Josh95 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi, Some of you oldies might remember me. I took a break from all things airsoft for a few years now. Has anything changed since I have been gone, any cool new tech in airsoft? Any new sites in Essex? or is it same old same old? I see Billericay Skirmish in the woodlands as I go past on the train every morning, so it sparked my interest again. I have this odd thing called a job now and I actually have money rather than living off beans at uni. So considered getting back into this expensive hobby...

James1989 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Main law updates anything that can do full auto and shoots 370fps + is now illegal and catagorised as a real fire arm. From 3 years ago I dont recall anything changing UKARA wise. Newish big brands Krytac are well regarded as better than most but Tokyo Marui retain thier crown. Nuprol and cyma are producing M4 variants that don't suck if your looking for a budget weapon. Cant think of anymore major updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceni Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Electric triggers have come a long way forwards. Models such as the gate titan offer the shooter the opportunity to dial a trigger to how they want it. Without having to do any major modifications other than fitting the unit and running a computer program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people seem to have the opinion that cyma M4s are rubbish but don't really elaborate on why. I personally haven't used one so couldn't say if they are any good for the budget or not though. Have you used one to give your personal opinion on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if you show someone a CYMA M4 they laugh CYMA AK guns though and it's "oh that's not so bad" Never really explained why although for <£100 I doubt the guns can have the best internals, I mean, polymer receiver is fair enough but it's the metal parts... On £80 how do you build it all and expect to make profit without skimping somewhere? Obviously mass production is on their side for the price and all that but even then, it still has to outweigh the production cost after X amount of units have sold. Think it just a "pay for what you get" and that's really it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted March 2, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 2, 2018 The older CYMA M4s were rubbish, the newer ones aren't AS bad but are pretty much of a muchness with any other cheap AEG really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it just a "pay for what you get" and that's really it. It defiantly seems like many people are against them just because other people are. They certainly aren't worth spending money on upgrading when you could just put that cash towards a new rifle and like you said the internals can't be great even when taking mass production into account. I've been tempted to buy one in the past just to see if they are as bad as everyone makes out and keep it as a backup should I need it. 19 minutes ago, Lozart said: The older CYMA M4s were rubbish, the newer ones aren't AS bad but are pretty much of a muchness with any other cheap AEG really. There doesn't seem to be many reviews of them really and the ones I have seen say pretty much the same as you. They are cheap AEGs and they work as a beginner/spare rifle but don't expect the world for around £80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callumbagshaw Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I got a Cyma tactical AK as my first ever RIF. Since, I've invested hundreds, maybe thousands into all sorts of guns and upgrades, including Krytac, KJW KC-02 w/upgrades, JG VSR etc. The Cyma AK honestly stands up to all of them. It's not quite as good in terms of effective range, or RPS, but the difference is small when compared to the difference in price! The only gripe I have with it is that the battery slot had awkward dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James1989 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 To clarify have CYMA MP5 and AK which are good fun. I have not used the m4 I am going on forum/facebook feedback. I believe my exact words were "dont suck" I mean compare them to a TM they probably do but compared to a g&g raider they seem to give a run for thier money.

If you want a budget M4 I don't know why anybody wouldn't buy a CM16. I just wish G&G made an AK variant with the same performance for the same price.
