Bottledtorment Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 To SRC , or not to SRC, that is the question : Whether 'tis Nobler in the pocket to suffer The BB and Flash bangs of outrageous Skirmishes , Or to take Arms against a Sea Op For, And by opposing end them: to die, to re-spawn. Basically i'm looking to buy a G36 and I am confused as to which brand is best . I want an AEG and preferably in the KV or MG format .( I would choose the KV or MG as it is still usable for CQB) Money is not too much of an issue but I would prefer not to spend over £250 for the lot Incl. charger and half decent batt. Finally what modifications and accessories would you recommend for this ? (I may consider buying a scope carry handle if you chaps think it is worth while) TL;DR - I want a G36 which brand and variant is best for under £250 Thanks for the help JoelN.B. I will most likely be playing woodland skirmishes at Skirmish Airsoft Notts or at the Embassy or the academy ( if Jaguar LR take me on in 3 years time ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tariq Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I have one of the Umarex/S&T/ARES G36s. Pretty good out the box. Just watch out for the wiring.

Oh poop Would you recommend the SRC KV variant ? I was looking at the scope/RDS carry handle which may mean i have to spend less on a Eotech clone. Have you done any modifications to yours at all? If so may I ask which . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam bussey Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 that is the gun i have and it is very good but if you get one check the wires in the stock to see if they are getting pinched inside the receiver. no mods. i use an eotech clone sight on mine which is good for the ranges of airsoft guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam bussey Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 quoted 340 but in reality 360 to 380. equally suited to both environments especially if your going between CQB and woodland like on some sites, because of the folding/telescopic stock. out of the box the accuracy is acceptable. also they are easy to upgrade because they are a copy of the TM g36.

Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted June 16, 2013 Supporters Share Posted June 16, 2013 Does anyone else have an opinion ? Can be about gun or accessories or even mods. I am a well known regular from Skirmish Airsoft near Nottingham, have you played airsoft before? They have G36s as hire weapons, a mix of SRC and Classic Army. If you come down one weekend then you can check them out for yourself, the performance difference between the various different takes on the G36; KV, MG, C, K, will be negligible, so you'll be able to get a feel for how they'll shoot from the hire guns. If you're set on a G36 then I'd say to go for the Classic Army or the KWA if you can find one. Though you'll have to research parts compatibility if you're wanting to alter any of the externals, as not all G36 specific external bits will definitely fit, depends on the brandings, so that's something to be aware of. Skirmish also have an on site shop, soon to be a proper UK retailer under the name UK Airsoft, you can buy from them as a member before attaining UKARA, talk to Stef behind the counter about the UKARA purchase scheme, they keep the gun on site until you're eligible; but you never have to hire if you don't want to. Additionally, they'll get just about any gun you want on site for you, and they'll match any UK price. So come down one weekend, you can't go wrong.

Tariq Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yes mine caught fire. Pretty much melted a battery. Easy problem to foresee though, if you now know what you're looking for. My wiring had been bent and exposed, meaning it shorted on the gearbox. Just having a quick inspection of a new one and you can see if you need to do anything to it. This is one problem to think about, but the gun is awesome overall. Hop unit is very good, and good range and accuracy and blowback too. The "MG" version, or to be correct the standard G36 isnt very CQB friendly. I tend to walk into walls in cqb areas since it's quite long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not played there yet but I am most likely play there as i have seen your videos and the place looks much better than Matlock combat games .

It will be stored on site in the meantime. Once he gets UKARA he's free to gift it to you, yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted June 17, 2013 Supporters Share Posted June 17, 2013 It's totally 100% legal, so yeah. Though your brother would have to play 3 games to be allowed to keep it, otherwise it would have to be kept on site forever, and I don't think they'd be willing to offer storage for a potentially infinite amount of time.

I'm thinking of making a mini-gun like this Would this be a good use of the little buggers or do you lot know of a better use for them And no i will not just bin them Does anyone know if the gun is 1/2 decent as i may bring it to the next skirmish i go to if it passes the chrono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Monty Posted June 17, 2013 Supporters Share Posted June 17, 2013 Does anyone know if the gun is 1/2 decent as i may bring it to the next skirmish i go to if it passes the chrono Hm, it would be good as a back up, but not as a primary.

Bottledtorment Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Haha He was throwing it out one the basis that the mag well spring was buggered but upon internal fiddling (no peado or homo) it seems like an easy fix , until i can find a half decent spring for it i will use a bit of velcro or something to keep it in . A team ain't got nothing on me XD I hope the Hop rubber isn't pooped after the .12's he put through it .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
