Help with first airsoft gun

[shooter7]

This is my first airsoft gun and I have a question.

It says in the description

The RWC Defender runs off an 8mm gearbox on a G&P M120 High Speed Motor

I was wondering if that meant that it shot 8mm BBs instead of the normal 6mm BBs.

[Talon 1]

It still fires standard 6mm BBs, it means that the bushings on the gearbox are 8mm, rather than 6mm or 7mm.

Ok thank you. Shows you how much I know about these things

Up until this point I've been exclusively paintball, but I am joining an airsoft team.

You made a good choice with the gun though. The gears might need replacing at some point though...

Great rifle, the increased size of bushings increases the capable rof of the gearbox.

Thank you, I didn't know what the bushing size corresponded to.

[Raging Hormann]

That is a very nice rifle, and a really good price for an RWC weapon. Good choice, IMO. As far as I've heard, the G&P M120 motor is a very nice one, and you should have no problems with pulling a strong spring i.e. M120.

I don't know how your rof will be with just a 7.4 though, I guess you'll just have to wait and see!

BTW: great move switching to airsoft

Converts are encouraged, you will enjoy airsoft. Btw good choice in an AEG.

That is a great choice of a gun. G&P has excellent bodies and the internals on this gun are very nice too. You'll be enjoying airsoft a lot.

Welcome to the wonderful hobby of airsoft. Hopefully you won't be disappointed. (You shouldn't be with that gun )

Kingy,
RWC does not stand for G&P. It's a Red Wolf Custom gun, with G&P internals.

I know it is a RWC. So the body is not G&P?

[Raging Hormann]

IIRC, G&P does not make a VLTOR body. Could be wrong though.

You're correct. King Arms makes an VLTOR Body.

[Nocte]

Nice pick on your first AEG. Most people get the first thing they can afford for $150, and then the "help with first gun" posts are usually to the tune of something broken.

G&P does in fact make a VLTOR style metal body. Redwolf has them in stock
