KentAirsoft Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Just wanted opinions on this gun. Owners experience, and preferences on upgrades if entirely essential. Not a huge tech savvy, i plan on working on it for upgrades, obviously this gun is going to be a bit tricky. The plan is not to upgrade at all, as i wanted a stock, reliable gun and not too bothered by the lower fps. Any and all opinions on whether this is a good idea or not. P.s - Any clue on the type of range available on this gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Prisce Posted March 3, 2019 Supporters Share Posted March 3, 2019 Very good gun. Convert the connector to Deans, use 7.4V lipos, feed it good quality .28g BBs. It will perform amazingly. Probably 50M range? Other than that, leave it stock till something breaks or it needs servicing(likely to be 5years down the line) and then consider “upgrades”(mosfet and stronger gears are usual upgrades) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentAirsoft Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Nice awesome, just wanted a refresher post also, see if any new opinions formed. Previously owned a G&G TR16 and worked beautifully out of the box, but wanted a bit of aupgrade, just wanted to see if it was a step up! First TM, so heard so much good, just wanted to see if there was any bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Druid799 Posted March 3, 2019 Supporters Share Posted March 3, 2019 There’s good and bad with ALL guns but a lot less with the TM’s ! 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Other than convert to lipo, which can be done by most places that sell them for a small amount, leave it be. They’re one of those guns where you either upgrade nothing or upgrade everything. At least in terms of the gearbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stuff on the way is mini-T AEG to mini-T Lipo. Will this cause me problems? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 The 416 has a special battery that just slots in without a plug. It just has contacts that it presses against. You can’t use any battery besides the stupid, super expensive, proprietary 8.4 without converting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkee Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Or just buy a KWA ERG which does exactly the same thing as a TM recoil, just better and cheaper. Don't believe the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great quality externally and internally, with a simple 7.4 lipo mod(even the adapter isn't bad, will add pic for reference) and a bit of time setting your hop you will see 50m with ease. I had mine about a year before fully upgrading (only upgraded as wanted the btc to instantly switch between full and burst on my phone) nothing on my rifle has every gone wrong or broken, count me lucky maybe but just a barrel clean every now helped to keep consistency year and a half many many bbs slung and still performing better than most £1000+ builds my team use.

Not owned one of their GBBR though I bought their LM4 GBBR, the official licensed Magpul one. The paint on the upper receiver stripped when I tried to install a Magpul MBUS onto it, first time. Definitely not a KWAlity product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
