emilianoksa Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I don't often see posts about King's Arms, Nuprol Delta, Valken or Bolt. Even Classic Army doesn't get mentioned much. Why are they not so popular? Some of them are expensive, which suggests they are of a decent standard. In most posts about M4s the same brands seem to come up almost automatically: ICS, VFC, Krytac, G&G, TM, Ares Amoebas, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Gepard Posted April 15, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 15, 2018 Probably because the brands that do get mentioned have been tested over years by countless airsofters to show that they're durable, shoot well and are well priced for what you get. You could buy something that might be okay, or you could buy something that you know will perform well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Nuprol AEG’s are crap. King arms and classic army were the big companies when the market wasn’t so saturated. King arms stuff is actually really nice. I just think the likes of G&G and ICS keep making more and more new lines/Series, where as king arms might make the odd new model every now and then.

Supporters Lozart Posted April 15, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 15, 2018 Plus g&g and ics make decent starter level guns and that's what usually gets asked about most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Druid799 Posted April 15, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 15, 2018 Plus Airsoft brands are just like any other product , you have your ‘fashionable’ Flavour of the month ones , you have your ‘ooh all the tacticool kids use it so I must have it !’ ones , and then you have the reliable ones that just keep plodding along making plain Jane bomb proof ones !

Supporters Sitting Duck Posted April 16, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 16, 2018 Price, stock availability, personal experiences/reviews etc..... UK - G&G's are very popular and on the whole the prices are pretty good (see GunFire's pricing of G&G's, we do OK in UK for G&G's) A retailer will know that "everybody has one" Combat Machine will sell An ARX160, R85, Galil, SCAR may not ship asap and likely carry a higher price than CM16 or Cyma AK or JG G36c etc.... So retailers will stock what stuff shifts easily - supply & demand etc.... Straight forward stuff sells, easy/cheap to service/maintain/upgrade/parts to hand Maybe also coz we get asked what to buy & we usually go with the "safer bets/choices" Stuff that doesn't cost the earth for new players, should work ok for a while and last a bit Some stuff is seriously overpriced/over rated and most will tell you the truths No dressing stuff up, no sponsorship on here - if we think something is $hit we will say it And at the end of the day - they are just poxy toy guns for big kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilianoksa Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 I think they make one of the best lower face masks on the market. I am tempted to try another of their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted April 17, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 17, 2018 Mate......oh, mate. Wait until you can afford the good stuff. It's good compared to a lot of the other cheap Chinese crap, granted but it's really not THAT good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted April 17, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 17, 2018 They used to make them with mesh. I agree that the looks of the new ones are....different. To be fair, the cost/benefit thing I was driving at was more the quality of their other stuff rather than the masks specifically. I know we're getting into the realms of gear whoring now though so I'll say this for clarity - NOBODY has to spend more than they want to on their kit. All I'm saying is that while One Tigris is good value for money, compared with even some of the lower end "genuine" gear (the likes of Warrior Assault Systems etc) it really is pish.

steakandpotato Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Someone really needs to explain Nuprol to me. From what I understood, they're just a rebranded WE - And people like WE but dislike Nuprol. Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of hate for Nuprol in these here parts because they royally screwed up on their initial forays into branding other people stuff (BBs mainly) and for being less than transparent about just putting their name on other peoples stuff. Not everything WE makes is good though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
