Ares Amoeba Striker AS-01/AS-02 Owners Thread

[Skara]

Awaiting to receive my AS-01 today. Read up on his thread yesterday before making he purchase.
 

Excited!

If you had really read this thread, then why did you buy the 01?

Cos I’m a techy and can do wonders with airsoft rifs. And something to do besides working.

Fair enough

Although the 02 would've been better in any department, and cheaper to work with as it needs less stuff done to it

AS03 front end is €50 posted from Ares.

Should I do it??

No...I sent mine back, got a refund in the end..

So much for that..lol..

Should've picked a 02 mate

Or an actual VSR

Hi All 

I have bought an AS02 from someone online.

It has the AA hopup fitted. Whenever a bb is loaded it just rolls out of the barrel.

Do you know what might cause this and how to fix please

That sounds like there is no hop being applied to the rubber/BB. Try using the allen key to turn the grub screw on the top rail to see if the hop will engage.

This should fix it but if not come back and we can trouble shoot it together

If you got the standard hop unit use that with a gunsmithy pro strike hop arm. If you don’t have the standard hop, ermm... buy one ?

Hey guys,

I just saw the bigger air volume cylinder by Ares on the Redwolf site, sadly out of stock. I'm really curious about the performance, does anyone have any experience with it?

It's shit. Just like every single Ares product.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I bought a Rocket m150 spring for my AS02 and once installed i cannot pull the trigger.

The spring is slightly longer than the one in the gun previously.

Does anyone have any advice on what may cause this? I am assuming its the spring if so what are the best springs to order please.

Can't comment on the more powerful springs as I'm capped at 1J, but I've successfully used SHS, AirsoftPro and Guarder AEG springs in mine. Also are you sure you seated the spring guide correctly? Sometimes they don't slide into the cutout at the bottom of the cylinder.

Could be the sear, I had that problem before. Try fiddling with the screws in the triggerbox, especially the one that controls the height of the sear that engages the piston.

The more I take this gun apart to clean/change parts, the more I wish I bought a VSR.

My ML decepticon got literally chewed to shit by the nozzle, feed lips resemble a well used vagina now ? fun fact: the hop had less than 200 rounds put through it.

Plus it was a complete bitch to reassemble the hop unit, once again.

Sell it for more than RRP, just make sure you use the term "fully upgraded" as that triples the price guaranteed.

Then buy a VSR.
