cm515 does
not beat a G&G cm18 or 30th GC16 or Raider
£70 - yeah its pretty good for money from TaiwanGun
(I mean yeah it is half the price of a G&G Raider with shipping plus TWG do free ship on 100 Euro atm
- but UKARA required coz TWG don't 2-tone
)
£120 ??? - ffs no way - that is G&G or ICS starter money

£110 - use RC10 to get 10% off = £99 delivered but "might" be a tad hot or over 350fps - often up to 400
tbh - £85-£90 absolute tops for a cm515 - you get over £100 and G&G are a safer bet for a bit more money
Don't get me wrong it ain't a bad gun - but plastic is brittle type as opposed to G&G polymer receiver
it usually runs a bit hot for most sites so needs a tweak/downgrade
gearbox isn't bad - a few things like slight mod to a replacement tappet plate, removal of safety arm to open box etc...
(soz getting carried away - did review one and yeah pretty decent starter box with 8mm bushings etc...)
Looks nice but it needs a bit of work - fine if you like tinkering with stuff on the cheap like me
but for most peeps who want a decent ready to use out of box gun - G&G is perhaps a safer/wiser choice
my cm515 started to play up Saturday misfeeding - but have put some rounds through it
I just dropped another barrel/hop in there for moment and is fine - well other barrel/hop curves a bit
it was quite good on old barrel for such a cheap gun lifting .25's but think bucking or lip got a bit squiffy
(this sort of stuff can happen on any gun btw)
Still think G&G might be better option though their keymod range is a lot more than cm515
Other reason for maybe G&G is maybe easier to sell on if you decide than a cheapy 515
Still if you can get a 2-tone cm515 for £99 - that would come with a crappy battery n charger to get started
Hmmmmm - tough call but think save a bit more n go for a G&G short Raider, CM18 or GC16 30th etc....
(but gotta factor in battery/charger on top of G&G)
if £100 is your absolute budget max hmmm maybe but spring might be too hot
(reason I say this is that cm515 certainly pi$$es over JBBG bulldog or cheapy crappy SRC M4's)
So yes if I'm really honest it might be one of the few sub £100 guns perhaps that is worth a shot
(what cyma should of done is drop in a 275-300mm barrel instead of 380mm and it would looked better
plus fps should of dropped a smidge too barrel ending at end of keymod, add a cheapy suppresor perhaps
- its a bit longer than the 363mm M4's but light as f*ck)
anybody else with a bit more cash then perhaps get a G&G
