Are g5R's really that bad

[Psycho91]

Ok so I wanna buy a new marker after not being able to play regularly for the past few years and now I can again but really the only one in my price range I like is the G5 spec R, yes I have owned and know about the mini, anyway are they really as bad as people say they are, I am picky with my maintenance so my markers stay cleaned and lubed, is it just user error and poor maintenance causing people problems

No issues with mine. Just have to keep the bolt greased. 22k shots and had the bolt stick once; opened it cleaned, greased and fixed in 5 minutes. It's not like my Etha2 which will never go down but it's not unreliable. I also have a DP Fusion Elite and no problems there either and 18k shots on that one.

I like the features for the price, LED is nice which is why I got it instead of Mini. Not the greatest on efficiency but not an issue with all day air.

Yeah I'm not worried about anything else just reliability

With few exceptions I think most guns that get a bad reputation just require more maintenance to perform. One of the reasons everyone has a PE boner is because they only require the most minimal of upkeep to keep performing. If you're meticulous with your gun cleaning & lubing you should be fine.

Iv pretty much owned spoolies, smart parts, dye, and proto is what iv shot mostly other then pumps
iv also read that if they aren't tuned right they turn into a blender

I'll add this..... Dangerous Power is kaput..... So spares will not be to easy to come by soon

Yeah that is something to think about
