Hello Guys, I'm new here and to airsoft. I have been looking at companies and trying to see what is the best bang for buck but also wanting a quality gun. I have looked at G&G & KWA. I have heard they are great companies. I was wondering how CYMA is as a company I have a link to a gun I was looking into getting an would greatly appreciate your thoughts on it. www.airsoftmegastore.com/CUSTOM_COLT_M4_CQB_R_Package_p/gun-custom-79.htmThank you and I look forward to joining some of the events you have setting up.

G&G and KWA are both great companies, and better than CYMA for the most part. CYMA does make some good AK variants, but KWA and G&G have better quality control. Also, it may just be me, but your link seems to be broken.

If that gun actually shoots 450 you will have to modify it to shoot semi auto only per MIA regulations. Otherwise you would not be allowed to use it in any MIA events.

Another thing, if you want to shoot at an indoor cqb house they usually don't allow guns over 350. I have my gun shooting about 330 and it works as a good all rounder. You would be surprised that even a gun shooting that low would work well outdoors, but as knief said its all about the hop up and consistent compression.

If you guys scrolled down and looked at the specs you'd see it says 350-400 fps.
That being said if you want a m4 style gun go with a G&G or a KWA, those companies produce some great m4 variants.

One more quick question. G&G vs KWA. Can you upgrade both and who has more customizing options?

You can upgrade both, but some people complain about how KWA has a lot of proprietary parts.

Both are up-gradable, and they both have equal amount of customization. If the gun has rails you can customize it.

Generally you should stay away from Electric Blowback guns because they add nothing but another part to break, and I'm not to sure about the integrated laser deal but other than that it looks fine. Also try not to shop on airsoft megastore.

On the KWA vs G&G note, KWA uses proprietary gearbox shells and gears. Everything else uses standard version 2 gearbox parts (except for the spring guide which is version 3, but that's just as easy to find). So if you break a gear (or the gearbox shell, which is unlikely) in a KWA it would be more costly to replace it. That said, KWA comes with stronger, more reinforced parts. The gears are stronger, the shell is stronger, and the motor is much stronger. So really it comes down to whether you prefer easier/cheaper replacement parts, or having to replace parts less often. If you're looking into the cheaper side of both companies to use as a base gun, I recommend the Combat Machine series for G&G, and the CQR series for KWA. These series are much cheaper than the higher end version but they still have the same internal quality. The only real difference is that the expensive ones have metal bodies, and the cheaper ones have a high quality plastic body. Also to reiterate BM_5's point, stay away from electric blow back.

I had a Classic Army Bevel gear in my KWA. Regular gears work just fine, they just need to be shimmed like in any other gearbox. Where people get confused is that you can't really use KWA gears in other guns, but regular gears work fine in KWAs, or at least thats how it worked in mine.

That's what I was referring to (on the proprietary part). I should have been more clear on that, sorry. Though, I was told when I bought my KWA that when using other gears, you still have to pick out thicker than average gears, like the Hurricane ones.
