SACSlym Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) Easy nitro. Calm the hell down. I will repeat my belief (backed by experience) that the CYMA AKs will not stand up to being abused, externally. Internally, maybe. That said. Take a chill pill, because you've got some nasty reverse fanboyism going on. No just was flame bating fan boys who give me no love for no reason <3 Notably people arguing with are me talking about externals, I was reffering to performance if you read over my post, as thats what matters to me first, externals are icing on the cake. AK's are great because they are sturdy work horses in airsoft, VFC's are very pretty, but I was very dissapointed with their performance and construction choices. Did I fall in love with my AKSU? You bet, but if CYMA stopped making reliable guns I'd drop them very fast, just like I've dropped CA recently. Also just in case anyone was thinking so, I haven't mentioned RMW or Inokatsu in any comparison. Although RMW guns (if you choose the option) use CYMA gearboxes Edited May 27, 2008 by SACSlym Link to post Share on other sites
BP-anon Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Woops, didn't mean to start an argument. I think I'll wait out for Dboys to release their longer models (not the AKSU) in full steel--that would be exactly what i'm looking for.

my_plague_666 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Some reports state that VFC / Ino internals arent especially good, not even Cyma level. VFC internals are fine. theres little spectacular in there (well, they use polycarbonate IIRC, which is always good), they do indeed have plastic bushings but VFCs run on their stock internals reliably with 12V batteries and will give you no grief in general. picture TM's average but reliable internals, only with some better parts and coupled with unrivaled externals.

Bloodsword Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 My project this far: All realsteel or Inokatsu parts arent yet installed, some missing. Now the hard part is to fit the wood parts. Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 spray the metalwork black, and then drybrush silver over it.... comes out very vereh nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Fiach Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 VFC internals are fine. theres little spectacular in there (well, they use polycarbonate IIRC, which is always good), they do indeed have plastic bushings but VFCs run on their stock internals reliably with 12V batteries and will give you no grief in general. picture TM's average but reliable internals, only with some better parts and coupled with unrivaled externals. My VFC AKS74 is very accurate with no mods to the gearbox. Much more accurate then any CYMA I own and others that I've used. I do have some problems with VFC's gearboxes though. First off the plastic bushings are rotten, one of them cracked in my mechbox during it's first ever game. At that point it'd only had about 200 BB's through it in it's life. They've been replaced with metal bushings. The VFC motor broke 2 months after I bought the gun, that's been replaced with a TM motor. My third problem with the VFC gearbox is it's horrible whine when it fires, total sowing machine gearbox ruins the excellent look of the AK. TM, CYMA, Dboys, etc. gearboxes thump when they fire and sound a whole lot better. That being said no make of AEG are perfect out of the box. I'd still take VFC over CYMA as they are now.

uscmCorps Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 ak mags ruin galil and make pozzie sad I'm super tempted to buy the Galil mags from RMW, but the fact that they have the wrong curvature is a bit of a turn off.
