I love how you get butthurt over a positive suggestion.

What exactly is wrong with giving the person a BETTER OPTION? You make it sound like doing so is the work of the devil, it really isn't.

Just because a gun is cheap and happens to work to an extent doesn't mean it outdoes everything else out there on the market. If krakens were so damn revolutionary as you seem to make them, why are people still using reputable brand name guns over the kraken? Why are they paying up to 600 dollars up to a thousand for these guns?

Because they are not a POS. Upgrading them can be done more EASILY on them than on a kraken for the sake of fitment. (China clone guns generally have bad tolerance issues.) and could render an expensive investment in parts to be useless. When parts fit in properly the moment you put them in a stock shell? Well, it generally works well and there won't be any issues if done properly.

Krakens are alright for a beginner, but like i've said, there is nothing wrong with asserting a 'better option' out there. If we seem like douchebags for doing so, our intentions are good because we have experiences with this and dont want a new player buying shit and getting all butthurt over the fact of it breaking down later on.

Edit : I'm just going to add this because its bothering the fuck out of me.

When people ask for advice, we give them advice. We have no reason to hate on crapsoft other than the fact, from a communities experience, that its crap. If the person behind the gun knows exactly what to do in the case that a gun fucks up, the investment on the gun is worth it, its not an issue for them to repair.

But when it comes to players that are new, have no clue what they're doing, and probably the least likely to assert themselves to send the gun off to get repaired by a local guntech. (Instead they go online and join the crowd of hate on the damn things) its just not worth the money put down. Like amos had stated above, the guns don't have much resale value so people that buy them usually have shit for luck. People get age verified to buy quality.

That said. If a person gives advice, we give them an honest answer, and suggest something more worthwhile. Too many people get riled up over simple shit like "Oh, thats not within my answer boundaries. Time to bitch."

Just from personal experience, I was the type that thought "Cheap is good enough.", but after a while of buying the stuff and not be satisfied with it, i simply vowed not to buy crap again and spend my money on stuff worthwhile. I've cleared most of the crap from my collection and take the time to save up and buy stuff that have a positive knowledge base behind and tons of support. People like myself buy the expensive shit for a reason.

It works great out of the box. (I'm not sure if you've actually bothered to use anything of worth beyond a kraken.)

Its truly compatable with aftermarket parts. (100% TM compatable isn't exactly the case with krakens. Go look through the huge Kraken thread we have here. Over time parts have been changing and 'loosing' compatability.)

It lasts. (Then again, things do break, but in the case of quality guns, its less likely. I've known, and many others have known that TM guns have run for years, many years without issues. I dont think i've heard of a clone thats made it past 3 or more of consistant use.)
