With what SF sells, I think it makes Aqua's and Droc's Top 10 Places to Shop.

lol, isnt that where you get all your dildos to fire at noobs w/ your m203 aqua?

[krazie Sj]

Shit, I thought San Fransico went out of buisness!

[Aquamarine]

So just how shitty are these items?

Let's see... the magazine on the M4 enjoys falling out. Isn't that cute?

Oh yea, forgot the main reason Im posting....


Here's the pistol in box form. As you can see, FILTHY cheap.


Somehow I don't trust that 'MSRP'


And here she is, yet again.


A bit better of a shot


HOLY SHITTY QUALITY BATMAN!


At least there's one redeeming feature... I needed an emergency light for my car.


And onto the big guns... sorta.


In the box..
-10 bb's
-magazine
-collapsable stock (which doesn't stay 'out' very well)
-Laser (with dead batteries)
-PEQ (with 2 blue LED's)
-Foregrip (actually can be used on normal rails!)
-'goggles' (ha!)
-2 Chinese branded AA batteries which exploded shortly after I put them into the PEQ... seriously, not to sound racist but what the FUCK is up with shitty Chinese products these days????
-screwdriver & screws (to affix the laser sight & PEQ onto the rails)




Yay.


All of the accessories - oh, forgot to list the sling.


Super high quality... when there's a lightning bolt going through '555'... you know it's good!



In all it's glory... well... whatever Glory there is.





So there you have it.
Top quality shit at rock bottom prices.

There's a SF store in the mall here in Freddy Beach... I'm gonna pop in tomorrow to see if they have any of these beasts.

Aqua, I saw that EXACT same pistol in England at every 'sporting goods' store I could find, they sold for about £5. (about $10 Canadian). I didn't buy one (for obvious reasons), but they were everywhere.

Most stores around Newcastle (UK) were telling me that they were having trouble importing the guns into England lately, so all the "top name" brands were rare and hard to find. They had a lot of CYMA and WELL AEGs though, even a few KJW pistols, almost everything was under £25; the AEGs, the GBBs... most springers were less than £8.

It was sooooo hard not to go crazy and buy it all. lol.

hopefully this will end all of the WELL guns discussions/questions that pop up on this board

[Kid]

That IS a Crosman. I own one, and it IS the EXACT same, except it doesn't have a lazer but a CRAP RDS. Other than that and the box, it's the EXACT same.

Either Crosman is rebranding WELL, likely the Crosman AEG is a WELL too.

Or, they are both rebranding Chinese crap from some unknown company.

[Moderate]

It looks like something you would find in a Dollar store. Does that writing at the top of the pistol's box say "The best for 5 and up" ? or is it an 8? :P

[CalvinTat]

The pistol reminds me of the stuff that Canadian Airsoft has for sale on their site. I'm going to swing by the SF tomorrow and see if they happen to have this junk their, so I can laugh at the 'guns' (if you can even call it that) and buy the M-16 and use it as a club when I play.

[Greylocks]

I got one of their M4 copies, just for shits. And it IS crap. But I had to see how crappy they were just to prove that all the newbies who think it's good are deluding themselves.

It claims an adjustable hopup even. I'll be damned if I can find an adjustment system.

The batteries, all 4, were toast.

The laser is a good 3 feet off point of aim, no matter what you do.

The RIS grip is loose.

Almost everything is cheap plastic, with molding errors everywhere.

If anyone brings those to a game, I hope you guys line up to laugh.

[Combine]

Hahah Sigma pistol... wow those look cheap.

I really love the "Haute Qualite Billes", Billes hahah that means marbles...sigh but who am I to complain, id prolly be happy to get my hands on one of those (which I won't).

EDIT
Good job with the pictures though

To us? Yes. To kids and anyone who's unaware of the existence of good airsoft, it's the coolest thing EVER.

Aqua,
Thanks for the pics, hell looks like an interesting wall hanger to me! How much was the M4 (hard to make out the price tag). Did they have anything else?

Cheers,
Alex

[dontask]

my batteries of the laser also exploded after a bit of use
but the best thing i found with these spring pistols is that the slide exposes the bb when pulled back like in gbb's
thats a lot cooler than the kwc ones which doesn't even have an opening

[Greylocks]

ancorp, the M4 is about $45 at the Ottawa store.
