WE Smg8
 

Hey guys a guy is offering me a used We tech smg8 with 5 mags a mag pouch that holds 4 mags and a suppressor for 120 dollars I was wondering if this is worth it and should I take the offer.

Yes.

How worth it is this deal? Lol I hear we tech is not that good but this seems like a good deal.

1) www.Google.ca
2) WE SMG-8 price
3) ???

4) Profit!

It sound like it's worth it. He is paying for shipping and the mags are 27 dollars a piece and it comes with a suppressor http://www.evike.com/products/54089/ suppressorhttpi realized this is an amazing deal Lol.

if you don't buy it, I will. Seriously. I've got one already, and I enjoy it. Before you buy it though, I would check for the brass pin detailed here: https://www.facebook.com/weairsoft/p...e=3&permPage=1

Brass pin = good. No brass pin: less good+ I would check for cracks in the metal stock plate or around the body pin holes in the plastic. If there isn't a brass pin, it's still a decent deal, but i would think about installing a recoil buffer on the spring guide.

Also, is the seller in the States?

I live In the U.S. and I think he does to and is the brass pin the the newer version? What exactly does the brass pin mean?

Ah, no worries about where the gun is being shipped from then. Unfortunately I won't be able to snipe it from you though...

On the new ones (Gen2+), the brass pin is the backside of a brass bolt that holds the bolt release to the internal frame. I'm not sure what color it is on Gen1, or if they even have a bolt/pin there.

The brass pin just marks what generation the gun is.

Gen1 had a bunch of problems, and had a standard WE m4 loading nozzle, which was compatible with the Ratech M4 NPAS.
Gen 2 and newer comes with a steel butt-stock latch, a different nozzle (requires modification to use an NPAS, low flow discs are apparently a good alternative), and a few different reinforced areas.
The magazines are also slightly different, with the rubber gasket near the feed lips sitting just slightly higher, allowing for a better gas seal+ efficiency. I've heard of people just shimming the gasket up a little on the Gen1 mags, although I haven't had to try it.


I got your email. It's a bit tough to tell, but it looks like the brass pin is there, so it should be Gen 2 or newer.

It looks like it is pretty well used, so ask him how the semi-auto is+ if it ever goes full auto uncontrollably. The stock sears aren't made from steel, so they work fine for the most part, but they will wear down. There are aftermarket steel replacements, but they're a bit pricey.

So if you have this gun can you answer these questions. 1. How far will this gun shoot it feet. 2. Can this thing go full auto and shoot all the bbs before the gas runs out. 3 is this gun usable for field or is it just for fun shooting. And is this still a good deal with how used it looks? Thanks for help

1.That depends entirely on how well the hop up is tuned... The arm that exerts pressure on the hop up rubber is a bit flimsy, so be careful while adjusting it: don't torque it down to get more hop. Instead, think about an Rhop. Mine shoots pretty nice already, so I haven't had to play with the hop up yet.

2. I bought mine lightly used, and it seems to dump the mag without much hassle. It takes a few seconds longer to fill though than a pistol mag, as the mags are actually pretty big

3. I've had mine for a month+ only just fixed a manufacturers defect. No time to game it yet, so I couldn't tell you this. It empties a mag pretty quick + is fun to mess with though, so there is that.

4. I really can't comment on this without seeing it in person, or at least better pictures. The SMG8s have had a history of breaking in various places and WE generally has a history of mediocre quality if you believe the circle-jerk. It is used, so you can't be 100% sure of what you are getting until it's in your hands, so be prepared to have to tinker with it... If it was me, I would buy it for the mags+ having a spare gun to take parts from would be a bonus.

If you buy it, be prepared to buy new sears for $100, and re-grease/lube it right away. Installing a recoil buffer might be wise idea too, but I don't think it's required for the new versions.

Wel the suppressor is 80 bucks and the mags are 125 dollars and the gun is 160 so at 120 I don't got much to lose when I do get it I'll try to send good pictures and you can tell me what I need and stuff I'm hoping I will be able to get it live it up and play I don't really plan on fiddling with it too much.

Hey so I just received the gun today and the stock will not stay on any positions like with little pressure it colapses so what can I do or how do I fix this. Aslo the insides look really greasy is that good or bad? Also I can confirm it has the gold pin.

I cant comment on the stock, but how greasy? Like get us some pictures greasy. A gas gun should be well lubed. But It really depends on what kind of grease/how much.

I usually recommend relubing any gas gun as soon as you get it. This lets you know the grease is fresh and applied properly.
