[Are these guns a stupid idea]

I've got my Double Eagle M906C as my primary.  I've got my TM AK-47S as my alternative.  I've got my Classic Army M15A3 (M16 A2) as a ... something or other (It's not quite shooting straight, I'll raise another thread about that)

But damnit, three guns isn't enough to stop me lusting after something else!

Top of my current wish-list is the old Tactical Tuna itself, the F2000... 

 

£175 here https://www.socomtactical.net/cybergun-fn-f2000-aeg-black/ 

Several reasons for this gun as my front-runner

• My fave gun in Battlefield 4.   I'd need a stubby front grip and red dot sight to complete the look
• Cheap(ish)
• High-ish rate of fire (18rps)
• Can take my metal high-cap STANAG mags.  I've got 5 already... keeps the cost down

 

 

Next up is some variety of L85

 

£185 here https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/army-armament-r85a1-l85-sa80-aeg-replica-in-black.html

(Allegedly this is basically the same as the much more expensive G&G version, and they're both likely to break - so might as well have the cheap one!)

I got mildly obsessed with this gun back when I was 10, and in my gun books it was still the SA80 in 4.85mm.  I really wish there was a version of that, as it looks really cool...

Also takes my STANAGs.

Downside is these things weigh too much.  But hey-ho.

 

 

And lastly (for the moment) some sort of Steyr AUG. Preferably a shortened version
 

 

Yowzers, £130! https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/army-armament-r904-steyr-aug-cqb-version-in-olive-drab.html

I'd rather have a rail than the integrated optic though, so more likely... 

£115(!)  https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/army-armament-r901-steyr-aug-bb-gun-in-black.html 

 

or if I'm feeling flush and can blow £280 + extra for mags, then good ol' TM High Cycle...

So yeah, I'm a bit of a fan of bullpups, and actually all 3 of these are amongst my most-used in Battlefield 4 so I have a strong affinity with them from that.
 

But are they too sh*t to actually contemplate buying?   
Are there gotchas I should consider that should stop me from making an impulse purchase of a cheap one (of any make) from the Classifieds?

 

 

(I was actually expecting to pay £170+ for any of these, so the cheap AA ones were a big surprise - feel free to suggest other manufacturers!)
 

The army armament R85 isn’t very good. It doesn’t always fire on semi and the EBB broke within 10 shots on mine. As well as this, the motor came out of alignment within 6 hours and it is terrible to put back together.

[Bearing size]

Hi, does anyone know the bearing size of the CYMA CM.507? Thank you.

[Mosfet]

Thank you for the help

 

[Mosfet]

Does anyone know if the ETU ++ will work with it or not?

[Mosfet]

Ok thank you

[Mosfet]

Hi, does anyone know if the Perun hybrid mosfet will work in the army armament R85A2? Thank you

You can't have both really. The hybrid replaces trigger contacts and uses optical and magnetic switches. The etu++ has all the same settings/features, bar trigger depth and sensitivity, but as it uses the g&g electronic trigger unit you retain the stop on empty, have a much easier fitting (just plug it in to the g&g loom) and it's two thirds of the price.

I am going to get the hybrid as the trigger sensitivity was one of the main reasons I wanted it. Thank you for the help.

All good then, carry on. It might be worth trying the stock motor, it's not bad and I'd swap the stock mosfet for the perun etu++ unit.

More setting adjustment and more robust.

I was planning on getting the perun hybrid mosfet. Will the mosfet make the ETU useless or can I have both at once?

The stock inner barrel is 463mm, but an extra 6mm shouldn’t matter. 

[G&G TR16 MBR 556WH upgrades]

I am looking to get the TR16 and I am planning to upgrade it for fun (no FPS limit) . At the moment I have decided on the ASG boost ultimate motor, maple leaf delayer hop up nub, maple leaf macaron 70 degree bucking, an M105 spring and the modify hybrid 6.03 precision barrel, 469mm. Is there anything that anyone else would do differently for this gun, my price limit is about £570.
