I think im crossed over to CA

After owning 3 TM armalites (733, m4, m16a2) and always been impressed with TM quality and great workmanship. After looking for a new M4 I decided to buy a CA because of the metal body and because I wanted to see how CA stacks up to TM. I got the gun today...

WOW

What the hell have I benn going with TM guns? I mean TM is great but CA seems to be a little better in every way in term of apperance and feel . I was impressed with the high quality metal body, the great feeling handguards, silicone wire troughout, english manual.


The mechbox is inop as of now but im droping in a systema complete mechbox so I guess I wont be putting in CAs internals to the test.


All in all I love my gun so far!

The internals are no where near as bad as people make them out to be....having had 3 CA's....I think it's just an urban myth.

My old gun

Having never owned a tm or anything else (that m15a4 being my first) I thought the quality was amazing and loved the look of the gun. I don't think I could ever go to a plastic armalite body.. the weight and the feel is amazing.

the gun is incredibly solid compared to tm

a G&G is solid compared to a TM lol
you just shouldnt make guns out of plastic

Bought a brand new CA25. Piston head was beyond shit. So bad the gun was barely shooting 50 feet. Replaced it with a laylax piston head and i'm getting awesome range and power. Still need to replace the nozzle and bucking.

Had my CA15A4 over a year now,shot about 15 thousand rounds and there was never a problem with it, and everything are still stock.

The new CA's internals are awsome. I have switched all my guns over to CA. The only problem I do find, is with the CA M15A4, the hop up unit is crap. We took it apart and its missing some parts ( dont know what, our gun doc pointed it out) it was some small spring inside that was missing.

Other than that, I have seen older models and chronoed them at 200fps + and -...


Im still waiting for my M24socom to show up if A&A stops screwing me over. You would think a guy that just bought 2guns in 2 months would get better customer appreciation in instead I get rude emails from him saying he has no idea what I am talking about, until I show him all the proof of purchase.

I was suppose to have the gun in my hands, 4 weeks ago... Sorry ( Highjack ) Im still really f'n pissed off. :banghead:

I forgot to add, with the laylax piston head its shooting 350fps. Gonna bring it higher up of course (as soon i find someone that knows if the internal spring is a normal one or a long one).

200 FPS of give either way? Are you sure? Is that even possible?

Bad piston head, bad hop up/bucking... id say yeah...

[Jughead]

Dont know what their problems were.. I just remember chronoing 2 of them back to back and both shot horrible

1 - 180fps
2-230ish fps

Ah I think he meant they both chrono'd around the 200fps mark and deviated a bit. :P

whats a good hop up to replace the stock yellow CA hopup

TM ain't perfect either....


It's right to say....you just shouldn't make gun's our of plastic..then charge top buck. TM's rep is a little too overrated considering the amount of lemons I've heard from them as well on various internet outlets.
