the magazine didn't drop freely from my WE or Marui G17 and it didn't lock back on an empty chamber but swapping the follower fixed the locking issues at least. I guess it'll get worn in after a while but it will drop with a small shake.
I just got one and it fires about 4-5 shots then the gas just completely runs out. I don't hear any leaking so I really don't know what to do. Can anyone help?
Hi! Left-handed shooter here. Is the mag release button reversible like real steel Gen 4 Glocks? The Raven mag has ambidextrous grooves, but I’m not sure if the button itself is ambidextrous. If you could see if it’s reversible or not, you would make my day. I can’t find info on this anywhere else. Thank you in advance.
No it's just a replacement nozzle, this gun only takes green gas. Co2 comes in singular silver canisters and are replaced occasionally. Green gas is a basically a Co2 canister built into the mag and you refill the mag from a bottle of C02 gas. :)
That was how my 1911 came the C02 parts springs for the hammer and slide and a different nozzle you would need a C02 mag though and cartridges to run them.
The Crazy Inventor you shouldn’t really be buying an airsoft gun at that age, how do you know you will like the sport after a couple of years? Also it is a big investment and I’m certain you do not have the money to pay for this. Just stick with the rentals because they’re good enough.
Bora Sed Ok, this raven gun is super good for lightweight transport and is on par with the WE Tech. The We Tech in the other hand has a bit more kick. Altogether, I’d recommend the Raven EU17.
Would we. G series slides and marui slides fit these as the say we parts fit these pistols and marui parts fit we would like one of these but want a custom slide
hello, i wouldn't really recommend using lighter gas, however it will work. the airsoft gas you can get such as WE 2X or nuprol 2.0 is a mixture of propane and silicone oil. this allows the working parts and seals to stay lubricated and as a result they lest longer for it. i would advise that you use the gas designed for airsoft use like the two i mentioned. i hope this helps
@@thetreereviews2706 I'm looking for a beginner pistol. I dont want to spend to much but it needs to be a glock as I have an ex police g17 holster. Would you recommend the we or the raven. I cant be spending to much as I'm new to the sport
Great gun I got one myself. Its a great gun only gripe is its not really that accurate but not really expecting air rifle accuracy lol built like a tank and pretty powerful consistent gun. Can't fault it but accuracy is shit lmao. Does what it says on the tin and will shoot BBS
There are a few companies who use that design, I believe vfc do and a few others. The green gas mags arnt the same and there is a difference when you hold them. They have a slightly different nozzle too I believe
Ive recently bought the raven glock 18 and the slide doesnt want to come off feels like its catching on something moves a couple of mm then stops any ideas. ?

Hi Advice please. I’m either getting WE Glock 17 Gen 5 OR Raven EU17 OR Army Armament 17 but don’t know which to get. Which is best?? Thanks

So the nozzle that comes in the gun is green gas and the one that’s in the box is co2?

This gun is co2 compatible you can buy the co2 mags for gun
That was how my 1911 came the C02 parts springs for the hammer and slide and a different nozzle you would need a C02 mag though and cartridges to run them.
Should I get the raven glock 17 or the glock 18
ExonicSkull I personally would go for the 17. But I don't really do full auto
i really want this for Xmas but my mum doesn't approve of weapons what can i do to convince her
wait till 18 then buy it yourself
@@scootes212 what should i do for 6 years??

@@scootes212 then WHY THE FUCK IS THE LEGAL AGE FOR AIRSOFT 12 DUMB ASS
Tell her you want to join the army at 18 and you need to practice to fight for your country 😂 she can't argue with that ;)
Is the slide interchangeable with other slides for glocks? Also I bought this from a local shop and it came in a red box and with a raven patch 👌
Im not too sure as i have never tried I'm afraid. Yes, they have recently changed the packaging, the meu now comes in a purple box
Mine too
@@thetreereviews2706 Hey boss I am trying to decide between this or WE G17 GLOCK 17 Gen 3 ?
Bora Sed Ok, this raven gun is super good for lightweight transport and is on par with the WE Tech. The We Tech in the other hand has a bit more kick. Altogether, I’d recommend the Raven EU17.
Hey what bb do you recommend I'm using 0.20 and on the lowest hop up the pellet jumps in to the sky
0.25 is the weight I use in my pistols
Mines the same mate need to sort my hop out cos accuracy is shockingly shit. Like aiming with your eyes shut 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Would the WE glock 17 be better than the Raven? Heard for the extra money it will last you longer
I would personally go WE. For feel, performance and upgrade parts available for it
We makes the pistol so a raven pistol is a we tech pistol
Can you put on a laser on the rail? 9-11mm and 21mm rail. it works on
Will shooting blanks all the time damage the gun?
It will, but for the purposes of a video I can live with it
The Tree Reviews ok thanks because I just got the gun today and I kept dry firing it 😂
It’s a lovely gun tho.
As long as you don't do it excessively there won't be a problem
The Tree Reviews ok thanks for your help man.
This video really convinced me to get this gun👍.
The Tree Reviews I have one more question.
My chamber on the top of the gun is a bit lose would you know any way to fix that please.
Is it good just thinking will it last for 100€
it will last becouse its polimer body with is strong plastic and metal slide
Is the hop up marui compatible?
Can a TM slide on the 17 be be used on the EU 17 one too?
Any recommendation on sights/laser/flashlights for this thing?
SoggySocks surefire x300 series are the best flashlights for airsoft
How is this on gas efficiency, how many can one gas fill up fire?
Natnov mine only does five shots
Usually about 40 to 50 shots
Do custom WE17 slides from Amazon work on these ?
The safety switch won't seem to move at all on mine, any suggestions?
I can't say I have experienced it. If it is firing then personally I wouldn't worry about it
Noah Allen have you got the gun primed and ready to shoot? Because if you don’t the safety doesn’t go on
Would we. G series slides and marui slides fit these as the say we parts fit these pistols and marui parts fit we would like one of these but want a custom slide
Im not too sure as i have never tried I'm afraid
Is there a.specific gas to.use or can you use any ...ie lighter gas etc

I recommend nuprol 2.0 gas or Swiss arms blue gas
I like that
What brand would you recommend between WE, TM and Raven for a G17?
Raven as they are easier to disassemble/assemble parts are also easy and available to get
And reliable
For the g17 i would recomend WE but for the g18/g18c id recomend raven
(My Opinion)
We tech makes the raven it’s just branded raven but it is we that makes all the pistols for raven or nuprol
Is it worth it?
Honestly, spend the extra and get a WE
The Tree Reviews sure, thanks!
Im searching for something where the slide goes back when empty
@@thetreereviews2706 I'm looking for a beginner pistol. I dont want to spend to much but it needs to be a glock as I have an ex police g17 holster. Would you recommend the we or the raven. I cant be spending to much as I'm new to the sport
@@now_and_again_conservative7189 go with the WE. It's well worth the extra bit
@@thetreereviews2706 would you recommend it has it broke for you. Is there a warranty with it
Consistent? Mines is new out the box and it’s anything but consistent lol
Was it shit mate
My fucking slide won't go back on on my £120 glock I'm so pissed
How many mags would you recommended for cqb
As a secondary 2. If you are using it as a primary then 4 or 5
Can you remove the rear sight
Jake Thornhill you can, but you will need something to replace it as the nozzle housing is held in by a screw that is fastened into it
The Tree Reviews i would be mounting a rmr red dot
Jake Thornhill I can't see a problem then
That’s not a Gen5, the Glock Gen5 bring ambix slide release
yep gen4
Great gun I got one myself. Its a great gun only gripe is its not really that accurate but not really expecting air rifle accuracy lol built like a tank and pretty powerful consistent gun. Can't fault it but accuracy is shit lmao. Does what it says on the tin and will shoot BBS
Adjust your hop. I got mine shooting straighter.
I've got one, no issues with consistent accuracy
These are *not* WE G17 rebrands.
Sadly not
@@thetreereviews2706 no? They have WE spec hop up units instead of TM spec ones.
There are a few companies who use that design, I believe vfc do and a few others. The green gas mags arnt the same and there is a difference when you hold them. They have a slightly different nozzle too I believe
@@thetreereviews2706 ah thank you. I will edit my original comment. Sorry about that! I guess it's still a mystery, then. Maybe HFC?
It is a we because we makes the pistol for raven
Ive recently bought the raven glock 18 and the slide doesnt want to come off feels like its catching on something moves a couple of mm then stops any ideas. ?
stephen moore make sure that the mag is out. Then make sure you are holding both tabs down and be firm and fast when sliding it forwards
Has it got a labyard loop on grip
Should i get it
It is a good pistol, as long as you like glocks.
Thanks
@@thetreereviews2706 do those we or tm parts and stantard glock magazines fit to this?
@@ylpeabmwnomistaja3034 sadly not
dont buy this breaks so easily. Lasted for 1 day
what happened to it exactly?
@@i-_-am-_-g1467 The mag is easily broken and the slide broke too.
@EnglishMuffin yeah :/
@EnglishMuffin oh sorry, i only put the magazine in and it broke
@EnglishMuffin no it was just so easily broken
330fps my arse!! 😂 I have this still and your lucky if you get 290
