Actually, when it comes to lower-end ACM clones, I'd place the newer CYMA guns (0.27 and up) next to JG in terms of quality.

I though it wasn't a piece of shit.
So that's a good deal for the AK then?

Yeah, CYMA is fine. You can try it out first. If you don't like it, you can always spend more to get your second gun with higher quality.

It's a CYMA.
I have no idea if that's any good, but I tried it out and it's beautiful to fire. Only annoying thing is the scroll, because if you forget you're only shooting air.

What do you mean scroll? The hicap winder?

Well the thing on the cartridge or magazine or whatever, it's winds up bb's into the gun. I assume yes.

All guns have the "wind" feature no matter which brand you get.
However, for most guns you can get a midcap or lowcap aftermarket magazine, which you don't have to wind. But the downside is is that you won't be able to hold as many rounds per mag. But it may be worth it to you.

Disco_Dante September 23rd, 2008 23:18

That's not a downside. Tactical maracas are irritating. And whats the point of getting an airsoft replica if you have to wind the magazine? It's unrealistic, you may as well buy a JG dragon and spray paint it bright pink.

Fedor Emelianenko September 23rd, 2008 23:31

I think the only reason why the wind up was annoying was because it was my first time with the gun and I kept forgetting. If I made it into a habit it would be alright. There's just a minor disadvantage of someone coming around a corner and spotting you spinning your win dup thing. Then shooting you at leisure.

ya, as has been stated, go to a few games and start saving ALOT for when you finnaly turn 18, than get age verified and buy to you budgets limit.

As Dante pointed out, Hi-caps also rattle. A lot. You also can't fire your gun at any other angle but rightside up since the loading mechanism in the highcap is gravity feed (I know this isn't a huge issue, but I have on occaison found it useful to fire my gun on it's side). And lastly, mag changing while under fire is downright fun. I think that's a great aspect of the sport highcap-only users are really missing.

Having said all that, you don't need a ton of mags or anything right away. Play with the hi-cap for now and pick up some more mags when you can afford it. STAR MP5 mags are dirt cheap.

I bought a 445fps (with .12g BB's) Sig 552 Commando. I Use .20 gram BB's because it's so much more accurate. The gun is mostly metal but heavy duty plastic in the center. The Mag is translucent kinda. I like that because you can see when you need to wind it up. The brand is Swiss Arms.


Overall very happy.

I have a question though. Do you have to have the orange tip in america or does that rule apply to Canada to?

Orange tips are not required in Canada.

Although; You should really stop buying crap.

With the money you spent on a Cyma and that Swiss Arms 552, you could have bought a CA or TM gun :)
