What is cybergun?

[ShooterSam540]

Ok, I am really confused, what is cybergun? To be honest, I don't know what people mean by "a rebrander". Does that just mean they make clones?

Because the thing is, I want to buy a cyma ak47 (I'm not quite sure what model it is, but it usually costs about £125.), but I can't find a place that will two tone spray it (since I am not old enough to get a UKARA.) then I finally found a place with an AK very similar, by cybergun. And at other places I have seen this exact same gun, and in the title it is called a "cyma/ cybergun ak47". So is this a clone, or is it the exact same gun???

Cyber gun is a company that has the legal license to use trademarks ie Colt and Tompson.

Like Umarex has the licence for all thing german like Heckler and Koch and walther.

The guns aren't really any different build quality wise ie. an Ares cyber gun M4 is the same as an Ares M4 but it cyber gun has the Colt body.
You do pay a little more for them as the company has to buy the licence to legaly use the trademarks.

yeah there basically a middle man that bumps the price of airsoft up for there own profit while passing no benefits onto the customer, they don't manufacture anything.

Re: What is cybergun?

From what Ive been told part ofthe reason is that its easier to get around lead content levels etc if the company is european based, hence shipping from china manuctures to european for re branding. I don't know how true this is though I would have expected european comapnies to have the same restrictions as china imports rather than less.

lead content if there was alot of lead in chinasoft then we would hear stories of lead poisoning it doesn't take alot of lead to poison you since its such a heavy metal

in the form of airsoft gun parts it would take forever!

They lead content is rather small to start off with in pot metal, even solder is now lead free, but content inthe soldering of wiring could result in ce approval failure from what I understand. The lead etc doesn't necessarily have to be in areas that the user has contact with.
Lead poisioning in small levels doesn't affect too noticably. Given cars in the 80's ran on leaded petrol. It wasn't all that lon ago that wargaming minatures were lead based. Ingesting lead isn't to clever mind.

If you're not old enough to be on the UKARA database, then surely you're not old enough to buy an IF/RIF?

NB- I am not accusing said person of trying to buy IF/RIFs underage, I am just asking a question

Then you're breaking the law mate.

He's not undermining the imitation act at all, he is entitled to have an airsoft weapon to be two-tone if the weapon itself is purchased by a legal guardian or parent to be over the age of 18.

Not if, as the OP states, they are giving their parent/guardian the money. That is illegal.

Ninja'd....thanks Mack.
