It’s weird, isn’t it? I try not to view the reports of others when it comes to an AEG of GBB model that I have under evaluation as I feel that this might bias what I have to say, and as most of the “good reviewers” I know tend to find the same things I do with any new model, the “consensus of assent” comes into effect too and can sometimes blow the smallest of things out of all proportion!
As a reader of Airsoft Action, and a potential purchaser of what we review, I personally believe that you deserve better than that, as pulling information from a wiki or website and “making out it were your own” ultimately tells a story, and not necessarily a good one. I’m a firm believer of trawling for information both online and in my personal “hard copy library” of old books, but that’s in support of a story… it’s not, and never will be “The Story”.
Consensus is a good thing for you but not for me; if I spot a problem I want to ensure that’s it’s something simple to deal with - and no amount of positive or negative “reinforcement” is going to change that. Therefore, I take time to fully test the models that I have under evaluation, range testing thoroughly and ensuring that each and every model gets used hard before I comment.
Why do I tell you all this you may wonder? Truth is, I’ve already seen some “reviews” on the latest model from Army Armament (ARMY), the R604 and it seems like a lot of folk are rather missing the point of this super, hand-filling GBB pistol…
I’m led to believe by Army Armament - and I quote verbatim - that:
