Phil from Clearwater Airsoft shares a collection of airsoft purchases that left him questioning his life choices. He starts with the Celsius CTW, a platform that promised much but delivered mainly frustration and a collection of shredded BBs. Apparently, buying one failed gun wasn't enough, so he bought a second just to be sure he really disliked it, proving that hope can be quite stubborn when it involves a fancy paperweight.
The second entry on his list of regrets is the G&G L85, which had a habit of self-destructing once adjusted for local power limits. This experience sparked a long-standing feud with the brand, as he recounts several tales of fried electronics and mechanical failures. It has reached a point where he avoids their products entirely, suggesting that some relationships are simply beyond repair, especially when they involve recurring electrical issues and unreliable components.
Finally, he revisits the WE closed bolt gas blowback rifle, a piece of equipment that seemingly required a doctorate in physics just to function. With a muzzle velocity that fluctuated more than the local weather, it nearly convinced him to give up on gas-powered rifles altogether. Fortunately, other manufacturers stepped in to save his hobby, allowing him to find peace in his current collection while leaving these mechanical headaches firmly in the past.
