Worst gun you've ever worked on

G&G M14 EBR- About a thousand screws/parts/pins and odd fiddly bits removed and only now i am removing the gearbox. Once the gearbox is opened it generally wants to explode like a frag grenade. Then putting back together OMG, need about 6 hands for the ARL and that freakingly annoying BB feeder tube thingy OMG i hated taking this gun apart!

G&G MP5 with blowback - Had to more or less tear this thing apart to get to the gearbox, then in order to dry fire it had to put it all (ALL) back together again.

Ares WA2000 - Again another full disassemble just to get to the gubbins to change one thing

Easiest to work on:

TM P90 - a button, two screws and tilt the lower back and the gearbox, motor etc was all in one nice package

 
JG MP5 SD6, it's that kind of thing when a 16 year old thinks it's good to get any cheap gun to learn on but not when to get to the gearbox you'd have to disassemble every single part of the external build to get to the gearbox, then you'd have to reroute the tamiya connection around the whole body of the gun and under hop up whilst placing the hop and gearbox in at the same time. The motor wire's are just as annoying to put in. Getting to the gearbox took 40 minutes the first time.

After 30 hours later and a video I made to disassemble the gun (for the 6th time) it finally works, m120 with 2 teeth short stroked on sector and piston with a 13:1 gear set and a "high torque" motor which was a 16 tpa motor so speed one running with a 7.4v and around 280 fps on a .25. Correct motor height, correct shimming, perfect air seal and new hop rubber thanks to Foreign Commando Remi with the addition of Teflon taping the crap out of the hop, it finally works and sounds amazing and I never want to open it again but there is one problem, the top where a claw mount needs to go, it's a bit open but I can push it together but it won't stay together so I'd need a claw mount soon

Did you know? Who invented the gun? if don't 
its Richard Gatling In the late 15th century the Ottoman empire used firearms as part of its regular infantry. The first successful rapid-fire firearm is the Gatling Gun, invented by Richard Gatling and fielded by the Union forces during the American Civil War in the 1860s.

So far I've taken apart and fiddled with a CYMA P90, G&G Combat Machine, CYMA CM.121 AEP, VSR, APS UAR, and a King Arms AEG SVD. Weirdly, I had the worst time with the Combat Machine by a fairly large margin. There's so much to do just to get at the gear box, then the internal gearbox wiring adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the usual spring juggling when closing up. I get the feeling that the V2 gearbox, the most popular and ubiquitous, might also be the biggest pain in the arse?

 
Customer guns;

BOLT M4 (probably any BOLT tbh)

WE Katana 

Hate both of them.

 
The tm uzi. 

Very cleverly designed as its a clamshell, but it's like they were being deliberately obtuse. 

Not that you really need to disassemble one as spare parts are that non existent that you may as well resort to nailing it on the wall and sobbing. 

 
Don't laugh at me.

But the Ares Striker series is terrible to work on.

All the upgrades are aesthetic, internally you only have a handful of overly expensive parts that are not even guaranteed to properly work.

It's a shame as it could be a very good platform.

 
Limited experiences- but I had two broken springers I ripped apart and made one out of awkward as but I succeeded sort of(fires all 3 pellets out of one barrel- am fine with that though . lol)

but learned to hate the gun I bought to learn on- jg aug... 2 stage trigger nonsense- splitting the body to get the gearbox out the butt that shouldn't have to happen etc... hate it just haven't gotten round to getting rid of it yet...
