Georgej97 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hi I'm just getting into airsoft, I have just purchased my first AEG which is a g&g cm16 raider, not a really high end gun but it's okay since I'm just starting. Either way I just want some advice as to what you all think I should replace first, not really bothered about the gun being madly accurate or powerful, I just want to get it to a decent standard of reliability. Obviously the stock out the box version of the gun isnt as good as it could be. So what would you all recommended sorting first, thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm new too but I'd suggest to just enjoy it as is for now. Get a feel for it after a few games and then you'll have a better idea of what needs improving. Or wait until something breaks. From similar posts the advice has been to keep it standard and buy a better weapon before getting into modding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Prisce Posted July 24, 2017 Supporters Share Posted July 24, 2017 Leave it be. The best advice we can give you is use good quality BBs, preferably .25g or .28g, keep the barrel clean and use a 7.4v lipo. (Perhaps convert to deans also) Then save the money you would spend on upgrading the G&G and buy a higher end gun/ the design you want and modify it. The CM16 is great out of the box, and any mods you do to it aren't likely to improve its reliability or effectiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlord Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 .28's are good, but I seem to come across many CQB sites where the limit is .25. So depends where you want to play as to what you can use. On the outdoor parts I certainly felt I was getting better stability with 28's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjacabbage Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Whatever breaks first! If it ain't broke don't try and fix it, you will more likely cause more issues than you will fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshOnSnow Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 If you're exclusively playing CQB, I'd put in a lower powered spring like an SP85 or SP90, but only if you're feeling disappointed with the ROF and don't want to spend shedloads doing stuff to a motor that's already decent out the box for its price. Play some more first, then you can ask yourself your question and you'll already know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Haynes Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I got mine a couple of weeks or so ago. I was two small but cheap extras I got an angled fore grip and red dot sight Was about 20 for the pair. Just a heads up ( because it made me panic) on my one on semi auto sometimes the trigger get stuck And you have to swap to auto for a shot to clear it. Spoke to couple of people including my shop an he said he normal and should stop itself once it broken in a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
