Friend got the G36C model. Way better build quality and weight balance than the CA I had.
Anyone know what 9.6 battery can fit in the Umarex/Ares G36C model handguard? Having trouble finding one.
I used a Tenergy 1400 MaH NiMh battery initially, and that was a VERY tight fit. In fact, I used some liquid tape (which is like a rubber coating) on some of the sharper edges in the battery area to minimize battery wire damage. I have also used a 1100 MaH LiPo which required some padding to keep the battery from moving around.

BTW, another video is up showing how to disable/ enable the blowback.

Does it take a standard AEG piston?
I have not had to change one, but it certainly looks and feels like every other piston.

Nike, I believe he is asking me (the OP) if I had anymore pictures, which I do not. ahadsz, the links you posted are dead links. Did you place the products into your shopping cart and link from there? Some shopping carts have a life of about 20 minutes.

So all in all, would you guys recommend this? The guy who wrote the review said it was a fail, but how are the other models like the k and the g36? If so what battery would be best to use on it? 11.1v or 9.6v or 10.8?
In all fairness, I gave the following summary of my review:
Look and feel : 8.5 / 10
Practicality : 8 / 10
Mechanical : 5 / 10
I know of another owner who had the same gearbox issues I had, but I also know another who has had no issues. It is the simplest gearbox I have ever worked on (only 6 to date, so take that with a grain of salt), so when I had issues, I was able to fix quickly. It is also a very accurate weapon that can easily be dialed into about 180 feet with no mods. I am able to use all of my existing mini batteries, and with the M4 magwell adapter, I am also able to use all of my M4 mags.
As for LiPo, the gearbox is strong, and there are steel bushings, so it should be able to handle it.

Did it come with a black flash hider? Or did you find an after market CW one?
Mine came with a crappy plastic orange flash hider, but ebairsoft has a few at very good prices.

Not my video but it does show the proper HK trades under the sticker.
Absolutely amazing!! There is a sticker over the trades. I was feeling the etching, but it was through the sticker!! I had to use a razor blade to get it off, but off it came.
FeldJager, If I had points to give, you would get them all. Nice Find!!

Also my rifle is having some real problems. I dissasmebled it now when i try putting it back together the charging handle cant pull back after the gearbox without force.
There is a sliding mechanism along the top of the gearbox that connects with the piston and powers the blowback. You might have this in upside down.
-
I can confirm that these are etched, and colored, as I am sitting here with the gun in my hands and I can feel the etching.
As for the gears, when I had the sector gear fail on me, I replaced all the gears temporarily with a spare set I had on the bench, that came from a cheap stock gun.
-
Is the flash hider removable? Or is it glued on?
The flash-hider is cheap plastic and is easily removable with a hair-dryer.
An Update: I have since replaced and re-shimmed the gears and the gun has worked flawlessly. It has earned a reputation with my teammates with its accuracy.
-
Yes I am wondering this as well.. Does it except standard TM items like the rail system, stock conversions, etc...
And the magazine, is it standard tm based g36 mags?
And What is the largest battery cell size that could go in this gun? SC? I have a 9.6v SC size cell battery..
Also how is the accuracy/range/effective accuracy? The muzzle adapter un-threads? what kind of threading?
The Mag that came with the gun worked in another persons KWA G36. I use 9.6 1400 MaH batteries and I cannot imagine much bigger fitting, but I would bet a butterfly 2000 might fit.
Accuracy-wise it has become one of my favorites. Flash hider is CW.

quick question that is kinda the deciding point on me buying this thing lol
is it compatable with the socom gear m4 , magwell and stock convrsion things?
I run an M4 Magwell conversion and it works great. Not sure about particular brands, I got my adapter here:

im really hoping you just got a lemon
Unfortunately, another player just last week when I had my first gearbox issue, had a catastrophic sector gear failure on his new G36. Total gear replacement for him.
Look and feel : 8.5 / 10
Practicality : 8 / 10
Mechanical : 5 / 10
Final verdict: If I had my money back, I would not buy this gun again.

Well, another skirm, and another gearbox issue with this gun. This time a poor shim job on the bevel gear caused that wonderful grinding noise that makes every airsofter sick. The pic below is full size so you can see some detail, and even the metal shavings on my pinion gear.
-
The gun looks great, even despite the ugly white paint over the marking and that hated 6mm caliber. The rest looks awesome.
It was bound to have some sort of QC fail, still, that isn't a big deal IMO.
One question: Is the marking engraved?
Yes, the trademarks are engraved/etched with the white paint in the etching.
-
Thanks for the review.
I have allways wanted one of these for my all CQB/PMC loadout.
May I ask where you purchased from and how much it cost?
Thanks.
Airsoft Megastore for $260 USD.
I definitely agree that this would be an excellent gun for CQB, especially since I can swap out the spring so easily. I have an extra M100 just waiting to be used.

Some gearbox pics
First and foremost is the reason for the jam. It was a small piece of metal that looked like a sheered metal piston tooth, got stuck in the second notch.. After verifying that all gears / teeth are still in place I felt better.
ARES QC hang your heads in shame.
I am still new to airsoft so I am not the best judge of what is best and worst, so I will stick to what I know.
The bushings are steel, with a bearing on the bevel gear. The piston teeth are plastic in the first half and metal the second half.
The slide on the top is what activates the blowback when the piston is pulled back. A theory of mine is that I would probably pick up the missing 10-15 FPS if I removed that, but I like the sound for now.
The trigger is an electronic switch as opposed to a traditional open copper switch..

This is the officially licensed version of H&K's G36C made by Ares under license by Umarex.
Standard Marketing Materials:
- Overall Length = 29"; 20.5" with rear stock folded
- Barrel Length = 247mm
- Magazine Capacity = 430 Rounds Hi-Cap magazine included
- Gearbox: Full metal, 8mm bearings with reinforced metal high-speed gears
- Velocity = 375-390+ fps with 0.20 gram BBs
- Rate of Fire = 900 RPM with 8.4v battery, 1000+ RPM with 9.6v battery
- Weight = 6.3 lbs.
- Power = 8.4V, 9.6V NiMh Battery
- Adjustable hop-up unit Adjustable rear sight
- Full length top rail, 3x RIS pieces integrated into forward hand guard
Overall look and feel is totally solid. Everything is tight (except for one quirky selector switch) with no rattles or creaks. A quick allen wrench to the selector switch set screw fixed that.
All of the rails were solid, and the stock folding mechanism and lock also feel tight. The controls are truly ambidextrous with a fire-mode selector on each siide, the mag release directly in front of the trigger guard, and even the charging handle hinges from center to what ever side you are pulling from.
The gun can be taken apart with no tools by removing the three body pins. There are even holes in the stock to hold the pins so you do not lose them (you can see the pins below near the front of the stock).
Although I had some disappointing chronos out of the box, that was due to a really dirty barrel, and after cleaning it the FPS averaged out around 370. With a 9.6v mini fresh off the charger, I was able to achieve 25 RPS, but that number plateaued around 22RPS after 50-100 rounds.
! I am typically not a fan of alot of electric blowback guns, but this blowback is a full 2 inches of stroke and actually adds a bit of recoil to the gun. My teammates can always tell where I am in the woods by the sound of this gun.I have some minor difficulty with a mini 9.6v 1400 MaH battery in the foregrip, but nothing that does damage to the battery. The main spring can be swapped out in less than five minutes with nothing more than a flat-head screwdriver and an allen wrench (the image below is the back of the gearbox). Once you unscrew that plate below, you use an allen wrench to push and turn the spring guide 90 degrees, and pull out. There is also a
directly in front of the trigger.
I have a magwell adapter on order that will allow me to use my M4/M16 mags with this gun, which was a top reason for getting this gun; I can use the same battery, and mags as my GR16. This cannot come too soon as the included mag misfeeds alot. Although I can get the 20+ RPS on the audio, I always lose 3-4 RPS on the chrono.
I used this gun in an event last week and the gun performed fantastic right up until the gearbox jammed. Another player with the exact same gun also jammed his gearbox, and even stripped piston teeth. For me the issue was a small piece of metal, like a piston tooth, that had lodged in the second tooth of the piston. Once that was removed (and I verified that it was not from any existing gears) everything has been great. So epic fail to Ares quality control, and a heads up to other prospective owners to tear down and clean out the gearbox before using!

Thankfully you are having a better experience than others. I personally have had three of these in for repair in the last month, and I am not impressed.
