G&G AK-47 VS Aftermath Kraken

moose_lee · September 29th, 2010, 13:46

I'm a huge fan of the Kraken. Mine has held up ridiculously well to the abuse I've put it through and keeps on going.

Bought mine for $160 new, gave it a nice black spray job with Krylon ultra flat black. Tossed on a wood kit (just because I happened to have one) and tossed in a new battery to replace the one it came with.

Thing shoots hard and straight, only issues I have with it isn't really with the gun, its a mag issue. One thing you need to be careful of though is the body. Its not the strongest thing ever made, so just avoid throwing it around or smashing it into things. For a starter gun I don't think there are many options out there that are better. Best bang for your buck in my opinion.

WOA WOA WOA there. I love krakens but there is no way G&G gets ranked underneath them. Hell Airsoftgi one of the biggest airsoft retailers in America ranked it up as one of the top 4 brands out there including VFC. Krakens are good and G&G are better, and yes that Ak was probably a lemon RedZephyr. Mine works fine.

I would always choose taiwan over china made guns anyday...

I do realise that; obviously not all G&G rifles are bunk right off the shelf. If mine was the only problem I'd ever seen with one, I'd probably not even mention it. Maybe it's just been a bad batch locally, or something else entirely.

Either way, I find myself pausing any time I consider something with their logo stamped on it. Though the F2000 is so tempting...

I just built a suppressor for my kraken out of a couple film canisters, a pen, and some Kleenex... Its accuracy is the same though I think its fps dropped by like 20. sound dropped by 75%!!!

Besides it being a Kraken i can't see any relevance in this Thread at all LOL. But still thats pretty cool.

I wouldn't rank G&G up their with VFC solely b/c their low end stuff is hit or miss. What's ASGI's criteria for the rankings? Sales? Of course G&G gonna be up their ever since they flooded the market with low end crap. Since VFC doesn't make low end guns and the quality of their internals have improved, this automatically makes their guns better.

The problem is that there is multiple 'versions' of G&G

The crap - (Combat Machine)
Not crap - (Top tech)

Most of the stuff you see G&G in canada is Combat machine crap.

Thank you Pyrohair i love the fact that people are finally understanding that there is no point of arguing about a "toy gun" because we all have our own opions, freedom of speech and our freedom of rights if we want a cheap gun by all means go ahead and buy it its your money your decision deal with it the way you want.

Now about your decision my friend. I own an Aftermath kraken myself baught from Cabelas when it was on sale for $99 so i am extremely happy with it ca down a coke can with 2 shots from 100 feet away currently mounted a red dot and lazer sight to it. Soon i will be getting a madbull plack python 6.03mm barrel for it a prommy bucking, air seal nozzle and tons of different uppgrades for less than $150 this gun is extremely compatible and is 100% TM compatible so ya i honestly say go with the kraken but dont pay over $150 for it there are other sites that ship clear guns to canada and they sell the kraken for $117. so ya bro that my opinion and experience, take it or leave it and thats alli have to offer. Have a good one (P.S. example http://www.myairsoftarmy.com/store-c...s_3836069.html)

oh snap! a coke can from 100 FEET AWAY!!! OMG!!!! I am SO getting one of these AND A LAZER!!, those pesky coke cans will never bother me again muahhahah!

Strelok · October 22nd, 2010, 00:24

100 ft shot is fucking easy dude.

Try hitting something at 250 - 300 ft with that thing.

Consistently.

Then come back.

Lol it's not a sniper. Or a $300+ über quality overpowered aeg...

Overpowered is the wrong word to use there.

Most of the Manitoba guys guns (That I built) will be firing around 370 to 390 FPS where alot of Krakens, KJW M4 and MK1 guns fire well over 450.

There's a big difference in shooting a BB Hard and shooting a BB accurately.

it depends more on the weight of the bb and the head power (ie. Kraken ak is 1joule) then the fps. Right?

Armen000 · December 12th, 2010, 03:29

250-350 FEETTTTT DUDE ARE YOU STUPID????????????? I HAVE A Ruger Airhawk (canadian version) shoots at least 550FPS and its a 4.5mm= smaller less air resistance and heavier because its lead and shape like a bullet for aerodynamics!!!!! AND I CAN ONLY GET ACCURATE SHOTS TILL 250 FEET. An AEG that can compare to that gun is god and after my upgrades i can now shoot that can at about 175 feet at 370FPS (S100 spring) imagine if i were to put an S120 spring and see how much farther i can push my range.

and the whole misconception about FPS increasing accuracy, guess what, increasing FPS with a barrel with a bore diameter of at least 6.03mm does actually increase accuracy quite considerably my gun as an example i had switched springs and my grouping got much tighter i dont know how much more you can increase the accuracy with fps but its something to look into.
