Buying myself an AEG but what to buy?

[SuicidalBarrelRoll]

No complaints from me about the CM.028 range. I still have my .028U and although she is no longer stock, it's only recently that her performance has actually beaten what it was out of the box - she was my first and i busted her learning how gearboxes work :lol: But the CM.048 range is better looking and feeling, strips easier, and maintains the performance of the legendary hop with a beast of a gearbox - needs no upgrade to handle 11.1V, even with fat wire and a MOSFET.

Click to shrink...

Seriously? No MOSFET required?

No no, i said the stock gearbox can handle 11.1V even when using fat wire and a MOSFET - should have said it is an active breaking MOSFET - the airfet type from ebay. My point being that it get's the full whack from a Turnigy Nano Tech 25-50C battery and copes just fine. The CM02 gearbox is a beast.

here it is

As you can see in the vid above, the ROF is a bit silly, so I added some extra Deans and cable so I can remove the MOSFET easily, which adds a little extra resistance and brings the ROF down to around 18.5r/s.

Mosfet are not a MUST but are very highly recommended to save switch, response etc.....

(ooh look at me - no expert as just seen first time ever the improvements myself)

Dedsec hasn't fitted one just yet

and I admit if my gun hadn't broke last weekend I probably still be running her without one

(Ahem - changes voice to impersonate an old american gospel preacher man spreading the news.....)

But now I have seen the light and can see for myself the true meaning of real true snappiness in our airsoft world my brothers & sisters

Can't I get an Amen from ya all my dearly beloved

AAAAAAMMMMMEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah now join with me... - OK I SHUT UP NOW (you get the idea - think its time for my medication pills)

I was in a similar position and I went for a gun which really didn't need upgrading so I went for a real sword and it's a decision I have not regretted for a second.

It's built like a tank, the best 1:1 replica there is and although it's not really tm compatible you can make adjustments to airsoft parts to fit.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned G&P. I own a G&P M4 Special Operations. Great out of the box. They have tonnes of M4 variants. Just note that all their guns are based on Deans connectors (which is a good thing).

Thanks for all the help gents, managed to get a good deal on a TM recoil recce m4 with plenty of bits and Bob's so a very merry Christmas to myself
