Chinese knock off aeg's

Kokanee · January 28th, 2007, 12:58

Would you consider buy one of the newer chinese "knockoffs" coming out onto the market?

Kid · January 28th, 2007, 13:00

This would be referring to CYMA, DE,, WELL, etc? Or unnamed brands?

Roadboy · January 28th, 2007, 13:08

Yea, its referring to those Brands..

The Saint · January 28th, 2007, 13:10

I wish I could vote for both "Yes, finally a reasonably priced alternative!" and
"Project gun time! / Strip them for parts", because both can apply.

ancorp · January 28th, 2007, 13:22

Ditto, but in Canada its nowhere near as worth it as in the US. Here they are about like...60% of the cost, there its closer to 30%...

Cheers,
Alex

I might consider one for a project gun. I wouldn't trust the gearbox though, personally

On the newer Chinaegs (HAHA ME CLEVER), the gearbox and gears both seem half decent. There's an unfortunately high occurence of clear tappets, spring guides and nozzles however. Things that someone really new to airsoft might not notice (even in terms of performance, if they don't read enough) and someone not-so-new to airsoft would just swap out.

I would definatly use CYMA guns for projects. However, as previously mentioned, the internals would have to be replaced just because of realibility.

Curtis Tactics · January 28th, 2007, 13:51

if there was nothing else on the market like it, lets say a SKS then yeah

Dirty Deeds · January 28th, 2007, 14:06

Woot....cheap parts guns!

Pip · January 28th, 2007, 14:11

Voted yes, but if i could swap out the internals for something better then i'd be much happier.

thephenom · January 28th, 2007, 14:59

I wouldn't mind getting one or two half decent ones as a loaner gun for friends. Personally I wouldn't mind that China brand L96A1, for its price, it's worth it as a display piece.

As Slater said "dude....its quality not quantity"

Quality wins, hands down.

word has it, they are making a cheap alternative to LCD TVs....called the Etch A Sketch

HaZarD SFD · January 28th, 2007, 15:26

I would pick one up if the price was right and to just see how good they are. if
it is shit ill keep it to tease my cat.

Parts / value.

I didn't intend to use this CYMA AEG I bought as a long term weapon for skirmishing but the more I learn about it's compatibility I'm considering upgrading it when it starts to fail.
