Solutions.
1.) Buy a smart or fast charger. You shouldn't need more than one batter btw.
2.) Don't buy clone AEGs then, get a KWA or G&G.
3.) Don't tell me that I don't know about alot about airsoft when you don't even know me. You're acting like you're some veteran airsofter because you know how to hook a Co2 tank up to a gun. yeah ur cool no. You're the one who doesn't know too much about airsoft if you don't even know how to use a smart charger or to buy higher quality guns.
If you've had bad problems with gearboxes and you did know alot about airsoft as you seem to be going on about, you'd know that, to preserve a gearbox you just need to change out parts to put less stress on it. Someone's obviously never heard of new shims or a downgraded spring.
1. Like I said, they die at the worst of times. (You get the perfect time to make an ambush, you get ready to fire, pull the trigger and guess what? Nothing happens. You battery died taking pot shots at people way out of your range). Plus, you still have to charge them and they still take quite a bit of time to charge, even with the fast chargers.
2. I have, and frankly, they're pretty expensive. Not to mention that they can still break for the exact same reasons and when they do, you'll be out a lot more money.
3. Did I ever say I was a vet? No. But I've played long enough to know that gas guns don't use gearboxes, you CAN build a custom gun, and CO2 guns are just as easy to use as AEGs.
Plus, I don't really even like airsoft. It's boring after your first 20 games. If you play with lives, either people cheat or stray shots get you out. If you play pain, you end up bleeding everywhere. CTF and such take forever because noone will attack, only defend. The only reason for me to ever get back into airsoft would be if I built my own gun. Heck, even if the gun didn't work, it'd be a fun experience.
Also, if I did end up creating my own gun, I can guarantee you that 4/5 people would not laugh at it, but in turn, respect me for having the skills to be able to create my own instead of buying one like everyone else (Even if it does end up sucking).
Ordering new stuff today :D
This is another thing. People that play airsoft are
constantly ordering new stuff. I have only bought 4 guns in the 6 years I played airsoft.
1. A $3 spring pistol at a flee market.
2. A $15 plastic AEG that lasted for about a year.
3. A $75 (Normally $150) full metal AK-47 from a friend that lasted about a year and a half (The fuse blew, easy fix but I never bothered to find one).
4. A CO2 pistol (Crosman C11). Still fully operational.
Now, don't get me wrong, I wasn't a sissy player (I went up against full metal AEGs quite a lot), I had to be a ninja and sneak behind them. And I was perfectly fine with it. The people with the AEGs were constantly buying new guns to get "better accuracy, more fps, faster rate of fire". They ended up having too many guns and when we quit playing airsoft, they couldn't find enough people to sell them to. They're just a waste of money.
