Quick review on the flux raider, didn't see a PCC thread up so I thought I'd drop this here since its quasi relevant and some anons might be interested.
>tl;dr: Thoroughly whelming, don't trick yourself into thinking its amazingly superior to a handgun in all categories, but it is better and in some categories it is notably better
Round Count: 200rnds through the raider, 50 through a G19 for comparison
>fit/finish: A
Pretty good, polymer feels very sturdy and high quality, metal mag releases look like they have some machining marks. Nothing is sharp or unfinished feeling though. The brace has some play but it locks in to the body well under pressure, it isn't like one of those cheap retractable stocks that keeps wanting to shift on you if you blink wrong.
>Manual of Arms/Ease of use: C+
This is something that will definitely take getting used to, There's simply a lot of buttons and levers on the thing. The monkey parts of my brain definitely wants to default to using the double mag release, its the biggest and most sensibly located. This results in some fun shenanigans where you drop both mags without really meaning to. This doesn't really matter much in practice though as long as you have a grip on the front mag when doing so. The spring loaded stock works quite well, its definitely the most idiot sensitive part of the gun though. I simply can't see using the thing for on body carry with the stock closed without having a single point sling on the brace QD point for pulling it all the way out if you fail to deploy it properly. I feel like I may be a little too critical here, they tried to accomplish a lot in a small space and did an excellent job of that, but there's still just a lot going on in a small space. Not including a safety delete in the box is an outright mistake given the sheer honking size of the things, however this surprisingly didn't result in any difficulties during use or hotspots.
