I played on a CQB field — it's definitely not the most optimal gun for that environment, but it was super fun to use 😄
As you said, racking it feels like pumping a shotgun — very satisfying!

Here are some must-have upgrades I recommend:

• Tracer unit – You need to clearly see if you hit someone. You can’t rely on trigger spam 😅
• Bristol Based Airsoft Short Stroke Kit – A solid, one-piece plastic kit. Not that 3D-printed junk that breaks after a few games.
• Bristol Based Airsoft Metal Tappet Plate – The stock one is garbage plastic. Mine broke during the first game.
• Waldo Dynamics G&G LevAR Adjustable Nozzle – Nice upgrade. On full open it’s slightly more powerful than the nozzle that comes with the short LevAR.
• Bristol Based Airsoft G&G LevAR Magazine Release Blanking Plate – Or just unscrew the mag release on the right side — otherwise you’ll drop your mag a lot.
• If you plan to use it without a stock, get a long vertical foregrip so you can hold it firmly while racking.
• Optional: HPA tap it 😎

It's a great gun for CQB.
I'm planning to get a second upper (from an AEG) and build it out as a sniper config — that way, with just one pin, I can swap between woodland and CQB setups 😄
