Papabees Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) So I am almost a year into this hobby and I am planning on picking up a really high quality AEG. My plan is to spend around $250-$300. My list of wants is as follows: Accuracy and Range are a priority. I have a gun that serves me well in CQB already. Solid internals. I want it to last M4 platform. Matches most of my other accesories Quick change spring. I just don't want to have to fiddle with opening a gearbox to change a spring. It appears that this gun has most of my wants:http://www.evike.com/products/48523/ Price seems to be solid. I'll miss the quick change spring but I might be able to live with that if the rest of the gun works for me. This is where I need your help. I am unfamiliar with the brand and was hoping to get some input. Thoughts, opinions and thrown pottery welcome. Thanks.

AceReaper Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Dish the extra for a krytac crb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I find that the <$300 is an awkward price point. Once you hit that $300 range quality really seems to increase; however, based on my knowledge of G&P they are fairly sold guns. I might also suggest looking into G&G's mid-tier lineup as well as Classic Army. However, as Reaper noted, if you can spring for the extra $100, you really won't regret it.

Rex Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Also, it is worth noting that Krytac did recently launch their "budget friendly" Alpha line. I believe the biggest differences are the weaker motor and lighter spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starblade54 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Save the extra little bit and get a Krytac CRB. Leagues above the G&Ps, and most other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rated R Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 You will be happy with either gun that you choose. I don't know what G&P Starblade is comparing to, but saying " leagues above " made me lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what G&P Starblade is comparing to, but saying " leagues above " made me lol. I would be refering to the G&P that i owned. It was garbage. plain and simple.

cardkid2331 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The new VFCs are pretty awesome - I just grabbed one but it was $369. Honestly...the extra 60-100 bucks will make a huge difference. Krytac SPR, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papabees Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Weeeeell you jokers convinced me. I sold some other hobby stuff that has been collecting dust and bought the Krytac from amazon last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papabees Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 What battery were you using? Krytacs really shine with a 11.1 15c.That's what's crazy. I was only using a 7.4 LiPo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endgame Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Rated R gave me an 11.1v lipo a while back and for shits and giggles, I threw it in my Krytac SPR.... Then I wondered what monstrosity did I unleash upon this world. It screamed like a blood thirsty banshee when I pulled the trigger and demanded tribute of the souls of non-believers and try-hard blood. Then I removed the 11.1 from the Krytac and promised to never speak of it again..... I can hear it calling my name.....it hungers.....make it stop....

Darth Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I always have trigger lag with a 7.4 even a high c rated one. That's why I always run a 11.1. I had to put a 130 spring in it to keep from going over the 20rps limit at BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Krytacs only feast on 11.1v lipos, makes it more enjoyable when I (on the very rare occasion) switch the selector to fun and pull the trigger.
