G&G Armament, planned release, C7A1

HKGhost · August 13th, 2013, 17:32

Yes, I'm aware of Top Tech being very good and on par with high quality brands. But this gun doesn't say Top Tech anywhere so I'm assuming it's just the standard G&G guns. If the internals is Top Tech, then it's a shame that the externals are so poor.

is it safe to say that the MSRP is 500 dollars, well according to CapAir though

Distributor info states it's TopTech internals w/ blowback mechbox. I've got a case preordered.

The G&G C7A1 should not have the "M4 stock" (four-position law enforcement stock) because the RS C7A1 never came with a retractable stock. The difference between the C7 and C7A1 was the introduction of the flat top - the C7A2 was the introduction of the retractable stock and the ambidexterous fire selector. Why there is a Triad on there (for the sake of it being a C7A1) is beyond me.

All that said, I'm glad to see someone taking an interest in making a Canadian weapon. All too long now if someone wanted a "Canadian" weapon (C7 or C8 and all their variants) they had to buy the American version (M16 or M4) and modify it appropriately. It's great to see a C7A1 being produced right from factory. Aside from the Triad being available separately (as has been confirmed that it will be), I'm curious if the C79 Elcan will be an accurate representation....besides the screws/wingnuts.

While I'm happy that a C7A1 will be available, I personally will not likely be purchasing one simply because it is an AEG. I got bit by the GBBR bug and I prefer to use them. But if the parts (Triad, Elcan, etc.) are of good quality, I would consider purchasing them to assist with any C7A2 or C8A2/A3 GBBR builds.

I confirm, i just got one !

It's almost like the real one, except for the axle which has a circlip instead of being riveted.

Very good quality too !

I have learned that Trigger Airsoft is bringing in the G&G GC7A1 (C7A1) @ 475$ Can. They also can bring in the "Black" version as well.

They are the plastic internals. They are not the upgraded internals. and it says GC intermediate on the banner for the gun which means plastic internals. so it is not a top tech.

I've never seen a G&G with "plastic internals". What are these internals you speak of? Spring guide? Hopup chamber? Those are about the only internal parts I've seen that are available as plastic or metal. Even the Combat Machine guns are coming with stamped steel gears now instead of the older sintered metal ones.

The first batch to Canada are going to be green, not black. Black will be available Octoberish. I'm told the trades are as close as G&G could get and keep the lawyers happy in lue of a licensing agreement.

Danke · September 9th, 2013, 20:12

I demand a metal hop up rubber. And a metal Glock frame. And maybe metal lenses for my goggles.

electric blow back or gas??
why must G&G waste time on fucking electric blow back....it really bugs me

Danke · September 9th, 2013, 20:22

Because people in the UK love Colt Canada and hate gas.

Cliffradical · September 9th, 2013, 20:32

Damn, usually I stick up for G&G but I want nothing to do with their blowback bullshit.

Darklen · September 9th, 2013, 22:26

It's an electric pneumatic blowback. There's a secondary piston assembly on top of the main piston. As the main piston fires, air is tapped off though a small hole in the top of the cylinder that goes to the blowback cylinder. the only thing the blowback cylinder does is drive the faux bolt back and forth. Doesn't look like much when you dry fire with the gun empty but look decent with it loaded and firing. Depending on the gun it makes a snappy cracking sound or more of a rattling snap (like the AK)

If you don't like it, it's fairly easy to disable but requires disassembly of the mechbox to do so.
