    Hey i saw recently a nice lookin aeg on airsoft global

    K-Cube EO-2 model SCAR

    Ive never heard of this company before are they any good?

    Here are some specs

    Its quite a bit cheaper than other SCAR replicas (its 120 $ versus about 300$ for others ive seen
    the body is nylon fiber and abs (good?)
    It has 4 rails which i like and uses standard m16 mags whih sounds convenient

    the power is 330 fps and it has a metal gearbox and sights

    Any advice would be awesome thanks!!:)

    the JLS ones are pretty cheap, really low quality in them but id say there pretty usable.,
    the plastics on them are very shiney and the metal looks worn, have a look through "bullets" posts, he put up some pics and a review of it not long ago.,

    hey guys thanks ive read the review that bullets did and it didnt seem all that great.
    so i went and looked at eirsoft and found 4 great lookin guns:

    Double Eagle UMP
    DBoys M4 S-System
    Dboys M4 CQB SD (Metal)
    Jing Gong Heckler & Koch G36C (G608)

    Ive read the reviews and they all seem pretty good this will be my 1st AEG so is there something to watch out for about these.
    And finally is it worth buying the UMP.in real life its meant for CQC so will be outranged by rifles will the same be true do ya think of airsoft?
    Thanks a mil!!

    yeah i hear ya.
    i kinda wanted to save the G36c until i could buy a good quality TM one cos its my favorite gun so i dont want to buy a JG one only then to upgrade later on to exactly the same style.

    I like the UMPs myself, and they'll be as good for rof and range as most AEGs, the quality in the gearbox isnt as good as others though, it uses the version 3 box, the same as the G36c but the JG is higher quality.

    the M4 S-system is a good gun but it needs tightening up every now and then.,

    the CQB is really nice, its pretty compact and feels nice and solid with decent weight to it, there pretty reliable too and easy enough to strip.

    the JG G36c is pretty much the out right favourate though, its more reliable than all of the above, its more compact, (folding stock) and the range and ROF is a bit better than the others too, its really easy to strip and they can take a lot of abuse without every having a hicup.,

    To be honest the JG one is probably better than the TM one, its a lot better than the CA for sure.

    Not great poor quality finish. The top RAS/RIS rails are smaller than standard and anything I tried to mount would either not secure at all or be very loose. Better clones are available e.g. JG G36c JG steyr aug for example.

    the tan one looks very fake though, really shiney cheapo lookin plastic like on my FN200, you'd be better off geting some tan krylon from MIA and painting the one ya have.,
