Starting Airsoft: The Best Starter Gun? - Ep1. What Rifle? & Intro the Upgrade Challenge!

What's up guys, welcome to wasted space and welcome back to the initial

airsoft

series. I'm joined today by a good friend of mine, Sparky, who is a gentler companion and more importantly an

airsoft

technician because we're talking about beginner guns and in this case. We're talking about a beginner gun in particular, this thing here, G&G cm16 raider, which I think we both agree is the

best

starting

platform on a reasonable budget, something you're not going to spend a huge amount of money on. on your first weapon, which is a sensible thing when you don't necessarily know where the sports are for you, so the reason we think they're great is because when you grabbed here, it's a very simple platform, they haven't gone away and done something original or special with it, you have a standard ar-15 slash m16,

what

ever you want to call it, retractable stock platform with the front rail which you don't always get and that's a nice addition and nothing fun or strange with it.

There's nothing there that get in the way of updates. Interferes with the search for parts for the weapon. If there's any complaint to say about this, it's the fact that a lot of this is polymer. In other words, plastic, which may be a bad thing, but it's a very lightweight weapon and to be honest, it withstands the punishment of

what

we've seen so far, so the plan is simple, we're going to take these weapons and we have to do it because there will be a bit of competition here. We thought the

best

way to make sure we're doing that and give you the best advice is to get two of these things and see what both weapons do. because they're not going to be the same from the start, that's not how airsoft works, but we're also not necessarily within our budget and we're talking about a budget of around three hundred pounds, three hundred and fifty dollars, that kind of area.

Do you think it's fair that a

starting

weapon moves these weapons from their original positions to something that's

upgrade

d and hopefully good to play with, but of course we're not both going to occupy the same space? There will be two different angles to this and hopefully, that will be fun to watch but it also means that in the end we really get a definitive answer. Hey, this seems to legitimately be the best way to do things, so if you're up for a little competition, Miguel always. I think our starting point is to take these things out into the field and basically figure out what they are like out of the box, that's an important thing, you know how much you're going to have to do with this as a standard and of course do those things. that's what you should always do when you first get a gun, set up the jump, if you have sights make sure they're on and just make sure the whole gun feeds properly and there are no early issues so if you're ready sir , for the shooting range, so we're at the front, we got a 30 meter barrel and the setup couldn't go any further, but it should give us a good place to come back to as we move forward with these weapons and keep checking how.

Well, how good have our updates really been, and more importantly, how good are these things out of the box? That's what we're doing now that we have a winner as to who picks first. I'm holding on. The fact that this doesn't matter because, hey, he doesn't have x-ray vision, neither do I, so I don't think I can say that's the best weapon, okay, obviously, I mean, just look at it. I get this one, yeah, you get that one because you need all the help you can get, you get the best gun, okay, obviously it's the best gun, you can tell, you know, by taking a good look at it, this one was left on semi and that one was left on safe. , so this is clearly mine, yeah, we've got our AI Pro, we've got our scope, we've got our stupid aim, let's go and see how these things shoot, the box, put some batteries in there, get some rounds through them, see whether they are consistent or not and then see what we can do with some jump adjustments, see if that helps and of course check FPS in the box, are they going to be the same?

I doubt it, really, come on. he, let's try it, hey, compare the two, just the sounds of these, so now complete yours. You get a different noise, so both guns do something when we pull the trigger, that's good, but the next step with any new gun is to check and then set up what went down, one went there, one went there. , was so consistent with what we're talking about here, that it's pretty obvious that there's something wrong with Sparky's gun at this point, even though it's new. box, so when you are faced with this other thing, especially when it comes to the bbs not firing cleanly, it is helpful to quickly check the chargers, the battery and even the bbs that you are using, because sometimes this can cause problems , just check that everything is placed correctly and In fact, in the positions we should take a quick look at your jump and your charger, which can be done visually, but there are two of us, as mentioned at the beginning, on the same platform, so So we do the obvious: we change our magazines and let's see if that helps because mine seems to work fine in my gun.

We also tried swapping hot batteries for the same reason and finally even tried using the ammo that came in the box just to see if there are any inconsistencies with the set we are in. Unfortunately, all of this is of little use, we can't figure out what's going on, so instead of just jumping in and taking a look at the weapon right away, the first step is to chrono test the weapons, especially mine. okay and then watch to laugh a little how they make more than ten shots on the field because in the end this is a competition and you chose that one that is very painful, so ten shots towards the target towards the target towards the target in the general direction , so you don't plan on hitting the target, this glitch, well this will put it on the set, hey, text me now that it's not bad, oh no, only half of it feeds and most of it falls to the ground about 10 feet from distance. 15 a few feet away, can we swap that?

No, no, this is mine. It feels like you're focusing only on the genitals, but that's not the case. Okay, in his brain, oh, and that's unfortunate, what's your opinion? Kitty, not impressed, good shot, not impressed, clearly not that good, so it was interesting, yeah. when it's good, I put the best one on for sure, but I ruined my hair a little. I would say that I am winning with winning potential or that I potentially have my weapon has much more potential than yours. Bobbo has room to improve, yeah, I didn't know that was the case. a credit we were using oh no no no I don't think you win the competition with potential how many shots did you make in the zone? remember?

I do not remember. I think a lot of mine ended up going over target because my views aren't even close to being alive, that's something I could do before Nate's game day, in fact you have a lot to do before we get to the game day with this and I have quite a bit to do, yeah. I need to find out what is causing this problem. Any ideas, it could be that the jump rubber has a tear or something that lets air fly out where it shouldn't like its air seal, yes it could, I mean it could be. the jump rubber is just not placed correctly, I wish you knew that it can be removed and put back on, that would be the best case scenario mm-hmm.

I think the worst case scenario is that there is something on the gearbox piston or something to do with the air nozzle, maybe something where they actually have to open the thing up. I mean, there's the argument, of course, that we just took these things out of the boxes, we tested them for you, you could probably take them back to go to the store and say "hey, this doesn't work, but it's not always a option," so I think we're going to approach this from the angle of "no, we can't replace them and replace them, we can't just take Sparky's gun." come back and leave, well this is nonsense, he will have to deal with it, that was always part of the competition side and of course in this case he chose the wrong thing, I mean work well, yes he was right, so now I win for two reasons.

Yeah, yeah, unless you count the competition itself right, yeah, I mean you know there's competition and then there's competition in a broader sense, well, one thing's for sure, this is not very good advertising, yeah, in general, I mean, this is the reason. The series is thick, so you might think, but why don't you show us the garden, tell us about it, and end it well. That's what a lot of unboxings do and unboxings that I always do because we get a lot of negative reviews. and they're more like unboxings, you can't really see these things, you can't see what happens two weeks later when they finally discover that actually that weapon has a deep, intrinsic problem, yes, and how to fix it, yes.

You mean you don't see the whole story? I think rather than trying to sell these guns, we're trying to prepare you a little bit for airsoft and if the rigors that go into it, yeah, it's about giving the best advice for your

starter

gun and some of that advice, unfortunately, will probably come out. in the Bott Rope years. Hell, there will be some problems with it and don't think you can escape that by buying a more expensive gun. You know it's not like you can. go and spend a whole £300 budget, maybe with this it's something we can try in the end, you know, get a £300 gun, maybe if we just borrow one from a shop or something and say, okay , this is what you could have bought again. right out of the box and see how that compares to what we've built because none of the airsoft guns seem to be built reliably so you're always going through this kind of stuff, but I mean the good thing It's just that it's not beyond the capabilities of fixing them yourself, nor are they too expensive.

I know, okay, kind of like thinking that in theory you should have your fingers crossed, I don't, yeah, I'll be fine, on that basis I guess, how are we going to do it? finish this, I think you need to figure it out because we can't just finish it on game day footage, you need to figure out what's up with that thing before we can go play with what would normally be the next step and try them in the box on game day. game, put them through the game day DVDs and see what it's like, and I think mine will do fine, yes it's reasonably consistent, fully automatic performance is fine too, yes powers. pretty good apart from I need to chronicle a bit more we had one that was over 350 which would make it not legal to use any site in the UK so I would have to look and check there is no power strange.

I don't know what it would be, it seems like there's a lot of fluctuation but not enough to affect the accuracy and behavior of the gun so I'm pretty sorted on that front and you might be someone who gets lucky and gets the gun that's pretty good out out of the box, but that doesn't mean the mines won't break on their own when we take it out, you say, so let's take a look at your gun and see if we can figure it out. quick yeah, let's look at McQueen, you couldn't figure it out, but look if he could figure out quickly what the hell is going on.

It's new G&G cm16 hmm £520 well worn, come on then.
