Review: WE Glock 18C Gen4 (TA Custom)

[Shrapnel[Op-For]]

This is a note for anyone looking to buy a WE g18c. While the guns aesthetic is of decent quality for the price and the gun itself shoots very nicely, the loading nozzle WILL break. Every airsoft forum I have read it's the same issue, loading nozzle breaks after a very short period. Mine broke after one magazine. Not only is this an issue, there is currently no solution out there to replace these nozzles, the only replacement is another nozzle of the same kind made by WE which will break again and again. I highly advise against purchasing this GBB until there is a good nozzle replacement on the market. Just my 2 cents.

After a bit of searching I came across this: WE G18C Broken Loading Nozzle Replacement Theory? (HD) - YouTube

He uses uses an AIP G17 nozzle in his WE 18c, after slightly modifying the nozzle, and (I believe) using a stock piston head and o ring.

He has a couple videos that you could look through for ideas/ solutions to the WE loading nozzle/return spring problem.

there problem solved atleast I hope it will, WE cloned TM and this ones for TM so it should work.

There is a whole thread about broken guarder glock nozzles. It's more like problem solved for 2 shots.

^ Yeah, that and the fact that TM nozzles apparently don't fit the WE BBU because of the sizing.

I've already seen that video, it seems to work as I have been in contact with the guy who made those videos. However, it's still ridiculous how much effort these pistols need to properly function and stay reliable, hence my original post suggesting potential buyers pick something more reliable. Since cutting down my guide rod to a length shorter then the return spring full compressed, the nozzle has yet to break. I have no idea how long the rest of the parts will last but I have a feeling something else will break soon. You really do get what you pay for with the gun, the purchase price is quite low for a full metal pistol.

I have ordered an a plus rubber and tightbore in an attempt to remedy the awful accuracy and inconsistent shooting. I will update once I receive the parts and install them.

So upon trying to instal the a plus rubber and tightbore both screws on the hop up unit have stripped like they were made of butter. Anyone know where I can get a new hop up unit or another brands unit that would fit?

Damn I own two HK3P G18C and so far I've been dry firing it like crazy and its working fine.

Has a great kick on both full auto and semi.

I hope nothing starts happening to mine

btw how is the accuracy on these Glocks? I don't have a field to shoot them at so its just plinking in the basement for me so far.

Nice glock! But yes the silencer makes the gun pretty much inoperable

2 questions, and guys please excuse my ignorance, as I am totally new to this. First, what is the difference between an airsoft gun and a regular airgun? Second, anyone know a reliable dealer in Canada where I can purchase one of these?
Thanks

Airgun fires metal BBs or pelets airsoft shoots 6mm plastic BBs we use em for militsry simulation games they are safe for shooting at other participants in the game (with proper eye protection)
Unfortuneately we cant disclose where to buy airsoft guns to you because your not age verified sry.
