Working on and upgrading my kraken is one of my hobbies, if you dont want to take your gun apart, or wont, or are too lazy just get a TM and dont worry about upgrading it (unless it decides to break at some point in which youre screwed because you dont want to upgrade or educate yourself about the internals of your own gun)

Um, so because they bought the reliable gun that would work for an entire season of heavy firing with out any issue; we assume such a person would not want to edumacate themselves on the internals of their gun?


The FIRST gun someone should buy entering this sport should be VERY reliable and last them all the while they are investing the rest of their money into gear, ie. mags, batteries, battery charger, mag pouches, radio ((this is a big one that so many people cheap out on)), hydration packs, BOOTS ((I swear I see one more person in sandles, I'm buying an M249 to make them dance the rest the game!)). Of all the guns out there now I'd actually recommend a G26 CA or TM as their first gun, with the magwell conversion kit allows them access to the cheaper easier to get AR mags and mag pouches.

If someone wants to buy a Kraken and basically replace everything on it to make claims of a better than TM gun; cool, just don't call it a Kraken no more cause there's almost nothing left of the Kraken on it! Its kinda like calling a TM AR that has had G&P metal body, G&P reinforced mechbox, G&P internals, G&P one piece outer barrel, G&P RAS installed on it, cause really all thats left TM is the stock and front sight, and maybe the grip but those get changed out too. ((Using a gun build of my own from a long while back as an example)).
