M.T.A.A Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Hi guys! What do you think to the "Double Eagle" brand as a beginner gun? I know it's not the best out there? But im only a beginner at this so i'm willing to not carry the best gear Thanks
Supporters M_P Posted July 26, 2011 Supporters Posted July 26, 2011 crap. youd be better off throwing bb's
Mitchell Gee Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 All the internals are plastic... if you wanna know how rubbish they are hear this out... they PAINT the spring guide silver to make it look metal
Hubert Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Their electric pistols are good for the novelty value and very little else. I thought their tri-shot shotguns (the clones of the TM ones) were adequate, but you'd be far better off trying to find the real TM versions. (That said, everywhere I've checked has run out of stock of their shotguns, and at £30-50, I can understand why)
Cam-the-airsoft-sniper Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Also the motors they use are also found in M4 Box mags! And it has hearts on it!
G-Force Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 I thought their tri-shot shotguns (the clones of the TM ones) were adequate Trust me their not, they'll most likely fall apart on the first skirmish.
Hubert Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 I said 'adequate' not 'amazing'. They've survived skirmishes. One of my team mates has a DE tri-shot, has had it for nearly 2 years and it still works, despite being used as a primary. But you could really tell the difference between it and the TM version, the DE's plastic was very wobbly and the DE didn't have the long range of the TM. But as a cheap shotgun that fires 3-at-once, it can be used. IF you go in accepting that it's not perfect, you won't be dissapointed.
G-Force Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 That's what I meant, from my experiance with them their not adequate. A friend of mine had one and the entire gun fell apart on the first skirmish.
Hubert Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Either your mate was unlucky and got a really bad lemon, or my mates with DE shotties are super-naturally lucky, as I know 2 people with them, 1 of them has 3. No problems what so ever, apart from one user-inflicted muckup, involving ramming a clump of soil into the hopup/chamber bit. Of the 4, 1 is used as a primary, and has been for 2 years, 1 is used as a secondary - but is also a borrow/lend gun, and has seen an astonishing ammount of use and the other 2 are used on-off and are still going strong. Oh one of them had it's stock snap off, but like I said previously the plastics are most definitly not great. But, other DE stuff? Avoid. Without a doubt, avoid non-shotgun DE stuff. Avoid them like one would try to avoid the plague, or lava, or a Hanna Montanna concert.
Supporters M_P Posted July 26, 2011 Supporters Posted July 26, 2011 seriosly, if you hole-punch your scrotum you will end up happier than if you bought a double eagle gun
G-Force Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 I'm not complaining I got all the spare parts. Might put those plastic rails on my £50 electric g18c.
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted July 26, 2011 AF-UK Founding Member Posted July 26, 2011 You want to be spending £100+ on your first gun else it just isn't worth it.
M.T.A.A Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 seriosly, if you hole-punch your scrotum you will end up happier than if you bought a double eagle gun :') this alone is enough to make you NOT want one! aha. you made my day. I decided i'm gonna wait, and spend a little bit more cash than spend less now and be dissapointed
Supporters M_P Posted July 27, 2011 Supporters Posted July 27, 2011 I've still got a hole-puncher... Pm me if u need it
M.T.A.A Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 aha! should my life ever get that bad, It'll be the first thing i do
M.T.A.A Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 i think im gonna need to borrow that hole puncher! My friend just went and bought a DE
Cam-the-airsoft-sniper Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 i think im gonna need to borrow that hole puncher! My friend just went and bought a DE You need to hole punch HIS scrotum! Maybe not you though.... get him to do it himself!
M.T.A.A Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 Yeah... I'll let him do that himself.. However i could punch him in the face without any problems
