About Chinasoft guns, new people please read!

I've noticed a trend in chinasoft guns, there are 2 major problems that are arising constantly. Infact they are the only two problems I've had to fix on ALL the chinasoft guns I've "fixed"

1: MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY IS CHARGED!!!!
Seems simple enough, but 75% of the guns I get in for fixing just need a charged battery.

2: "It shoots like crap, please fix it" You spent pennies on this gun, did you expect a systema PTW? it's a 200$ gun, it's not going to shoot like a 500$ TM. Whether it works as well as it's supposed to is hit or miss. They cut corners everywhere to save money, including quality control. Infact there's a disclaimer on WGC that states:
"The above airsoft gun is made in China and will be tested before shipping. We will test the
gun to ensure that it does work properly ( the qualified one in the test means it is able to
use up one whole magazine )
."
And they've recently expanded the disclaimer to also say:
"No returns or exchanges will be given on any shipped items. Please consider thoroughly the associated risks before making a purchase."

They're pretty well telling you the gun your buying is crap. So anyone who sends in one of these guns to get fixed because "it shoots like crap" will either agree to pay for upgrades, or pay to get it shipped back to them.

Now on a more serious note, this lastest problem is an actual legitimate concerning problem. On the box of the JG M4 S-system, it states that it both shoots 400fps, and requires an 1100mah 8.4v battery.
Now what this means, is that the battery they recommend is a bit underpowered for the operation of this weapon. Although it will fire in full auto, it doesn't have enough power to bring the spring back all the way in semi auto. I know because this gun I'm holding right now works fine when the battery is fully charged, but not when it gets to 60% or below.

So in summary, charge your batteries, you get what you pay for, and make sure you have the proper battery.
