Classic Army

cdn-mfg-AirsoftAssault.com · May 2nd, 2009, 14:40

I am unaware of the Classic Army brand but have owned Tokyo Marui, ICS, G&P, Jing Gong and G&G. All are very good brands but you don't jump into a product with no knowledge of it so there is no harm and asking. Local people I have met have said that there are some miner problems with the line but you all say there good so I will give it a chance and for the M15A1 and see where it goes!

amos, he doesnt need to have full knowledge of everything airsoft related to sell guns, and hes new here anyways,

Haven't had issues here either. I've put a ridiculous amount of rounds through mine without wiring issues and have only recently replaced the piston. The rest is stock.

Of course, full knowledge must have to selling airsoft gun or related product. Let me give you an example, PM Jugglez and ask him about his product and let see if he could answer your question or not. I doubt Yes. He knows his product well, That's why he is still up until now or PM Illusion as well about his hi-capa, wait and see reply from him. He won't just simply say NO, I don't know.

That's the point I'm making... If you don't have an extensive knowledge of airsoft... Getting into selling them isn't the best idea... Trust me when I say people have questions and damn near DEMAND answers from you.

Not to mention you should be doing some research of your own, not just asking the opinions of us.

... Asking the opinions of your potential market is perfectly fine... That's what a good retailer SHOULD do.

But... going "Is ___ good? I dunno" isn't very reassuring. I've always held the ideas that people that get into the airsoft buisness that love the sport will do very well... as opposed to those that just get into it for money. It shows in how you carry yourself.

That's part of what I meant as well.

I have owned Jg, TM, G&G and ICS. Now people I know people around here that own the Classic army AK and had to get it rewired, I have only held 1 Classic Army in my lifetime and it was the AK. The battery would not connect, Mech-box would work off and on. Now I'm looking to buy a Classic Army for my own us and I just want the opinions of thous with more experience then me in the Classic Army brand. Yes I have done some research myself but It is all a matter of opinion with what I find not everyone likes the same thing!
Plus all the Classic Army guns I find when researching are not the Canada legal ones.

None of them are "Canada legal", if by that you mean clear lower.

Someone really needs to clear up that insane term. I got a barrage of questions from new players at one of the last games, and some of the myths they told me were just crazy.

cdn-mfg-AirsoftAssault.com · May 3rd, 2009, 13:29

Yes I can get one with the clear lower.

Crunchmeister · May 3rd, 2009, 13:34

If you can get the clear lower, then it's not the standard CA line. That's the Sportsline, which is more comparable to Jing Gong in terms of quality than standard CA stuff.

cdn-mfg-AirsoftAssault.com · May 3rd, 2009, 13:38

I had a Jing Gong G3 and loved it so if its kinda like the JG then I have trust in it. Thank you crunch for answering my question and not arguing a point of me being an new retailer.

I respect you for that.

Just remember that the Sportsline are totally different from standard CA designs. CA are indeed one of the best brands out there, but their Sportsline series are their cheap budget guns. Not that they're bad, but like any lower end clone gun, they may need extra work to get into top shape, and will have a greater chance of failiure than a higher end gun. They're hit and miss. You can get a good one that will last tens of thousands of rounds without issue, or you can get one that will blow apart after 100 rounds and will require a bunch of repairs. If you know your way around a mechbox, then that last scenario isn't really much of an issue. If you're going to run it stock, just make sure you have a backup gun available when you game it.
