Baz JJ Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Does anybody have experience of these ? Seem quite good VFM with metal receivers, ability to take a 11.1V LiPo and a 12 month warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springs Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 ive got 2 of them. Ones a Mk18 M4 and the other is a M4 "Patriot" which is basically a stubby M4 both are great. never had issues with them and a few other guys on my team run with them.

Supporters M_P Posted February 3, 2014 Supporters Share Posted February 3, 2014 A lot of the people that I know who have them have had issues with them, and had to send them back to the retailer to be fixed- not just the once in some cases too. Others have had them and not complained, they just seem hit and miss, along the lines of ares as far as I can see it. Good externals, but let down by the internals in some cases- just seems a bit of a gamble, which makes sense a bit given the price. They say they can take a 11.1 lipo however I have my doubts as to how long it'll actually work with one for, though the warranty is good and honoured from what I've seen. Personally I'd go for a G&G/ICS/G&P over one, as I have more faith they'd work for a longer amount of time, especially G&Gs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted February 4, 2014 Supporters Share Posted February 4, 2014 Early production runs had quite a few problems (like receiver pins just falling out) but they seem to have sorted things out now. The only difference between the Combat Series guns and the more expensive ones is the front end. The Invader/URX etc models all have licensed front end kits which make them more expensive. The internals are the same across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_G Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have heard nothing but bad reviews from people, not including those that are sponsored by the retailer that stocks them. One guy had one seize after the second pull of the trigger, another one has had it 6 months and it has been "fixed" 8 times. After the last "fix" it chrono'd at 128fps so it was discarded across the range. Not sure if that show how bad the gun is or how bad the servicing was. I would not touch one. not when you can get better guns for the same sort of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate of mine has one that apart from the frame pins has been absolutely faultless since he bought it. It's one of the most accurate AEGs I've ever seen and anyone that has tried it has been very impressed by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's as maybe but that's their justification for the extra cost (which I don't personally think is justified at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam_G Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Dont get me wrong i think the G&G are good guns. I just would never have a full plastic gun. (i know they make metal ones too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz JJ Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ive got four G&G top tech rifles and love them. However going back to DyTac, I think my buddy is going to buy one, so we will see how he fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i know they make metal ones too!) Their cheap plastic ones are a bit gash. I have a mate with the nylon reinforced GR24 and that's pretty decent but still not a patch on the top techs!

If he gets lucky and gets a good one it'll be a decent rifle, though still I'd suggest going for something else rather than gamble money hoping it's not going to be a lemon.

They only recently started selling them. The Invader Recon my mate has runs on an 11.1v LiPo and he's not had any issues either. Much like anything a few lemons can damage a brands reputation, I'm sure even the mighty TM don't have a flawless record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted February 5, 2014 Supporters Share Posted February 5, 2014 Of course they don't have, I'm just saying err on the side of caution. its a newish brand and roughly half the people I know with them have had various issues. It could be as simple as a bad batch, or it could be more widespread, seeing as people here have been fine it makes it a safer bet. I'm suggesting if the op does get one then perhaps run it on a lower voltage battery to reduce the chances of breakages especially seeing as they have no mosfet fitted.

Does it come with a sector gear chip fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted February 5, 2014 Supporters Share Posted February 5, 2014 30ish give or take. Dytac make gear clips as parts however judging by their website they dont actually fit them to their guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted February 5, 2014 Supporters Share Posted February 5, 2014 So hold up a sec... 30-ish rps from a budget gun with no mis-feeding and the cutoff lever still works at 11.1V? This must be some boss design!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'd be skeptical on the 11.1v OOTB claims,hardly any stock guns can survive 11.1v lipos out of the box,unless this Dytac one comes flawlessly shimmed,greased,mosfet included and Angle of engagement corrected. KWA advertised the hell out of their 2gx guns of being 11.1v lipo ready yet no mosfet,AOE correction or shims(Huur pressizin gaerbowcks) on it. All the claims of them living up to 4+ years have all been by people closely affiliated with KWA on their forum. I'd still do all the mods needed for long life on a 11.1v on the Dytac. If the externals are crap,then I'd just recommend one of the newer JGs that come with a Mosfet,only shimming,greasing and Aoe correction on those.
