  1. god knows what it is, probably a PGC gearbox I hear, I mean at least have the decency to put a version 2 or 3.

     

    Final remark: BUY A MOTHERFOOKING G&P OR CLASSIC ARMY ONE! OR EVEN A TOP ONE FOR THAT MATTER.

    That seems a bit unnecessary. The PGC gearbox is designed for and is excellent at long bursts, i.e. support gunning. The V2 has quite a few problems, especially when compared to the PGC. The V3 would have been okay, but PGC still is best.

     

    Did you seriously just suggest a TOP over this? Wow. I don't even need to comment on that.

  2. Okay, since the last 20 pages of this thread dab in and out of the problems in this gun and it's hard and time consuming to go through all that and find what I'd need to do to make this workable, I could use a bit of help. So, can someone please (stealth, you seem to have a good handle on this) list all the problems this gun has had out of the box and solutions we KNOW will fix them? I'm really debating whether or not one of these is worth getting since they seem to have so many issues. Thanks y'all!

  3. SCAR was ripped off from an early prototype of CA

    Back this up or it's not true. How would JLS come into possession of a CA prototype to clone it?

     

    Anyways, good review, though I agree that it would be nice to have gone into detail about problems. Interesting note that it's a V6 gearbox. Maybe we'll see a JLS P90 soon.

  4. as for the semi auto problem, it has only happend to me a couple of times. also if you try and fire the gun from semi after the spring has been relaxed the gun has to set the spring position first therfore you have to squeeze the trigger twice on the first shot, that is perfectly normal.

    Sweet, it does use a precompressed spring! No one directly answered this before. Yay for army!!

  5. Again, I very highly doubt there will be an LSW or AFV. I love them both, but what we're all forgetting is that this company cloned another, so their line is limited to what that company produced. JG went a bit outside this with a few of their new armalites, but an LSW/AFV from an L85A1 is a very drastic change, and since G+G never made either, Army won't make them.

  6. Wait, so popping mags in and out a lot helps? YES!! An excuse to do that! God only knows how much time I spend popping mags in and out of guns partially just for the fun of it, and also to get a good feel for it so I can change quickly in battle.

  7. I think I'll wait a bit before ordering mine to make sure they get everything worked out. I'm intrigued if it indeed does come with a mini battery now, which would mean they swapped out the connectors on the gun. All the better, though, since an IB 8.4v is only $20 compared to $45 for a custom one.

  8. Mah new blade, got it in Spain last week. 5.5" blade. Awesome knife for 27 euros. Sorry about the bad picture, I had to put it in my scanner because I'm without a camera.

  9. Mine came from airsplat, actually. I ordered the original version but I was sent an R9. Oh well, I'm not complaining. I sent them an E-mail afterwards and they probably won't be making that same fortunate (for us) mistake anymore. I've had it for about 4 months now, and the most skirmishing it's seen is backyard battles (I lend it to my neighbors). Seems to hold up pretty well.

  10. Well, I've had it for a while and I figure I should get a review up here of the WELL P90. I was ordering a load of LPEGs for my travesty (yeag, vic, evilbob, you know what I mean) and a few P90s were in there. To my surprise they sent me the WELL R9s instead of the old, worse version of the P90. I was pleasantly surprised, since I had been itching to see how these were.

     

    The gun comes in a box with a picture of the P90 on it, plain and simple. Opening it up and lifting the gun out I realize that it is pretty much the same as the original. About 4 pounds, good quality plastic, a little nicer seeming though. The battery is like a normal mini this time though, 8.4v. It seems to be of decent quality and charges well with the included tricle wall charger. The hicap is around 300 rounds and feeds all right, not quite as well as the TM does (it is compatible btw). To my surprise, the magwell is nearly identical to the original. I was expecting it to have changed a bit. The feed mechanism is just a little more sophisticated to match the hicap instead of gravity hopper.

     

    It still has a fixed hopup, though improved over the original. The gearbox is a plastic one and is advertised at around 250 with a .2, which seems about right. The rate of fire is very quick, close to the same as the real steel. I estimate 850-900 RPM, definitely good enough for a CQB gun. The fixed hop is pretty decent and can land bbs in a man-sized target around 70 feet fairly reliably, 100 feet or so total. Compared to the originaly, this is pretty good. I could see this being an excellent backup, or even a CQB primary.

     

    Overall, the price difference over the original WELL P90 is basically a hicap, better gearbox and battery, and a more sophisticated hopup unit since I'm pretty sure it's the same body as the original. I'd say it's worth the money, though there is a bit that could be improved. Is it reccomend-able though? Yes, definitely. The 15,000 or so rounds through mine have left it in great condition so far, and I expect similar results for the future. If you want a decent budget P90, look no further.
