wilonpill Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 some people just dont want to wait. If you must have a gun right now, and you have $100 or so buring a hole in your pocket, the cyma will do you. If your willing to wait, its probably a good idea to get a TM or whatever. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've cheaped out before. You will wish you hadnt when you do. Just save up. Hobbys are expensive, live with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 So you want to get a CYMA now? I'd say stick with your original plan and get a TM, you won't regret it, CYMA's IMO are only good for backup, parts, or just for the hell of it... Link to post Share on other sites
101matt1 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 See, that is the problem, my parents say I can not spend a lot on a gun. But, if I buy a cheap one, they have no problem with me upgrading it. So, that is my only choice. But really, I don't need a TM, because I play against people with LPEGs and springers. Lets just say, I dominate. Anyway, it is great for the price, and fits my needs. It does need a few new parts, but lets say this: Gun: 100~ TB:40~ Hop up: 20~? That is 180. TM's are going for 230+. Either one, if you are not a 'Techie', and are a total noob when it comes to internals, get the TM. But, if you can install a TB and hop, then get the CYMA. The motor, is a common 'quitting' problem, is easily accessable, and even a noob like I could repair. Really either the TM or CYMA. I gave you the +/-'s. Hope this helped. Also, I figured up how much I've actually spent on this gun: GUN: 110 MAGS:60 So really only 170. Link to post Share on other sites
hsimoorb Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Yes, good gun worth the cash. That was my vote. With an emphasis on worth the cash, which is not a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
101matt1 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 That was my vote.

Donut Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 CYMA = Cr@p You Must Avoid... But lately you can approach it with a ten foot pole... Link to post Share on other sites
UMGuy Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 No, I won't get one. I was just wondering. A friend of mine wanted to know. Link to post Share on other sites
NickN Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 who voted for waste of money? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Take your pick... A. The Tokyo Marui elitists who are jealous that you can now get a gun for $100 that performs nearly as well as their $250 guns. B. The Tokyo Marui elitists who are angry because they spent $250 on their gun and now you can get a gun that's nearly as good for $100. C. The Tokyo Marui elitists who think that airsoft is not about playing the game, it's about showing off your expensive gear. D. The Tokyo Marui elitists who can't get it through their thick skulls that some people can't spend $250 all at once and would rather pay $100 for the gun and then get upgrades to make it better in slow, distant intervals.

massacreman Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 it's worth the money as people say it's equal to it's mauri counterpart, although i've had no expierience with it i would buy one Link to post Share on other sites
MistorPie Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I would say its okay, needs some internal fixes to be right on par with a TM. Link to post Share on other sites
Miah Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I went with Ok gun, needs some internal fixin. Mine had 3 piston teeth going after only 12mags worth through it stock. I'd recommend it with the caveat that a person needs to be experienced enough to inspect & tweak the gearbox or know someone who can do it for them. Miah Link to post Share on other sites
Tuulos Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I got mine from Gunner Airsoft and had it upgraded there. (25$ old update, they don't have it in list anymore.) When i got it, it shot about 450 fps. Without new spring it seems. I was pretty much like Worth the money. And you can practise with the gearbox, it's cheaper to play with it than with Marui.

aznsk8s87 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 450?! whoa. I think the farthest I'd ever take a CYMA is about 330-350. that said... the CYMA AK i've encountered wasn't all that good... decent build but couldn't shoot anywhere near as powerful as my TM.

dannyboy Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 It is a bit disturbing how far Fung will upgrade some of the guns on his site Love what he did to my R8 though Link to post Share on other sites

tongfu77 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'm really interested in getting a CYMA as a loner gun. My question is: has anyone tried to upgrade a CYMA to fire above 280 FPS? I'm in California and I'm not sure if I can post the max fps at my local field. Link to post Share on other sites
Miah Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 280fps??? I think they can be pushed to do above that Believe you meant more than that, yes? Miah Link to post Share on other sites
craftiest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I think they come over 280.. 290~300 ish Link to post Share on other sites
yellowlightman Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I think the value of the 028 depends on the situation of the buyer. I bought mine to use as a loaner gun and something cheap to tinker with. As it's not my primary weapon and doesn't even see use by me in games I'm not in a huge rush to upgrade it. I will eventually but given that I'm not relying on it as my primary it's not a huge rush or truthfully even much of a necessity. In this capacity I'd recommend getting one. I don't think I'd be able to recommend it as a primary, unless you're aware that you'll need to put some money into it immediately to make it fieldable against TM guns. Truthfully, your best bet for a first gun is a used TM. They're cheaper, good quality and you usually get some extra mags and a battery. Link to post Share on other sites
target_practice Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 tm guns are cheaper?????? not in the uk, or am i looking in the wrong direction. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Think he means buy a second hand TM and not a brand new cyma 028, not had a problem with mine but would say buy a tm mag Link to post Share on other sites

Miah Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Well is your gun the 028s w/ stick battery or the 028 with full stock? How much of a better battery are you wanting? Price no concern? Miah Link to post Share on other sites
stahlfaust Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Well is your gun the 028s w/ stick battery or the 028 with full stock? How much of a better battery are you wanting?
