Thanks for uploading a very important video!

My pleasure, I just want to help other people not get scammed and to learn from my mistakes.

Still, I hope you didn't give up on buying a GHK AK. I just bought one this winter so I have very little experience with it but it's super nice, I love holding that thing. Too bad it can't do the click-no-bang thing, that's why I'm only calling it my second most realistic gun, the first being the WE Apache MP5.

[@GBBEnthusiast]

I definitely am still on the lookout for a GHK AK! That sucks that it doesn't have the last round click feature. Are you 100% sure that your GHK AK doesn't have it? On my TM AKM it wasn't active when I first got it and maybe there's a switch to turn it on or off? Aww yeah, the MP5 is one of the guns I really wanted to get but never got around to it. Which version of MP5 did you get?

[@sogerc1]

@@GBBEnthusiast The GHK AK cuts out when the mag is empty but it's just a dead trigger, there is no empty hammerdrop after the last round. I have the A3 version which is the full size with the collapsing wirestock. But it was a hard choice, all MP5 variants are cool.

[@GBBEnthusiast]

@@sogerc1 Ah I see, I guess it would be hard to imagine unless you try it. Definitely, the A3 variant is one of the better variants out there. I can't see myself with one of the full stock MP5 variants. I like the A5 variant as well.

Thanks for the video! It's really handy for people who are new to the sport. Also why did the scammer still bother to send you stuff even though you didn't technically give him the money?

[@GBBEnthusiast]

My pleasure, thanks for watching! I think he sent me random stuff because he wanted to up the shipping weight and wanted to make sure to get the shipping label. I was expecting a box of rocks but he actually sent me some useful stuff!

[@The_Darkened_One]

@@GBBEnthusiast ah I see. And did you have to pay him for that? Also how much was that laptop that he sent?

[@GBBEnthusiast]

@@The_Darkened_One I didn't end up paying anything because my transfer was rejected because he didn't put in the correct password. The surface that he sent was old, cracked and the touchscreen wasn't working properly it can't be worth more than $50. The parts he sent me were useful and probably worth $100 tops including the DBAL.

[@The_Darkened_One]

@@GBBEnthusiast at least you got something (although it is mostly useless junk), but one thing you got that was definitely useful was the experience. Hopefully you won't meet such scammers in the future!

[@GBBEnthusiast]

@@The_Darkened_One Yes sir, 100%. This is the only time I've had a negative experience buying online, most of the time everyone is a pleasure to deal with. Thanks for your comments!

[@opairsoft8100]

$600 for a stock ak with one extra mag is a horrific deal. That’s a easy red flag.

[@GBBEnthusiast]

It actually retails for 800CAD + tax and mags are around $100 CAD. I should’ve specified in the video. $600 would be around 40% off which is pretty good over here.

[@opairsoft8100]

@@GBBEnthusiast ah ok, I was thinking in USD.

[@GBBEnthusiast]

@@opairsoft8100 Yeah, no problem my mistake. I should’ve put it in the video.

[@hehehhe5461]

I would not use that surface for anything since it can be hacked

[@GBBEnthusiast]

Good suggestion, I haven't put any passwords in it I was just testing it. Thanks for looking out!

[@GBBEnthusiast]

Do you think it would still be at risk for hacking even if it's reset?

[@hehehhe5461]

@@GBBEnthusiast tbh bro im not sure, but i know keyloggers can be put on in them, perhaps bring it to a computer shop and ask them for advice

[@GBBEnthusiast]

@@hehehhe5461 Thanks for your concern! I was thinking the same thing but I figured that if it was reset it would be fine. I totally get your point of malicious software being in the registry files etc. and it’s a big risk too. Thanks for the useful advice!

[@GBBEnthusiast]

@cudi Thanks for your input! I feel more at ease now. I wanted to give it to someone else/donate it since I already have a laptop. Thanks for your comment!

[@TheDeathreaper500]

Weird as it sounds, can we get his hopup name so we avoid him? I am trying to sell some of my guns but I have no idea what payment to take/ what shipping method to use, what do you recommend ( also located in canada)

[@GBBEnthusiast]

I'd prefer not to reveal his personal information (even though he's a scammer) for privacy purposes. He could just change his name and scam somebody else. I've shipped a few things across the country as a seller and I'd say you need to look out for these things: 1) The number of vouchers someone has. Of course, everybody has to start somewhere but if they have low vouchers this is riskier because they can just make another account to scam someone else. 2) If they try and use another service other than eTransfer. As the seller, you should receive the payment before shipping out any goods. 3) Good communication. If the buyer doesn't trust you, make sure you communicate to them that you're a trustworthy person to deal with and try and come to a compromise. You may give ID or a return address, discuss over the phone, etc. Of course, there's always a risk but you want to minimize risk as much as possible. Also as a seller, make sure to send a photo of the package before packing and after to give the buyer peace of mind that their items are in there. Make sure you do what you say you're going to do and establish a time frame. I'll make a video on how to not get scammed as a buyer and seller. So stay tuned for that. Thanks for your comment!

@@GBBEnthusiast Hey, Awesome! I will definitely look into that, I am surprisingly getting into gbbr, (own a TM mtr16 gedition, getting my type 89 soon and my GHK sg553 tactical, Any suggestions for the sg553 on upgrades internally ( i have asked the vendor to swap out to mapleleaf hopup/barrel but not sure what else) Also which do you recommend now after watching your vids, a TM m4 or GHK m4? I plan to upgrade it to look mk18ish or more of m4 with a low profile gas block(so basically swapping front sight) :)

[@GBBEnthusiast]

@@TheDeathreaper500 Awesome, the TM MTR16 Gold Edition looks amazing especially paired with a gold match or SAI pistol! I don't know too much about the 553 since I only own a GHK M4 and can't speak to that platform. With regards to a TM M4 vs a GHK M4, it's more of a question of what are YOU looking for in a GBBR. TM will give you the performance but you will sacrifice the build quality of the gun and GHK will give you the feel of the gun but sacrifice performance. I started with a TM M4 (2 actually) but got bored and eventually bought a GHK M4 to see what the differences were. When I first held the GHK I contemplated selling all my TMs because it felt so good. But after shooting and encountering all the problems that I did, I quickly reconsidered my first impressions. I'd say the internals of the GHK will hold better over time because it looks like it uses better quality metal than the TM. On my TM, the sear is already going out (but magically fixed itself) and I had 2 plastic buffers go out. If you can get over and expect the initial GHK problems I would think the gun would be more durable in the long run. If you want to upgrade as you go, then TM is your best bet because there are so many upgrades for it. In the end, it's up to YOU but I prefer the TM since I've never been disappointed with a TM product. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment! Let me know how the 553 goes because that burst mode looks so sick!

@@GBBEnthusiast Hey thanks for the tip :) I'll definitely look into TM then over GHK, I have my iffs with the GHK but I dont really want to do heavy maintenace on a gun haha, Ill definitely keep you in the loop once I get my gun ;)
