22 July, 2009, 21:11

Re: a Question the Dboys m4a1 zero one stock?
I own the metal Dboys M4A1 RIS and its a VERY nice gun. Accurate and just on my site's FPS limit.
I didnt buy mine from Zeroin but I believe them to be the metal version, if in doubt give the guys a call and ask
as for JG being better, I would disagree I would choose Dboys over JG anytime as I have had bad experiences with JG in the past and none at all with Dboys. The inernals of the Dboys are getting better with every new release. (lest from what I have read on other forums and experianced my self.)

Yeah, unfortuantley.
I don't know why z1 are selling them. They used to sell nothing but descent guns.

Re: a Question the Dboys m4a1 zero one stock?
^ because nobody wants quality anymore
im fed up of everyone in airsoft being obsessed with FPS and upgrades with low quality guns
9 times out of 10 if you buy a good quality gun.. say G&P you can basically just use it and not touch it for years and it will still outperform all the clones on the market
i assume because airsoft has become cheapsoft - Z1 are selling them to increase business

Re: a Question the Dboys m4a1 zero one stock?
Dboys are getting better.
I own one myself and have NEVER had a problem. I personally dont see why I should spend 200 quid+ on supposed higher quality brands when I could go out and get a Dboys for 100 quid cheaper. And with them being cheaper I have more cash left over to either upgrade or in most cases of clones downgrade to FPS limits.
Who cares what brand makes what? I buy mine because I like the look of them and they are in my price range. I dont buy a gun for its make I buy it because its what I want.

Re: a Question the Dboys m4a1 zero one stock?
Yea and remember not everyone has £300+ to spend on a gun.... I don't remember getting shot and thinking F-ing hell that was a Classic Army.. Most people just want to enjoy the sport (and shoot people :-) )
Dboys/JG are pretty much the same, they work and they do the job, it personal choice and looks..

if you pick up and shoot a dboys, put it straight down, pick up a G&P gun.... you will see the difference
i agree that different people have different budgets- im not saying you shouldng get dboys or jg
i was merely stating that as soon as anybody on this forum goes.. i want a new gun, everyone goes ooh this gun is £8.50 from argos (ok perhaps a little extreme but you get my drift)
i have a few friends with DBOYS SPRs - and they have fun for about 6 months now no problems and also a SDOYS SCAR that is still functioning

Re: a Question the Dboys m4a1 zero one stock?
the dboys scar is a great gun and when i compare it to my classic army scar ,you certaintly get alot of gun for under half the price.
but the spr i had was crap and was eventually cut up to make my ar57 copy.
if you want a really crap gun buy a jp sig 556 my mates fell apart within a hour of buying it and ive spent all week trying to rebuild one of the shoddiest manufactured guns ive ever seen

I understand that the top end guns are the best, but clones are getting better these days. And in some cases are better than some of the top end guns.
and example might be a TM AK47, a very good gun, but plastic and a little pricy, whereas a AGM might have a full metal version that is a bit cheaper.
I would personally go for the AGM due to the full metal and less price, granted it might go tits up, but all airsoft guns go tits up eventually, just taking care of the guns and keeping them well cleand and lubed ect can prevent this... no matter what the brand.
EDIT: I have shot both a G&P M4 and a Dboys M4, and mine was supierior in range and power with both being stock. But the G&P might out live my Dboys, but at least we are both happy with our choices. And to me thats all that matters.
