Hello everybody, I made an account to post this. I searched for similar topics but I couldn't find anything. I'm on holiday in the Philippines and I just bought a CYMA 030 from a hobby shop. I've bought springers before while on holiday (the country I live in has some really harsh bb gun laws) but this is my first 'proper' purchase and to be honest I know nothing about airsoft guns. Anyway, my pistol doesn't have the CYMA branding on the butt of the pistol. It came in a legit CYMA box (checked on google images - looks exact same), and I got everything in the sales package except for the allen key. My question is,

do you think I've got a fake CYMA?

do you think it's just some Philippines release that is slightly different? - Has no orange tip

Do you think CYMA is back in business with the branding removed for legal reasons? (but why CYMA box?)

Do you think the store I got it from swapped it out on me?

And if it is real, what gen do you think it is? (would be a bit annoyed if it's gen1, but people are saying that gen1's were finished years ago)

Thanks for any help you can give me, I am really curious as to what's up. Got the 450mAh battery not the 500. And the sights are painted like a gen 2. Obviously I don't have a chrono, all I can tell you is it goes through one side of an empty packet of cigarettes at about 10 metres. Haven't taken it out of the hotel room so I can't tell you how far it goes. But it hurts my hand when I shoot myself, but it won't break the skin. As I said, I've only had crappy springers before, but this one feels like good quality, has a good weight and doesn't feel like it will break if I drop it. I paid about US80 for the gun and 4000 bb's, probably paid more than normal cause I'm white, haha

What do you guys reckon?

Oh, also, I saw one can buy a 6.01mm barrel - haven't got a ruler or anything with me but this looks real close to 6mm, when I drop a bb in the barrel it goes in flush. Does this sound like a better barrel than what the CYMA 030's ship with?

Oh, also, it appears exactly the same as the ones I have seen on youtube aside from the CYMA logo missing, and also on the safety, I can see no unpainted metal behind the button, mine is all black. Ones I have seen on internet have unpainted metal behind the safety. And where the motor is in the butt there's a sticker that says 'Electric Gun Series'

Thanks in advance for any information anybody can give me

Cheers,

Matt

actually thats about how they cost now a days due to supply and demand. theres not that many of them around so the prices have went up
and you shoulda took it outta the box and aep whipped her into compliance :b .....rofl!



I have mine running on a lipo. it has perfect fps, range, and accuracy for a pistol side arm. .....actually probly more than required for something most people will use as a close range back up
if you wanna run a pistol as a primary then youd be better off with a quality gbb
