I would like to raise this discussion to all teamwarhawks members so that we can guide our new recruits in buying their guns and other accesories . What do you think are the important factors that we should consider especially in choosing a gun to buy. Should it be the price, quality.the"looks"(purma baga) or things like how easy is the gun to upgrade or repair.

I have few recruits before and i always say to them, before you buy ask some advice first from us or from other old warhawks members. Based on my experience I find it very beneficial and i tell you, it really helps. To all teamwarhawks , we have a lot of experience already and i think we should share some ot those things to our newbies.

AEG wise, i think it should be the make itself.. the "look" comes later.. and the gun will choose its master (tama ba?) it would be best for them to rent first rather than buy.. feel the skirmish site then later they can buy their own.. attitude of course, i mean the way you play.. hit taking etc etc

You're right sir valek, I think they should "feel" airsofting first by trying to rent an aeg before deciding whether to continue with this expensive habits of ours. Just one advise to newbies, acm aeg are nice and cheap but pag nasira o nagluko ,the airsoft shops here ay hindi tumatanggap ng lo- end gun for repair. Sir buzzinator has a acm g3 , after a month nasira and we tried to fix it with sir gene but very complicated ang internals, di namin alam ang sira so he decided to send it to the shop but they refused because they are only fixing hi-end aeg.

Just one advise to newbies, acm aeg are nice and cheap but pag nasira o nagluko ,the airsoft shops here ay hindi tumatanggap ng lo- end gun for repair. Sir buzzinator has a acm g3 , after a month nasira and we tried to fix it with sir gene but very complicated ang internals, di namin alam ang sira so he decided to send it to the shop but they refused because they are only fixing hi-end aeg. Please don't discourage the newbies of buying the those "Low-end" China-made aegs. These kind of aegs got lots of potential. As what Airsoft Scotland Online shop categorised these said AEGs as LPHP AEGs(Low Price High Performance)AEGs. They just need some tweakings and internal upgrading and they're good as the TM or CA. For me, I use to be a Tokyo Marui fanatic but a recent ACM(All-China Made)AEG convert. In fact, I got Jing Gong G36(and another Jing Gong Aug Steyr coming) and been using it for 4 months. It just needed an internal upgrading afterawhile(spring, metal bushings, metal bearing spring guide)and it's good to go for some more months of good performance. Actually, it's also how we use or abuse these beasts. Handle it with care and it would serve us well. Such internal upgrading is natural. Even in Tokyo Marui, Classic Army or ICS, we still need to put some upgraded parts in its gearbox. Mind you, Classic Army, ICS, Star and G&P Brands are non-Japanese Brands. They are Taiwanese Brands which in the previous years were ridiculed because of their quality. But they got better as years go by. Currently, ACM or those LPHP AEGs are still on their toddler stage in airsofting world. But they have grown leaps and bounds. They got a bright future ahead. So for Newbies, don't hesitate to buy one, such as highly recommended ACM/LPHP AEG Brands, such as Jing Gong, and A&K. But don't forget to do some internal upgrading after 1-2 months.

I'm not discouraging newbies to buy acm aeg as long as somebody is willing to lend their expertise in helping upgrading this aeg. I,myself is planning to buy a JG g36 complete gearbox set with motor ($39 each) in point act store in HK but they hav a minimum order of $100 so i need three item to order. If you got a g36 and wants some back-up then im happy enough to order then we can share the postage cost.

im not really a techie sir spongebob when it comes to "gun baklasing"; pero the barrel, spring, the gear box usually gets the upgrade not to mention the hopup, (what else papis?)
if you want the gun to do good in the field.. if u want aesthetic ugrading, buy a new kit for your aeg.. we call it conversion kits..like if u want your m4 or m14 to look nice, there are so many dressing up kits out there, but for me its not the look, its you who makes your gun cool... hehehehe
you can start your upgrading skills in a chinese made AEG coz theyre not that expensive then maybe later when u have the skills, you can try the high end ones...

sir spongebob we have topics on the FYEO section with regards to upgrading internals, chosing the right spring, and websites with video instruction on how to open up, maintain and upgrade mechbox.

what aspects of the gun usually gets upgrading? how does one go about it? do i just buy parts and replace the old parts? The gun's stock parts such as: 1) Inner barrel: replace it with tighter barrel...Hmmm..Systema or Prometheus barrel will do. Either 6.04mm or 6.03mm diametre. Importance of tight barrel: Good and tight groupings of bbs reaching the intended target. Stable and more precise in hitting the target. 2) Gearbox's bushings : replace those plastic bushings with steel or steel oiless bushings. Importance of steel bushings: Stable and solid foundation for your gears. Less risk of getting your gears get stripped("bungi"). 3) Spring guide: replace it with steel spring guide with bearings. Importance of Steel spring guide with bearings: Stable and solid foundation for your spring. Spring guide receives a lot of pressure from your spring, especially during firing. So it should be replace before it gives up/get broken into half. Once it get broken, the spring will be deformed and sometimes get cut into half. If that happens, there's a big probability of the gears getting stripped(bungi) as well. 4) Spring: after 1-2 months, the stock spring will lost its tensile strength and settle. So the "out-of-the-box" FPS(foot per second)will decrease after 1-2 months of constant use. Hence, it should be replaced with MS100 or 1joule spring to meet the legal fps of 328fps. Importance of changing the stock spring: To maintain the 328-350fps. Higher fps=higher velocity=stable flight of bbs=better chances of hitting the target

For a acm aeg ,i think the spring and the metal bushing are the most important parts to upgrade first. Some of acm aeg has high fps out of the box but the problem is, the tensile strenght will settle rapidly compared to a branded spring. You can still enjoy skirmishing using your stock spring, but if you feel na " dehado" ka sa laban then you can begin upgrading your gun.
