    What do you hunt with this round?

      @Ken I would feel comfortable taking deer within a hundred yards with this round.(not with the subsonics) remember it has the velocity and energy of the 30-30. Hogs are another good use for this round.

      Most of all of course, this round is excellent for culling the zombie horde when using the subsonics at night.

    Yes it's UTG. It's their newest rail system. It's manufactured in the US by an unknown company. It's not following MIL1913 standards and it's still making profits for a foreign airsoft company but it looks like they're heading in a much better direction.
