Worst airsoft gun you've ever owned.

Stercus Accidit

Theres been plenty of best gun/favourite gun, fantasy gun threads, but what about nightmare experiences with airsoft?


My worst is my WE luger, sitting broken in the wardrobe, I'm going to have a whack at it with chemical metal soon, to see if I can repair it.
I got a leather holster and spare mag for it, I wanted to have it as the pride of my gbbs, but it was crap.

The mags leaked when I got them, the gun was fussy in anything other than room temperature, and the hop rubber was absolutely trashed, bits hanging out of it. Barrel was a bit rubbish too, paint etc. etc.

I will get it working hopefully though, and replace the hop and I'll have a nice piece.


I had a WE hi-capa once also, was a bit rubbish, and I put about 10 hours into reshaping and modifying the internals to get it working, which I did.
By the time it was fixed I sold it on, my interest in its hideous looks and crappy internals was gone, I believe the guy who bought it was very happy with the gun in the end, as it worked perfectly and still does afaik.

Thats pretty much my worst guns.

Bell m9. Never once worked properly. :mad:

Spetzcong

KWC P99

Blew up on me while I was firing it.

Never worked properly to begin with, but blowing up? that's just dangerous.

DBoys M4 CQB. I've ranted about it in these forums enough, but in a nutshell, I've stopped even trying to repair it. It has yet to work a full 10 minutes without failing in some way, and that's since purchase (the retailer claimed to have had it repaired, but it was obvious that it had never been opened). Potentially good kit, but for me, rubbish.

Ironically, it was my first AEG, and it's what sold me on airsoft. As well as all of you, God help me.


Edit: I'd like to clear something up here. I can't mention the retailer I originally bought it from for various reasons (some of them for my own good, and some of them because of Boards rules ), but later on I got lots of help from Eirsoft with advice and parts to get it working, and get it under 1J. If I'd bought it from them in the first place... Well, I don't think I'd be complaining about it now.

C'est la vie.

I'll buy it! I'm asuming its the GB thats fecked, oh how off topic of me, ignore me, too many broken guns already...

JG bar 10 , although it was a great rifle, it compeltely put me off sniping, same accuracy as my AEG's, same distance, dont see the point in sniping. Put me off the role completely.

Quality gun though

Captain Chaos

JG G36C, never worked right and two years later I've yet to get round to it probably never will.

DBoys M4A1. HATE the plasticky feel of it, it felt flimsy in my hands, and it sounded like a ****ing cheese grater. Never got rid of a gun so fast.

-puts hand up- I bought it! Loved it worked perfectly, traded it recently for a TM Mk23 Socom Worst gun i ever had was a CM022? Ak :rolleyes:

Hande hoche!

TM SR16 developed horrible barrel wobbled,receiver broke and had numerous internal problems.Other people have found it great but was largely responsible for my transition to AKs.

G3-Nut

ASG DS4 carbine, 0.02 joule.....ROFLMAO, works perfect, its just a load a sh*te haha

bought it to mess around with internals

Necron99

either of my GBB pistols, anytime I grabed them out to shoot the enemy I was lucky to get a fart of CO2 or Gas out of them, never worked properly :mad:

NakedDex

JLS FN2000. I love that gun but the JLS version of it had so many flaws in quality I couldn't stick it anymore. There's an insane part of my head that's willing to get another one and just put up with the defects because I loved the feel and balance of it. Luckily G&G are doing one some time this year.

Masada

JLS Fn2000 ia deadly.
I actually bought the one dex is referring to and i love it. theres a few things you can do to improve it though and the plastic finish is a bit cheap looking. that can be helped with a lick of paint, Thats exactly what i did myself and the gun is fantastic!


The gun i hate the most.
The Classic Army Sportline.

Same as that. I was going to add a footnote that maybe I could fix it but if you can't fix yours theirs not much hope of me fixing mine. I got a spare mag for it that was just as useless as the one that came with it. BBs just roll out of the barrel if it's not held slightly up. Terrible, terrible gun.

I knew it would have been good had I put some time and money into it, but at that stage I was just so fed up with it. I'd nearly get another one and do a job in it.

Sod'o swords

Army r85a1...

Fell apart out of the box..
Sella taped the be jasus out of it, but i could barely fire two shots in a row...
Plus the rubber butt rusts, that's just impressive really.

[--SC(+)PE--]

1. Well mp7 [its not fit to be a paper weight]

2. galaxy mp7 [bought a damaged one cheap with different symptoms to the well version with the intention of getting atleast one of them up and running :rolleyes:]

3. mp7 hybrid with parts from both the above guns [the best bits from 2 pieces of ****e will never be equal to something thats not ****e :rolleyes:]

4. Cyma glock Aep, always worked fine but ill never get an Aep again having owned it.

should have known better when someone told me they were rubbish but just had to go and pick one up for having the thrill of an aep. Feels like a toy and shoots like one too..rubbish

Classic army sportsline mp5. Piece of plastic junk. Crap hop . Crap build quality, flimsey trigger. Just pure junk. Swaped it for a jg g36 which was brilliant never a problem

tonyj_mc

Both Elephant G36, worst of the worst. Got it for €80 when wasn't 100% if it was legal or not and it was the worst of the worst, came with a front grip, red dot, and laser and they where all rubbish. think it shot about .5 joule it fealt like a toy gun i had when i was like 7, put me off clones for a good while until i realised that it wasn't a clone just a piece of sh1t

WE 1911..... absolute turnip of a gun compared to my KJW 1911!

Well I've seen people mention other guns like that as worst gun they've owned, like the cm.022 and asg m4 as well, but that's not really fair considering what is paid for them. Like I also have a cm.022 and yes it was weak, inaccurate, and fragile, but I paid 30 euro for it and for that money yeah, it was pretty alright. If you paid 80E for a BE G36 then.....I don't know what to say except who an earth would spend that sort of money on an lpeg!! I had one of those cheap G36's as well except I paid 40 for it, again for the money it was alright.

I've never really owned a terrible gun - yes I've owned countless lpeg's, but nearly all of them do what they say on the tin - come with a load of tacky accessories, last for a few thousand rounds, and shoot at about 200fps. Even then once you've broken them, they're great for wall hangers. So I wouldn't ever say that any of those guns were the worst gun I've ever owned, even though on a purely technical basis they would be.

Worst gun I've ever owned would be the ASG Franchi 3A, it looks decent but it continuously jams, my friends broke after about 10 rounds. So on that count I rate it the worst gun, as it wasn't remotely reliable. The fact that is was only 45 euro is irrelevant - it simply couldn't do the most elementary thing reliably...fire.

Never really owned a bad AEG or Pistol...did have a JG 18C but sold it on without firing a single shot so reckon that might have been a contender from what a few people have said, my other guns are a DE M3 Super 90, a kjw m9 and a g&g ak47, never so much as an ounce of trouble between them.

theburi

it would be great if people would post price and year when bought.
The same manufacture had different versions.

Yeah i know but i didn't know any better at the time, think i made up for it over the last couple of years though

hoplite

Close tie between Well MP7 and JLS SCAR both donkeys!

birdman 1979

TM M4 RIS, what a load of dung. It crono at 250fps, a massive amount of barrel wobble and totaly overpriced. Its now a mass of nuts and bolts at the moment. I stripped it to put a g&p metal bodie on it, and half way trough it i said F%^k IT. Plus it was my first aeg.

MAD Ozzie

Notice that at least 90% of the AEG's and GBB's are cheep brands!!
Most of us have learnt the hard way.
Me, it was 3 Dboy's M4's (all 3 of em lasted no more than 2 months)

It goes to show, its better to get a good Brand at a higher price, than go through loads of cheep S##T.

(Not saying that all good brands are good) all AEG's and GBB's will cause trouble
at some stage. Some less than others. (And I have the ability to break water!)

It pays to invest in what you love, because cheep, may just cost you more in the
long run.

Just my 2 bob.

i got 1 6 months ago and no noticible probs after 40 - 50,000 bbs IMO Dboys FTW

Something I'd like to clarify from my earlier post about my DBoys M4 CQB, since some people mentioned it to me. I can't mention the retailer I originally bought it from for various reasons (some of them for my own good, and some of them because of Boards rules ) but it was malfunctioning out of the box, and firing at well over 1J...

Later on I got lots of help from Eirsoft with advice and parts to get it working, and get it under 1J. If I'd bought it from them in the first place... Well, I don't think I'd be complaining about it now.

Army R85/L85A1. Pig to work on.

Double Eagle M3 Super 90 Shotty. Crap plastic internals that break all too easy.

The worst out of 3 ia my GBB pistol, only because the hammer won't lock back reliably (Which actually give full-auto fire, but I'm afraid to use it incase of damaging it) WA 6" Infinity.

It's just the hop unit in it that's knackered. I use it for parts when I convert my CA G36K into the C model sometimes. I'm also going to use it for donor parts when my G36K packs it in.

My 1st bb gun, looked so good on the site, when I got it it was already falling apart, motor never even came close to the 330fps claim on the site, so sick of it that I binned it' got a tm famas and never looked back, never compromise is the key with airsoft

1 - bbgun is not airsoft. Please use the correct terminology.

2 - 330fps is over the 1j limit. The charter states not to discuss airsoft over 1 joule. I'd advise you to have a read of it.

No doubt the worst one I ever had the misfortune to own was a Jing Gong (JG) Glock 18c GBB. Absolute piece of S**t. It's nailed to the wall as a reminder to check reviews before buying in future.

My most sincere apolagies for my lack of terminolgy knowledge and my amnesia towards the correct measurement of 1joule (sarcasim is hard to portray using an iPod touch)

My misfortune was to own a CA.

Thankfully that was a long time ago.

I have not made that mistake again.
