HFC USP
NOTE: I do not own this gun, but my friend did. He broke the slide (his own fault, not the gun). The last time I used it was nearly a year ago. This evalutation is from memory alone, but for the most part should be fairly accurate.
Appearance/Feel: 9/10 Great feeling gun. Very solid and lots of metal parts. Not much logos, but I wouldn't care too much about that. Compact, and HEAVY, making it feel very realistic. The slide looks good, the rest of the plastic is not shiny, but could be flatter.
Function: 7/10 Working safety, and a really smoothe slide pull. The magazine is not that easy to load, from what I remember. Even though my friends broke, I would expect it to last a long time.
Performance: 7/10 This gun lacks power and distance. The accuracy isn't too bad from what I remember, but I wouldn't recommend using this in a woodland spring skirmish. It is very weak, you can put it right on your palm and shoot and it will not hurt at all (results may vary with panzies). Good for CQB and plinking around the house.
Overall: 8/10 Not for skirmishing, but great to plink with and add silencers, lasers, ect. If you want a realistic gun, or just want to play around with I would suggest this. 20$ at www.airsoftatlanta.com

UHC P228 (LW)
Appearance/Feel: 8/10 Being the first LW I have ever held, it is heavier than I assumed it would be. Very compact and sturdy (looks like a USP and G17 combined). It is a good matte color, but the slide feels sort of "plasticy" (atleast more so than the M92F). It has a few logos and an open-ejection port. The piece of plastic covering the ejection port is sort of flimsy, but shouldn't do anything if you dont screw around with it.
Function: 8/10 Has the usual UHC mag capacity, open-ejection port, and a working safety. It has a smoothe barrel pull and very little distance to travel, making it very quick and easy to cock and shoot. The compact size makes it a great back-up weapon to hide in some small pocket, and then pull out for one last fight after being captured or having your primary weapon taken away for interrogation (ahhhh yes! how I love mil-sim). If only it was a HW.
Performance: 7/10 For being a very small and compact gun, it is very poweful. The range is descent, at 50 ft. you could probably hit a man sized target (haven't skirmished with it yet). The only problem is the accuracy. I don't know if its just me, or the sights on the gun, but it curves to the left an inch or two from 10 feet back. From 50+ feet back it goes up and to the left. Once you get used to it you can shoot accurately though. I think the hop-up is set for .12's but it might not curve so much if you use heavier bbs. Luckily my friend got some crosman .20 grams from a sports store, and will probably work great with it.

UHC M92F
Appearance: 8/10 Very nice looking pistol. Great flat color, good size and weight. Not too many metal parts showing, but its definately not cheap plastic. Good amount of logos and detail; open-ejection port, safety (wich is non-functional), lever for field stripping, ect.
Function: 7/10 Magazine capacity is around 17 or 18, you might be able to fit some more in, but I haven't tried. The slide pull is good. It is easily field stripped. It might be just me, but after I shoot for a little while it irratates my shooting hand right between my thumb and index finger and leaves a very annoying mark, but wearing some gloves will fix that. As I said the safety dosn't work, but the slide catch works as a safety would. It is possible to modify the slide catch saftey so it actually locks the slide.
Performance: 9/10 This gun has very good accuracy, but I haven't tested for range yet (I haven't had a chance to to skirmish with it yet, and you can only get so much distance in your backyard). I can easily hit a 3' circular target at 20 feet away, and less than 1' thick and 3' tall glue stick at 10 feet away. I haven't tested the range yet, but I shot it at my garage from around 50' away and hit very close to wear I was aiming (from what I could see). I'm not sure of the FPS, I have heard some people say over 200 and some as low as 170, so I dont want to say any specific number. Hopefully I will crono it and find out
Overall: 8/10 I would have to say this is probably one of the best low-priced spring pistols available and the perfect gun for a beginner. It is very good in nearly every aspect and has few flaws (for a spring pistol).

Crosman Walther P99
Appearance/Feel: 8/10 Very solid. It has a very interesting grip that feels really good to hold. Quite a few logos, including "Walther", "P99", and "6mm". The silver slide is sort of shiny, I don't think it matter too much though. Has a open ejection-port, ambidexterous slide release, slide catch, and safety.
Function: 7/10 One of the biggest problems of this gun is the small mag capacity (13). Another little con is that the safety is functional, but will brake the trigger if you pull it in safe mode. Slide pull is very smoothe. It automatically catches the slide when you have spent all the ammo.
Performance: 8/10 It has some good power behind it. The range I would compare to a UHC M92F. The accuracy is a little off (goes up). Can hit a person at about 50 feet max.
Overall: 8/10 I am very surprised with the quality of this good, it is awesome! Because it can be found at most sport stores and is only (comes with free sticky target :) it is great! I would definately suggest this gun to someone who does not want to order a + Asian brand gun (not counting shipping), and then have to wait for it to come in.

TM Mk23 & USP
Note: The TM Mk23 & USP are nearly identicle in terms of build and performance. The USP does shoot somewhat better though, because it is smaller and the spring can be compressed more. Otherwise this review accounts for both guns.
Appearance/Feel: 9/10 This gun is very good looking with A LOT of trades and on orange paint. It is very sturdy, but the only downside is it's weight. It is very light, probably as light or maybe a little more than a UHC LW. Besides that it is great looking. It is very good material and a great flat color.
Function: 7/10 The obvious flaw is the lack of hop-up. It does have a good magazine capacity (around 23). It is huge!, making it hard to carry around, but that is good for some and bad for others.
Performance: 7 1/2/10 For not having hop-up it is still actually pretty good. You can hit a man-size target from about 50 max, making it compete with most other springers (excluding TM HGHU). It's performance is close to a UHC, and probably better than a HFC. It is very accurate, but does start to drop past 40 feet or so, so you should aim up a little to get accurate shots. Hits pretty hard.
Overall: 8/10 I would reccomend this gun to someone who wants a gun that can go up against a UHC or HFC, but does not want to use one. For a price of or sometimes even less, it isn't that bad. If you want something really good, get the TM Mk23 HGHU, it's twice as good, but costs twice as much.

UHC MP5SD3
Looks/Feel: 8/10 This gun has a very nice size and weight to it. Good detail, but not too many logos. The only words are "made in taiwan" and the letters on the selector switch. Has a working safety, no open-ejection port, and retractable stock. The stock is solid, but has some play. With stock retracted this gun comes out to be close to 2'1/2 feet long and close to 2 feet with it in. Everything is a nice flat black besides the magazine which is very "plasticy".
Function: 8/10 The one flaw in this gun is the magazine, it can only hold 20 bbs and has no stopper, making carrying extra mags hard, but necessary. The sight has differnent holes to look through, the biggest hole is easy to aim, but loses accuracy, while the smallest is just the opposite. Cocking is very easy and very fast.
Performance: 9/10 This gun is very accurate and has great range. It can hit a man-sized taget at up to 100 feet. From 20 feet you can get 5 inch groupings (or better). It can penetrate the side of a soda from a few inches away.
Overall: 9/10 Simply put, the greatest spring rifle for it's price. As low as this gun is very inexspenisive and very good. If your getting your first spring rifle (even though this is a SMG), get the UHC MP5SD3.
