See my train of thouht is that I don't  mind spending a tenner here or there on some bits to make it  more consistent or slightly better. I can't really justify (for the amount of time I play) spending alot on a new gun that is all bells and whistles. As I said before out the box the cyma can get you out on the field and playing. Which at the end of the day is what its all about. If you can aford better by all means go for it, but as it is you can still have a lot of fun and get started in the sport with out breaking the bank. Player attitude also has a lot to do with it. Your gun may cost you £300 pound but if you have the wrong kind of mind set your not going to get any more pleasure out of airsoft than you are going to work or doing chores around the house.

you won’t have to replace EVERYTHING to get the gun working it’s best.

 

I rather suspect that it depends on the definition of "best", and that at some point we'd end up throwing away money chasing imaginary benefits even if we start with a TM.

 

Unless I convince myself that each and every stock part is already at least as good as any possible aftermarket alternative, why wouldn't I end up replacing all of them in pursuit of ultimate bestness?

 

However, if we walk it back to define "best" as our subjective definition of "good enough", then for my purposes I can't see why I'd need to change more than the barrel and hop, since I already have the consistent puff that I want.

I try to advise people not to go nutz on upgrades for various reasons.....

I also try to put stuff in an easy to understand context:

The first car example works quite well pimping out a pile of $hite 2002 Punto

(anybody who is say 25+ will/should fully get what I mean)

 

First of all if you can afford a Krytac then in most cases buy a bloody Krytac !!!

There is NO REAL POINT in buying a £150 gun and spending £150 on it in most cases

 

MOST CASES = if you are not going to do the work YOURSELF AND are very good/competent then forget it

If you get somebody to do loads of upgrades (most may not be really needed) it will cost extra

If they are going to pay a decent amount of time & detail into getting the very best out of it - IT WILL COST !!!!

 

I could go on & on & on & on (and I have many times...)

but in the end the term " if it ain't broke - don't try to fix it " covers a LOT of what I could mention

in many cases WAIT until it needs attention and then decide how to overcome a problem

(rather than create more problems that don't really exist)

 

As for Cyma barrel/hop/bucking - leave it as is if all working fine

the barrel is pretty decent - the hop ok

if it starts going a bit crap then you might consider a G&G green bucking but only if old one is torn or crap

 

Accuracy/range is mainly down to:

ROUGHLY PUT BTW....

50% bucking/nub

25% x 2 barrel & hop unit effectiveness or compatibility

(not getting real actual percentages here coz it will vary in many builds for a start but a rough ball-park basis)

The bucking/nub is where the backspin/magnus is created - without this you got jack squat

yes how everything works translates also into range/accuracy but I'm trying to roughly indicate what is what

 

You will not see a $hit review of G&G bucking - "worst bucking ever... lost 25m" etc....

unless real bad luck compatibility or most likely just poor fitting by user

BUT that does not mean yet again everybody rush out and buy a G&G bucking if gun is ok as is

(remember the "if it ain't broke......." recommendation)

what I mean is like many things - WAIT until it goes pear shape - THEN maybe replace stuff with good/better stuff

 

Ahhhh - I'm waffling again, do what like, it is your gun I suppose

Had my first game with this gun, had the gun for a while now, never had any issues with it, no jamming or anything, battery lasted me a full day of Airsoft too.

 

I have a friend that goes regularly that has taught me how to look after the gun and simple maintenance and so far, it’s going well, just as good as when I first purchased it.
