Although such components do not translate into increased accuracy, they do tend to increase durability. One item of note is the barrel, which is rifled steel and extremely thick and rugged for an airgun. The quality of the gun is high, with the main functional components being made from firearms quality steel and the plastic parts ( trigger, main receiver housings, buttstock, lower magazine cover) being made from firearms quality fiber reinforced polymers. Upgrades are being continuously introduced as the gun gains in popularity (it is sometimes claimed that this might become the 10/22 of the airgun world). Such modifications include aftermarket/third-party and user-community alterations and upgrades such as "mod boards" that can increase the rate of fire up to 1200 rounds per minute and provide true fully automatic operation, adapters to use external propellant sources (such as 20oz paintball CO 2 tanks or HPA scuba tanks), dye kits to change the color (commonly RIT fabric dye is used), and longer barrels (higher velocity).
This gun is very popular with both casual target shooters and airgun enthusiasts it is excellent out of the box plus offers customization options and upgrades. The MP661K is best known for being one of the few (if only) select-fire BB guns and can fire single, three-round, and six-round bursts (semi-auto only in the United Kingdom). However, this coloring is not done on various other brands/models of imported airguns and has been recently dropped in favor of an all black color scheme. It is speculated that this was done to distinguish the airgun from firearms and prevent it from being banned from import.
It was also marked as the " bumblebee" for its sound and the yellow and black color scheme that was once standard on the version of the gun imported into the U.S.

The GMG is simply in a different class of airgun. Although we tried with the table below, you cannot compare the GMG to a Drozd, Blackbird, Steel Storm, or EBOS. The GMG is not a “BB gun”, nor is it a “toy”. We want to clear up any confusion about what type of airgun the GMG truly is.
