Naked Singularity Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I'm tore between buying a CA G3A3 or CA AUG A1 for my next rifle. I already own a G3SG/1 - a custom job using the TM model as basis with various internal and external enhancements. If I buy the G3A3, I would be able to share magazines/batteries/parts with my other G3. However, I have reservations about buying a CA model fresh to the market - I've heard that first-batch CA guns are always plagued by internal problems. Is my fear unfounded? Also, the trademarks on the G3A3... are they engraved or are they simply painted on? If the former is true, are there any kind of paint that could eliminate them without leaving an obvious trace?

Jagdraben Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 CA already has had a number of G3-based AEGs already on the market. I can't imagine why there would be any problems left unresolved from the earlier M41 releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Naked Singularity Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Ah. Damn. I forgot. Sorry. The TM G3SG/1 is credited with having an extremely robust and effective HOP-up system. Does the CA G3 line reflect this? If the CA G3A4 is reliable, consistant, and accurate, I would buy one. My existing G3SG/1 could take care of the long-range work, while the G3A4 would be used for CQB without sacrificing anything other than battery capacity. One more thing - I've heard that CA's foregrip wiring isn't as tidy as TM's. Is this true? If so, does it affect reliability? The last thing I want is to rush into a room of angry hostiles, raise my rifle, and have it not fire. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
simson719 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I know this topic is a couple of days old, but could i get some facts about the gun. I'm really interested in it and i also been looking at the ca33e, but i don't know what to choose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ardrummer292 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hopup update, por favor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lineman66 Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 didn't have a chance to use it at the Fort Ord game yesterday, will try to test the range and the effectiveness of the hop soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ardrummer292 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I used a custom 1.5J TM G3K-A4 this weekend, and the hopup was phenomenal! The stock TM G3 hop unit is really impressive, and seems to be nearly up to par with the TM M14 hop unit. I can only hope the CA can measure up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
simson719 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Im excited to se the result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lineman66 Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 should be attending a skirmish this weekend, will post my in game experience either sunday or monday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loic Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 It's now Thursday... I can't wait to see if this gun is good. I've always loved the G3 <3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lineman66 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 really I'm expecting the performance to be like any stock CA gun, I mean not the CA guns that have horrible compression out of the box (least I hope not), so it should shoot like any AEG, ideal engagement range at around 100 feet, top out at 120-130 feet. but like I said, I'll post my in game findings Monday.

simson719 Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 I want to se if the gun have any real failures, like the ca33e with its horibble hopup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
otherrandomhero Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hopup has been fixed, as has the CA33's (the new version comes with the better, yellow hop). The hop in CA's new G3 series is absolutely brilliant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ardrummer292 Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 CA249 or G3-come-HK21... damn! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Wow, this thing makes me think about slapping a scope and doing some illegal things to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lineman66 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 go on, do tell ;-) will be using it tomorrow extensively, as my primary weapon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lineman66 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 used it yesterday at a game, I wasn't really surprised by anything the gun did. -Range is decent with the hop set in, as with all AEGs, ideal range is about 100 feet and tops out at about 130 feet. -Shot about 320 fps with .2s, rate of fire was impressive with a 9.6v battery (again gun is still stock so not surprised) -The lightweight of the gun came in handy, as we had to walk a bit to get to the gaming area, and was very manuverable in game, despite it being such a large rifle. -I was the only one at the game with a G3A3 Overall, not a bad rifle, I think a TM hop bucking would improve the range some, other than that, it's quite a looker.

jamesdack Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 All in all is it a good aeg or not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liquidflorian Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 All in all is it a good aeg or not? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The CA I converted was great, it has a nice fit and finish to it. I haven't fired it, but I imagine it shoots as well as any other CA out of the box. I never cared to the stock furniture but it was solid and correct for the model I suppose. I like the fact it has pins instead of screws to take it down with, and the fire select isn't craptastic like the Marui. Overall; I give it a 8/10... I haven't played with it, so I can't really rate it accurately but, I like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sh0ty Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) I got mine back in early June (bout 7 days after the OP) and it's great. I think I might have burned out trigger contacts though, so that kind of stinks. Other than that, the gun has zero creak, feels like it's bullet proof, and has the best take down I have ever used with an AEG. I think I'm going to need a 9.6V battery to use it as a DMR. (shorter trigger lag) The gun is about 8 and a half pounds, and shoots great. With my nice bb's, I'm getting single shot kills at 40 meters at least. The gun also blends in with my playing field, so that's a huge bonus. -Sh0ty Edited September 28, 2007 by Sh0ty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maveric Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Sorry for the necro-post but i assume this is fully compatible with all the G3 magazines on the market ( tm )? Cheers - Maveric Edited May 16, 2008 by Maveric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Field_Gunner Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 king arms standard mags are a little tight and dont feed well on auto but all the other mags I've used are good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoE.Solidius Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 My friend has one of these. The stock broke week 3 of purchase, he set it against a wall and it landed on plastic fake tile in his house and broke. I was like Cheap POS. Other than that this AEG has amazing accuracy and range with .28s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
