G&G Firehawk

[GiantKiwi]

Bollocks.

 

 

 

 

Well i've just chrono'ed it anyhoo, it came out at at an average of ~345 (344, 347, 346, 343, 344). So once again a case of mythical stock FPS.

Played with this today, and oh wow it is good. Amusing outranging guns that cost 10-15x as much. Oh and it is unbelievably loud with BB's exiting the amplifier, got a call over the radio from a marshall on the other end of the site "You sure that's loud enough mate?"

[Kerr1992]

That sounds epic! Haha

 

I'm gonna buy one on payday. Definelty! Just hope land warrior have some in stock then. I sent an email to Airsoft world asking if they could get it in and got no response :-(

I brought one on Saturday, will be here on Tuesday, looking forward to using next Sunday.

I believe land warriors website say they are out of stock.

[Kerr1992]

That's probably correct. It was the other day I checked :-( ... I'm assuming they will restock though :-)

[beedenboy]

Received my firehawk today. First impressions, very impressed, a nice weight to the rifle. Very good quality feel with very little wobble in the stock and mag. Shoots with a lovely sharp crisp sound. Battery is a little bit fiddley but that was expected.

 

Looking forward to using it on Sunday.

[Kerr1992]

So that's 2 positives so far! :-) ... Still not contacted airsoft world or land warrior.

Now I want a Firehawk! Wish I bought one rather than my shirty CYMA TM-spec thing (hard to upgrade, internals not great) really like a 4" RIS too

[Ian_Gere]

CYMA M4? I may be mistaken, but iirc...

I know :/ haha

The amplifier is so amusing that I will be picking up another for a GBBR, because if its loud on this, GBB? Pahaha.

[Kerr1992]

I have to wait another month now as my cars intercooler has a hole in it and needs replaced :-(

I need to buy new shocks for the car that will be my first, slightly annoying, but the rest of the car is in good nick, and it's free

+1 for MAG magazines. Wouldn't bother trying to get more fps. As mentioned above, any gains in range would be minimal. Accuracy is all in the hop and barrel. G&g are pretty well set up stock.

Wait is the flash hider amplifier removable? ?

Hmm...it looked fixed to me, my bad. Anywhere where I can buy it separately? ;p

Nice...expensive though. Might be good on a GBB pistol perhaps.

No.

[SuicidalBarrelRoll]

 

No.

Why not? On an already jazzy piece it could add some flavour and texture! As well as bring loud as fabulous duck

[GiantKiwi]

Just going to give a quick update regarding the magazines mentioned in the video. They are junk. In one of them the follower jammed with a mere 50ish bb's loaded. So I go about dismantling it to undo the jam. Really, really bad move. 4 screws to remove, crack open the shell slowly to avoid the spring launching into outer space, no dice, it does it anyway. 5 SPRINGS. What the hell?! There is no way to rebuild them without 6 or so hands, its just such a stupid design. SO. If you have bought some already, if it breaks, bin it. Get a decent mag, never ever consider another pack of these again.

 

NB: I spent nearly 2 hours trying to rebuild it before it ended up in the bin.

[elrasho]

I'm thinking of getting one of these, how are you guys still finind yours after all these months?

[Sam91]

Got someone at my site that uses one - the noise is amazing! If your on the same side....

[elrasho]

heh heh what about reliability? Anyone heard of faulty occuring over time? Someone posted a picture showing a Top Tech motor inside which is used on the more expensive G&G guns, do they all come with that?
