Don't order from outside of Canada, get age verified and buy from the classifieds on this site.
If you do this you'll find better quality guns

I'd buy it. For sure.

I'd buy two.

The metal parts are pretty brittle. On one that I've seen both the trigger and the rear stock pin has broken.

Internals are so-so and typical of "clones". Nothing special nor any standouts.

The plastic is ok.

A notch above a CYMA...several notches below a TM.

I have this gun. Its amazing as a started. it does cross the boarder as long as you buy the clear verision.

rexdlu September 22nd, 2008 12:05

save yourself the hassle and buy a Kraken from Bass Pro Shops online.

T-Hell September 22nd, 2008 13:18

Have a Broxa and it is a nice gun. you can get them at Bass Pro (the receiver is clear) so no problems getting them to canada just like the Kracken.

the good.
Lots of good here shoots far and straight out of the box. from about 60 feet with my scope on it I can hit a 3 inch square target (one of those cheap stickey targets) bullseye no problem

the stock is good can fit a 8.4v 3800 mAH battery (big battery) just had to but the battery wires a bit shorter (no problem converted to deans)

alll the rails are metal barrel is metal basically the front end is metal (except for the forgrip (I replaced mine with a RIS forgrip that is metal)

very good gun to cary nice weight on it. as I said it fires straight and fast.


Cons.
can be a bit creaky if you crawl on the ground a lot
the Hicap mag that comes with it is Crap thin plastic not really worth using.
the 90 round mags I have fit nice (the have a little (very little) bit of wobble side to side that is it...

Firing is good nice solid sound with firing and the pitch goes up a bit when the mag is empty.


For it's price point it is a very nice purchase..

thanks t-hell for the advice,what do you think of m102404`s comment about brittle metal of the trigger and pin,sounds like it could be a serious concern. The broxa i was looking at was from bass pro,what did you think of them??easy to deal with?delivery problems??? if you have time for me to pick your brain??
thanks for the imput.like the look of the broxa.

Buzzrexx September 24th, 2008 00:21

Bass pro is fast shipping- like others said before just make sure it's clear. came with no problems, and I guess I even lucked out 'cuz I didn't have to pay duty!

Use the search- There's already quite a bit on the forums about the Broxa; try
http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=66430
(also some pics of my painted Broxa!)

I agree with T-Hell; this is a decent gun that seems to compare with the Kraken (Not my opinion, but from those who have both!!!)
I'd take it over a kraken any day- I just think that AK's look awful- they make me think of terrorists and extremists. (If you have one any you like it, then good for you)

Solid gun, great looks. TM compatible mags work; I got some metal midcaps from Classic Army and they work perfectly.

Put on a RDS and now I'm just waiting for some of BBBastards' .28's to show up in the mail so I can fine tune my it.

Not hard at all to take apart and put back together to do internal uprgades, etc.

Quinman September 24th, 2008 01:25

thanks everyone who replied, i think i am sold on the broxa,if and when i get the cash this is where iam going to spend it.and i think it will be money well spent.thanks buzzrexx you were the nail in the coffin,and your pics looked great.

Quinman September 24th, 2008 01:30

Shirley September 24th, 2008 01:36

It should come with battery and charger.

Cool thing about that Broxa is it comes with a top rail.

Grudge September 24th, 2008 09:35

It comes with a NI-Cd battery you may want to purchase a better one, I did. Charger is ok. Just the standard dumb chanrger, again you may want to spend the cash (ebay) and get a smart charger. Other than that it is good to go out of the box. Its a great starter weapon.

T-Hell September 24th, 2008 10:09

Yep Battery and Charger as Multitech said are included... not a bad battery but an upgrade to a better battery is best. same for charger... but to get gaming right away you can use the included battery and charger.

Trigger issues - none trigger on mine is metal and does not bend at all I have put mine on lock and had my finger in the trigger and supported all the weight of the gun hanging down by the trigger and all was fine.

When I painted mine I pulled off the foregrip and stock

(when you pull of the stock do it slow.)
feed the cable back so the stock comes off nice and easy.
the cable that runs up the stock is connected to another connector in the back of the gun. the folks at aftermath have put tape on the connector so the 2 are taped together so if you just pull off the stock (like i did) you will pull the ground wire out of the connector in the gun... not bad easy to fix just stick it back in but still worth mentioning Take your time...

the front pin is in pretty good. it is a pin and has a friction fit with a raised piece of metal to keep it in. will stay in unless the little bit of metal is bent... I replaced my foregrip with a full metal RIS so it came with a pin and nut so you may consider that upgrade (like 20.00 off ebay)

all in all a solid gun... you can even put a folding stock on it if desired but you then need to rewire so the battery fits in the foregrip.

throw it out.

First you should have posted in the doctors corner just below this section.

Second, don't do anything to it. If it's stuck just pulling the trigger to make the motor spin may damage it even more.

Check out mechbox.com for disassembly instructions and take apart the gun and mechbox. Check to see if there's anything damaged or broken and replace the parts. (That is if you're willing to experiment and learn from your mistakes/possibly break your gun even more). Otherwise contact a local gundoc (there's a "list of gundocs" sticky in the doctors corner) and pay them to see whats up with it and repair it (although it may be expensive and not worth it).

kalnaren April 17th, 2010 22:16

Honestly, if you're on an expressly limited budget, the broxa is "ok". Nothing amazing about it.

However, if you can poney up even another $100, you can do quite a bit better.
