NOVRTISCH SSE18 Review - WATCH before you buy!

[@foxiecycling6928]

Really appreciate the honest review, there are far too many people out there who just get sent this is a freebie and just sing its praises

[@theairsoftveteran6427]

Yup - shilling airsoft products. KZbin is full of endless lame 'reviews' - seems to be the case for all markets. Saying that, if CYMA want to give me £10K to say something they make is good I likely would!

Great review! I really like the pistol and I fully agree with you that it could have been snappier. I would love to see you upgrading the SSE18 :)

[@guap406]

So, I just got this little gun. My girlfriend bought it for me. They apparently made a newer mosfet for this, and its pretty decent in terms of its semi auto trigger response. And I put my ssx supressor with rage custom foam on it, and it is really noticably quieter. This might not be a competition gun. But I can't wait to use it in back yard wars! I have high end guns mind you. And I'm an amateur tech. I love this gun because it gives you allot without forcing you to invest allot into it. Like my ssx 23 fully built is literally almost as expensive as my AEG. And the more you put into it, the more you want to get that level of fun energy back for your investment. Thats the beauty of this gun. It gives you what you need for $120. Mags are cheap. No gas. Plug it in like a cell phone. This is the boost mobile phone of airsoft.

[@hansihansdampf5357]

Great video! Im probably getting an SSE 18 as a backup. My brother bought one and it seems to be a solid secondary for my saeg. And since I'm from Germany it's great to have

[@Whyyoutrollinglikeabitch]

Hey man we're do you play I'm trying to start out in cqb and can't find any fields thanks in advance

[@StrmyCZ]

HI, just quick info next time when you open the "slide" just be sure you are putting it back in semi mode, if it is switched in full auto it can bend the lever and you will be stuck with full auto. You will have to dissaseble the gun and bend it back. Just quick tip from someone with same gun . ( I had to learn it the hard way ) :-D

[@theairsoftveteran6427]

Thanks - great tip! I can see how that might happen.

"If you're after a product review which this isn't really" good one 😆 I clicked on title "SSE 18 review" cause that's what I was looking for. Almost tricked me that it wasn't a review. Phew, glad I stayed I got a good review, thanks for the great video!

[@cakestealer5983]

I came into the video wanting to hear about the sse18 but after watching I’ll have to see if I can find a Tokyo Marui USP. That metal slide looks real nice!

[@macrofage1551]

Thanks a lot for this review. Yes I'm disapointed that the SSE18 is only half as powerful as its gas equivalent. For sure it needs some upgrading.

[@lukethompson7970]

I know this is 3 years old but I too wish it was snappier. They have recently came out with a gen 2 version with upgraded mosfet and it is available for $16 on the website, it is supposed to make it much snappier

How do I buy this it is not in stock on the novritch site

[@morenodomazet1654]

Man pleas help me how do I get the metal cap off to install the unit tracer?? Was tryi g to get it off whole day

[@scottaspden7235]

Bought one and used it, a couple of things, its pretty weak, deffo needs upograding. Also and the bbs will spew out of the mag if touched or nudged by accident which can be quite irritating..

[@smithatyler]

Some Things I Would Like to Add and Revise One Year After This Video Was Released: I personallly would say that it is an amazing deal for its price, much bettter than "okay" It comes in a nice, cardboard box with fitted styrofoam pieces for each detail of the gun I personally had no issue with a missing cross pin, this could be an early development issue It looks great, the design has not changed much besides small intricate details There is little to no room for the battery to fit, sometimes I worry I will break it by forcing it in The metal slide does not cock back obviously, im not sure why some people expected that The grips plastic could definitely be improved but I personally think they work just fine The tip is orange but it comes with a black thread protector, you can buy suppressors & tracers I personally believe the gun is far stronger than 200 FPS The Fiber Optic Sight is genuine Of course the metal is thin, that is the guns dynamc! The 7.4V batteries are still inluded and not much improved The connector for the gun and battery are still difficult to use Again, tight barrel with small space for battery is a huge issue Please refrain from putting the slide back on the gun while leaving it in full auto The mag release is the same, but extended mags (available on the Novritsch website) do not slide out as nicely I suggest an extendo mag I have no idea what you mean when you describe the gun as "anemic" I still believe the gun exceeds 200 FPS by a decent amount The gun is made for .2 and .25 6MM bb's, I tested .12 to see the result, did not work Comparing the SSE to the Marui is completely unfair, they are made for diferent qualities and price ranges SSE has a nice hop up unit underneath the slide I personally use the SSE out of the box, no customizations, but by all means I do sugggest customizing it The pistol now sounds much cleaner while firing but stilll could be better If you read through the guns description and watch the offiicial trailer for it than it will reach expectations I strongly recommend the SSE18, but if using on the field I also suggest upgrading Novritsch did an amazing job with this pistol, they also upgraded some small, not very noticeable things about it since its release The price of the pistol has gone up around 20 USD, and the extendo mags are very expensive, but I still suggest both I would love to see your upgraded version of the pisto as well as gameplay videos with it! Thank you for this absolutely great review! [DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A NOVRITSCH FANBOY, THIS IS THE FIRST ITEM FROM THEM I HAVE PURCHASED. I AM FROM THE UNITED STATES. I ORDERED MY SSE18 AROUND APRIL 2022, THAT IS WHAT MY REVISIONS ARE BASED AROUND. THANKS]

[@drmike8184]

Yeah, the USP slide is Alumunium from Shooters Design. It's well over a decade old and used extensively in the field. I've even machined it a little so yes, very durable. Unfortunately I'm not sure they're available any more. I keep looking out for the G18c version for a friend but haven't seen one in years 😞

[@guap406]

My girlfriend just bought me this pistol. Could you give me some more specs on the battery? Like who makes it? Maybe a link? And I want to know what size gears are compatible from the RC world. Thank you.

[@82ismi]

The only thing I could find about it is that the capacity is less then 600mAh, unlike other batteries of the same size.

[@qui_ung145]

One more thing that novritsch don't tell there customers are that even tho SSP18 and SSE18 look the same Upgrade parts will not fit on both . If you want to make it look good like red dot mag wells they will have different screws . Only part are the suppressors will fit . I had to purchase sme looking part twice thinking since I have both sse18 and SSP18 . I can swap parts that make the gun look good . But no you can't

[@Oh_Dan]

You mentioned that you used a lot of electric pistols. I was wanting to pick one up. Which one would you recommend?

[@drmike8184]

A Marui. If you want to modify it get something with a big frame like the USP, M93R or the newer M92. The quality is much higher than the Chinese versions

[@razorbentertainment8671]

What is the best aep you have used could you do a tier list kind of thing

[@theairsoftveteran6427]

It would be a short list :-) 1) Tokyo Marui 2) CYMA (who make everything else!) The internals are all the same by and large so it really just comes down to aesthetics and accessories (i.e. are there holsters etc available for that model). Marui's are much better built but are of course more expensive. I want a large frame for my AEP so I can modify it for a larger battery so the Marui USP is a good choice as is the Marui M92. If I could find a metal slide for the M92 I would likely buy one.

How long can you play with a fully charged battery?

[@theairsoftveteran6427]

Like any electric airsoft gun it depends on how many rounds you fire. I have never depleted the 1000mAh battery in my USP having put several hundred rounds through it in a game day - in fact it hardly made a dent in the capacity. Unless you are using it as primary I think the standard 550mAh battery that comes with it would easily last you a day - and no doubt half a day. My recommendation would be for the 350mAh batteries I have upgraded to would be to get two and swap halfway through the day. Check back to the channel in a few days - I'm doing a follow up video to cover the upgrades I've done.
