SRC G36C noob friendly?

Expanding on what Styrak said, it actually depends on a few things.

-The battery
-How good the wiring is
-What type of connectors are used (most airsoft guns use tamiya connectors.. these have a SHITLOAD of resistance in them. Most people replace them with Deans or similar).
-How well the mechbox is greased and shimmed

I don't think the type of bearings or bushings really makes a difference.

Nearly every airsoft gun has to cycle fully in semi before getting a shot off, so you'll always have that delay. AFAIK the PSG-1 and L85A1 are the only two airsoft guns that pre-tension the spring, and from what I've been told it's more of a pain in the ass than it's worth. (question to anyone who knows, does the SR-25 do this as well?)

Bearing versus bushing affects Rate of Fire, and thus affects trigger response.

Yup, every gun except those has to wind up before a shot. But with a large cell battery and good connectors, the delay is negligible.

And no the SR25 is a regular AEG firing cycle setup (would have been a good guess though ).

Ok, well thanks for clearing that up..

I've heard SRC's Genn III guns have pretty good wiring and are also very well shimmed.. so I guess with a good battery the response time would be pretty quick. Any one can attest to this (or not)?

[The Saint]

Good battery = better ROF = better trigger response = fact

Always buy a good battery. You don't buy a sports car and run it on sludge, why would you do that for an airsoft gun?

oh.. sorry, I meant the good wiring and good shimming...

Good wiring and good shimming go hand in hand with a good battery, yes. If a gun is shimmed well and has good wiring, it will run smoother and faster with a quicker response time (same thing as rate of fire really)

[GODSPEED|seven]

haha... yes yes yes.. I was asking if someone can confirm if SRC's Gen III AEG's have good wiring and shimming.. lol... my bad.

If not you can change them.

I did my first skirmish last year with my friend's Echo 1 G36C and I found the perfect gun for me. Good balance, compact, light, good ergonomic. I also tried M4, scar-L, AKS74-U and AUG.

So I decide to purchase my first AEG last year and I wanted it brand new. In Canada at this time we didn't have a lot of choice in brand new gun and my choice stopped on SRC and KWA G36 cansoft. After looking on internet on many reviews and web sites, I choosed the KWA over the SRC because of the reputation of both company have and some features. But the SRC gen III is supposed to be a good choice also.

The features I was looking for:

Gearbox ver. 3 pre-upgraded
Lipo ready
Ability to take M4 mags (with an adapter)
Large battery
Good stock accuracy and range
Easy dismounting
Replacement parts easily available
stock fps in 380-395 range

at this time, Only the KWA G36C met my requirements.

Hope this will help you

Thanks for your detailed comment. Out of curiosity, what on that list does SRC fail to achieve?

Unfortunately KWA does not make the G36K, because that is the one I have my eye set on.. but nevertheless, I've read many places they are about the same and its only a matter of personal choice. (KWA does have an oversized front to accomodate larger battery than SRC)..

SRC is failing on battery capacity (small handguard). I installed a silencer and a longer inner barrel for better range and accuracy. Now it's about the same lenght of a G36K. Also I found that the parts are easier to obtain for KWA from their us web site WWW.KWAUSA.COM
SRC is also failing on the ability to take an adapter to use stanag mags because of the non standard hop-up.

LIPO READY IS NOT A FEATURE.

Ya or he could get a new stock such as this http://www.airsoftextreme.com/store/...oducts_id=3437 and have plenty of battery room...AND it'll look way sexier
