GSG Tactical G14 Carbine Electric Blowback AEG by ARES (Color: Black / Picatinny)

"I've had this gun for about a month or so and I had to say I'm in love with it. It fires accurately right out of the box, its very easy to handle, not too heavy even with a 3,000 round drum mag on it. I do have some trouble putting said drum mag in but with just a very little amount of force of the mag release its in perfectly. If I could give a more accurate rating, it'd be 9.7/10 because it is kinda picky about its batteries.

"I have to say that after shooting this gun I was really surprised by it's performance and the
Build of this gun was amazing. The g14 will shoot around 375 fps with. 20 gram bbs.
If you got the money to buy this gun do it, it's worth the money.

"I would have to agree with the rest of these reviews.

PROS:
1. Built in MOSFET
2. Easy break down
3. Range of I'm guessing 130 ft. with .25g bb's
4. EXCELENT rate of fire!!
5. Electric Blow Back give this gun an AWESOME feel when firing it.
6. EBB makes this gun sound viscious!
7. Tactical rails in all the right places for custimizations
8. Works GREAT with G36 slim Flash Mags!
9. The pistol grip, stock, and shroud all feel EXTREMELY comfortable when you hold it.
10. It just looks bad ***!

CONS:
1. YOU don't own one.
2. I wish I had more money for a red dot and fake suppressor of my choice.
3. If you dont use anything under .25g bb's, then there are no other cons.
4. Did I mention you don't own one?
5. Seriously, why haven't you bought one yet?
6. Why are you still reading these reviews?!? Go ahead purchase this IMEDIATELT!!
7. STOP LOOKING FOR OTHER GUNS! This is seriously under priced and I would value this gun at about $300. This is a steal!!
8. Is this a cons list, or is this really a second PROS list?
9. The only thing stopping you from buying this is the fact that you're still reading this review!
10. I'm all out of bubble gum.

Easy to dismantle and upgrade
Awesome looking
FPS is nice for both indoor and outdoor (you might have to change spring depending on limits)
Very nice, durable polymer
Comfortable
Ambidextrous
Has burst fire
EBB (in my opinion this is nice because of more realism)
Battery space

CONS:
NONE

Three words to sum it up:
Get. This. Gun.

"Got this gun in the memorial day boa. I love it. However, I did order this gun before and it didnt work but this one does. I would prefer black but the dark earth is really cool too.

Pros:
great rof
great range
the ebb is great
the ebb also does add a significant amount of kick
ambidextrous fire selector and bolt
strong polymer construction
adjustable stock
rail space
battery space

Cons
accuracy is a bit bad but not horrible.(would recommend .25s or .28s)

"I got this gun out of a B.O.A and it is great. the two round burst is great. I was very surprised how far it shoots with .20's. very good gut 10/10 ign.

"this thing is the best everyone needs to buy this!


PROS:

lightweight
good range
burst fire mode (awesome)
fully ambidextrous
big battery space
looks coooool
comfortable to hold

CONS:

10/10

"Very nice product, love the funky look. The gun is a chunky G36C but is not bulky at all and is very ergonomic. The EFCS is an excellent touch to the aeg making it both reliable and a solid performer. The Two shot burst is excellent and is very useful as one shot doesn't always do the trick. The blowback function is excellent and does give a noticeable kick when fired and is not just blowing back a bolt for aesthetics like many EBB these days. The EBB also sounds excellent noise and gives it a "thump thump thump" sound rather than you average EBB "clink" noise that sounds like your just beating sheet metal. Overall it a sturdy gun with great performance with its built in efcs.

"I am very picky when i buy guns because i need great performance on the field and this gun definitely performs way over what i expected! It actually surprised me! This gun kicks really hard and it is really loud! The bolt is steel so when you pull the trigger, the metal bolt kicks really hard and makes a sound that sounds closer to a gas blowback than it does an aeg! I love this gun! All the internals are steel so it has a great weight to it due to that and the polymer shell. This gun shoots dead accurate! I set up a soda can 100 ft away and i hit the can first shot and it has a ton of power behind it! Its made super well! Nothing shakes! It is so easy to do an easy spring change and upgrades but this gun doesnt need any! I am very happy with this gun!

Pros:
High accuracy!
Super powerful! (400-450fps)
I hit people from 200 feet away without a problem.
Mid cap mags make this gun amazing!
High recoil but it doesnt move your gun off target
Super comfortable to hold

Cons:
None bro! This gun rocks! Would i buy again? Oh heck yes! Great gun! Super reliable in firefights! Accuracy is on point! Literally!

"Alright, I own this nice little piece and for the cost, it's well worth every penny. I have fielded this gun a few times and it has functioned well at every engagement. The quick change spring gearbox (OEM Ares) is amazing and spring replacement can be done very quickly and easily. The handguard can hold most battery sizes due to its size. As for internals, I took a peek inside the gearbox and found full Metal gears, metal toothed piston, and a high torque motor making it a very good quality gearbox stock. The electronic fire control system is very responsive though the trigger is a tad sloppy with a fair amount of over travel, however with a little modification, this could easily be fixed. The 2 round burst function is fun and hyper accurate. The blowback function is snappy and really fun, and can be disabled by opening up the gearbox. This also accepts g36 magazines only though I suppose with a little 3d printer work you could make an m4 magwell attachment. There are 3 sling attachment points on the rifle; one on the handguard and 2 located in either side at the rear of the receiver. These sling points seem kind of flimsy as it seems to be a small metal rod embedded in the polymer. However, I have had no issues with breakage yet.


The whole system is super easy to tear down. How easy you ask? How about tool - less down to the gearbox? Even the hop up and inner barrel assembly can be removed without tools making it a snap to not only change out your spring but your inner barrel length too! This is like the xm8 modular rifle system of aegs and for the price, it is well worth it!

Pros:
Push pin assembly making teardown and assembly easy
Good blowback function
Stock fps 410~425
Functioning bolt catch mechanism
Highly modular to adapt to every type of field
High quality stock gearbox
2 round burst works and works well

Cons:
Unlike the g36, no folding stock
Magazine catch pin can pop out when disassembling the receiver
Rear sling attachment points seem very flimsy

Overall, great, low cost, high performance AEG. I highly recommend this rifle to anyone looking for a unique rifle with easily upgradeable internals.

"My first airsoft gun, and its a great gun, shoots good and is very accurate. Though when I first got the gun, it jammed up on me and had to take it apart and fix the spring. I recommend buying it with the silencer and sight, because the regular iron sights aren't the best. Gun ONLY comes with gun itself and extra mag.

"Just got this gun today through The Box of Awesomeness and I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised at how far it shoots and how well it performs. Even with it's stubby barrel, you can still get some decent accuracy with it. The blowback feature is amazing and adds an awesome sense of realism to the gun.
Pros:
Solid construction
Shoots far/accurate (for the short barrel length)
Blowback
Easy to take apart
Cons:
Factory magazine is crap and feeds terribly
Most of the gun is plastic (Strong plastic, but still)

"So, to start, this gun is mighty fine, especially for the price, but there are some things to get used to. Let me start out by saying the gun is very ergonomic. It is heavier and less bulkier than it appears in the image. However, I have had several issues. The first is that the selector switch, if twisted too far, will rotate out and you will have to disassemble the gun to fix it. This happened twice, but the disassembly and assembly was very easy. Since then I have learned to handle the selector with care. On the topic of the selector, it was hard for me to use one hand. Having said that, I have baby hands. So, it might be way easier for you. Also, the quick change spring system requires removing the recoil spring. As I did so, it bent badly. However, I unbent it and now it looks as good as new. The quick change spring system was really easy to use for my trained hands as well. Lastly, the whole front hand guard wobbles about a half centimeter in either direction. This doesn't really matter, because the top rail is among the most solid I have seen in a long time.

Pros:
Ergonomic
Lightweight
Ambidextrous
Has burst
Has blow back
Has a bolt catch (Small button near trigger guard actuates it)
Flip up sights are easy to acquire a sight picture and easy to use
Assembly is extremely fast
Has a MOSFET
Cons:
Selector switch issue
Recoil spring issue
Rail issue
Magazine release too light
Shrink wrap around a wire got ripped a wee-bit during transportation (easy fix)

Overall, good gun, but its had its issues. I will edit once I have went to the field with it.

"Pros: This gun is....different. Fugly to some but it looks sort of cool to me. Could be a con, but it's radical to say the least.
It shoots pretty fast and the blowback was pretty snappy....when it worked. I'll get to that later.
It's pretty accurate and the range is pretty good. I really like the two round burst.
The quick change spring is always a plus as well. The big handguard makes fitting a large battery easy as pie, unlike the original G36C.

Cons: I really had a lot of problems with this gun. It worked fine at first but then it started to have a delayed trigger pull. Then it just stopped shooting. The blowback also jammed at that point. Sent it back and they returned to me with the same problems. So I just sent it back again and replaced it. The entire fiasco took 4 months, thirty extraneous dollars, and it probably hurt the company as well. Probably just a lemon but still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Now, problems you may get with a WORKING GSG 14: The fire selector switch wanders. It's not a big problem but it can get annoying in the heat of battle.
The plastic feels kind of cheap, but at least it's durable.
And that's about it. It's worth it if it works.

"I've ran this gun for 2 full day Airsoft outings, enough to feel like I can give a pretty accurate preliminary review.

Bottom Line:
Overalll 3/5. Has some great features, the blow back, quick spring change and mosfet are great. Unfortunately cheapish on the important things like loose fitting parts, garbage stock, and unusable sling points. May need some hopup tuning out of the box.

The Good:
Ok basically the BEST part about this gun is really the features you are getting at this price point.
This gun is very very fun to shoot. The blowback is really snappy and louder than most other EBB guns I've tried.
The blowback system is very simple in itself, I don't think it puts a lot of extra stress on the gearbox.
The Mosfet is really nice, the trigger has a pretty long pull but you can still shoot super super quickly in semi automatic.
2 rnd burst is a lot of fun, especially with more powerful batteries.

The quick change spring is really great, the first event I went to had a lower FPS limit and this gun chrono'd a little too hot. It took me under 2 minutes to change out the spring. The FPS is around 366 with .25s with the stock spring. Around 300 with a m110 spring.

The BAD:
The first thing I noticed when testing the gun.. it has major hopup / bucking issues. Either the bucking or the nub has to GTFO. Even with the hop completely off the nub still makes too much contact and BB's are curving way up and are very inconsistent. Nobody else seems to have the same experience with this gun so I'm guessing my issues are a fluke.

The gun is basically held together with 4 pressure pins, one for the battery compartment handguard, one for the lower receiver.
and 2 for the stock. The plastic on this gun is OKAY, and the pins don't hold very tightly. Of of the stock pins fell out on it's own and lost forever on the airsoft field. The easy takedown of this gun is nice but it's almost too easy, you might want to tape over the pins.

Slingpoints. The "Sling points" are these pin sized metal bars that are 1/4" in width. I tried various slings, 1 point, 2 point, 2 point VTac. None of them fit the sling points. Even if they did, this part of the gun looks super fragile and I doubt it would hold up.

The stock adjustment is pretty lulz on this, It doesn't feel very solid and easily slips positions.

Overall I think it's worth the money for the features, but don't expect great build quality.
