Or reliable . Am sitting back and waiting to see what comes out this year . All the manufacturers seem to have shifted up a gear with the guns due out this year . The g&g seems to be giving the most new features for a gun . Having to cock the gun before firing it brings something new to the electric gun market . Also the black ops 416 guns are due to land soon . Expensive ( 600 quid) but amazing trigger response , easily matching tw type guns . Think my bank manager is not going to be happy later this year ..

The big plus is that g&g tend to give fully backed up after sales support and 2 year warrantys on their top end stuff and we also have pas their main agent in the uk for spares / parts backup The big plus is that standard quick release spring guns hit a wall when you go for high power springs with the quick change motor you can overcome this by changing motors depending on the spring strength . On a standard gun you will have to keep stripping it down to change the motor . Also with everything being modular if a part fails its just a quick unit change rather than a gearbox strip down to

Personally I think the g&g g box gun will be the best of the bunch as their qc is brilliant at the moment . And they seem to have ticked every box for a tw type gun with its innovative features . Quick spring change / cylinder . Quick motor change . Electronic monitoring of the gearbox , charge handle , bolt are linked in to this as well . Empty mag / cock weopon before it can fire . Empty mag stop as well , Fine tuning for fps and trigger . The list keeps getting ] better and better .

Best bet is to find a shop that has them or someone you know with them so you can get a feel for both in the flesh . What area are you in ?

The 97 b has a high speed motor and gears fitted whereas the 97 has a high torque motor . I prefer the 97 for woodland as I have the fps up to 350 which the motor pulls easily . Or very fast on 11.1 with an occasional overspin . The longer body and ergonomics make it the perfect counter sniper gun . Whereas the 97 b is more of a close up cqb gun with exeptional range . It is also a lot easier to fit a peq box , torch etc externally to the 97 due to the holes in the front foregrip which you can fix ris rails to if required . Accuracy and range are very good on both variants with the 97 only

My friend recently brought a uk delivered one through fire support and the trades had been factory painted over , took him a few days to gingerly remove the paint to re exposé the trades .

Seems that every manufacturer is bringing out a training weopon this year .may be worth sitting back and waiting to see which one reigns supreme ..

Skirmished my 56. 1 at rift airsoft last week and to the site owners and marshals disbelief I was accurately hitting a man size target at 65/ 70 meters on the range . This is on an out of the box non modded gun at 350 fps . This is now my primary skirmish weopon , for obvious reasons .

No point in using a real steel receiver as they are identical anyway , same materials , Made in the same factory , only differences are the pistol grip and a minor mod to the folding stock , apart from that no differences at all , same with all their guns which use real steel materials for their construction , dragunov , type 97 etc ..

With a very minor mod to the Lonex magazines ( grind the corners ) I can confirm they do fit and feed flawlessly ..

5 years ago I would have laughed in people's faces if they told me g&g made or were going to make decent. , reliable guns . Nowadays its the complete opposite . I sing there praises . Entry level cm guns are reliable shoot accurately at 40 Mtrs plus out of the box and out last their 1 year warrantys . Top techs have 6.03 barrels as standard , good wiring and decent internals . And two year warrantys which are totally backed up by pas the uk main agent . I do agree that some manufacturers are still churning out the same rubbish internals / externals in there overpriced guns ( ares , magpu

Still got a very long trigger pull on this gun . Really puts me off it .

Gun quality and what a basic entry level gun can obtain have changed a lot . G&g combat machines at 100 / 160 pounds can outlast / outrange guns at double the money . Real sword have been using real gun externals and dimensions for a while now . To me the rs dragunov is the only gun that is worth its price tag , externally perfect , internally strong and shoots like nothing else out of the box . Lipo battery's and mosfets are giving trigger response that in some cases betters the systema guns Also proper warrantys on Airsoft guns are becoming mor available at some retailers , up to 2

Still waiting for the real sword guns to be put into production and end all the tw which am bestest gun threads .. Trouble with training weopons is the fact that they are built to train on and pump out bbs on a platform designed not to be accurate out of the box . So more money has to be sunk into them to make them accurate , reliable and truly skirmishable at the levels everyone expects if sinking a large cash sum into them . Maybe 5 years ago they were cutting edge , but with the newer aegs / qc improvements and Airsoft technology becoming cheaper and more mass produced by many manufactur

Lipo adapters are available from Firesupport

Be interesting to see how g&g s gbox gun fits into the tw battle once it arrives ..

That's like buying a Bugatti veyron and then bolting on a set of aftermarket wheels from halfords. !!! The front silencer is made from billet aluminium and a permanently fitted / part of the gun . So its not possible to just unscrew it !!!! It has an outer and inner jacket , soundproofed + a barrel and inner barrel that would have to be cut through . If you wanted a project gun you would just buy a standard aug and mod that .

all that's missing from that lot is an afv

I love the rubber sock they put over the motor and the airtight gearbox . Wrapped and tapped and then fibreglass sound deadening around it . They even sealed and padded out the ejection ports to reduce noise . God help anyone who tries to get the gearbox out of one of these . Like the 3 stage trigger circuit as well

The aug shadow was a 650 pound gun to buy back in the days they were available . The whole gun was soundproofed before the the parts of the body were fused/ glued together . Gearbox was wrapped in sound deadening mesh and foam and matting . Tm and first factory parts inside the gun . First factory tightbore inside a custom made soundproofed silencer barrel . Supposed to be silent / not audible from as close as 5mtrs . Modified trigger/ wiring and contacts to improve response . A very accurate and usable gun and shorter than a standard aug ..

its a shadow aug . Expensive , custom from the factory and designed to be silent , accurate and damn rare and very expensive . Why ruin perfection .? Every bit of that gun is packed with sound deadening material including the silencer top quality internals as well . the rolls Royce of Augs .

Check that the under barrel safety is completely off . Also the grip safety is pushed in tightly when you pull the trigger . Mine had minor issues with the grip safety being realy tight to start with . Once bedded in it solves itself

Frog lube

Frog lube the slide, trigger mech and usual bits especialy the grip safety . And then these guns cycle briliantly and fire realy well

The gun needs lubing up before use as everything is very dry on we guns , the xdm even more so .
