Google is your best friend for reviews.

Also, buying from that source is akin to sending a naked 12 year old to a NAMBLA convention...

G&G is a fraud
They are a prime example that product quality has nothing to do with making money, and they publish open faced lies on their catalogue, like "every G&G gun works in -40°c"
They make their guns out of weak magnesium alloys that rust easily.
Consider them as a chinese repro company.

Just how "easily" can magnesium rust, when only iron can rust?

I've got a G&G GR16A3. It works just fine.

You may want to first consider, that you can't buy one of these until your age verified.

okay, but i'm thinking of buying it from mopic and send them my info like drivers lisence etc. Could they then vouch for me and i can get age verified here?

The Saint September 24th, 2008 18:59

No.

The geek in me requires me to point out that while only iron 'rusts', most metals will oxidize, and rust is iron oxide,...

Also, the other poster is maybe confusing Magnesium with Manganese? Magnesium will tarnish very quickly (basically instantly on exposure to air) but keeps the process from converting the whole block of magnesium by the means of Self Galvanization. The thin layer of magnesium oxide keeps the rest of it from reacting with air, and is somewhat resistant to rubbing off. Manganese however will act somewhat similarly, but is far more prone to flaking off from what I remember.

damn oh well then

I think aluminum does the same thing. Yes No?

Aluminum does in fact do the same thing. The top layer will oxidize and prevent the rest of the material from coming into contact with the air.

Why the hell do you guys keep picking on the North American Marlon Brando Look Alikes? :P


ooooh THAT NAMBLA....

G&G can be hit or miss on their quality control, the only thing I had to do to mine when I bought one was put a new hop up unit into it. I ended up putting a SystemA one piece metal hop up and the gun worked awesome. But everytime I took the gun apart I would wince at all the rough edges to the mechbox and G&G internals, there were burs everywhere. There were a couple air seal issues because of these rough edges primarly around the cylinder head that the only way I could solve was silicone that I would have to cut out when ever I had to open the mechbox but I did get more consistent shots and better FPS because of it so that made the extra work worth it.

If its a first gun buy, I'd say stick with a TM, the gun will 9 times of 10 work with NO fuss straight out of the box. There are more parts avail so that in the future if you want to upgrade you can if you so choose, the turn off to most people going this route is the cost, but you're paying for quality in the grand scheme of things and that should make it worth the extra pennies.
