Rogue Trooper, you said the dual sight are a pile of zhit, but the real sights are the same pile of ######. Its not ARES/UMAREX fault.
As for the hopup, i've never have any problem. My g36c is running strong since day 1, 8 months & 30.000 bbs ago, with only 2 little upgrades: a deans connector and a H nub, and allways using 7.4x1600x20c lipos.
So, i dont think they are bad. Lemons are lemons.
