So why arent they supposed to sell glocks?

Because Glock (America) decided to be mean and say "hey! I don't like the idea of you stealing our design and selling em to people for cheap without us making money"


Or something along those lines


So pretty much they're supposedly going to release their own gun (Probably made by KWA still) but with accurate trademarks and materials (which is a good thing) but the dumb thing is its supposed to be around 300$.


Not fun.


So most places you can't get the glock series anymore (in America). I haven't tried ordering it from overseas yet, but customs might be going more hardcore than normal to not allow them, or it will be fine.

Glock America is lame than hehe. I got a good deal though gas blowback glock operates perfectly for $31 because the lady in the store didnt know the price and gave me a huge discount

I think I might get a new AEG, I'm leaning twoards the Echo 1's, but are there any (about 150 bucks) that you can reccomend?
Thanks,

Everyone loves the Echo1 g36. The m4s are fine too. I think you can pretty much get whatever, but the g36 like I said, people love. The rest is all preference really.

 

[Bigalt424]

Okay thanks for the help. I do like the G36 and its futuristic design. I also like the m4s. Do you think its worth saving up more and getting a CA Rifle?

I personally like my CA, but since you're just starting out, stick with the Echo1.


Plus, supposeedly CA has been doing worse than before so you might have to do internal work and replace some of the parts (of course you might have to do that with the echo1) but at least echo1 gives you a warranty.

Someone else is going to have to answer that. Although what research I just did I found it fits a max of a 1400 9.6 nunchuck. But thats for the echo1 Peq which is pretty large. So it kinda depends on which one you have.

 

[box o crayons]

yea i was looking at the echo one and mines 1600 i think

 

[kilo64]

9.6 nunchucks fit in a peq box no problem. Unless you're trying to fit it in the old school paq box then you've got a REAL problem haha

Echo1's are rebranded guns anyways. From what I remember; they're rebrands of TM guns.

Alot of other companies started up sportline models for the new comers so you might want to look at it.

CA has always been a hit or miss in regards to qc. But their guns will generally last you quite alot of rounds before it takes a dump.

i already got a G&G GR16 but i put a RAS system on it and now i need a place for the batter :rolleyes

Actually echo1 and JG are the same brand (different location), not rebranded of TM. And especially no way are they rebranded TMs. TM would never let them gt near their stuff. Besides, echo1 has much worse internals.
The CA sportline actually I've heard many horrible things about, which is dissapointing as I'm a huge CA fan and this is probably the first time I'd ever not reccomend CA. But the hit and miss thing is true, but as I said before, CAs in a period where they're using worse internals, assumedly to make the guns cheaper, and lemons are a lot more common now.
edit: Oh crap, I refuted kilo, ITS JUST MY OPINION BY DOING RESEARCH. haha Except for the echo1 thing.



As for battery problems besides a PEQ box, you can use a battery pouch on the stock, or even a crane stock if you don't like PEQs.

 

[kilo64]

haha Thanks for the correction Spartan;

I havent kept up with the new company releases for a long time but I read up on news every now and then.

It seems that Echo1; aside from being rebrand of JG, also rebrands other companies as well. So to sum it up; you're just paying more for a clone that has been thoroughly tested

As for battery options; unless you want to reroute your wiring from the front to the rear; then a peq box is the only viable option for you.

Unless you run your wiring to the rear then as Spartan said "Run a battery pouch or a crane stock"

If you dont like the crane stock in general then there are other modular stocks out there that look alot cooler and could be fitted with a battery with some modifications.

question. i was gonna start airsoft(i have been playing paintball and decided to switch to airsoft cause i like the guns) what should i start with i've been looking on amazon and im thinking probably a m16 or a shotgun from amazon lol um can one of you guys tell me which is better

 

[Bigalt424]

The sites I use:
Airsplat
Airsoft Gi
Shorty USA

I reccomend getting a low to mid grade aeg or a nice spring.
The one I started out with but sold was the UTG Warhawk
I also happen to have a shotgun (Utg, but sadly not the tri shot) , the only issue with it is that it's a pain in the @$$ to reload

 

[ACDCrockr209]

I was wondering how good Double Eagle are?

I have 2 of that brand.

-Pony

 

[BlindRascal]

The only thing double eagle is really good for is just playing in your backyard with some friends. lol, sorry. They're just not up to par as the others.


and Caboose whats your budget? And are you playing with friends, or at events?

and Kilo, I'm actually upset with all the clones that came in, kinda ruined it. Now all the kids can afford guns ( no offense to anyone) and they can get more unique guns that were rare for some to get.


Like my ebr and aw338 now they're not even unique.

 

[a1200]

Does anyone kinow if the rear dovetail scope mount on the Echo ! M14 will fit on a real steel M1A?
