Butter18c Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Now I am stuck between G36 and the civvy AUG, and the deciding factor may be which is easier to get to the gearbox with. Kind of interested with tinkering with it. I know this probably isnt a good reason, but I really can'y decide. And flame away that I actually asked this topic. Also, which one is tougher, becuase I heard that the AUG is one of the toughest, but the G36 has a good strong backbone Link to post Share on other sites
Slo Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I say AUG. They're aren't a dime a dozen these days like everything else, and the gearbox is rock solid. Getting it out is easy and tricky at the same time. It's a pain to pull it out, but slides right back in without a hassle. Go fig? Has to do with the ejection port sliding piece - it always gets stuck and makes it a real pain to get the box out. The AUG has a extremely long barrel in relation to it's size, compared to the G36s P90 length barrel. Both guns are basically full metal - since both are 90% polymer in the real world. Both guns have transparent magazines, and not a terribly large space for bigger batteries. Both also have provisions to add whatever optics you may want. The AUG itself is a love it/hate it affair. Some people don't like the space gun looks and prefer a more traditional rifle setup. Some also say the foregrip on the AUG is easy to snap off - never, in owning 4 or 5 AUGs, and playing hard as hell with them, have i had the grip snap off. I would take the AUG myself. -Slo Link to post Share on other sites
Butter18c Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I love the AUG, but for some reason im still attracted to the G36. Held a CA one yesterday and Liked it, and also held my friends springer AUG, so I know basically what both feel like. I still dont know Link to post Share on other sites
gazchap Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I've got a G36C myself and I've test fired an AUG. I love the look of the AUG and it's fire selector mechanism, but from the look of the gun I'm not sure whether there is much scope for "practical upgrades" like a larger battery holder etc. I could be wrong though. With the G36C you can get a few conversion kits to change it into a wide variety of guns if you so desire. Link to post Share on other sites
knownolimits Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I would recommend the G36c as it has loads of conversion kits as already mentioned and can take many roles. Link to post Share on other sites
Butter18c Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Chances are I'm going to get a G36 now, because I found a good deal on one, Plus serves my purpose well Link to post Share on other sites

evilhippy Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Have the G36 and the AUG is my next aeg, but on balance the G36 is a far better option. Internal mods and cosmetic upgrades are far easier to get hold of, and it has the potential to be at least 3 different guns without spending more than the base rifle cost to achieve them.

G36 for uprages, AUG for a bog-standard gun. Link to post Share on other sites

With the G36C you can get a few conversion kits to change it into a wide variety of guns if you so desire. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I currently run both. Practical AUG upgrades - where do you want to start ? Phantom/Cyber Kits, Carbine & SMG Kits, H-Bar Kits. The gearbox is a doddle to extract and work on. The short configuration of my Cyber AUG lets me use a TN M16 barrel in something the same length if not shorter than my G36C. Full length - i run a PSG1 TN Barrel (509mm length) and it's a beastie. Good for long range assaulting etc. Battery mods are simple - remove the rubber butt-plate, undo the screws that hold the plastic gearbox cover, remove that and tuck the fuse holder behind it making sure you leave the small battery connector accessible and the re-assemble. You now have space to fit a 9.6v 1500 MaH battery (check on WGC or Den for the AUG specific batteries ) ROF is fast with a 9.6v battery, accuracy is exceptional. The HOP (once set) is perfect. I like them so much i have 2 !!!! Link to post Share on other sites

tome Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Have to say that the battery mod for the AUG is much easier than for the TM G36, but if you get a CA one then it comes with a large foregrip anyway. As far as i know, they both use the version 3 gearbox. My AUG was a doddle to upgrade. Just have to tap the butt on a table a little bit to get the gearbox out, after removing the 2 screws that hold the gearbox retention plate on. Also there is now way that an AUG is any less tough or strong than a g36, unless you're talking about the infamous front grip bit. I just took mine off, never liked that bit anyway just put your support hand on the trigger guard. My AUG is 9 old and only had to change original gears once after 7 years, always ran a 9.6V as well if that gives you an idea of durability. hope that helps Link to post Share on other sites

Always fancied it for mine but I've never seen what it looks like before. Link to post Share on other sites
sniper101 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 sorry i havnt got any pics of it cos i sold the m203 a while back but there is a pretty good pic of what it used to look like on zero one. Link to post Share on other sites
