HK416 ASCU Upgraded - GFC Guns |
VI - Conclusion : |
||||
You can get this replica for around 250€. That's with the ASCU pre-installed. If you don't want the ASCU, it's around 190€
But honestly, once you've tested out an ASCU upgraded replica, you will not want to go back to something classic. Now the only thing left to do might be to install a better hop up rubber and a 6.03 barrel. But for now it's perfectly playable. Below, you will find the classic PRO/CONS, because even if this replica is good, there are somethings that could be better. PROs : - Full metal. - Excellent externals. - Very good internals. - ASCU upgraded ! Longer battery life, safer gearbox operation, better reactivity, you need one. Oh and did I mention the 3 round burst mode ? You will LOVE it. - QD ready ! - Price (good luck finding this kind of replica cheaper - or installing the ASCU yourself). CONs : - Large type battery with tamiya LARGE connector...really ? Who uses that nowadays ? To me that's a bad design decision. I can always change it by myself, but come on...LARGE Tamiya ? That means I can't switch to my backup 8.4v 1500mah FIREFOX battery if need be (and believe me, when shooting bursts, the need comes quickly). I guess they used a large type battery so it fits nicely into the stock and doesn't move around. Well my AK battery is a large one, and with tamiya mini...oh well, will have to get an adapter. - The ASCU could have used a little velcro patch to stay in place and not move around when you run. Plus it would have helped to get it out of the way when installing the battery (took me a while to figure out how to install it properly). - Quick detach swivel. You can install one in, but you have to pay for it Some simple remarks : - 300 rounds is not much when firing 3 bbs at a time. So be sure to get an extra mag because once you start firing, you will not be able to stop :-) Bursts are that great - And talking about magazines, be sure to buy mags from Jing-Gong. We had troubles fitting Dboys in, they just wouldn't clip in place. - 6.04mm barrel - A 6.03mm will be the nail in the coffin for every other replica. Get one as soon as you can. - and of course go get a new hop up rubber, so you can get the most out of this replica. Rubbers are cheap but will give you the extra range over your "ex-friends", who know hate you because you have the best replica out on the field. My advice ? Buy one. If you are into nice looking replicas that shoots hard and straight, you can't be wrong getting one. But to make it a great replica, you will need some knowledge like changing a barrel, a hop rubber and so on. No big deal, it's very simple, don't be afraid to try. Take care, and see you soon for another review ! |
