firepower AK47
 

Hey all. I am new into the sport and I am looking for somthing to start off with, AA surplus has the cheap firepower ak47 and FP8.Does anyone have any goods/bads about the guns? Are they compatible with tokyo marui parts, Do they have a metal gear box?thanks tvw

i have a fp8 , its not compatible with any TM parts, gearbox is plastic but mags are cheap $50 for 2, high Rof, bad scope

My review, oddly enough, in the review section.

In a nut shell, it's a POS. I could throw bb's farther than it could shoot them, literally.

k well that brings my options to one. mark at aasuplus has one of those china air aug does anyone want to tell me about that?goods? bads?

Just buy something half decent. Look at AEG's from one of the major manufactuers such as Tokyo Marui, Classic Army, G&P, G&G, ICS etc ...

Figure out what rifle you like the look of then do a simple search and read a couple reviews. Noone is here to spoonfeed you information all day. Another great thing about searching is that you come across important information that you never thought about previously, but were glad to find.

ive always been a fan of the sig 552 but no one has them:(

My KA clones of the original TM mags were 18 a piece. Star Locaps are about 10 per mag.

Just save your money and buy something decent. TM, ICS, CA, etc... Read the FAQ, it will answer pretty much everything. If you buy a "economy" or cheap gun like that, the rate you'll be going through guns will be equivelant to a fire going through gasoline. Which is also an analogy of how you'll be spending your money.. you might as well burn it.

Save up and get a reputable brand.

Do not buy crap, period.

alright.. I am looking at TM sig 552,P90 TR or a famas. I read good on all of them.I hope to find somthing used so i dont need to buy alot of upgrades. although the famas is 400$

So are P90s, and demi-upgraded (read broken) AEGs. New not necesserily means better, too.

Thanks for taking one for the team and sharing your review. That thread should be made into a sticky for anyone thinking about buying a crappy gun to save a few bucks.

does anyone know of somone with a 552 or a p90 for sale.?

someone on the kelowna forums as a sig 552 for $400

firepower sucks, plastic gearboxes suck. get a CYMA or a WELL

yea as curtis was saying, there are 2 sigs under 400 at www.airsoftkelowna.com/forum go cehck them out, from what iv heard theyre fairly good for a beginer gun

i think this was the biggest realization for me when i was considering a cheap brand:

"A used Marui will always be better than a new no-name airsoft gun"

...so if you have cash..fork it over
...if you don't...buy used.

That's pretty naive of you to make such a statement, but just wait ... by late November I'll have a new load-out of purely china-branded guns, from what I've seen, they are on par with Marui minus a few minor details.

Not on here unless you're age-verified. And to the best of my knowledge, anywhere else for that matter.

don;t get firepower i got their fp8 because i was short on cash and a mid step it broke once... got a new one worked 1 week broke again. Yes it was a new one. So 2 of them broke for me in a period of 2 weeks. The magazines fall out of gun too. Save yourself the money and hassle get a end of season deal at some local shop. I got a g3 sg1 by TM for 700 bucks in total all i need in saved myself 150 or so. My summary Firepower sucks

thanks all im really looking into the 552 or the famas:)

azn trixta what guns do you think will come in"what modle"?

i dunno about china brands... ive only seen dissapointments with those, however i cannot generalize theyre all bad as i haveonly seen a few.. but i knew somone with the china brand aug and it appeared to be more of spitting the bbs out rather than shooting with about the same acuracy of an ebb

The CYma new generation of AEGs, namely CM .027 and higher, ie. the CM.027 - MP5J, CM .028 - AK47, CM .031 - AK74 have been tested by my friend and he says its an almost complete clone of the TM version, for the fraction of the price. Abundance of metal parts, metal gearbox, decent FPS just abit below TMs FPS, (but the AK74 has gone on par with it) I think only the piston is weaker than TMs.

I usually frown at China stuff but these new Cyma AEGs are really cheap and good! However still cannot bring myself to own Cyma AEGs among my TM GBBs and AEGs. But for newcomers and ppl on bduget, cyma is a good alternative already.

are you insane? for one CYMA sucks and i have the FP8 ive been using it for a while the scope sucks but i got the PALCO, wich is a good retailer i tested it and i was running about 325 fps STEADY with .2's when on semi its deadly accurate and with the right hop-up so is the range, idk about the AK but the FP8 is a great buy, ive held my own against people with classic armies and Toko's.

this shit isn't even airsoft. Its on the same level as softair, eating crayons, and puberty.

Are you? The new CYMA Aegs are the shit, beats PALCO and FP crap hands down. The CM.028, while it has its downsides, fires at a higher FPS stock than a TM, and has better looking "wood" too. Almost completely compatable with TM parts, except the hopup, and thus barrel. Those can be replaced by a nice Element brand hopup though.

Cheers,
