A mid way company like A&K or Echo 1 should make one thats full metal and real wood for like $300 shooting at like 450 fps, more suitable for sniping rather than a collectors item.
why is everything pseudo-blowback now? Its much to fiddly on AEGs and my friends jammed because some dirt or something got in it. What they did with the charging handle is cool, just not the blowback.
@andromedarr Ares is not japanese, they are in Hong Kong.....ABS isnt weak, its not as strong as metal but its not gonna break on you. Have you ever owned a TM gun? I highly doubt it.
@frylock44 Really? Ok, i though Ares was Japaneese. do you have some information, if they could make the Weapons stronger if they are exporting them?
ABS isnt really Weak, but TM (yes, i have owned one) uses very hard ABS, that breaks easily, like in their G3 Models. Other Companys like JG use very soft ABS, that can withstand some abuse.
Some G3 Models where unusable after a few Months, because the Body was so damn weak.
@andromedarr Ive been working at Airsoft Atlanta since 2006 and I've handled probably hundreds of tm's and the only ones whose body ever worried me were the older famas's that creaked like a son of a bitch. I'd take a TM over a jg in a heartbeat though, TM's will usually last forever and then some.
i think marui should make an updated version were the forward assist is the spring decompressor and maybe add some recoil to that bolt i also think the tripod should be included
nice review,thanks. however the music is really something you might consider avoiding in future reviews. its not easy to follow your words over the loud background music. too much busy-ness bro.
The vid said to get G3 mags with higher capacity, so think 300 rounds instead of 15. I got mine from Redwolf Airsoft with upgraded gears so the fps was around 450-470, making it a marksman class for some stateside airsoft groups. Usually below 400 is aeg, 450 is marksman, 500+ is sniper class. It is very long and can eat a lot of battery juice over the course of a day. Still, it's a fun rifle, but you'll have to shoot from bushes, not stand toe to toe with a ptw, per se.
Can you let me know if this gun is worth the price? I can get a second hand one for around 50% of original retail price, but I have heard mixed reviews. Some say it's unreliable and low on power, others really like it? Can you please let me know what you think of it? Thanks,
Ya I know how you feel dude, i would snap this up if it was under 300 bucks, anyway check out flankertanker's review he does the most in depth reviews.
Just because it looks the same doesn't mean it's as good. Tokyo Marui is the ONLY airsoft mfg. that makes a PSG-1 that can be upgraded and isn't shit.
i assume you mean a 4x40 scope, btw not worth 80 bucks, more like 20, and for another 10 u can get a 3-9x40 illuminated scope. 509mm is more like 20 inches not 30, most good airsoft snipers do not use a semi auto gun...mostly bolt action as there is no point to it, because most of the time you are observing and reporting. and for 500 bucks i would rather save another 150 and get an Ares AW 338
quality. if you ever get a chance to look at a nightforce, or leopould scope youd be amazed.also the clicks are more accurate and there is more adjustment
like i said, its airsoft, u dont need that stuff for it, its not a real bullet, its a ball, shooting at 300 fps, as for quality, as long as its not plastic, your fine.
im guessing you mean a 4x40 scope, thats not worth 80 bucks...more like 30 and for 30 u can get a better scope, 509 mm is NOT 30 inches more like 20, and either way its an airsoft gun you dont need a 80 dollar scope, also most good snipers use a bolt action, i dont really see the point of an semi auto sniper on the field, unless your doing some urban stuff where u snipe from house to house, but on the field your just gonna mostly observe and report
Damn, stock and it can do that good of a shot, wow. I love those extra features it has, you can practiacally adjust anything! I was thinking about getting the VSR-10 G-Spec, but, I'm not so sure now.
i would rather get the VSR i dont like aeg's for sniper rifles. point is, bolt actions (springs) put all its down force onto the bb you are fireing and all its power is concentrated, on an aeg, when u fire the spring hits the bb and quickly goes back, therefore it does not put all it's force down on the gun, if you can spend 500 bucks for a sniper rifle, i would rahter get an upgraded spring rifle, or a gas rifle, depending on where u live
That is not how AEGs work, the piston goes back quickly because the gears rotate, pulling it back, all the power of the spring is directedat the BB only. However, BoltActions are of simpler design and can handle more powerful springs, that is their one advantage over AEGs.
There is a guy who plays at my field and he has a TM PSG-1, that thing is a beast. He has upgraded the gun to when he brings it out to the field, everyone is like "Crap!". Its a very nice rifle and he rarely brings it out, the thing is beautiful.
Yea this one got a little loud, I was using old software that only let me take it down to 20%, now it can go down to as little as .1%. I put it in there just so its me talking as a and moving hands. Thanks for the advice thought
Systema FTK is a great upgrade for the psg, but beware of the 400% spring version. I have already busted 2 systema aluminum pistons (both at the first tooth) with mine with very little use. Maybe it was bad luck but IMHO i think the 400 is too strong for the piston the FTK kit comes with. I backed it down to 300% spring (around 475fps@.20) and it works great.Does anyone know of a psg piston that will handle the 400? Maybe one with full titanium teeth instead of one or two like Ive seen?
The motor is the High Torque Systema Magnum (red) that comes with the FTK26 full tune up kit. The kit comes with a 400% spring which works great while its working, but it chews through pistons like its starving to death. (including the aluminum piston the kit comes with)
The entire kit costs around 280 on Redwolf or Uncompany. Like I said above, I now use a 300% spring and it is much more stable. I am currently searching for a psg piston that is stronger than the Systema aluminum one.
The real Heckler & Koch PSG-1 has no wood on it.. :C Tokyo Marui, why did you not make the pistol grip better?
