WE Tech SCAR GBB Opinions

Hussar · May 15th, 2011, 05:13

Hello! Ive been looking at getting a new weapon during the summer ( something that kicks harder than my G and G MP4A4 ), and I came upon the WE tech SCAR. It's priced very fairly and from what I have read it is a solid choice.

From what I can gather it shoots 370-400 with Green Gas and 410-450 with Co2. I have also however heard that using Co2 is not advisable as the stock can crack because of the kick. So I will only ( if I choose to purchase it ) be using green gas.

I have handled and stripped one of them last summer and I loved the feeling. I am looking for a GBB to add to my collection. If anyone can recommend any better reasonably priced GBB please tell me. Also I ask and welcome your opinions on the SCAR. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and ( hopefully ) responding.

Hey boys, he post it in General section...FLAMES OKAY! GET HIM!!!

FYI AV will get you more respect, people here have heard so many of these question ask without searching it's disgusting.

There's a thread dedicated to WE AWSS system (I'm suspecting your WE SCAR is AWSS system)

Currently there's two system for WE SCAR
-AWSS System (brass tube)
-Open Chamber (lack of brass tube)

The scar has significantly less recoil than say PDW or M4 IMO by design. If you want bigger kick, go for Open Chamber system as it will give a crisper and stronger kick. Otherwise if you want to biggest kick consider WE M14 or WE G36. Please note lighter the gun, the heavier the recoil by system. another words G36C has higher recoil power than G36 Standard, same with WE EBR w/ shorter barrel compared WE M14

the scar will break even with green gas.

Avoid the SCAR like the plague!!!! It has a fatal defect. Two infact. One which was "fixed" by adding a reinforced hinge buttplate which still sometimes breaks. And the second more important failure is part #27, which is a the actual hinge plate. It is made of crappy pot metal that breaks all the time. This peice is basically the center of the gun which holds it al together. There is no after market replacment for this part either. You have to go on a quest to find a retailer who can obtain one.

Now that being said a user on ASC has been tryng to produce a replacment part for it out of aluminum.

If you are serious about gbbrs I suggest you look else where than the Scar, every single one of them I have sold to a customer has broken. I even had a customer who had a catastrophic failure where both his upper and lower receiver shattered.

WE does an excellant job on gbbrs with the exception of the Scar, which is basically a how to not make a gbbr.

Hope this answers some of your questions.

wow. how did the upper and lower shatter?

Eeyore · May 15th, 2011, 13:28

Because the Scar is a peice of shit???

I think it had something to do with part 27 breaking and the bolt torquing the receivers around.

IRONSIGHT · May 15th, 2011, 13:40

I don't suppose you took any pics? I'd be hard pressed to believe propane or co2 would have enough pressure to blow both those parts to bits. Not to say the SCAR's a top of the line peice but the #27 &#66 (being the weaker/thinner parts) would let go long before the upper, unless it was a bad casting fluke.

Eeyore · May 15th, 2011, 13:42

Not my Scar but someone I sold too. I'll pm and ask if they took any.

George Burdell · May 15th, 2011, 19:30

Are all WE GBBRs like the SCAR or are some decent?

I originally wrote up a big post of about four paragraphs explaining why you should not get a WE for outdoor, and just deleted it. You just won't get it working reliably. Indoor, sure with alittle money... But for outdoor you should get something reliable, it's as simple as that.

There is nothing more reliable than the Real Sword line of products. Practically indestructible. Sure, it's an AEG and the motor has a weird whine sound to it... But the gearbox has heat treated steel gears, and the body itself is comprised of actual gun steel as opposed to pot metal. I could safely use my Real Sword Type 56 as a club to smash all my WE Products, and then take it to a game immediately after without second thoughts. Maybe one day I'll finally go through with it

AngelusNex · May 15th, 2011, 19:58

love all the retards on this site. My Scar has been running great in games since late winter and at least 5000 rounds threw it all on CO2 Mags.

So long as you get one of the later production models (mines one of the 3000's off the line) its fine. The reinforced everything after a certain point.

Simple clear solid point. WE GBBRs are they ONLY GOOD GBBRs out there aside from classic air and escort.

Rugger_can · May 15th, 2011, 20:05

Lulz...

WE makes some good products but they require a higher level of maintenance then any AEG. Expect to be replacing some (relatively inexpensive) parts every few thousand rounds and be sure to keep a rigorous cleaning routine, they are considerably cheaper options to other gbb rifles and they have an interesting product line. I would suggest you try to stick to their newer open bolt design BUT the older design was functional "although required additional attention to detail and some modification/tweeking".

I would not recommend them as a starting point for someone newer to airsofting but if you really want to go ahead with it, that's your call. Though I recommend you get age verified and try buying from the classifieds to save a little cash as GBB's come and go on the classifieds with some frequency.

Cheers

I did it, and I had every person in the world telling me not to do it that way... And I'm here telling people not to do it the way I did. The problem is I hate AEG's.

No, I've had both the SCAR, M4 and 2 CQBR's and they all functioned flawlessly. I sold the SCAR so I didn't put beyond a few thousand rounds but the M4's I never had a problem with.

Just got a WE SCAR serial number in the 4000's. Part #87 was broken when it arrived. All plastic part that stops the stock from folding is not a good choice of material. After a few hundred rounds now the bump on the hammer to release the valve lock has broken off. The valve lock is now not pushed up when the hammer is pulled back which allows the firing pin assembly to move back again. Probably will have to get the RA-Tech complete steel trigger box kit which is supposed to have stronger trigger parts.
