Abelius Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 CA owners, be careful with these heaps of falsely strong feeling things. Just a demonstration of how easy it is to break your CA36. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxqUuspIbBU Link to post Share on other sites

Abelius Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 In fact I've had two CA G36 guns that were as easy to break as this one. Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 For some obscure reason I don't believe that the bodies were made to withstand being torn from the inside and out, but that's just mea and my odd ideas. And second, the charging handle is purely ABS plastic, so you can't exactly blame that on "shoddy polymer-reinforced plastic". My CA36 has taken too much abuse, and the only part of it I find dodgy at all is the stock. Though I have broken both a CA36K and a TM G36C stock in the exactly same manner. Ease down on the doomsaying a little bit. It is a known fact CA has had some bad batches of G36s. Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Both my ca g36s are pretty solid, I fell over like a ###### in a quarry with a hard floor and the only thing that broke was my ag36 trigger guard. TM G36 bodies are ######s. Link to post Share on other sites
Ceriph Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have both TM and CA g36's and if i were to put my $$ on the strength of one over the other it would definitely be the CA. The only way i could see anyone being able to do that to the lower is because of a bad batch as mentioned above. Link to post Share on other sites
Panzergraf Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well the only thing that's still stock CA-plastic on my G36 is the pistol grip, and that's held up fine for 3+ years now. The receiver has been replace by army code, but found a new home on my friends TM, which is also doing fine (ugly TM pistolgrip aside). The CA body actually felt better than the army code, but I like trades, so that was that. My CA foregrip has been replaced by a real H&K foregrip, but as it arrived I cursed myself for wasting $100, as it looks and feels just like the CA. Now, I'm by far a CA fanboy, they're one of my least favorite airsoft manufacturers, but dangit, the G36 plastic is the one thing they got right. Link to post Share on other sites
Abelius Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) Sorry but I have to disagree with everyone on this. By far I have broken the mentioned CA G36 parts (on two totally different batch guns) and also one M15 pistol grip, an M15 foregrip, an MP5 torch foregrip, an MP5 full stock and various other smaller parts. They all have been like the stuff in the video. I've also seen several CA36 bodies snap especially at the joints, whereas I've yet to see an ugly but durable Marui body fail (seen broken stocks though). I'm not buying another CA36-series gun ever anymore. No offense to anyone because I know you love your purr-awww guns and you have the right to if they serve you well, but this doomsayer has spoken. By the way, I popped the internals and found awful shimming, cheap new CA gears, overlubing, a cheap plastic cylinder head and zero compression. The mechbox wasn't even compatible with a Marui pistol grip, so now I have stock Marui internals in my CA. Sorry for the offtopic, but I felt that my experience was worth mentioning for people that are about to buy a CA. Mods may remove if they find my post unnecessary.

ianhaz Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yeah the insides of my CA36 were dire...it hasnt worked for quite a while now, and when i get it working, something else breaks! Link to post Share on other sites

Panzergraf Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) By the way, I popped the internals and found awful shimming, cheap new CA gears, overlubing, a cheap plastic cylinder head and zero compression. Now this I agree on! But really, M15 grips cracking? In my experience those are also some of the most solid pistol grips out there, at least better than TM and VFC grips. Now, I notice you're from Winland, where it can get really cold, maybe this has something to do with it? Maybe very low temperatures mess with the molecular structure of the plastic or something Edit: Let's take this thread back on track! Army Code receiver and barrel, H&K G36 foregrip, cut-down star rail, G&P stock, EOTech 512 and Galaxy MP7 BUIS. Pistol grip and magwell is still CA, as is the trigger and some of the selector-bits.

Plankton Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Beautiful gun there panzergaf. What are the blue things on the stock and hop up area? Link to post Share on other sites
Panzergraf Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 The blue thing on the stock is the battery, the stock has a hole there so it can lock onto the shell deflector on the side of the receiver. The blue thing behind the fake bolt carrier is the Pro-Win hopup chamber, and I admit I locked the bolt (wedging the charging handle down into the groove it rides in) open just to show this Link to post Share on other sites

Panzergraf Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Beautiful KA1, Cougar That's a cut down STAR-rail too, right? Does yours also flex at the middle? Mine does, so I had to put the EOTech further back for it to sit properly. Link to post Share on other sites
cougar Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Thnx man! Nope its not a STAR, and I had to cut and modify quite a bit! The custom C-rail will have to work until the rest of my gear is complete and I can buy a RS KV-rail. Link to post Share on other sites
Panzergraf Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 The custom C-rail will have to work until the rest of my gear is complete and I can buy a RS KV-rail. Same here, man. Look in the Project Suggestion forum, a member here is looking to create a CNC copy of the A1 rail, will be cheaper than the real thing and build to airsoft-specs. Link to post Share on other sites
