M^tt Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Well I've been looking around for awhile now and really like the look of the CA33E aeg. I prefer the smg style grips and stock and the fact its got a metal body is great plus. However I've been looking at a few reviews im a tad worried about the power this thing produces, some have said around 350fps out of the box, which would leave me with a aeg which I couldnt legally use Any suggestions on this point ? were these reviews correct ? Ubar has said there is a attachment for the end of the barrel to reduce the power should I need to ? anyone got any info on these. Do sites chrono each gun before allowed onsite ? would they turn someone away if they had this gun if it really was kicking out 350fps stock ? Cheers Matt Link to post Share on other sites
michael_collins Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Im in agreement with ya Matt i really like the look of this gun, and id gladly buy one. Im in two minds over either this or the TM AK-47. Where did you find your reviews of the CA33e and how did they rate the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
M^tt Posted September 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 found a few reviews, Cant remember all the links but a google should surfice http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airs...il?reviewID=161 http://www.21stcenturyairsoft.com/ca33e.php http://www.floridaairsoft.com/reviews/ca33/ seems to be rated pretty highly .. I really like the look of it and with the lowcap mags being available soon its even better ... my worry is the power of the thing Link to post Share on other sites
M^tt Posted September 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Does anyone happen to know what type of spring the ca33e comes with ? would it be possible to use say a m85 m90 spring instead to drop the power (assuming it comes with the equiv of say a m100) Cheers Matt Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 If you buy the CA33 from a UK stockist you should be able to order it preset to the UK recommended limit of 1Joule (328fps). AD,AA,Wolf etc should all do them at 1J out the box. Link to post Share on other sites
michael_collins Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 My worry is the power of the thing <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Doesnt bother me im just a collector and ive an AUG for skirmishing. Link to post Share on other sites

nmcabecadas Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 If the gun arrive firing above 1J you can have troubles with the customs and have the gun seized. According with CA, current production guns fire 280.5-313.5 with .2g bb's, bellow the 1J limit to avoid problems entering countries with limits similar to the UK. Link to post Share on other sites
Shard Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Did have similar worries with my CA M15A4, and these turned out not to be needed as mine chronoed at 302 fps at the first skirmish i took it to. I asked a Uk retailer by email a while ago (cant remember which 1) about the fps of the CA33 as i was looking at it , and was told the CA 280 - 315 was accurate. Link to post Share on other sites

Jungle_Spectre Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Mine seems to shoot no harder than the average TM stock AEG. I'm not sure, but I think that the 8.4 battery I'm using does not provide enough power for the motor to compress the spring all the way back. This is a little annoyning because I meant to use it for sniping (I bought the scope and all...) Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure, but I think that the 8.4 battery I'm using does not provide enough power for the motor to compress the spring all the way back. The power doesn't depend of the battery. Either its able to compress the spring until the piston its relesed by the sector gear or not and the gun don't fire. You can only have a low ROF or less shots for each battery charge, never a power drop. Link to post Share on other sites
Jungle_Spectre Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Thanks Nuno! Thinking it twice, what you say makes sense. Then I must have gotten a lemon... argh! Link to post Share on other sites
nmcabecadas Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Current CA guns are much like TM AEG's when we talk about power. CA tuned down AEG's, starting from the M15 serie, to increase reliability and keep them bellow the 1 J mark. Link to post Share on other sites
