So I ordered my first gun today!

[Aaidin]

I finally put a deposit on a gun and am getting it order it should be in shop within 3-4 weeks at the latest. It's a CA33E from Classic Army. Anyone here have one of these guns? Anyone have any thoughts or comments on what I should expect from it? I plan to upgrade it fairly extensively and use it mainly for outdoor skirmishes in a sniper-like capacity. I'm excited though, and I'll let you know how the gun performs as soon as I get it and play a couple skirmishes and do some range, accuracy and FPS tests.

Got it, Love It. Solid as hell, not too heavy, but just right.

Dont know if it is just mine, but I dare you to try and make it stall/jam on semi-auto. I've intentionally tried it and cannot do it. (Mine is pushing a PDI 150% Sprintg & other goodies too.) Exremely smooth operating gun.

You can expect an extremely well built & flawlessly performing gun. Bout my only beef with the gun is........well the lack of available parts & NO TRADEMARKS. Other then that, CA has really gone full out on this gun.

I gotta compliment CA on the trigger assembly, it is EXTREMELY responsive. You pull the trigger and it fires instantly. I've had one person @ a local game ask me if I was in full auto while in a semi-auto only skirmish. (It's that sweet.)

The ROF is pretty damn good, But I also have a TM EG700 Motor in mine.

Accuracy is WICKED, Im also running either a 450mm 6.04 or 550mm 6.03 Tightbore. (Covered by a suppressor when used, gotta love that threaded outter barrel. Not Pictured.)

I can accurately hit a human sized target at easily 130ft @ 390FPS (Used .20g & .25g AE bb's for accuracy testing.), BTW use black AE bb's in this gun if you really dont want to be noticed.

Motor noise really isnt that much, quite the quite gun, with a suppressor on it is even quieter.

Here's mine:

CA33E & MP5K.


CA33E & MP5K Again.



CA33PDW.



CA33 Sniper.



You've made an excellent choice as far as picking out a VERY uncommon AEG.

Off the top of my head, The only person I can think of that has one of these as well is HarleyB. (Thats across Canada. :lol: )

[Aaidin]

Haha, sweet! You have no idea how much more excited that gets me! Got any recommended upgrades? First thing first I want a tightbore barrel and an M130 or M140 spring (I've heard it can handle the M150, is that true?). Also, I obviously need a scope asap if I want to play sniper.

[BC_K]

Guarder parts will do your gun good. Will love you long time.

You WILL require a 9.6v battery, I highly advise Sanyo or Nuclear Power NiCd brand batteries. They run upgraded guns extremely well.

Go with Prometheus for a tightbore, might as well get a 6.03 if your going for accuracy.

M150, No idea, Im a PDI %150 kinda guy.

A scope isnt exactly neccessary, quite annoying to try and aim with paintball goggles on, or so it is for me. But then again its all personal preference.

I cannot aim well with a scope & my goggles on, but I get wicked accurate shots with my Aimpoint.

BTW, Field your gun a couple times & learn the layout & habits of your gun before tinkering with it, You'll master your weapon much better that way.

You'll also discover your own personal playing style if you havent already.

What are the field limits for AEG's in BC? Wouldn't an M140 put the muzzle velocity just shy of 450fps? I think that's a little hot IMHO.

[BC_K]

Local field limits are 400FPS @ Panther. 330 IIRC @ NS & The CQB Field.

Yes it would be VERY hot.

An M120S of mine shot at 430FPS (My MP5K Hehe, Now using a PDI %150), I Could only image what that spring would produce.

[Aaidin]

I think I calculated the M140 to put it right around 400 +/- 10, which might be a bit hot seeing as the limits are 400 (I'm also new and probably did the calculations wrong, haha). So I'll probably go with the M130. I find everything from iron sighting to scoping hard with paintball mask, but I don't have more useable goggles yet because we play with a guy who has a paintball gun and getting smacked in the face with a paintball isn't cool. I'll probably pick up some useable goggles ASAP so I can start playing in local milsims and stuff. I know when I play I tend to sit still and move slowly for the most part, although occasionally I like to yell things like 'Covering Fire!' and run like shit straight through enemy fire, haha! Thanks a lot for the advice once the gun comes in and I play with it a bit I'll discuss upgrades with you more in detail, if you don't mind.

[BC_K]

You are speaking about Systema brand springs are you not? If so, an M120 is the MOST you'll need.

To be honest I wouldnt advise their springs, they tend to be extremely stiff & quite often mislabeled in their packages.

PDI's are a bit softer, compress easier, yet still put out pretty much the same fps results. Less stress on your mechbox.

Would be my pleasure to discuss this in much greater detail, You an PM me or send me a message on msn, You can find all that info in my profile.

I would recomend you play a few games with a stock gun and get used to it. It takes some discipline and trust on the part of your fellow players to have some new guy walk in with a gun thats upgraded to the tits shooting 400+.... I know guys who play with stock guns and get more kills on average than the upgraded stuff. Come out, learn, play. See if one of the local clubs is running a "bootcamp" best place to learn.

SockMonkey local Chairsofter(due to injury) signing out!

yeah man i suggest you learn from your gun before rushing for upgrades. I suggest a season or 2 before you do. get to know your gun and slowly look at what might need to be modified... quite frankly i dont see the "NEED" to modify anyways , playing the gun stock should give you all the excitment you need... getting more fps will just hurt others and indoors its almost useless.
so its up to you , the smart move is patients ! good luck with your descision.

This comment makes me think you either havent played at all, or maybe just once or twice.

A higher FPS is a very nice thing to have outdoors, as it gives you a bit more range. It also add's more momentum to your bb's so they can for example, go through small brush/ect.

You think people upgrade to 400FPS just for the sake of saying " Ya it shoots @ 400!"?

If higher fps only hurt people, do you think they would be allowed?

[SlipStream]

How much would that gun usually cost by the time it reaches canada??? i was planning on buying one of these soon as well.

$575 CAD. You HAVE to buy it within Canada.

[Dieselboy]

you quote smthg and say the complete opposite... i was saying higher fps INDOOR is useless considering the fact that most indoor games have FPS Limiters ...outside i understand its the contrary. and it doesnt take me 200 games to know that.
if you read what i said i chose my wording quite carfully to avoid comments like that.

[Dieselboy]

and iw asnt talking about a week 400 fps i was tlaking about more grand fps numbers can u honestly tell me when you get shot you can tell the diffrence between 350 and 400 ????

"OH wow that guy is using 400.... 2 min later oh wow this guy has 380 ! "

i was talkign abiut more seriouse fps ... so before arguing with me about 400 fps calm yourself down smoke a cigar drink a coronna and give the guy who bought the gun some positive advice like exploring his gun before using his money to modify it . instead of telling the whole world that im not experienced enough to know basic logic of airsofting !
