Hello All,

 

My cheap Cyma M4 has finally given up on me,

 

I'm looking for some suggestions for a new AEG Assault Rifle? - any style I just want something reliable and consistant.

 

Any suggestions for whats good value at the minute?

 

Many thanks in advance

Have you considered a CYMA M4?  Or better yet, a CYMA AK?

 

No, I'm not joking.  If you think there are more reliable brands out there, I'd invite you to give yourself a good, hard shake.

 

All airsoft gnus are cheap Chinese(ish) vendor trash with a huge markup and random quality control.  Some are trashier than others, but it's all good luck, bad luck, personal personal anecdotes and magical thinking

 

Toyko Marui might be an exception, but given that TM owners seem to think that 0.8 Japanese Joules are better than 1.13 Chinese Joules, I wouldn't pay good money to find out.

 

What's wrong with your CYMA, why don't you want to fix it, and what are you planning to do if you buy a Krytac that turns out to be a lemon as well?

Apologies I should add that my cyma was around £100 when I bought it about 6 years ago. its tatty, plastic, cracked and time to be retired.

 

I have nothing against Cyma! and would own another, I was just hoping for recomendations for whats good on the market nower days for my budget!

If you got 6 years out of a plastic Cyma you did good.

If I had £300 to spend on a gun at this moment in time I'd drop £250 on an E&L AK. All steel construction so they take an absolute pounding and decent internals. Then spend the rest on a couple of mags and a battery.

With a battery as well it'll put you just over budget.


For the gear that goes with it, all you need to run an AK is a Chicom vest. You can get them cheap as chips on Ebay. There's a few styles with 3 or 4 pouches. Type 81 is 4 pouch, Type 56 is 3 pouch.

If you do get a gun from gunfire you can have them downgrade it for 1p. Just go to the technical support area before you buy and add the downgrade and FPS you want.

Edit:

Just noticed that there is an option to get the same gun with a cheap charger and a battery for £1 more! You will need a different cable for the charger but as a spare for the kit bag or even if you never use it and just have the battery it's a reasonable deal.
