Looking at getting a new gun, and grenade launchers?

[Flynn567]

The SRC 416s have had mix reviews from people I would not get one

That about the TM Colt M4A1 Electric Recoil

 

[Liam Porter]

It doesn't take any brand mags though does it? I have 6 CA midcaps here to be used..

 

[M_P]

The chances are its the same gearbox.

If u raised the budget, I'd still get a g&p AR15

The tm recoil takes its own mags however it is a better gun

 

[Liam Porter]

What G&P would you get for £400, and does it still have the same internals as their M16s? If so, I'd probably get the M16, no need wasting money on externals yet..

My step-dad reckons I should get a MagPul Masada for £400, how are their internals?

And I kinda like Scars, what's the best Scar-L under £400?

Sorry I'm dragging this thread out and asking a lot..

 

[M_P]

The Masada is great but I'm not keen on it. With the money, I'd get a standard g&p m14/m16, plain, simple and you can do what you want with it.

As for scars, a vfc but good luck finding one. Cybergun have banned them being produced

 

[Liam Porter]

So G&P Armalites have same internals, just whichever I like the look of the best? Seems odd that I can get their M16 for under £250 and some of their M4s are over £450..

I won't get the Masada, considering it's £400 and I'd look like a CoDsofter..

How come Cybergun banned production?

And how are G&G Scars?

Narrowed down to a G&P Armalite or G&G Scar-L after looking at a few reviews..

How do the internals compare and which would you get?

If you'd get a G&P Armalite, a link to which one would be nice

Thanks again..

I can tell you that the G&G SCARs shoot in a tight group more than that not a clue Liam

 

[M_P]

I wouldn't touch a g&g scar, I've heard of too many problems with them

The reason for g&p prices is because your paying for externals to be upgraded. A standard m16 has a cheap plastic handguard whereas say, an m4 viper has a high quality rail set, and better stock.

The g&p would have higher quality internals too. If it were me, id get a short g&p sentry, vltor receiver in tan. It's on lwa but im on my phone so can't link it sorry.

 

[Liam Porter]

Gonna be one of their M16 range, I don't like the crane stocks and I prefer longer barrelled weapons..

Now to decide which one.. standard M16A3 or go for a more fancy and expensive one with rails?

Thanks for your help guys!

 

[M_P]

Id go standard, its cheaper and you can always add rails later if you want

 

[Liam Porter]

What I was thinking, final question - do you know what size Tamiya it uses? All I got from Zero One and Fire Support after emailing was them telling me it uses Tamiya..

 

[M_P]

Mine came with mini tamiya but the shop I got it from may have changed that. I know most m4 sliding stock variants come with deans as standard.

As an m16 with battery in the stock id assume large tamiya

 

[Liam Porter]

Okay, I'll send them another email to see if I can get something more helpful!

Thanks for all your help!

Just before I order from Fire Support, what are the stock barrels & hop ups like in G&P AR15 series?

Would it be worth me ordering new ones at the same time, or should I do at a later date?

 

[M_P]

Not bad barrels, they're 6.08 and shoot really well, hop rubber is lacking though- a madbull blue could sort it out though.

 

[Liam Porter]

MadBull Blue is the same as red but with different nub, right? 'cause I have a spare for my sniper lying around somewhere, could use that..

Reckon it'd be worth installing a MadBull 6.03 TBB?

And you don't just happen to know whether or not installing a new barrel will void Fire Support warranty? I've already emailed them a few times today..

 

[M_P]

The red has an h nub and fins on the inside, really good bucking. Id stick the barrel in too

No idea about warrantys though

 

[Liam Porter]

Not tried red in an AEG, it works pretty well (too well...) in my sniper though. I guess I'll have to email them again, hopefully he won't mind . They may even fit it for me, good service and friendly people.

Side note: Thinking about it, since I started airsofting just over a year ago, I don't think I've met any unfriendly airsofters.. Obviously you get the odd few non-hit-takers, but no-one's actually been ignorant and rude.... even some guy who I team killed about 4 times in one day.

 

[M_P]

It's a good community, even when you are angry its hard to show i I find. Even after idiots on your own team shot u in the back of the head point blank, not naming any names... Masadanator

 

[Liam Porter]

I wasn't too bad with team kills.. we were both being stealthy and flanking, then we met each other behind enemy lines and I shot him.. which gave my position away and I got shot soon after.

Anyway, back on topic - what weight BBs would you recommend? I have a lot of .20g BBs, but I'm thinking using .25g would be worthwhile?

 

[M_P]

.25's give better range. Simple as that

I always use .25's (apart from last weekend but that's another story)
