Confused
« on: August 23, 2009, 06:14:15 PM »
I wrote a Review to writeforairsoft.com or writeforgear.com, i can't remember. Anyway's i wrote this on June the 1st:
_____________________________ _____________________________ _________________
Today, I will be speaking of, and about, the Classic Army Sportline M15A4 Rifle.

Note: This is an M16A4, not the M4A1.

I just bought the CA M15A4 Rifle from AEX, an Airsoft shop in Santa Clara, California. I was recommended to buy the Airsoft rifle for many (I will only state three)reasons:
First off, its a Classic Army, its guaranteed to satisfy.

Second, even though it was a Sportline, it was above many other brands, and at a lower cost.
Third, its a great beginner/start off Airsoft gun for newbies.

I know what you're thinking, or should at least be near what you might be thinking. Yes, the external parts are plastic. But don't be fooled, there are many high quality metal parts, both externally and internally.

I will state the metal and plastic pieces.

First off, the high quality plastic parts:
The stock is complete plastic, the back swivel (which is screwed on the inside of the stock) is also plastic; the body is plastic, the carrying handle is plastic (the metal parts of the carrying handle will be stated in the metal parts category, later on), the hop-up, the hand guards are also plastic, the grip is plastic, as for the trigger too is plastic, the bushings are plastic, and the spring guide is plastic.

Secondly, the high quality metal parts:
The precision gear box (all metal except for the parts stated in the plastic category), the spring (an M100 to be exact), the high quality aluminum inner barrel (6.08mm in height and 510mm in length), the charging handle, the dust cover, the rear and front sights, the outer barrel,the fixing ring, the bolt catch, the selector switch, trigger guard, the 300 round Hi-Cap mag, elevation knob for the rear sight, and the mag release.

The CA Sportline M15A4 rifle has a high precision gearbox, with a high torque motor and a metal high quality M100 spring to give it 350fps, and an accurate range of 130ft. Its easy to disassemble for any upgrades and fixes!

Note: I bought the Value Package for only $160!

I bought the Value Package which included: A 1300mAh 8.4v Large type Battery, Safety Glasses, High Quality Charger, Gun Sling, three small targets (a Ninja, A deer, and A circle) and 500 0.2g Advanced high Precision BB\\\'s.

Its a beauty, no doubt, and a great competitor!

just took a 3 minute quick glance at the website you posted on and the website he posted on...... and I think you might indeed be slightly confused......

although its a clever "scam" he has pulled on you and probably many others......

while the name writeforairsoft might lead you to believe that your writing reviews for airsoft the company........... you are actually writing reviews for a person using airsoft as his SN........ so youre not writing for airsoft the company youre writing for airsoft the person........ hes allowing you to do his work for him......

prize? as far as that In my quick glance I didnt see any mention of a prize, if he was compensated or rewarded for his article in some way I do not know......

I didnt seen any legal mumbo jumbo in regards to the use of any submitted articles etc.... if he was indeed compensated or rewarded in a substantial enough manner you may wish to pursuie a legal case against him for plagiarism........ although without seeing the rules for posting on his site I could not say how far that would get  you.......... if he made any mention that your work would now become his then your just out of luck

nice article btw..... shame you didnt get the credit...... hang on to that email
