uscmCorps Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 The realistic feeling trigger is a very welcome design. If they'd release blank receivers so I can engrave whatever I want on it I'd be even happier. Link to post Share on other sites

LordElpus Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 That video is for the new Toptech models, the Combat Machines will just have a microswitch trigger. Although if the new price doesn't chance much it will be the best budget range of M4s on the market. The CM range already has nice fps consistency, decent range and accuracy OTB. Hopefully they have ditched the weak motor for something better. Link to post Share on other sites

Wingmann Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 That video is almost full of win. I hope that buffer tube has got a Dean connector inside, but other than that, very interesting stuff, and more probable than the ASAR-Nukem' Forever. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 After watching that video it looks very interesting! The trigger looks like an awesome design! Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 God-dammit, I searched to see if that video had been posted before I posted some silly new thread... Damn you Tapatalk! Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'd certainly take G&G over the ARES. The WE 'attempt'... Just.. I can't even... Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 So aside from incorrect dimensions or whatever, what is wrong with ARES? A lot is wrong depending on the person. I only look at facts, and the fact is, ARES globally sells like hot cakes. Everything else is personal hurt feelings. Business is not charity, it is reality. I know that RC will be for the rest of his life at them, can't blame him either. Still, when you read the news, that people die when overworking in a factory, you tend to put everything in a larger perspective. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Do they sell like hot cakes? Honest question, I'd like to see the stats. Only ask as I see very, very few ARES guns at games and posted online compared to other brands. Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I see allot of them sat in the safe zone broken or *fruitcage*ed because noone has one of the modules to change the settings. Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Yes there are and a great many of them are covered by these internet forums and the like we all use where people post their guns up. As I said, rarely see people showing off their ARES guns, that's why I queried the proposition. I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying I see no evidence. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

FireKnife Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I have come across three that I know of in 8 years of playing. One was a hand me down from the STAR M249s and it never worked. The other two were Tavors, one of which had inconsistent FPS readings and the other worked fine. So of the 3 in about 3000 guns I have seen at sites, one didn't work at all, one was inconsitent and one worked fine, not great in my opinion. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 these nice talks remind me of a radio broadcast, good times. Now, about the G&G honey badger any guesses on it's release? Link to post Share on other sites
Pdubyuh Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I once owned a STAR M249 it was great, while it worked.. eventually took it back to the shop and exchanged it for a CA scar. I swore to never get another ares gun again, then they released the HB and I was tempted, I thought a sod it I can change the internals if needs be but shhh I dont want to say it too loud for fear of getting home and finding the internals leaking out of the barrel as they've turned into melted cheese but so far it seems to be working pretty well and I leant it out for a day as one of my friends had a small crane stock fire and he loved using it!

Azubi Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Like I said, perspective. There are more markets than just the UK. I've played across three continents with people from all over the world. Now, although I haven't played with everyone in the world, I don't think I have ever met anyone that thinks highly of them. Certainly no one that would buy another that I am aware of. Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Do they sell like hot cakes? Honest question, I'd like to see the stats. Only ask as I see very, very few ARES guns at games and posted online compared to other brands. There are two bakeries on the same industrial estate as my workshop alone and I can safely say nothing in the airsoft market actually sells like hotcakes. I reckon a pretty good indicator of what sells like hotcakes in airsoft terms though would be to look at what retailers are stocking, restocking and expanding their range of since retailers don't tend to continue stocking poor selling products, G&G seem to fare far better by that measure than ARES from my observations over the years.
