G&G GR4 G26 unboxing

[Nuclearsquash]

Not so much a review at this stage as I haven't had a chance to use it, but thought i'd post up some picks and first impressions.

I've been looking at this gun for a while, and a bonus at work helped get it. I liked the Magpul esque looks and the smaller price tag. However i can see why this gun might be a bit marmite.

Anyway it comes nicely packaged in a green box with shiny backed pic of said gun:



On opening the box it was suitable padded with News of the World pages lol, but the contents were nice and safe. In the main compartment were the gun, mag 1000 bbs, and the battery I has ordered as well. Underneath the main part was also a little G&G extras pack which included, a G&G patch, playing cards, and stickers:



Looking closer at the gun there are G&G "trades", flip up sites, laser pointer and flip down torch. THe construction is primarily abs/nylon fiber. The stock ratches along nicely to 6 different positions, and has an extra little compartment as well. The G-Mag is very comfortable and looks nice as well.







All in it seems like a nice little gun, will be trying it out on Sunday at GZ so feel free to chat if you see it/me.

In the mean time any questions etc just shout.

Looks sweet.

Reckon you could fit a standard mini in the grip?

Re: G&G GR4 G26 unboxing

At a push maybe, but the split mini is definitely easier.

Re: G&G GR4 G26 unboxing

Re: G&G GR4 G26 unboxing

how much did the light and laser model cost you may i ask?

[ggujral]

Re: G&G GR4 G26 unboxing

Did you get the stock standard or with upgraded bushings?

Got to be careful while putting in the batteries, the hand guard will come out only if the laser is pulled out and kept in that position or the hand guard will snap the laser off... It really is very delicate. The torch is pretty low powered n not the easiest to put in batteries for the torch.... The laser battery compartment is far more accessible.

Re: G&G GR4 G26 unboxing

I'm using a red dot scope and Magpul emags with it, it does give the gun a more meaner profile...

Re: G&G GR4 G26 unboxing

It cost £229 completely standard, I believe they generally shoot 330 out of the box.

I haven't tried the laser or torch as (rather rudely) you have to buy the batteries seperately.

I agree that the laser/foregrip is potentially weak, however when it's all clipped together it is pretty solid all said, you just need to be careful when putting the battery in.

Re: G&G GR4 G26 unboxing

if anyone could do an accuracy/range/general shooting performance video up i would be eternally grateful! hahah

[Nemesis9]

Re: G&G GR4 G26 unboxing

Right.

Got mine today....



What I like..
-Great ergonomics, grips sit well in the hand, stock is awesome, no wobble and comfortable to shoulder. Its also very light.
-Selector switch is firm and locks in place well.
-Construction of the gun is very solid, even though its fiber/plastic.
-Nice FPS and accuracy out of the box, couldnt ask for more from a stock gun.
-Hop up is very sensitive, however is quite effective.


What I dont like
-Feeds like shit when firing on auto. Ive put about 1000 rounds through it so far and its getting better, after spraying some silicon oil in the chamber it has notably improved, and now only misses around 5% of the shots. I expect this problem to be eliminated after another 1000 rounds so.
-Foregrip is horribly designed, the LED light battery is housed at the front and bottom end and blocks any room for a mini battery or lipo. First thing I did was remove it altogether and now I can fit my 11.1v lipo inside. Laser battery compartment is housed in the top and is easily accessible, however the unit itself is very flimsy as mentioned; I can't see it lasting long at all.
-ROF leaves much to be desired, even on my lipo.



Any questions just shout

Re: G&G GR4 G26 unboxing

Any advice on which rail will fit firmly on the hand guard underside so that I can attach a decent Vertical foregrip and a torch? I want to cover almost the entire length of the underside, looks like it will take a 20m unto 12 spaces long?

Re: G&G GR4 G26 unboxing

Update:

I have recently swapped out the hop bucking for an ICS one and the motor for a VFC and performance has improved drastically. The weapon is no longer double or misfeeding and ROF is much improved. I'd reccomend swapping these parts if you're looking to buy this gun.
