JOC?

I've also heard that Ken at 007 airsoft overprices his stuff, I would like to know if this is true because he lives like 5 mins from my house and it would be nice to deal with him...

think ken will match any other price, so might as well deal with him if its that close. just have to have proof of a cheaper price listed somewhere else.

pfft
ASCA hojo prices so good, you love him long time

Im going to checkout kens site and see if it says anything about matching other prices... ASCA lists its CA 36 for $550, Ken lists his CA 36 and CA 36K at $640... $80 difference. I wouldn't have to pay shipping or get "age verified" with Ken though...

EDIT/UPDATE:

A: Yes, all you have to do is mention where you found a cheaper price and prove that they can indeed provide you that item for that price. 007 will try our best to match or even beat Canadian online retailer prices.

Im in luck

Really. No age verification. Oh do tell. I was unaware he was ignoring the LAW!

dude, wait until you're 18. or get age verified. that way u have more time to research, play some games, hey and even save up more money so u can get get some gear for whatever gun u get. Guys here r bug on age verification, just hold your horses and be patient. it'll all work out in the long run

He can sell to my parents, the law does not require anyone to be "age verified" exept for the person buying the airsoft gun, that would be my parents, it will be technicaly in there name, but ill pay them back and then they'll give it to me... simple. Its not illigal either, since I have my firearms licence im allowed to use a parents firearm, same deal.

being 18 is a requirment to buy a gun, not play the sport. IF your parent are comfotable buying you a gun, cool. but you have to prove yourself at local games (being certian local games allow under age players!) that your compitent or haveing said gun bought for you is a waste of your time. i dont think i need to re-iterate the field age laws. being under age forces you to walk the line and as youve seen here people will write you off before you have a chance to prove yourself so be prepared to put up with that. getting mad about it will only justify their judgment.

as for your question both are really good guns. the tm is more customizable and you can (and should) get the large battery forgrip, but doesnt offer anything over the other brand (and has a sub-par body plastic quality)
the ca is newer with more advancments in design, has the carry handle integrated scope wich is a pro or con depending on what you like. has a nicer quality body.
from those 2 id still say the tm, but i would recommend the star g36 over any of them, ive seen all three and feel the star is much nicer over all. is has exceptional body, (true to spec scale) and most recent design.

Alright, thanks for the info guys, I made this with pics from the CA site, the guns are pretty well to scale with eachother, just a visual referance to show anyone else thats interested, the stocks are lined up so that you can view length:


should I add weapon specs to each weapon as well (barrel length, ect)?

If you plan to go with a Star though, there are reports of internals that tend to short themselves out really quick, so it would be good if you know your way around a gearbox.

I mean, gearboxes aren't hard to fix, but just keep in mind that you may need to spend a bit more than you would expect.

Personally, I would take the CA. Just because I like the reinforced internals and the fiberglassish body. It has so much more than ABS.

Alright, I think im going to go for the CA G36K version, it seems like a good starter gun since its a "in between" outdoor and indoor gun, not so compact that its inaccurate outside, but not so big that its hard to manuver during a quick head to head hallway fight... seems good for me

and heres a version of the compare image with stats:

[swatt13]

oh ya, thats right thanks kid. thats a good point, there are some bugs but not every gun is affected, the couple ive seen have reported no problems, then there was ?grim? whose didnt even make it through a mag lol.

[Cortex]

Well, Ken at 007 Airsoft does gun repairs as well, and I can contact him easily, so if my gun ever breaks, and can just call him up

[bloodkoala]

od point to make, the full length g36 weighs less than the g36k? I'm not sure this is true, I cant see how it can be. And to answer the guys original pointwhich few of you have actually done)

If i was you I would go with a g36k(even if it does weigh more) it has a long enough barrel to compete at longer ranges, and is small enough to be used in cqb(with stock folded)

[Cortex]

I took the specs from the Classic Army website, in not sure as to there accuracy... though im fairly sure they would know there own product specs...

[Roguer]

if u do decide to get the G36K, if u end up not likiing the carrying handle/sight. remove it and get a G36C rail conversion kit(u can get those right? im sure ive seen them around) and u can mount ur own sights, and keep it low profile
