For anyone thinking of getting the Toronto Airsoft Mystery Box

[SGL]

You have two less G36c to worry about.

These our are first guns for my girlfriend and I. Overall pretty happy with them. They feel pretty solid and I like the look. Think they should well do for beginners like us.

Just a couple of questions.

There was a (an extra?) spring in the box. Do I have to install this or is this to downgrade the gun for CQB? Thought I would ask before opening up the gun. I believe it is pretty simple for this gun but still wanted to ask before doing anything.

To calculate charge time for the battery we do Battery Capacity/Charger output right?. So 1100/250 = 4.4 hours? Is it better to unplug it a little later or a little earlier?

Also meant to get age verified while I was there but there was a cat terrorizing puppy out of its crate in our apartment so wanted in out quickly going to do a trip back to get verified. The staff there did ask for our ID's before giving the guns.

Also swag included was a magpul tshirt in one box and 2 small packets of madbull bbs in the other.



Sorry if this is in the wrong forum it started off as post just to talk about the mystery box but my noobieness seeped out.

My thinking is that the spring in the gun is probably shooting over 366 FPS for import, or possibly over 400 FPS.

The spring is either to bring the gun sub-350, or sub-400. My guess is that the gun is currently shooting over 400FPS, and the spring is included to bring it sub-400. But I can't find anything on the TA website about it.

The only way to really know, is to either chrono it yourself, or to call TA - I would call TA.

yea dont "open" the gun by yourself at least the first time, bring it to a gun doc.

what brand are they? and i loved my TMg36c you will like the folding stock

[Swattiger]

The extra spring is the stock one that you should change it back as soon as possible, as it will make the gun last longer. And you should get a gun doctor to do it for you if you are new to the whole thing.

Or you can just ask the gun doctor to upgrade the internal parts of the gear box to withstand the strong spring. But I doubt if this worths the money for a beginner gun.

buy a good Smart charger for the battery. Don't risk killing your battery. It is well worth the investment

Do NOT use the chargers these things come with. They're complete garbage. Buy a smart charger, it doesn't have to be fancy, but it won't run the risk of damaging the batteries.

Thanks for all the feed back everyone. Going to take them to TA to get the downgrade for indoor combat and it looks like a smart Charger will be a good investment.
