TM ran out of stocks of magic fairy dust years ago. Now they are more reliant on Placebo Powder. If you go to you local airsoft shop its usually kept next the the snake oil. If you hit the G&G section you have gone too far down the bullshit aisle.

I think the best non impartial review vids were the Airsoft GI ones. The advertising was there without being so in your face so you kind of forget the reviewers were actually just salesman. Its all about balance, represent but don't oversell. Not hating just suggesting. Its a good idea what ICS are doing with the sponsor program more manufacturers and outlets should do it. No better promoters than the players themselves.

Krytac have done a good job so far and have obviously listened to what players want. Just carry on doing that and keep the QC standards high and I am sure you will end up with a bigger market share. Have you thought about a different distributor or having more direct contact with the sales outlets yourselves. It seems like they dont understand the market and are the thing thats letting you down more than your actual product. As I pointed out earlier the advertising and product promotion has been poor and most of your sales success has happened because of word of mouth.

What put me off most is the Ics logo everywhere in the vid. People would take you more seriously if you promoted the brand more subtlety it was like one of the dodgy shopping channel commercials. Take the gun around and show it off at games, nudge people in the right direction on forums and yes vids are fine but it all seemed too much and will put people off.

Unkind but true ☺ But if you use the 30k with a 7.4v lipo and an m100 it works lovely and means people don't have to swap the motor out for a lonex or ultimate motor (both of which are cheaper than your 30k) to get the same trigger response as you get with the 30k motor. Yes you're listening but it is a bit of a mistake. I am not saying your guns are awful because they are not I have recommended them to enough people (probably responsible for more sales than your nonexistent UK advertising) just trying to nudge you in the right direction. Edit; Might see if I can sue for a sales commission.

Prefer the Krytac PDW. Other than the split gearbox and a slight improvement on the internals ICS haven't done enough to push the brand forward.

Don't worry no one else does. The only thing you need to do on here is sell your brand and explain why UK Krytacs have a crap 20k motor?

Sod that wouldn't trust any of you f*ckers with my gun.

Not necessarily the sale of goods act has one little line that comes in very useful "fit for purpose" it doesn't mention warranty it just states that all goods must be fit for purpose. Thats why if you buy a TV with a years warranty and it breaks down after 18 months you can still get it fixed by the company because you would reasonably expect a tv to last longer than that. If he sold the gun through the onsite shop for that price then you could argue that although second hand you would expect it to be checked and sold as fit for purpose. Second hand through a store isn't the same as a second hand private sale. If you can prove that he acted immorally and abused a trusted position to sell faulty goods then you could also go for that. The time is an issue but if you have a record of the gun being repeatedly returned and not sorted properly then it becomes irrelevant. I wouldn't think it would be easy to win in a small claims court but it is possible. For the sake of £240 it would be a lot of hassle I would chalk it down to live and learn. Edit; Gears breaking after 8 months isn't that uncommon to be fair. Airsoft gun failures are more about usage than time. Just take it into a different tech and pay for the repairs it would be easier.

Tm are exactly as good as they used to be and thats the problem. If left alone they are ok but not outstanding in any area but if you are willing to spend a few quid on upgrades they become one of the best again. Tm really need to improve the materials they use on the gearbox and improve the motors and chuck in a basic mosfet, all the things that you would expect on a £400 plus gun. The 417 is very nice looking I prefer it over the krytacs it just needs a few upgrades to get it perfect. To answer the original question a huge resounding yes. The combat machine range has some good starting guns and the a few of the non AR15 range are ok but once you get into the mid price range there is always somewhere better to spend your money.

30k is so much better its like a different gun. With all this Krytac talk I am starting to miss mine, might have to get another.

Even in the reliability front they are starting to fall behind. The quality of materials used internally isn't the best and the motors are average at best.They are well put together though which is why they work so well. Not hating on TM as the high cycles are great CQB guns and the recoil series are really nice, I still get tempted to hit the buy button on the g36 recoil at least once a month. Just think there are lots of other choices that are better value for money and recommendations should cover that. To the op most most big brands will be pretty reliable and will serve you well as for necessary gear; Decent eye/face protection Gloves Good footwear preferably boots Everything else is just down to choice you dont need camo or specialist tactical clothing to play just wear stuff that is hard wearing and comfortable.

Doesn't matter whether its on a forum or not its still true. Tm aegs are out performed by a lot other stock aeg's. They are no more reliable or accurate than any of the other big brands and some of the smaller ones. There is a lot of rose tinted glasses and not moving with the times in airsoft. Tm aegs were the best and are still a very good gun but things change. Gbb pistols its still TM though. Real swords are £350 to £400 so cheaper than TM recoils.

They still make the best tracer rounds its just the rest that were iffy.

Actually they are hugely over rated. There are several manufacturers that are producing better guns for less money like krytac,real sword, some ics and a few others. Tm recoils are nice guns and the recoil and bolt stop are nice functions but the PTS RM4 has those for a lot less money. Range, accuracy, reliability and trigger response are only average compared to a lot of stuff on the market now. Nice guns yes but the best thats very debatable.

Spider solitare?

Krytacs come AOE corrected.

Look up the definition of a keyboard warrior pal. Anyone who has met me will tell you I will say it quite happily in person not just hiding behind my keyboard. By the way I am using my phone so its more of touchscreen warrior ☺

I am a dickhead but at least I am honest about it and dont need to live in fantasy land.

There wasn't a load of stick I just voiced the opinion that airsoft guns are in no way realistic and that a Krytac is real enough. Its based on the AR15 platform. If someone doesn't like it then thats wholly their personal choice but anyone who thinks airsoft is in anyway real is slightly delusional. Wanting nice guns I get but realism in airsoft sorry it doesn't exist. The OP never asked about realism he asked about how it performs.

But the Pdw is so unrealistic its just awful to behold😉

50 to 60 metres same as any good aeg. Its got a good inner barrel,hop up and the bucking is probably the best stock bucking out there. More importantly it all goes together very well.

Hilarious cant believe I have never seen it before.

Yes my post count is high and yes its a little bit sad I totally agree. Never used the words "cool enough" once in this thread, or ever I think so dont see where your coming from. My point is the Krytac looks real enough for most people so I think its a bit daft worrying about the realism too much when you are using a bb gun. A lot of my posts are replies or trying to help people out and the odd occasion I feel the need to wind up someone who takes this crap too seriously. Sorry for having a different opinion Cheesy I forgot yours is the only one that counts. I will try to take it more seriously and forget it's a game and eventually when its no fun anymore I might start to agree with you sometimes. Until then though I will just carry on smiling and telling everyone to just go have fun and dont take it serious as its just playing with toy guns.
