AEA Speed running regulation? New Semi auto shotgun from AEA, thoughts?
- Thread starter Bernie7
- Start date
@elittle1234 Don’t get me wrong, obviously I want one. It’d be a lot of fun to show up at the range and see all the pb guys’ faces but this really seems like they’re asking for it.

Yeah, they are going in a direction where soon it could change things a lot, not in a good way.

They sure come out with all kinds of cool stuff.
This guys don't sit around and develop, develop, develop at a breakneck speed.,...remind me of Crosman a bit

Nothing AEA does interests me. Seems they overlook QC often in their pursuit to move forward. They also overlook obvious small details necessary for a balanced platform. Just too many problems.

I like AEA and haven't had any problems with mine. I also hope they don't push the envelope over the edge as well.

Like most companies that sell a lot of guns and models you will have those that swear by the guns and report no problems and then you'll have those that post bad reviews with all kinds of problems,...it happens at the top with companies like FX and all the way down the line

Their concepts are ******* amaing, their execution is total crap. I buy their stuff, but quickly get rid of it.
Let's hope my balls aren't fluffed here and this next gen of amazing products just suck anus like everything else.

Their products are not safe and I am surprised they have not had a class action law suit filed against them.

Because to fix them they’re admitting something is wrong. All my semis from
Them had cycling issues.

x2. Seems like certain things are known issues from the beginning on certain guns. But 7kpsi ...I can't risk my life on that. I'm worried it will draw more bad attention than good. I still want one though.

I don't want to sound like I'm bad mouthing AEA because I do like some of their stuff. My m50 pistol is awesome and I love it. My zeus is great aside from the exploding transfer port and 100$ valve pins breaking. If I could just get a durable valve pin to go with the aluminum transfer port I made I think the gun would be indestructible. It just makes me wonder what's going to break at 7000psi and if it's going to be catastrophic.

With no ejection, what do the "shels" look like? I think it's a fascinating idea, but I can't imagine something without ejection not being a huge compromise in performance (there's much more to a shotgun than just powering something out of a tube).

It's just a wad sealed at the front with a card. The whole thing comes out in 1 piece. Doesn't work nearly as good as a shotgun but I haven't tested it that much. 
these are some test ones I made with various types of inserts and things. The trick is to try and get it to spread like a shotgun. It has a tendency to just fly out in one piece. I'm playing with different size choke tubes and amounts of shot. Much different than a real gun.

Love the concept. I don't have a use for it but I bet someone will. Just to name 2 companies that have QC problems
- Hatsan: Known for budget-friendly PCPs, Hatsan rifles sometimes exhibit inconsistent quality.
- Gamo: Their PCPs have faced criticism for inconsistent accuracy and build quality.
- No brand is immune:

I also own an AEA pcp, 357 big 9 I have had for close to 3 years and have had to replace 1 O-ring. The more complicated the build the more that can go wrong, I keep it simple, big 9 and Texan 308.
