The Matrix is similar to other revolver grenade launchers we have seen in the past but with a few notable improvements. The outer barrel of the Matrix is constructed from aluminium and has a threaded tip, meaning more realistic handling, though we don't think there are any suppressors for this monstrously largethread!

Overall, the gun is well put together, feeling quite solid in hand with no creaking or loose parts that we could notice. Outer Barrel The G&G ARP556 is G&G's answer to requests to make the much lauded ARP9 in a 5.56mm receiver configuration, with the same robust, well-finished metal body found on G&G's CG series of AEGs.

The gun ships with a fairly tight spring (something like a M155) as well, and together these help the ARP deliver impressive performance and helps compensate for the guns shorter barrelBeyond its power, the ARP9 also delivers a relatively high RPS (21-22) and is highly accurate, being able to nail center mass at 150 feet out with little issue. Solid internals and build quality The ARP9’s motor is a long-type Ifrit 25000 G&G, a high quality choice that delivers decently high torque. It is made of reinforced polymer and rides on twin alloy bars which adds a little extra durability and stability to the platform. Suggested limits are based on Joulage Limit rules used Halo Mill: Proving Grounds, and is the equivalent of 350fps, using 0.20g BB resulting in an upper limit of 1.14j. Velocity

Although it is very cool, lightweight and less likely to snag in CQB games, the M-LOK handguard does require an extra step to attach accessories. Users have to first attach a rail to the M-LOK before adding an accessory, which can slow things down a bit. Bottom LineThe ARP9’s magazines are proprietary, which means they don’t take just any G&G 9mm-style mag and can be kind of expensive as a result. Price

The other argument one usually reads is that the 556 is metal/aluminium, while the arp9 is polysmthg (plastics), does it really make such a difference, like Ive read that the arp9 is quite sturdy and doesnt break easily, so isnt it a point for the arp9, since it weights less?As an AEG that is based on the AR platform, maintenance with the G&G ARP9 is pretty straightforward.
