Crimson Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Just completed my second review on video, any advice and information will be appreciated, its in high def (as requested before, with super low music) You tube link here: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Haha! Pretty good review, funny how stuff is tossed about, but I guess the gun deserves no better. Man, what a piece of junk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tosuzu Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Wow such an unreliable gun. Might as well throw it at the person your firing at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 at least it was an airsoft round and not a bullet-round. Talk about more than a 'sting' >_< I wonder if it is the magazine release catch - it could be too high, holding the magazine up too high? Any markings on the rear of the magazine indicating where the hammer is trying to strike? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Watch till the end the right end you will see how un reliable it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 crimson.. that is what I mean't .. that 'sting' instead of a 'bang'... firearms safety Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 No its not the catch i have no idea what it is, its packed and is going to be sent to a friend who is a gbb guru i would never have anything china made as real steel this has been my first ACM china purchase and it will be my last, i will stick to my £350 custom pistols Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Great review, even though the verdict was that its garbage. I reckon the transfer bar on the trigger is binding against the magazine so it disconnects when you put the mag in but works without it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 this has been my first ACM china purchase and it will be my last, i will stick to my £350 custom pistols When it comes to GBBs, I'm with you there. AEGs are another matter. They're simple of construction and easy for the china manufacturers to copy, and copy well. Making a good GBB takes some serious engineering skill, or perhaps extreme luck (the HFC M190 comes to mind). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Making a good GBB takes some serious engineering skill, or perhaps extreme luck (the HFC M190 comes to mind). Exactly my point, even then i have always been a geardo and never had cheep china makes, example i have been one of the first to have a real steel eotech i been using them for 4 years now, reciently i got a china one- not even close. There is a reason why TM have been in the game and do the things they do its because of some serious engineering i love my custom AEGs systema, prowin all the way for me, if i want a rife for the day or an event ile buy a china one use it and then sell it i will never keep it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Punkypink Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Lol I love how on the 3rd time you were trying to get it to work you had this "i give up" look about ACM stuff tho, u gotta remember this was a clone of a clone of a clone of a clone. XD most my ACM AEGs work fine. It's always the more complicated GBBs im wary of, and would stick to KSC in general. Edited October 31, 2008 by Punkypink Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 How would you fix this ? I'd smear some red paint where the transfer bar would make contact with the mag, insert the mag, pull the trigger a few times and see if the paints been rubbed or chipped off. You could start fiddling with the bars' orientation as its simply bent into shape, seeing what angle will free it from binding. You could also sand/grind down on the surface that's making contact but I'd put that as last resort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frakk2k Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hmm, my Bell 1911 (Actually both, metal and plastic) are great :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Hmm, my Bell 1911 (Actually both, metal and plastic) are great :/ Good! But I'm sure a TM 1911 is better. I'm looking forward to the day when the ACM manufacturers will be making superior GBBs, as is often the case with ACM AEGs these days. It's always the more complicated GBBs im wary of, and would stick to KSC in general. Which are more complicated and fragile than most, coupled with lack of aftermarket parts. The future of ACM GBBs lies in good FMV clones of TMs, with similar or better performance than the originals. Now, this gun, a crude clone of an ancient KSC model, how could it not go wrong?

Schattenmeister Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Oh my... Weird how my JG HK417 is very reliable and that Glock is just... If I say it nicely, substandard. Well, hopefully I was just more than lucky with my JG - for the company's sake! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Old ones were crud, new ones are fine. Bought a couple a month and a half ago, they're still holding out and they've changed the recoil spring to stiffer ones. Excessive hop though but that was easily sorted by deepening the indentation on the hop rubber for the bearing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 So is the current verdict of the JG Glock 18 is that they're fine? Any recommended improvements right out of the box? With the new Magpul PTS FPG coming out ... if the JG is okay ... it'd make a fine alternative to the KSC/KWA G18. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Double post. Edited December 28, 2009 by uscmCorps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 One rather common problem I've been seeing is a slightly off auto sear, meaning the angle is not steep enough that it slips when the slide slams forward. Fixed by just filing it a bit to correct the angle. That and the excessive hop, which is easily sorted by a dremel. The finish isn't pretty either but if you're to cover it up with the FPG, it won't matter much. It's no KSC, but if you know what to do, you'd end up with something that performs just as well at half price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FalconGroup6 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Yea i for one agree with sticking with known brands and custom GBB's. For Glocks ill stay with my KSC/KWA's since they never let me down. I really cant wait to see how well the FPG works with my KWA G18C. I dont buy clones and this is a good reason why lol.
