Johngalt311 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 The first and only video review of the TSI Tavor to this date by JGA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_l9OnaFWos Very negative review, but the electronics demonstration in part four looks promising for the future of airsoft.

MCXL Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 JUST ORDERED MINE! LOOKS SO NICE. In all seriousness, what happened? Wasn't this supposed to be a nice gun? Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Wow i feel sick and in total disbelief after seeing the reviews on their Galils i find it nearly impossible to believe that this gun came from the same company Link to post Share on other sites
PECEMKR45 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 It seems almost to bad to be true. I am truely sorry in so many ways. I had high expectations despite the continous delays. Link to post Share on other sites
Johngalt311 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Ditto peacemaker. They were supposed to make such high quality replicas too. But guess thats what happens when a very small company, whose seemingly only employee is Guy himself, tries to make a competitively priced rifle. Link to post Share on other sites
deltasniper Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Guy, the Owner/Operator of TSI, is a great guy and I was impressed when I first held and felt the gun last year. When I talked to him last year, he was having some troubles getting some stuff worked out. One thing to remember is that it is 1:1 scale unlike the other company (Ares I beleive.) I think a few T & E runs, and the gun will be out on the fields. Nick Out. Happy Veterans Day to all who have earned it. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Foxhound Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 To be honest, there is no excuse for the prototype being that crappy. Buy the Ares version. You send something to get reviewed, it better be good. This wasn't. Link to post Share on other sites

Roman! Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I have never seen a review where the reviewer actually seemed to be fighting the AEG, and losing. The guy's frustration was palpable. I fully expected him at some point to just slam the thing on the floor and walk off. This thing looked more like a prototype than a production model. Hard to believe that this model will be able to compete with the Ares version. I wish this product had been better, I had high hopes. Link to post Share on other sites
Bando Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 if this is not a lemon i see preorders disapearing in 3..2.. Link to post Share on other sites
david pithers Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Cancelled my order which id had since may. But with regards to guy and Tsi, i cant fault them for customer service. Refund was prompt and they've always been happy to answer any questions. I think they've overstretched there means. I wish them all the best though Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Ouch. Good review, if a little heavy handed. The externals do seem both poorly designed and poorly made, which is a bit of a shock. Echo 1 mechbox? Not necessarily a bad thing. If a high-end Gucci mechbox had been used, the gun would cost (a lot) more than it does. Mechbox jammed: yeah, using an (apparently barely charged) Intellect stick pack. Plastic hop-up, not necessarily a bad thing neither. I can't help but compare this gun with the JLS RX4, another unique AEG model designed from scratch. The RX4 is also mostly plastic, but extremely beefy and solid with no creaky, frail bits and weird assembly with tiny screws and parts that break off. To get to the battery, you remove one huge nut, no tools needed. To remove the upper receiver, you punch out one big pin. Complete takedown to the mechbox is done via the removal of 4 philips machine screws. The hop-up is of poor quality (aftermarket 2-piece M4 hop-up recommended), but the mechbox is brilliant, good motor. Overall an impressively successful design, and a well-made final product, definitely way better than what I'm seeing in these videos. Which is a little worrying since the RX4 is a cheap chinese gun and the TSI Tavor is an expensive Gucci gun. \/ \/ \/ nice avatar Andrew. xD Link to post Share on other sites
