Are you seriously going to ask that for every gun someone puts down?

The Top M60 in stock form is poo. Yea they work sometimes for alittle bit, but once the bellows system fails they cost a lot of money to fix up, either going with another Bellows system an upgraded ANGS or modding it to fit a ver.3 box.

Plus the BB feed system is a pain in the butt.

Spring Mauser Broomhandle....spring that kept the safety under tension popped out the 3rd day of owning it. Good thing I'm modding it into a costume gun.... :)
Its not how many shots it takes to drop someone, its how accurately you shoot them.

WE Baby High-Capa. I had an extended magazine and the stock magazine. After about 200 rounds, I put a fresh mag (stock) into the gun. It fired twice without me pulling the trigger, and then the mag started pushing gas into the gun, which came out the barrel. By the time I ejected the mag, it was empty. To this day I don't know where those bb's went.

The only guns i have purchased or traded for are cheap clones, all of them have been great, put many rounds through them (CYMA.028- 100,000+Rounds, eats High caps and Lipos, never broken a gear or piston, never tuned or opened gear box).

NO regrets yet, if i buy a gun that is more than 300 and it craps out i will kick my self for not buying a clone.

Both mags broke within a week, and pretty the whole gun killed itself. Complete wasted of $120.


I hear such conflicting info on WEs.. Personally, I dont have any strong regrets in this area... (Although ACUs for my loadout was probably a bad choice of $90, that makes me sad..)

WE GBB M-4. Picked it up as a training tool shortly after they came out.

I had a magazine cook off in my car like a grenade. Three more magazines developed leaks in a matter of days. The charging handle quit. Like, into multiple pieces. And who knows what else is wrong internally, but the velocity has been wonky since day one, with huge fluctuations from shot to shot. It's been living up on my wall as a reminder to avoid dicking around with crappy products from a company with piss-poor quality control and even worse customer service.

The WE customer service asshats pissed me off so much that I damn near handed it off to a local news station so they could see if it could be converted to a real gun. Only thing that stopped me was that it was AONW that got their product ganked by customs, and I actually really like doing business with them. Had it been anyone else, I'd have probably done it already.

I regret selling my CYMA AK.
Didn't seem to be a particularly great gun, but people seemed to die in front of it like magic.

Poor guns I've owned.
Franken AK (Was used and in terrible condition. Wire connections to motor were backwards, shimmed to tight, and more I'm sure.)
Star SL-9 (Disintegrated internally)
CA G3 (Beautiful gun, but shot like sh*t)

On the one hand, I'd feel bad selling something that I personally distrust to somebody else.

On the other hand, with a little bit of work, someone else might really like having it.

I'm totally conflicted. If you really want it, drop me a PM. I'll be happy to run down a list of what is wrong with it, and if you are still interested after hearing aobut the problems I've had with it, we can work on a price that is fair and reasonable. If not, no worries.

My biggest regret?

...Airsoft.

Now I have a closet of fake guns and other stuff. It goes well with the closet of paintball stuff and the shop full of hunting gear, though.

I've never had regrets about any of my airsoft guns. Yes, they've all broke, but I did my research and bought what I wanted every time. I still own every gun I've bought and still use all of them.

Too heavy for my holster so I couldn't use it, and it doesn't shoot two BBs without running out of gas in the cold.


Get a holster meant for the weight of a real gun and find me a gas gun that will operate the way you want in the cold and I'll bake you a batch of cookies.


By cold, I mean below 60. And two of my teamates have Socom Gear M9s, and they shoot perfectly in the cold.

Also, I don't really want to spend over $100 for a holster.....
...You don't have to. Here are some cheap holsters that will hold just about anything you cram in them:
