gun reviews on youtube

i was thinking the other day, there are very few gun reviewers on you tube, yes there is evike's you tube reviews and airsoft gi's but they wont usually tell you if a gun has a problem, then there is crazy nc man but the one thing he is missing is what happened after a gun has been used, aka how long will it last, will a part where out after a certain time. so here is my proposition to MAA, i have started a channel that is for my airsoft team i want to do video reviews but at the moment i only have access to about 4 guns, i would like people that have had their guns for a while to message me tell me about the gun then let me film with your gun so that people will be able to see what they are spending all that money on. i am doing this not to make a profit, i am doing this to help our sport grow. if this idea takes off i will also move to doing video reviews of tactical gear and equipment. please by all means leave me some feedback, and pm me if you would like your gun featured in the videos.

what guns do you have access to? No need to provide unnecessary information

g36c
problems (after three years of use)
- the hop up can break over time
- all the body pins will fall out
- the hand guard will split along its seem after too many hard bangs
- the gears attached to the selector switches can become hard to switch fire modes with
- the clips on the mags break after a while

AUG
problems
- mag fitting issues
-forward pistol grip breaking off
-the rods that push the dust covers back get lose
- the screws for the top rail get lose over time

i have a G&G gr16 blowback and a de ump. what companies make them? and are you near the stone mountain area?

may want to include the make of the guns. different manufacturers build to different qualities.

hopefully i can do that.

don't even think about an unboxing video review. include gearbox internals in your reviews along with how well the stock shimming and AOE is. FPS and ROF test is a requirement (use a standard battery size for all your reviews).

When making a review, make sure you and your equipment is ready BEFORE you start filming. There is nothing more annoying than a kid with a shaky camera loading a mag to shoot, installing the battery, or trying to take apart a gearbox shell before getting to the actual review itself. Try rehearsing a bit too, always helps to know what you're going to say and when you're going to say it. Good luck!

agreed.

The G36 is an echo 1, and the AUG is JG. I dont live near stone mountain, but i already have a review of the G36 up on youtube. My channel is gunrelatedvids if you'd like to see them

thanks for all the great ideas. what i was hoping is some people would let me use their personal guns in reviews along with their feedback about the gun. my plan was not to do a unboxing like most videos but how the guns preform after they have been used for a while, like what breaks the build quality and the fps/rps loss after being used for a while. again i was hoping some people would come forward and let me review their guns it would be a great help if someone has a chrono i could use during the videos as well.

Eventually i'm gonna make a youtube channel on how to do some airsoft tech stuff. My first video is going to be how to put Duel Sector Gears in my P90. (: I would do airsoft reviews but i've only been playing for barley a year and it's always with the same gun. p90's. ^^ and you live all the way up in stone mountain? Where do you play airsoft at?

If your using someones personnal gun it may have upgrades or repairs so be sure to state that. It would be best to get a used gun that is all stock.
