Muzzle velocity measurement
The tests were carried out on our own enclosed shooting range, at an ambient temperature of 22oC, the Hop-Up was set to zero. The measurements were made with the XCORTECH X3500 chronograph using Blaster 0.2 g BBs.
Muzzle velocity measurement results:
1. 394,0
2. 395,0
3. 396,2
4. 396,7
5. 396,3
6. 393,5
7. 397,8
8. 397,5
9. 397,1
10. 397,5
Average: 396,16 fps.
Spread: 4,3 - wonderful!
Kinetic energy at the exit of the barrel: 1,46 J
Measured ROF (LiPo 11,1 V 2400 mAh, 15 C battery): 18,4 BBs/s
The measurements are a bit off compared to the attached replica card:

Summary
I was looking forward to the premiere of the Edge series. I was curious to see how the manufacturer's assurances about a "new quality" will be confirmed by facts. Today, when I looked very closely at the replica I can say: it is very good indeed. Visually, as far as fitting of individual parts and assembly accuracy goes, in my opinion, in the case of replicas made to be used not collected, you simply do not need to do anything better.
Mechanically, the Edge series also keeps all the promises that were made in advance. The gearbox parts are in fact mostly reinforced and of very good quality. They let you assume that the replica will work flawlessly. If I was the owner of a replica with such a configuration and I lacked the muzzle velocity, I would not be afraid of mounting an M130 spring without exchanging other parts. Of course, the replica has its shortcomings that I have described in the text. Maybe it even has more of them, because something could have escaped me. However, with those that I found, I can live with.
