Click_Dublin Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Thinking of investing in an AEG, I was going to get a CYMA CM.520, I know, I know!!! I was going to upgrade it over time but when I totted up the cost it would end up more expensive than a more decent entry level or intermediate rifle. OK, I'm aware Classic Army have a range of out of the box electronic trigger, tight bore (6.03) AEG's which seem OK? Is any other manufacturer offering similar/better spec. for under 150new? I was looking at the Specna Arms CORE range but can't seem to find anything about the trigger mech., is it just a normal contact type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Prisce Posted February 18, 2019 Supporters Share Posted February 18, 2019 What are you actually after? A decent performing gun? A gun with certain bits installed? Look at G&Gs range under £150, they have a few nice little offerings. Not sure what ICS have at that price point, but their RIFs are worth having a look at.

Don't really care what it looks like, just want good, acurate performance. The reason I asked about Classic Army is that they seem to have broken a price point by supplying an AEG rifle with programmable trigger/mosfet + 6.03 bore, reasonable interal bits. I understand that all of this is built down to a price! I was just wondering if any other makers are offering something similar or better. I'll have a look at the G&G's as they seem to have a good reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted February 18, 2019 Supporters Share Posted February 18, 2019 6.03 is a red herring, a good 6.07 is much better than a mediocre 6.03. Likewise, if the manufacturer can get a programmable MOSFET into a £150 gun they're cutting serious corners elsewhere. If you want a solid performer at that price point get a G&G combat machine.

Thanks for the reply. Yep, the research I'm doing is pointing towards the G&G brand, solid & reliable which is what I'm looking for. I do like the ICS split gearbox, just seems like a much better engineered solution, it pushes my budget a bit. Any disadvantages to the split gearbox?

Sneaky Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I have not had any issues with the ICS split gear boxes in the past. The G&G combat machines work great and are solid. I have put through 17k rounds through my ARP9 and had no issues with it. Highly recommended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G&G ARP9 get's really good reviews. One question for you since you've put a lot of BB's down the barrel! Have you had any issues with the ETU regarding battery voltage? I've come across some lads saying you 'must' run 11.1v with the G&G ETU's as the Mosfet cut-off they use is quite high & unless you have a fairly new 7.4v lipo it can sometimes just stop running after a hundred rounds or so but with a 11.1v it just keeps running & running. My concern with a 11.1v pack is the strain it could/will put on the gearbox/moving parts? What do you use, 7.4v or higher? what's the biggest capacity battery you can fit in the ARP9 stock?

E21A Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Use 11.1v or you’ll have problems. Gun runs just fine on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Prisce Posted February 21, 2019 Supporters Share Posted February 21, 2019 They are built for the 11.1V, so that’s what you should use. I hate trying to find a battery that fits inside a stock or tube. I completely remove the obstacle and wire the battery to a little stock pouch, so I can put a mahoosive “car battery” as my team mates call it, in it without any issue.

Sneaky Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Use 11.1v for the full potential. Had no issues with the ETU and the dust off does what is says on the tin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know 👍, 'dust off'? must be a typo, if not where do I get a mahoosive tin of dust off😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
