G&G LevAR 15

[Rogerborg]

It's been really great the way that AIrsoftWorld have handled this, and I hope they don't get hung out to dry by G&G.

 

However, my primary concern is owners, who are out £400 for a paperweight that they've been told not to use until-and-if a fix is rolled out, while the clock is running on their right to reject.

 

And a gen 1 (or 2 or 3 or 4) fix for gen 1 problems is often pushed out by marketing rather than engineering, so I'd be hesitant to trust anything rolled out in haste now.

 

Frankly, I'd hope to see a recall of all guns sold, and (at minimum) a retailer fix applied.  Because if they send out new grips to owners, and they still fail, then it might become a "Well, you must have fitted it wrong" wrangle. The longer you hang onto it, the harder it'll be to get your money back.

 

tl;dr - if I'd bought one, it would be on the way back for a refund, no reasons given.  Which suck for retailers, but it sucks more for owners.

Be interested to see how this pans out. I work at a vehicle OEM and we test things like you wouldn't believe but we can't simulate every possible outcome. When something a bit unexpected happens that results in a product failure, and we can replicate it, everyone in R&D is mortified.

 

That said, checking it still works after it falls over seems like a basic test...
