I wish I'd known this when I started.

All you need is a short TM recoil shock and a 5.1.

I could have saved quite a lot of money.

Although I do still love my LCTs.

Recoil Shock system is so over rated its unreal.. stick with the LCTs mate

But you won’t get a more accurate , reliable or usable AEG (bar the horrendous but easily fixable battery system) than a TM recoil ? Just saying .

 

[Wo1f]

If you were to only ever buy one AEG, it’s hard to argue with the out of the box performance of a TM recoil. Externally, the LCT stuff is a little nicer/more robust, but performance does not compare to anything TM make. They have their issues and quirks like anything else, but they’re still king of the sewing machines.

Not overrated, just functional and brings a whole new dimension to the game.

I must have a magic hybrid then, my LCT outraged 2 TM recoils on Sunday, much to the surprise/annoyance of their owners ?

Inb4 double the fps

TM has some magic but sometimes it's not enough

KWA Erg m4 an AK74.

nuff said ?

 

[Shizbazki]

I wish i knew and bought an M4 platform first as its now my preferred one, yeah an M14 EBR still does look cool but my ARM!

I wish i never dabbled with AEGs, bloody unreliable things, HPA all the way, all day! I know ill get a lot of flame for that (equips flame shield)

I wish my first pistol was a TM instead of poor QC WE, dat hop though

Not everything cheap Chinese is bad, but when it is, its very bad.

 

[CrackCommandoUnit1972]

All you need is love,

well that and a MP5

 

[Seth_Erebor]

I’m sitting here watching LotR and I want to say... One RIF to rule them all?

What would be the ultimate platform?

Nvm, I’m gonna start a new thread on it.

How did you get yours to feed? Mine is shite

Really? ive had a few over the years and are easily my favourite gun, feeds flawless, and with 0.28 beautiful range and accuracy.

At least as far as the TM AK74 line goes thats not accurate. I shot my LCT AKM (stock) against a friends stock AK74 a couple of weekends ago, both were roughly the same accuracy and range (LCT maybe shaded range).   Apart from a tiny bit of recoil and a bolt moving give me the LCT any day.  

I think part of it is that maybe 5-10 years ago TM were genuinely the best thing since sliced bread and the reputation has stuck.  Now, (at least from my own experience) they are easily equalled by cheaper rifles.  For instance, I would happily buy another CM4-10 ERG over a TM M4 recoil shock and still have £150 left to play with.

I agree with you when it comes to the AK variants. For whatever reason, the TM AK’s just don’t look right to me. I run a GHK AK, so I know how nice LCT externals are. LCT have just come out with EBB haven’t they?

ive never used a kwa erg. Their gas guns have put me off the brand for life. I was under the impression that they had more kick but less performance. Any truth to that?

I am having a love affair with an E&L AKM super accurate out to 70metres and 33bbs a second if need it. Lots of upgrades.

The one drawback is the weight.

Youre not allowed to say that! the TM fan boys who dont know any better and love to pay waaay to much will be out in force

This is true but a lot of guns/brands still haven't cottoned onto little things like bolt lock (unless GBBR) considering how simple it really is when you break it down I'm surprised majority of RIFs don't have this feature now. I'm not saying that alone is worth the extra £150 but personally I'd rather trust a brand that has the reputation behind it (although as far as AK's go I have to agree that LCT/E&L are waaaaaaaaaay BETTER)

and 33bbs a second if need it.

Who needs 33bbs a second ??

Who needs 33bbs a second 

You've not played the sites i have, i've dropped a midcap at ~60rps (not confirmed- chrono dont measure that fast) at folk and had them not call it.
