Manufacturer:
Aftermath
Distributed by GAMO USA.

Model:
"Lycaon"
The "Lycaon" is an MP5F.

MP5F
The MP5F stands for MaschinePistole5 France. H&K wanted to improve the MP5, which resulted with a contract with French manufactures. It has a different retractable stock. It uses rubber pads and has an extra strap holder on it. It also has extra strap holders at the front too.

SpecificationsThere are two forms of this gun - One uses pictures for the firing operation (Safe/Semi/Auto) and one uses words.
Steel Barrel
Steel Gearbox
Steel Front Sight
Approximately 350 Feet Per Second

Accessories:
A 8.4V Mini Battery [S] Pack - The manual states that you should either use a Hyper Command Mini-Battery or a Marui. No SD or AK types. The "Hyper Command" battery is included.

Accessories Included:
A Strap - Pointless Strap. If you jump from an approximate 3 feet distance to the ground, the strap will break.
Gear Engagement Rod - Fine Adjustment
An Irregular 110 Round Mag
Unjamming Rod - You know what this does.
Battery Charger - Charges Battery.
8.4V Battery
Removable Flash Suppressor - It doesn't help except for looks. However, it would be better to take it off because it's all orange. There is an orange tip under the suppressor.
1k BB's - 1000 .2 Gram BB's.

Place of Purchase and Origin:
Bought at Big 5.
It was on sale for $100.
However, if you go on the internet, it will be around $140.
The original price at Big 5 was $130.
The company is at Ft. Lauderdale, FL. (USA)
This was made in... China...

First Impressions:
Woah. 350fps. That's a 200%+ improvement over my friends auto that was $50.
I was quite unsure about buying this gun. For one, their website wasn't even up. Actually, I had never heard of the company called "Aftermath".
I took a look at it. It's tip was around 2.5 inches long - full orange (which I later found out was the flash suppressor, which I could take off and have a 1/2 inch tip.) It didn't like it for the clip. But I decided to buy it because most of the people I know have spring powered guns that go 300. And since this is an semi-affordable auto, I decided to buy it.

Looks:
Let's just say it's no where close to how UHC modeled their MP5-SD3, and even that isn't great.
The Magazine is No Where Close to Accurate. Think of an UHC/HFC MP5-SD3 clip. Now cut that in-half and put the bottom half to the side. It's like those MP5 Mag Holders were you hold two MP5 Mags by each other, but half way shorter and only one side works, and the other holds BB's.
The colors are terrible. The top part of the gun is all black. However, the bottom half except for the mag and mag slot are tan. Not only that, the stock is tan.
Other than that, it is pretty accurate in looks.

Metal Parts:
Metal Gearbox, Metal Front Sight, Steel Barrel. The two bars on the retractable stock are metal as well. On the hinged magazine, the things that hold them together are metal. Some part of the clip release is metal. The firing mode lever is metal. And of course, the screws.

Features:
There are three modes. Auto, Semi and Safety. Those seem to self explanatory.
A movable cocking handle and a lock are included, but pose no use at the moment.
An adjustable Hop Up System.
Retractable Stock

Magazine:
As mentioned above, the magazine is a double hinged magazine. It offers a 1/4 by 1/2 inch opening to pour ammo in. You must rotate a gear inside to move bullets up. It holds a MAX of 110 rounds. It is really inefficient. In a skirmish, and you decide to keep silent, the rattling BB's in the compartment will give your position away. It is mostly made of plastic.

Firing:
An estimate of 3 rounds per second on a fully charged battery.

Accuracy:
Depending of what you set your hop-up, accuracy will change. Accuracy is somewhat better in semi mode.
.12 - You really shouldn't use these anyways, but tend to move if wind catches at them.
.2 - The Accuracy is great with these.
.25 - You sacrifice a lot of range for accuracy. .2 would be your best bet.

Upgrades:
The company claims to have a compatibility with TM gearboxes, but I haven't owned on to confirm it.
Do you hate the tan and rubber stock? If you have a broken UHC MP5, you could take that stock and stick it on. However, you need to expand the screw hole to have the big screw fit in it. This would mean the metal bars, the stock holder, and the stock.

Conclusion:
Great gun for intermediate-advanced players who take good care of their guns. Probably not the best for your first gun. I've had this for a while. I would only buy this for skirmishes if you have $100+ dollars to use. But if you want to buy a gun that looks good to show, this is not it. Not even close.
Ratings:
Accurate Replica (All the Markings/Features): 8.7/10 - No Ejection Port (Most rifles don't have one) and bad clip
Accurate Replica Colors: 6/10 - Tan/Black
Aiming: 9/10 - The front sight seems big.
Power: 9/10 - Left a few of welts on someone. Left a scar on one person's finger.
Range: 8/10 - Adjust your hop-up correctly
Durability: 9/10 - Be careful with your stock
Clip: 6/10 - Ugly and unreal.
Feel: 8/10 - Heavy, but no where close to real. Feels like plastic at times.
Overall: 8/10
80% - B
Company is almost UNKNOWN - Aftermath.

Update:
The strap is terrible. Do not use it.
If you do and you jump from 3ft+ over the ground, it would most likely break without support. Then, the stock would hit the ground, causing the METAL BARS to break. It has happened, causing me to put a UHC MP5-SD3 stock on. If you find a better strap, use it.

I bought mine used, (heavily used) It came all beat up etc, and Its still going strong.
I don't think theres really anything "junky" about these guns except for the ones that break after a while/lemons.
They do seem to make alot of lemons.



This seems to be the biggest problem: The stock.
As soon as I got mine I got frustrated with the handguard, and changed to a full stock.
While I was taking the Collapsible stock off, I pulled on it super hard, and the stock broke off the rods. Screws and all.
Im NOT happy with Aftermaths collapsible stocks.
