FPBBrandon Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Hey guys, As promised, I recently finished writing my review of the G55. It can be seen at my personal site here, while I figure out how to reformat it to the Arnies review Database. Enjoy! Edited February 16, 2009 by FPBBrandon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TANGO91 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Good little review, it would be nice to get some accuracy tests at say 30 and 60 feet or something like that, but yeah im really interested on how it will hold up to propane, keep us up to date.

AirsoftHawaii90 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Excelent. Video please! EDIT, Wow, just ckeced RSOV.. 1.7 KG is an Amazing wieght for RSOV considering most of there AEGs are around 5KG (All wrong..). Must resist..

pedro041484 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 WOW! very interesting.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 i was hoping for some inside looks. i really want to buy one, but it may be frivolus if the maruzen still has the greater metal content. contrary to popular beliefe, some people do get maruzens that run for years on green gas. im hoping to be able to eventually replace the innards with aluminum or steel. best of luck to whoever buys one, i expect a high lemon rate.

aznriptide859 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 This. Thread. Needs. A. Video. Have you gotten extra mags yet or do you have to wait for RSOV to list more? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 massive defense shop has a vid up on the well g55's product page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FPBBrandon Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) I've embedded a video on my review page, have a look! Pictures of the internals are up, as well as targets shot at 25 and 50 ft! Also, RSOV doesn't carry spares for it quite yet, but they say they have them in store soon! In all I think this is a great little backup/CQB weapon, and when you see the video of its ROF you'll know why! Edited February 17, 2009 by FPBBrandon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clockwork_O Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks Brandon for that review! Interesting gbb, the poor finish is a bit pity, but hey for 60$ it's a bargain! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) i think its a cool little project gun. things i would do to it: replace the mag catch with a marui mag catch bug EdGi or Daytonagun to fabricate me an aluminum bolt cover, stiffer recoil spring and stiffer nozzle return spring find me a guarder nozzle find a TK kick booster or find a better sealing oring or xring use stiffer nozzle return spring if need be after the better sealing oring is found get more mags rape some noobs and continue to bother random shops to make metal bodies. wouldnt it be weird that one of the upgrades it more expensive than the gun itself!?!

Frakk2k Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Shame the "highcap" mags from Maruzen are 40$, hope Well will make some of them soon, then this little shooter might be a interesting GBB project for the summer (Im thinking a M4 stock mod to it, nomnomnom). If well aint making a metal body for it, then perhaps ask the guys over at Hexagonproduction? Edited February 17, 2009 by Frakk2k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 i dint know them. do they have a website? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When we talked about the metal body, I forgot the MP5 is a tube. For some reason I was thinking of an Armalite. Althought it still wouldn't be "cheap", it would definitely be less. I really need to see the original one first. Edited February 17, 2009 by bnoji Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FPBBrandon Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'd gladly supply the original to a shop that would make a metal kit for this, if they were a legitimate outfit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 so far i'v asked EdGi, Hexigon and Vanaras. i will tell what they say. next ill just go for daytonagun. they wont mass produce anything, but they will help on an individual basis for CASH$$$.

TANGO91 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Great, keep us informed. Who says they wont mass produce? Daytona Gun or one of the others? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 yeah, i was talking about Daytonagun. ill see if they can, but i dont know. i got a reply from EdGi and he told me he couldnt do a body and hes unsure of replicating complicated internal parts(and that he cant make 8mm barrels without retooling ) i told him in a reply that after some more research, we only need a metal bolt cover and stiffer recoil springs. im not sure how he is with springs, but maybe he can make the bolt cover. i await his reply. i havnt heard from Vanaras or hexigon yet. im going to contact Daytonagun and GHK Taiwan. then ill put out a request on Classicairsoft for any of the random machinists that are there.

FPBBrandon Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Slight update: Today after cleaning the barrel with silicon, and applying a bit to the bolt carrier, I achieved a much much better 50ft grouping with around 10 BBs on the paper, and I know it would've been closer to 15 if I wasn't shivering from the cold. I will do a retest tomorrow in better weather and report with pic and video! Edited February 18, 2009 by FPBBrandon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 so the gun can fire off a whole mag in the cold? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FPBBrandon Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yeah, easily. All the FPS and play testing this weekend were at either freezing or just above. You can probably get 2.5 bb fills per gas fill on this guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TANGO91 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 wow gas efficiency is way better than i expected, but im sure EDGI could make springs, he makes springs for VSR's, M324's, etc so it shoulnt be too hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I didn't really have any expectations but I'm glad that this turned out great. I'm hoping they clone the Skorpion, just so I can get some cheap mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nice review! Man, I so hope Well specializes in GBBs and starts making more, starting with the MP7, Skorpion, M93R, maybe a GBB P90 with internal gas tank? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
