[QUOTE=StolenArc;46373290]It's weird, one time someone here said WE makes nice budget pistols, I posted that as a response to someone else asking about what pistol to get then it gets flagged down with Disagrees. Then going off what everyone else said, I assumed WE makes bad products but after I posted this comment people say WE is good. Opinions here sure are conflicting[/QUOTE] I got the same thing when I started. "Buy this plastic propane adapter! it's way better than the metal madbull" it broke the same day I got it, so I bought a metal one and posted here about it and the responses were "Yeah why the fuck would you buy that one it's shit"

Metal ones are more durable but destroy orings

Opinions here sure are conflicting[/QUOTE] Some of WE's guns are good, some are bad. It's all about knowing which ones people are talking about

basically: early we pistols are shit. especially m9s and single stack 1911. new we pistols are breddy gud, but single stack 1911s are still shit. as they are for every brand.

I actually like my single stack we 1911

Can someone give me like a list of stuff that will make a WE AR work fantastically? Preferably Tyler. The main thing I'm looking for is that air flow restrictor you posted before so I don't have to mess with a loose NPAS.

[url]http://fg-airsoft.com/en/nozzles-and-related/163-barrel-reinforcement-for-ghk-pdw-.html[/url] Thats really all you need. They work well out of the box. Grab a few spare nozzles from Evike when you have available funds. They're a planned maintenance kind of part. Don't wanna go metal for the nozzle because RATech is apparently declining in quality, and using a metal nozzle will destroy your hop up unit. Everyone seems to swear by maple leaf buckings for the WE hop up unit, so whenever you wanna do that, its an option. I'm using a stock unit with a 6.01 tightbore, and my only other modification is the air flow restrictor.

[QUOTE=Wulfram;46373547]I actually like my single stack we 1911[/QUOTE] the we m9 I have is shit though

im so sorry for laying that burden upon you

What is the most reliable bullpup AEG that isn't a P90? Also not the RS Type 97b. Looking at ICS's L85's for quick-change springs...

The lm4 with .28s shot stupid as fuck far.

Wondering what internal differences there are from the old old models and the post-2012 ones with blowback.

[QUOTE=Dark Descent;46373707]KJW M9s have one of the grossest finishes I have ever had the displeasure of being exposed to. [/QUOTE] this is so fucking right my kjw M9 had the most hideous gloss black finish I've ever witnessed.

[QUOTE=Zao Medong;46375060]this is so fucking right my kjw M9 had the most hideous gloss black finish I've ever witnessed.[/QUOTE] Can confirm, sold my KJW M9 Vertec a few months ago and it had a god-awful high-gloss black finish that, combined with the build quality, made it quite literally appear to be a toy.

So before I even try to open this thing (Cyma 048 AK74) I want to see if I can find the problem by asking you guys. Friend described the problem with the gun that the hammer or something gets ammo stuck or something which makes it not shoot at all. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Im going to open it anyway but if I can find the problem now instead of after I manage to open it that would be great.

Turn the hopup all the way down, and see what that does. If that doesn't fix it, it could be the nozzle or the tappet plate.

That does sound like a nozzle or tappet plate issue (not retracting the nozzle, BBs don't feed). You can see if this is the case by shining a light into the feed nozzle (where the BBs go from the magazine) and firing on full auto. If you can see the nozzle moving back and forth, it's working, but if it's stuck forward or stuck back then you'll need to open the gearbox to fix it.

General consensus on g&p m4? I want the troy one but my tech said g&p is pretty bad/offspec

Ahah wow. G&P is excellent.

aisan g&ps are. evike g&p guns are factory seconds lol

[QUOTE=theryan11;46389011]General consensus on g&p m4? I want the troy one but my tech said g&p is pretty bad/offspec[/QUOTE] Sounds like you need a new tech :v: G&P M4s are some of the best on the market, he obviously has no idea what he's talking about. Just avoid the Evike specials because like everything else Evile gets their hands on, they're garbage.

[url]http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/g-p-troy-battle-9-inch-rifle.html[/url] I jizzed when I first held this thing. Its 700 dollars locally, and for that price I might as well get a vfc or something

In many peoples opinions, that would be better than a VFC. I would take that over a VFC, unless said VFC was the Mk17.

Found this [URL="http://www.dx.com/p/6-durable-aluminum-alloy-suppressor-silencer-for-airsoft-black-180303#.VFaMKMlqFp8"]'universal' suppressor[/URL] whilst trying to find a decent looking one for my CM16 but I'm unsure on whether or not it'll actually fit or not. Alternatively there's also [URL="http://www.dx.com/p/durable-suppressor-silencer-for-m4-m16-airsoft-14mm-127293#.VFaMJclqFp8"]this[/URL] which I know for certain will fit but I'd prefer the first out of the two. Any suggestions here?

Theres no reason the first shouldnt work. It says it doesn't work on G&P M4's, meaning its threaded 14mm-. Your gun is 14mm-.

Even the eshite G&Ps are pretty good guns. Not as good as the overseas ones but still better than most

[QUOTE=Herfjotur;46386191]There is no hammer in an AEG. Turn the hopup all the way down, and see what that does. If that doesn't fix it, it could be the nozzle or the tappet plate.[/QUOTE] How much would it cost to replace either of these?
