Johnny Sasaki Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Heyyyy, nice to see someone else making the AUG family. I wonder if it'll sell well, though - it's not filling the vacuum left by Marui, and the Marui AUG is such a wonderful piece of machinery... I mean, don't get me wrong, I think CA is a fine manufacturer, but there's a really strong sense of reassurement that I get when I'm using Marui gear. CA has a good upgrade platform, though... it'll be interesting to see which one turns out to be more popular. But weren't all the Steyr fanboys screaming something about an Aug V3 or something? That said, Marui should put the Aug A1 back into production... Link to post Share on other sites
UnknownWarrior Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 soo since its been released any word US retailers selling them? Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Sasaki Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 ^ Post #69, lol... I'm not sure it's for retail yet. Even though the site says it started production on the 7th, it might be a bit before it actually gets into stores and stuff. I think I like the A1 a bit better... Link to post Share on other sites
AgentX Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hmm, personally I like the A1 better, but nothing really beats adding your own scope. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I wonder if the hop assembly will be made of metal this time around. Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny Sasaki Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Anyone use the A1? I take it the hop was lacking, then... I've got an M14 coming in soon, and if the V-hop is as good as they say, I'm going to put in all my guns... Link to post Share on other sites

I'll stick with TM though, started on TM, probably will stick with TM. (for AEG's that is) Link to post Share on other sites
tfwey Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yup good year for Bob.... next gun was gonna be an aug after all for me. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 The CA AUGs ###### all over the TM AUGs. Really, just no goddamn comparison at all. They have more metal, the plastic mix is MUCH stronger, the forward handle's joint is metal instead of plastic, the gearbox is re-inforced and comes with 7mm bushings and the plastic hop-up is not really that much of a problem. And by the way - wtf is with people bashing the CA AUG for having a plastic hop-up and then saying that the TM is better - THE TM HAS A PLASTIC HOP-UP TOO YOU SPACKTARDS. Sorry - had to get that off my chest. Link to post Share on other sites
Shinden Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Now if only CA would start to make more AUG related accesories like the bi-pod, vertical folding grip mount, and longer barrels on the A3 then I'd buy it! Two AUG for CA is good, but they need plenty of accesories for it like thier M15 and CA36 series. Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry - had to get that off my chest. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Calm down IMHO plastic hopup units are far better than metal as plastic is a little bit flexible and the job of the hopup unit together with the nozzle is so seal up right behind the BB. Externally the CA kicks *albatross*! But intenally there are some problems CA will have to fix soon as this guides through all their products like a red line: The motor is piece of *beep*.... using to much energy for to less power. And the hopup rubber is bad compared to the TM stock one. That descrives the changings I did to my CA SLR: Add a TM HopUp bucking together with the TM AK barrel and replaced the CA motor by the TM one. Now it is an outstanding performer Link to post Share on other sites
Ubar Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yeah, the motor in my CA g36 is a crock of *beep* Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry - had to get that off my chest. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have to agree, my friend has the CA aug and it's very solid, it's made of some sort of reinforced nylon rather than just abs. I don't know why they didn't just put a m16 all metal hop unit in it, but it seems to work quite well so it probably isn't even needed. It comes out of the box doing 340 (so should settle just on UK limits). I would stick with the CA motor, as I’m guessing it’s the same as the M15 series, which have a very nice rate of fire, and can take high voltages easily. I wouldn’t’ put a tm barrel in it, what’s the point? I would put a black python by mad bull in with some guarder hop-up rubber, but I don’t even know if that’s needed.

Morbidus Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 sheesh, TM aug is a great wall weapon, but carrying it in battle is like driving a Trabant... the plastic WILL brake, the question is when and how but there are some other news on classic army page that sparked my imagination (CQB compact, SPR...) Go classic army, go! Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 The CA ABS mix is a re-inforced mix - like TM but with a few different ingredients and fibreglass mixed in - it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay tougher than the TM ABS could ever be. Agreed, CA has a few minor issues - the motors are not too bad but it seems to be hit and miss - and yes their rubbers are not as good. But for the price, it still beats the TM.

renegadecow Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 the forward handle's joint is metal instead of plastic, <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The ones on TM AUGs are made of metal, not plastic. But very questionable metal as they break easily (its made of aluminum die-cast, which is weak compared to milled aluminum). The ones made of plastic are from those chinese clones, BE I think.

AgentX Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I never bashed CA, I'm just saying I don't know if I'd want to take a chance on it when I've seen a few die within weeks. Link to post Share on other sites

Where does the CA have more metal than the TM? They're the same damn gun. I've had a TM for five years and have gone completely through several CA's now that my local store carries them. It does irk me how they cast the rear section of the outer barrel in green...would it really have been that much more work to cast them in black, or at least just paint them? I'm splitting hairs though. From handling, I wasn't that impressed with the much-overblown CA super-realistic body. It certainly wouldn't be a selling point to me, as I've yet to find any weak points in the TM body over five years of abuse. The things don't break if you don't use them like a war club. Still, for an AI I would go with the CA, because they are readily available. It remains to be seen how the fit and finish are on the A2. As stated, the foregrip pin is metal. I've yet to ever break one in five years though. The Guarder steel pins are still a recommended upgrade for the CA or TM guns because it greatly reduces wobble. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm staring at the same part right now, the thin tube that connects the folding foregrip and the barrel. Its broken into 2 pieces and its clearly made of die-cast aluminum as I can see the sand-like texture. I broke mine because I dove into a pile of rocks looking for cover.
