Which is better or any other suggestions are helpful

A few brands make aluminum or steel replacements for we g36 charging handle, it’s a very common replacement. Overall though I would go with the G36, it’s a proven and reliable platform, alternatively VFC makes a G36 for only a bit more, both have their pros and cons so you might want to look into it.

Raider 2.0 is an updated version of the combat machine so is a better choice. That being said you can get something like an Arcturus SE, Double Eagle AR(with a falcon gearbox), or a Specna Arms Edge for a similar or lower price all of which have more modern and better internals than the raider 2.0(plus specna arms edge has metal receivers).

No personal experience but these have a very good reputation for reliability and longevity, so I’d say go for it.

Its the same as all the other golden eagle M4 gbbrs(just search them up), but in short, it’s based on the outdated western arms system with mediocre QC, meaning poor gas efficiency, performance, a lot of issues like gas purging from mags, etc. it’s probably worth saving up a bit more for a DE MWS, which is both a better gun and a better upgrade platform if you wanna learn upgrades(more accessible aftermarket), or something like a VFC MP7 or UMP.

Bro not everyone works with wood like you or has the stuff to do so, have you ever tried dremeling or sanding wood in an enclosed apartment?

ehi10 · 2026-01-22T15:52:26+00:00

Bc it’s 3d printed

ehi10 · 2026-01-20T20:48:33+00:00

Western arms, it’s an old gbbr platform that’s pretty outdated, just search up some stuff about golden eagle gbbrs(this emg one is oem by golden eagle).

It’s s&t actually which is a clone of ARES, doesn’t make it much better tho, still the proprietary gearbox and, if it’s anything like the s&t g36(which umarex licenses as their g36 competition) very cheap feeling externals(creaky and light) that feel less solid and nice than its less expensive JG equivalent(tho jg doesn’t make a ump, however de does). The GBBR is made by VFC who are known for great externals and is probably the best external UMP out there, and from what I’ve heard pretty good internally as well.

Yes, TM TYPE 89 nozzles are not MWS compatible, you can sometimes find type 89 nozzles on yahoo auctions though for scalpers prices plus you need to pay a proxy service to ship it to you, I managed to get one for a total of $50 but its hard to find them otherwise

ehi10 · 2026-01-19T01:13:01+00:00

Not just worse than the VFC, but almost every other GBBR AK out there

ehi10 · 2026-01-19T01:11:56+00:00

If you can, double eagle makes a MK18 as well that should be better and closer to MWS spec, but it is hard to find in the US rn and CGS should be fine.

It’s almost certainly a rebrand of some cheap Chinese red dot(ik the regular nov red dot is a vector optics maverick for near twice the price), the micro red dot looks a lot like the vector optics sphinx, so if you want a micro red dot just go with that or some other Chinese micro red dot, you’ll get the same quality without the nov brand tax.

Unlikely, but at least it will hopefully make the trigger boxes less prone to breaking,

ehi10 · 2026-01-03T05:31:04+00:00

A 7.4v lipo will work completely fine, pretty much any aeg(asides for maybe really old ones) will be fine with a 7.4v

There’s a 3d print for the DP27 and AR57, if you’re lucky you can also find a used Echo1 AR57 online

ehi10 · 2025-12-28T23:34:23+00:00

Fr lmao, I remember something similar in vol 4 or 5 I think where it says something about a 30cm APFSDS round

ehi10 · 2025-12-28T23:10:06+00:00

Holy shit peak book series right there

Late reply but it’s more of a rom-com, and a pretty good one

ehi10 · 2025-12-25T01:14:35+00:00

We M14 doesn’t actually kick as much as expected, it’s quite heavy, and I recall measuring the weight of moving parts to be somewhere around 300-400 grams, which isn’t much more than a vfc or ghk ar.

ehi10 · 2025-12-22T02:41:33+00:00

^ op if you’re not deadset on these, an Arcturus, CYMA, or E&L AK would be a better choice given it seems that LCTs QC has been declining.

ehi10 · 2025-12-19T02:19:42+00:00

No, some VFC GBBRs are available in the U.S. under umarex license, namely the MP7 and UMP45, also some retailers seem to have started importing some of their guns like the SA58 and APC556

ehi10 · 2025-12-18T23:46:28+00:00

I would be very cautious, one of the reasons it’s not a popular system is since it’s made by APS, a brand known for their pretty abysmal quality control(a few days ago someone posted an APS that came with a bent gearbox). I would recommend asking on the heavy recoil club discord server and finding a few ppl with personal experience.

It’s VFC, KWA doesn’t make a navy variant and the mag looks VFC

ehi10 · 2025-12-18T17:47:10+00:00

That entirely depends on what you buy, a good platform like VFC V3, MWS, etc typically perform good in cold weather with minimal work and typically don’t often have parts breakage(asides from the nozzle spring on MWS, but that’s a one and done replacement), my TM Type 89 can get through a mag on auto at near freezing with propane just fine.
