G&G haven't done me wrong yet. I've run their .28s for about a year, and more recently their .33s which are fantastic.

Not sure I've ever added to a loadout post, but a decent picture of me in mine has been taken, so I figured I would share.
This was run at Throwdown V, and has been modified here and there since obtaining most of it for Blacksheep @ Grayling year 1.

I just played Throwdown V with 5+1 +1 buddy mag. I don't reload mags on the field generally, so the amount works quite well for me.

Airsoft Locations / Re: Updating the fields list?
« on: May 01, 2018, 06:40:25 PM »
@kjones734 would usually be the one to ask about Matrix if I recall. But for Metro detroit area, there is No Limits/Action Paintball in Taylor that usually has 1 game a month hosted by the Suicide Kings. Details usually on the MIA facebook page.
82nd Airborne should be hosting more games as the season is coming up in Highland.
Futureball and Hells Survivors also cater to airsoft, though I'm not too aware of specific details at those locations.

Tech Questions / G&G ETU red light error
« on: April 18, 2018, 10:10:24 PM »
Since the isn't much easily found info on diagnosing the blinking red light codes on the G&G ETU, I figured I would make a post with my experiences.
So most recently, on a freshly installed ETU which was replacing one burnt in a lipo meltdown, was working fine for me when returned to the owner, but when they plugged everything in to go play, they would plug in w battery, and pull the trigger, and the gun did nothing. The mosfet blinked when the trigger was pulled.
Issue: motor connectors were not securely connected.
Luckily it was a nice easy fix. But other possibilities might include:
-low battery voltage
-sector in wrong position
I am not sure what all other possible reasons it might blink, but as people encounter it, feel free to add to this thread so we can figure things out and have a resource for those looking for answers.

CYMA AKs are probably the most reliable out-of-the-box guns out there. I've worked on probably close to a couple hundred CYMA guns, of many platforms, and I have seen some things I would have never believed could be done, and the gun still function. Full metal, real wood AKs, starting at about $150 new.
Now like I was saying, each brand has their strong suites. Their compression systems between all the more recent platforms, are impeccable. Not long ago, I had to lower the FPS of one, that out of the box(which advertised shooting 361fps) shot almost 460. I had to cut 5 coils off the spring to have it barely legal for the 365 limit where they were playing.
I could go on and on about my positive opinion on CYMA, but like many other brands, they also made LPAEGs, M4 platforms, which while still decent, were slightly weird spec for certain part fitment, and weak-ish gearbox shells.
The trash brands I am familiar with were SRC, Javelin, Double Eagle, just to name a few. And even then, it is really the SRC sportline, that were so cheap and widely bought, which brought upon their unfavorable reputation. Their non M4 models and higher end stuff wasn't as bad, but still not as great as what is available today.

As time goes on, I keep seeing more and more small fields popping up. I have been meaning to get their info, prices, times, etc and make up a binder or collection of info so that it can answer those questions of "what fields are near me". A binder as it would be nice for a physical copy in the store or at a local field. Could probably make copies and send them out to assorted airsoft locations so it can be accessible in person.
But aside from that, I must agree with Luke, things have improved in a big way over the course of time. Companies are innovating and including common upgrades into stock guns they sell. If one company comes out with pre-installed mosfets, a QD spring guide feature and other things, the rest shortly follow.
While Classic Army has been up there as well, innovating and improving, they honestly would be one of the last brands I would pick for most base platforms. (But base platforms should be up to preferred externals in my opinion. Pick a gun you like externally, and it can always be built internally if it lacks the performance you want).
Depending on your budget, I recommend VFC, ICS, G&G, Krytac, KWA, and even CYMA. Each brand has their strong suites in platform selections.
