Just bought my first aeg
 

Well actually I bought a Tokyo marui g36c custom electric blowback. I'm super excited. Tried searching for what people on here thought about it but couldn't find much with the search feature. So any thoughts?
I really want a vfc scar l at some point as well

Far as I know about AEGs, TM is a good brand. Personally, I only use GBB guns, but I'm curious; how's the blowback on the EBBR?

Haven't got it in yet just ordered yesterday and today is a holiday so hopefully next week. From the videos I've seen it looks cool especially on full auto.

One thing to look into with the VFC Scars are their proprietary parts.

I used to own a VFC Scar H, awesome gun externally, however the gun had a proprietary hop up unit and air nozzle.

I'm not sure if the Scar L version is the same, but its worth investigating. If you hit issues with the gun, it might be compounded by trying to source replacement parts.

The scar l version is the same, yes. Very nicely designed though, and really if you're buying an aftermarket hop-up unit you'll be spending the same as a vfc anyways.

Anyways, congrats on your first purchase, and double congrats on that being a high-end rifle! you've saved yourself a lot of time and grief lol.

both vfc scars have proprietary hopup units.

Thanks guys
I've been checking my mail everyday since I ordered it. Should be here Thursday but hopefully a day early

Congrats on your first AEG bro. Welcome to the addiction. And props on getting something of actual quality to start. I wish I had some people to give me more sound advice when I started, would have saved me a lot of money lol.

I haven't had too much experience with TM's but I know their rep and it's a very good one. The biggest thing I've heard is NEVER open them up unless you need to. If you don't apparently they last for fricking ever by some sort of Japanese magic.

I've owned a couple of VFC SCAR-L's myself and they've been nice but they come with their problems (like many an AEG). If you do go for one of those, one upgrade I earnestly recommend is to get a steel butt plate assembly (I think that's what it's called) because the stock ones tend to crack and break. It's actually kind of surprising that it's a problem considering VFC is pretty much tops when it comes to externals.

Hopefully you didn't try to order it from outside Canada?

If the G36 is anything like the TM M4 or 416 EBBs, you'll be pleased - I know I am.

Stock performance will be great, don't recommend upgrading BUT Maruis in Canada often come with springs that are too stiff for the stock internals due to Canada import laws. if this is the case, it really should be changed out for a lighter spring. I don't know if the g36 is the same but the m4/416 series use springs that are shorter than normal AEGs. You can check eagle6 (Google it). A 330-350 FPS spring should be fine on stock internals.

Also recommend converting to deans and using 7.4v lipo. I know a great gun doc in the GTA who's worked on my TMs if you need, send me a PM.

Yeah I ordered from trigger airsoft out of bc. And at first I was going to get a 11.1 lipo but lucky I seen on here that it was overkill so I switched to a 7.4

Trigger maruis come with the stiff spring - something I would get taken care of ASAP.

What kind of spring should I replace it with?
I'm new to this I went on eagle6 website there's a m90, m95, m100 and m110
Which one is the best. I'm thinking this will be my indoor gun and I'm gunna pick up an vfc all metal m4 or vfc scar l for outdoor

If it's going to be indoor I'd say you want a spring that will put you at 330fps or so (my TM M4 shoots 330-340 and works fine for outdoor too). I can't recommend an exact spring, because I don't know if the G36c uses the shorter marui springs that the M4/416s do.

As it's your first AEG, I recommend finding a local gun doc, taking the AEG to them and let them know what you want. You may have some difficulty finding someone who works on TM recoils though... I know I did. Don't recommend you try to swap it by yourself.

But first I would confirm with trigger that the spring has been changed for import - just email and ask. If it's stock then you're fine - the gun will last a long time on stock internals and perform great. If they did change it or they aren't sure, find that gun doc.

Will the lipo battery be fine in the stock gun

TM G36c was my first AEG. I bought it when it came out the first time.
It's a very solid AEG. Once upgraded, it's a machine.
The only drawback is the mags, they are very large and take a lot of space. The rifle itself is large enough, even the C variant is bigger than an M4.

VFC... I don't know, but last time I heard about them, they where unreliable.

A 7.4v lipo yes. 11.1v no.

I've also had a number of VFC guns. Externally beautiful and rock solid, internally decent. Piston and hop-up would probably be the first things to look at upgrading.

Also where can I source a spring for this gun that isn't in the uk. I'd love to order but the exchange rate is brutal lol

If it uses a standard spring size, literally dozens of places here in Canada.

If it's the shorter TM spring that the M4/416s use, eagle6 for a custom one OR a standard one trimmed down - again recommend having a gun doc do this.

There's nothing wrong with 11.1 lipos. It's the same wear and tear on the gun, just in a quicker time period. If you can get away with a 7.4 than all the power to you. I shoot semi only and play big MilSims so trigger response is key and 11.1's give the absolute best. Haven't had a problem with 11.1's the entire time I've used them. Biggest problem I've had is a busted tappet plate on a stock VFC KAC PDW that I ran for 2 years as my primary before running into that problem. But as I said, if you're going to be happy with the response you get from a 7.4 then there's no need to do the step up. Just wanted it known that 11.1's aren't the devil lol.

Agreed 11.1v can be quite good in most setups.

It's way overkill for a stock TM. Trigger response is very snappy on 7.4 and ROF is already quite high (20+).

An 11.1v would strip the gears quick unless you always shot in semi on a stock TM.

Even my fully pimped TM 416 with full Prometheus internals and a Spectre FET only needs 7.4v for amazing performance.

thanks for the help guys

No one mentioned anywhere specific yet but Airsoftparts.ca or Airsoftstore.ca are 2 good ones for "upgrade parts" (well you're really "downgrading" the spring but at the same time you're also prolonging the life of your rifle because slightly less stress and wear on it).

7.4 and 11.1V; there's pages and pages of info on it, personally I use 7.4V because that's what I bought from a long time ago but with a couple minor upgrades I could easily run an 11.1V (you might as well get them done while you downgrade the spring, MOSFET, AOE correction, Sorbo pad, etc. also note to beware of "overspinning" your gears especially if you have a light spring and are running 11.1V).

Finally it's in
