The official questions thread. V. HELP WHAT BUY - General

Do you guys think the "Bat" mask would fit well if I'm wearing a bowmans headset?

I don't think so. Maybe if you cut part of the mask off, though. I dunno. The Bat one goes over your ears normally, correct? If it's the one I'm thinking of, I don't think a headset like that will work with it.

Batman doesn't need headsets.

Can anyone tell me if [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_166&products_id=3432]this is a good starter weapon?[/url] Me and my friend are going to go out to some property my family owns to play by our selves :v: [IMG_thumb]http://i56.tinypic.com/1jtbx2.jpg[/IMG_thumb] this is my friends gun in-case you were wondering

JG makes pretty good guns, especially for their price.

JG is pretty decent but saving up a bit more for something like a G&G wouldn't hurt.

Man I have two options now that I have no gun and must buy a new one. I finally decided to get a g36, I can either buy a G36C, new, or an used G36c that has a built-in M4 stock and uses M4 mags for a pittance more (basically the same price on both). On one side, I love the regular G36 foldable stock and it's awesome "can stick mags together" thing, but on the other hand with the M4 hybrid I can use the 2 mags I already have (mid cap and hi cap) and the M4 mag holders on my current vest (don't know if G36 mags fit into them) [IMG]http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/9823/439a.jpg[/IMG] Both are JG (all I can afford at the moment, otherwise I'll be chairsofting for the rest of the year, but I think JG guns are good). Any advice?

I would say go for the one with the M4 stock. It doesn't look [I]that[/I] goofy and it can take M4 mags which is a plus.

The M4 stock looks a bit silly, but it's really up to you.

Is it wrong of me to think that a regular LE-stock looks better on that G36C than a crane stock?

That looks silly

So i was fiddling with my friends gun and i was charging it and it took about 1h, maybe less. i was like "wat" So i was wondering how to properly charge it. The charger has a switch that has "1.8A" on one side and "0.9A" on the other. I don't know what one to switch it to. pics related [IMG_thumb]http://i55.tinypic.com/sqpoq9.jpg[/IMG_thumb] [IMG_thumb]http://i51.tinypic.com/21n40sn.jpg[/IMG_thumb] I was charging it on the 1.8a

A one hour charge is the norm.

[QUOTE=64k1;24816166]Is it wrong of me to think that a regular LE-stock looks better on that G36C than a crane stock?[/QUOTE] Not wrong at all, I think it would benefit from the slimmer look. Add a suppressor and I think it would make for an interesting looking gun.

Your battery is a 1500 milliamp hour (mAh) battery, or 1.5 Amp hours. So using some basic division: @ 0.9A 1.5Ah/0.9Ah = 1.66 hours = 1 hour 40 minutes @ 1.8A 1.5Ah/1.8Ah = .83 hours ~ 50 minutes What you did is what is normally considered a quick charge (I'm just going to say anything over 1A is a quick charge, though it may be higher). Normally you want to avoid doing this as it can decrease the life of your battery overtime if you do it too often. So if you got the time, stick with the slower charge setting (0.9A in your case), but if you're on the field and need a quick charge set it to 1.8A.

I have the exact same dilemma as Kman. It's either the VFC, ICS or maybe a CA. I was looking at the KWA but I really don't need 30bps. Leaning towards the ICS.

VFC makes awesome AK's, not sure about their other guns though.

Leaning towards the ICS.[/QUOTE] If you just put a 9.6 in your KWA you still get a high rate of fire but nothing extreme. It's close to the rate of fire of a real M4 with a 9.6.

I make a decision then i start looking for something else and i get second thoughts

I want a new AK, any thoughts? Been looking at a few and I like the ICS 74M. [IMG]http://www.albertaairsoft.com/store/img/p/661-771-thickbox.jpg[/IMG] Or a VFC AKM. [IMG]http://www.safarasoftair.com/images/AKM.jpg[/IMG] [editline]03:22AM[/editline] Or maybe get that camera Ender has. Choices, choices..

Get the ICS.

I'd pass on the ICS if it's anything like my older ICS AK-74 was. Cheap plastic stock and mags didn't feed unless you held the mag and applied pressure. The only good thing about that gun was the large metal bolt on it, made a very nice clack when you racked it.

VFC. They are pretty great at AKs, or so I hear and see.

ICS: I can't shoot. They've got some cool ideas, and decent stuff, but it really just isn't all that great for how much you pay for it.

VFC, KWA and G&G?

[QUOTE=Kman1;24843993]Does that apply to all ICSes?[/QUOTE] Can't say, mine was an older model from nearly 4 years ago.

[QUOTE=The Slick;24846249]ICS: I can't shoot. They've got some cool ideas, and decent stuff, but it really just isn't all that great for how much you pay for it.[/QUOTE] I've heard that the ICS Sigs are good.

[QUOTE=xXEnder007Xx;24846921]Can't say, mine was an older model from nearly 4 years ago.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure the new ICS AK's are really good (from what I've heard).
