asbo1991 Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Has anyone had any experience of these struggling to find honest reviews most are giving the guns all good reviews but wanted an owners view of this gun?
Supporters Monty Posted May 13, 2016 Supporters Posted May 13, 2016 It's.. Eh. You get what you pay for.
asbo1991 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 It's.. Eh. You get what you pay for. Meaning?
Root Admin proffrink Posted May 13, 2016 Root Admin Posted May 13, 2016 Ares aren't cheap and externally they compete with G&P and others, but internally they've always been pretty bad. Lately they've been improving though so it'd be interesting to see some opinions on this.
Supporters Monty Posted May 13, 2016 Supporters Posted May 13, 2016 Meaning? The finish is nice, but the metal feels a bit brittle. It will handle normal airsoft abuse, though. On a G&P receiver it sits a few millimetres away from the receiver when fitted properly, but I'm not too fussed.
asbo1991 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 Brilliant thanks guys will give it a miss then can't justify paying over £300 for a gun that's just ok will get a Krytac payday
Supporters sp00n Posted May 13, 2016 Supporters Posted May 13, 2016 I highly rate my ares Vz.58 I honestly believe ares has changed and there newer guns no longer deserves the poor internal reputation of older ones
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted May 13, 2016 Supporters Posted May 13, 2016 Newer amobeas are pretty solid, certainly no worse than other manufacturers same for the VZ 58 and Octarms, they're all the same inside. quite like the G36s with the burst function or any of the other EFCS stuff They don't build 'em like they used to, which in this case is a good thing!
asbo1991 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Posted May 14, 2016 Well this is now changing my opinion, what length would you guys recommend
Supporters Monty Posted May 14, 2016 Supporters Posted May 14, 2016 Well this is now changing my opinion, what length would you guys recommend Oh, I was talking about their rail system not the gun. Their newer guns are very nice.
Sacarathe Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Well this is now changing my opinion, what length would you guys recommend The shortest you can get away with.
asbo1991 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 The shortest you can get away with. how comes, i was looking at the 9 inch thinking best of best worlds and can add a extension if needed
Garry46 Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 I've got the Amoeba KM12. New this year. £350 from patrol base. No problems. Loud gun! 7.4 lipo is good. Well made. Was shooting 290 fps with .25 blasters. Just had a Madbull 110 spring fitted. Now shooting 320 fps on .25g. Very accurate, hits hard and the range is brilliant. A lot of people comment on how nice the gun cracks, no silly gearbox or motor whine... Any more details mate by all means message me ??
Guest PT247 Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 how comes, i was looking at the 9 inch thinking best of best worlds and can add a extension if needed you don't need a long barrel in airsoft, makes no real difference, just extra weight and size which is a negative.

Any more details mate by all means message me What sites let you use that, 320 fps with .25 is more than 1.14J ([email protected])? Is it a DMR? EDIT: 320 @ .25 is about 358 with .20
Hef Legend Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 I highly rate my ares Vz.58 I honestly believe ares has changed and there newer guns no longer deserves the poor internal reputation of older ones You made a custom dust cover for bigger batteries didnt you? I'm looking at the Ares Vz.58 actually, looks nice.
Supporters sp00n Posted May 15, 2016 Supporters Posted May 15, 2016 You made a custom dust cover for bigger batteries didnt you? I'm looking at the Ares Vz.58 actually, looks nice. Sure did, I can easily get a 1200mah 11.1v lipo in there
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted May 15, 2016 Supporters Posted May 15, 2016 What sites let you use that, 320 fps with .25 is more than 1.14J ([email protected])? Is it a DMR? EDIT: 320 @ .25 is about 258 with .20 you mean 358 yeah it is aprox 35 to 40fps drop aprox on 0.20 figure when using 0.25's.... so it could be a bit over which some sites might allow at a high end squeeze but don't go nutz but over a couple of months that figure may decrease slightly as spring beds in etc.... a smidge hot on 350fps but in terms 8fps is about 2.5% hot another chrono may report 349.9999fps, variations in chrono/bb/gun can place that figure ranging from 348-358fps still hot but only a little.... I'd still be ok playing against people up to 10fps above site guideline limit like Mall say 330 or 340 absolute max
Hef Legend Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Sure did, I can easily get a 1200mah 11.1v lipo in there Mind if I PM you with some question, really tempted to purchase one if I can get it cheap enough with all the bits
Supporters sp00n Posted May 15, 2016 Supporters Posted May 15, 2016 Mind if I PM you with some question, really tempted to purchase one if I can get it cheap enough with all the bits No probs
Garry46 Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 My site runs runs a 368 fps on .20g, around 325 on .25g maximum. equates to the same roughly so no it's not a DMR. Full auto site.

asbo1991 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 So just to be a little different and the fact a TM416 is out of budget, I will give the 9" barrel ago unless Gary you really recommend the 12"?
Garry46 Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Sorry mate for the delay, I've been away, I couldn't advise on length, I just don't like using short guns. The km12 isn't very long though. If your doing cqb then 9 would be spot on.
