Worst gun i ever owned was the Well R6 (M4A1)

- Made of the most creaky shiny ABS (same stuff all the old springers were made of)

- Very wobbly front set.

- Used a clip on stock (again a feature of the old well springers)

- Awful quality internals - everything... just terrible, from GB to hop and barrel, my lower intestine could have crafted better stuff.

- Crappy non standard high cap M16 mags which hardly worked and the gun didn't take TMs and G&Ps.

- Pretty bad feeding problems.

- Range and accuracy non existent.

- About 260 fps out the box.

- Gearbox body pin seemed to be welded into the v2 shell - caused me to suffer the worst hand injury i've ever had (though this was my fault, I was 17 and a complete R****d  )

As far as I am aware this may have been the first ever ACM AEG on the market along with the R5 (MP5) and a little later the R8 (G3 SAS).

The question I have is...

...what on Earth made you buy it?!

...what on Earth made you buy it?!

Let me answer by quoting myself...

I was 17 and a complete R****d   

But yeah, I was in college at the time, next to no cash, knew very little about the sport (I had a few springers.. M16, G36c and a plastic gearbox mp5). I had been to my first game and had borrowed my friends TM M733 and a few TM/G&P low caps. I had been browsing the old forums, Possibly the one just before ascuk, and everything was around 150-200+ (there was no ACM stuff about at the time). I bought the R6 on eBay from either SoGood or Begadi in Germany for about 100EUR, description was all about how it was basically a TM inside but for a 3rd/4th of the price.

Ah well, you live and learn!

possibly the worst gun i ever bought was a classic army P90 sports line. terrible range, gear box had a horrible twang and the body was so brittle. i have a habbit of not keeping guns long enough to find out if theyre crap or not.
