of the bag.
