ardrummer292 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 KJW CO2 1911 MEU. Worked great for a game, then everything went downhill. Slide stopped locking in battery, one mag has stripped threading for the CO2 plug, another mag has broken feed lips, right side ambi safety broke, left side safety won't engage, hopup took a dump, random failures to fire... all this after I spent $75 for a Nineball threaded barrel. This is what I get for buying a non-TM GBB. TM Foliage/Desert Warrior, here I come! Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 King Arms Larue 9.0 Tactical Rifle. Got it home. Problems in order... Glad I never bought one in the end! I was eyeing it up for a while but it seemed too good to be true. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Glad I never bought one in the end! I was eyeing it up for a while but it seemed too good to be true. It's an awful shame, because it has the looks. Just far too many silly, niggly little problems. If you're happy to stick a 7.4 lipo in the wobbly stock and wait 2 seconds for the motor to fire a shot it's fine, but it's not up to the standard I'm used to I guess. I'm still sad to see it go because it's so god-damn pretty! Link to post Share on other sites
airsofttactician226 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 My first AEG, a JG M4 (no RAS) worked for a while after I got it. Then everything started to break- it was at least 2 repairs everytime I used it. Surprisingly I still have it and it is fixed for now (fingers crossed). It cost about twice the price of the gun for the repairs; and the gun was expensive for a JG, it was their first full-metal M4 Carbine model, apparently. Among numerous other fails I should mention my BDU. Woodland camo, from the same company that supplied it to the US army/ airforce back in the day. I never use it, civilian clothing is much more comfortable in the HOT WEATHER where I am. Link to post Share on other sites
Darkstrike Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 well the only good thing was the body.... nothing more than that.... just like my ex... whayyyyy! lol and yes as for epic fail airsoft things.. well i happen to have a G&P red/green dot replica aimpoint that decides randomly to stop and start working when attached to my kjw m4 and an acm green visible laser that does exactly the same.i personally think they dont like the recoil and its aggravating me somewhat Link to post Share on other sites

blind_marksman Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Madbull hop-up parts, madbull tightbore barrel (all removed now) My LSW's performance was better before I replaced the parts. The new parts gave it so much over-hop it isn't funny, no matter which way I turned the wheel I was lucky if my rounds reached 15 feet before sky-rocketing upwards. My recon rig/vest thing. It's missing parts of the mag-pouches meaning mags fall out and it's so uncomfortable I've never worn it in a full game, let alone game day. Nice to look at though. Link to post Share on other sites

Simo_Hayha Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Honestly? Escort mp5sd6. Was promised the world by sniperx, paid almost a grand and got an enormous piece of *suitcase*. Constant issues (non user related), horrible customer service, etc. The epic fail moment came when the gun was outshot by a stock tm mp5k. That moment I decided it had to go. Took a loss on it and I'd never touch anything by that guy ever again. Link to post Share on other sites
LeeBristolAirsoft Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 TM do have good range tbh with their hops so not exactly embarrassing. My newest one would be some OD triple m4 mag pouches... nothing wrong with them, just I bought them, didn't skirmish for a while, then switched to tan. So never used them, guess that's a bit of a fail. Link to post Share on other sites
Leon Kennedy Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Nothing that failed to work but I bought a railed gas block and a Redimag a few weeks ago, installed them, and my brain just flipped and said "NO" and it all came off. Link to post Share on other sites

DanHS Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Can't say I've ever had anything that was an epic fail, some things that were annoying fail though. My first two airsofts were a Sun Project M40A1 and a KSC Glock 19. The M40A1 was actually pretty good at first, it only shot at about 330fps, but it was silent and accurate. Then I got the 500fps redgas bolt for it and it was deathly accurate with Straight .43's, however I hardly ever used the thing, I didn't play that much and when I started to play more, I was using an AEG all the time. A few years ago I tried to start using it, and for some reason the hopup just refused to function well, no matter what o-ring I tried, I just couldn't get much range out of it. On top of that the gas bolt began leaking, and no matter how carefully I tried sealing it, it still leaked. I looked into getting the PDI hopup chamber and upgrade spring guide and piston for using APS2 springs, but they're not available anymore. last time I used it I had put a spacer behind the spring and was getting a good 430fps, and it was quite accurate with the .27g Biovals I was using, but the range was terrible. It sits in my closet now, about $600 into something I'll probably never skirmish with again. The Glock 19 was fairly decent, until the stupid plastic mag catch wore out, I'd go to shoot and the mag would drop down, causing the gun to vent the whole mag out the back of the slide, into my face. Took me a little while to understand what was wrong. Then the mag fell out in the woods at night, somehow I found it. I replaced it with a metal catch and solved that problem, and a couple years ago put in a Madbull tightbore. It works fairly well now, the hopup leaves some to be desired, but with .4's I can get it shooting fairly flat and accurate, gotten enough kills with it. Another fail would be a set of King Arms STANAG midcaps, none of them would feed at all, and I only tried loading 50bbs in each. After some experimenting, I found that filing down the sides of the follower helped, but they still didn't feed well. Cutting the detents down a tiny bit helps them feed ok, but I never use them, I bought the G&G 79 round locaps and those worked flawlessly. I've worked on some other guns for people that suffered from design fails or terrible failures executed by airsoft 'techs' at shops. Some of them would include; -KWA G36 that shattered it's polymer cylinder head with it's aluminum piston head. Lets hammer on plastic with metal and see what happens. Went for a stainless cylinder head with poly piston. The owner kept wanting to up the FPS, and it makes a pretty slick DMR now. -a KWA M4 CQB that had horrible range and accuracy, turned out the hopup bucking was junk, and the cylinder had a 28mm long port in it leaving only 25mm of cylinder left. The rest of the gun was fantastic though, aside from the cylinder head and piston head that got swapped out to prevent the cracked cyl head issue. -a CA Sportline 416, it's internal material and assembly quality was less than that of a Well, and it's wiring was complete junk. I did make it work fairly well though. -an A&K SR25 that got hacked by every 'tech' that touched it, and it insisted on eating pistons until I did an AOE mod on a piston and replaced the gears that somehow got un-shimmed by a 'tech' (which had resulted in broken teeth and a bent shaft on the spur gear) -DBoys M4 that was just poorly assembled with poor quality parts, everything fit poorly and wanted to fall apart, nothing would line up right, etc -multiple G-36's with fractured hopup units. The plastic tabs just snap right off and then the hopup won't seal well, worked on JG's and a KWA that needed some creative use of epoxy to get the hopup to stay together. With all the trouble people have had with WE GBBR's, I have a PDW closed bolt I bought used that so far seems great, cycles great, accuracy and hopup could be better, but not bad at all. The mags work great, and the thing is shooting 470fps on greengas, though it barely lasts the whole mag. I know someone trying to unload a WE M4 and a pile of non-working mags, will probably buy that and fix all the mags. I think once I do a bit of tuning the thing will be great, my one complaint is that half the screws on the thing come loose from the vibration, will have to blue-Loctite it all. I'm already looking at getting the open bolt PDW with a NPAS for CQB. Link to post Share on other sites
VenomHound-KAG Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 My biggest fail purchase was a JG G36K. Now, I love the rifle, love JG's; I love the upgradability and the price (their quality has really improved over the passed few years), but, the hop up was bad out of the box, sending BBs going to space even with it all the way down. So, I traded it to a friend for a stockless CYMA AK for a 'Nam load. The AK didnt have a functioning single fire mode, and pretty soon the selector switch went down, and it wouldn't fire. Tossed it in the trash. Link to post Share on other sites

mellvis Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Early generation WE M4 magazines. Too high maintenance. A&K M249. But after I replaced the hop assembly, bucking, hop nub, microswitch, and box mag, it actually turned out to be a win! Link to post Share on other sites

validtumoralarm Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 KWA 2GX M4A1. Seriously. I thought it was great when I bought it, but as soon as I wanted to change anything the whole gun practically destroyed itself. All I wanted was to put on a shorter barrel and add an MOE pistol grip and now I have stripped screws, blown wiring, melted trigger contacts, and maybe stripped gears. I wish I'd gone G&P...

ED-SKaR Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Bell 1911. Bought to use as a base for my BMG, and it did that reasonably well, but it has more problems than any 10 other guns combined. When bought it was full of aluminium dust left over from manufacture and half the screws were loose. The piston head tore after 200 rounds, the hop doesn't function at all, even with replacement rubbers, must be the arm?? It has about 15 yards of range! The nozzle spring is poor, and not strong enough, so it sometimes does not load a BB. Made worse because I've had to short stroke the slide, I need a replacement nozzle spring now . recently the slide lock bar fell apart and the little bit got itself lost, so I need to buy a new slide lock for it... All in all, I wish I had done this project with a TM from the beginning. Link to post Share on other sites
