Bit of an update, had a couple of hours to myself this afternoon so set about installing the Perun and XT motor in the G36. Quick before video of how it fires stock: Stripped it down fairly easily, despite being a budget gun everything comes apart and goes back together again with a decent balance between being too tight or too loose. Remove the gearbox and stripped off the original wiring harness. Old motor out and new one in. Curiously I found whilst swapping the motors that there is a small metal disc at the bottom of the motor cage, presumably to shim the bottom of the motor. There is still a bit of a gap with the new motor installed, but it doesn't have any play once the cage is done up so have left it as is. I decided to leave pigtails from the old wiring harness to solder the trigger leads from the Perun onto. In theory this allowed me an easier time than trying to get the iron tip to the microswitch contacts, but in practice was a pain trying to mate the fine gauge wire for the trigger leads onto the original thick gauge pigtails I'd left behind. Worked out in the end, but if I did it again I'd probably just split the gear box, remove the microswitch and solder them directly to it. I spliced the trigger return lead close to the Perun so that I can get to it if I ever need to, don't expect it will ever fall off but easier to fix this way if it does: I left the harness long but the routing I've chosen in this picture actually makes it a real sod to attach the battery and get the hand-guard back on. I've since folded the extra length and tucked it into the cavity behind the mag-well so that you can just have the minimum amount of wire spare when refitting the hand-guard with the battery installed. Finally, the post install fire test. Much snappier and a decent increase in ROF. Perun is on default settings at the moment. I had a play with the precocking settings but noticed no difference. I'm not entirely sure how it achieves it anyway since there is no feedback from the gearbox on gear/piston position, I assume it measures current changes as the motor shifts from load to no load? I'll have to do some more research, but even as is it's an improvement. Hope the boy likes it.

Cyma platinum DDM4 , first impressions are very good

If you're dating a dominatrix, never tell her that it's time to hit the sack... I don't get it. ?

Because otherwise the motor shaft spins the grub screw the first time you pull the trigger and it instantly violently adjusts the motor height, jamming it into the gears and seizing everything up. Apparently. Not that I've ever done this...

As 'borg says its a timed system. Pretty much it's a case of run until theres no trigger signal, then run x milliseconds longer before you stop. You'll need to dial it in, not sure on the exact programming steps for the perun but effectively you're just incrementing a timer until one of 3 things happens: 1. You're satisfied with the snappyness 2. The motor stalls (possible, although unlikely) 3. You get a double fire (ie the additional time is enough for it to fire a whole extra shot) For what its worth burst fire modes are functionally identical to just setting a precock timer long enough for fire multiple shots. This means it will run slightly longer after releasing the trigger in full auto, but its not noticable. What is noticable is that the first round of semi after a burst of auto wont have a consistent timing as the gearbox will be wherever it stopped after you last released the trigger as opposed to the defined point in the cycle from the cutoff lever. Cycle detection mosfets (ie the opticals that know where the sector gear is) can make sure they're always in the desired precock state but that comes at the cost of extra expense and faff. This, you dont want to be removing that little disk unless your motor has a solid closed end cap

That metal disc is to spread the load from the motor height adjustment screw, in the bottom of the cage, to the bottom of the motor. Otherwise the screw could press against the motor shaft instead. Have you adjusted the motor height?

https://www.308-sniper.co.uk/mk5-thunderflash-104758393.html - 47 in stock. https://www.justpaintball.co.uk/collections/mk5-thunderflash-flashbangs - a few different bundle sizes. Not sure about availability but they're not showing out of stock. I'd just Google them and ring/email and ask about stock and the cost of shipping.

Noice. I assume the Perun pre-cocks based on timing. I find that it does help a little if you get the right setting, but that V3 trigger limits the snappiness. If - when - you go to 11.1V then it all pays off, especially the active-brake, ROF reduction, and burst modes.

Thanks. Probably going to sell an obscene amount of Crye gear too.

Mine have the cheaper pin arrangement. Are there screws to take it off? Otherwise just spray some oil in and try to wiggle it out with a pin or something.

You’ve got some decent, good quality popular gear there , priced right it’ll all shift very quickly , 2/3rds of retail is a good and fair starting point ?? however things like your MWS may command a bit more but I’d reccomend splitting those mags .

Rule of thumb seems to be 60-70% of original cost (ignoring any upgrades), personally if I see something I'm interested in I'll usually offer 50% of the new price & happy to negotiate with the seller if it's something I want to add to my collection.

You dont have to rivet, you can get threaded side rails just drill a couple holes and bolt on, ofc if you want to rivet for authenticity that's fine. Alignment wise the one i did years ago went very much with the "eh, looks square to me guvnor" approach and i cant say i had any issues with getting airsoft grade scopes to zero. But maybe my eyecrometers are better calibrated than i thought.

Personally I think Cyma and JG always boss it in value/quality

Hello all. Apologies in advance for being brash enough to consider this "Latest News" worthy ? I am unsure that it was a sensible decision but beyond all logic I have been voted in as the new UKAPU South East/London Rep. I have been a member of UKAPU since around the time of the Pandemic, they helped me with issues importing a RIF and I bought into a gold tier membership soon after and I have been committee "adjacent" for a little while. Most of you on the forum probably know me by now! I had taken a back seat in terms of the forum recently due to the personal circumstances (Divorce, selling all but 6 rifles etc!) But I am now back for at least a little while until I leave the UK in hopefully a year or so's time. I tend to play in London and the Kent area more these days since moving away from Dagenham and to London bridge. I am here to represent the players in the South East, to give advice about South East sites, listen to your issues, criticisms, complaints and suggestions for the future. I have only just been confirmed into the post and I haven't had the official email address setup so far, but I will update this forum post with those details when I have them. For now if you need anything you can just PM me here. Cheers!

Yeah, good point. I think I've spent too long on the Internet and I'm becoming too precious ? It's an interesting point about niche weapons. I think I mentioned it further up the thread, but TM have models from anime and video games in their range as they know their audience will buy them. I'm not sure a KS-1 would. I'm off to have a word with myself and stroke my MWS until I find my happy place ?

If only every big business would suicide itself by making the 1927 sub-variant of a sub-variant of an air training pistol used by a Belgian scout troop I once heard of in a story my grandfather told me in the 90s. Sorry man you don't get to complain and simultaneously be literally exactly the reason for the thing you're complaining about ? I'd say hundreds of thousands to get the production line going for a whole new gun, the injection mould for just 1 plastic part can cost many thousands. I've only just been noticing recently that some of the original all-plastic AEGs from around the turn of the millenium have been disappearing. I'm frankly shocked they've kept as many different models alive even in batch production for as long as they have.

You can never have too many magazines!

Thor the Norse warrior is killed in battle, he arrives in Valhalla and is greeted by Odin the great god, after a while Thor is sorely missing the pleasures of a woman and keeps on pleading with Odin to allow him to go back to earth one last time to satisfy himself, finally Odin agrees with one condition that he does not tell the woman his name, Thor readily agrees and after a night of very passionate lovemaking he is very pleased with himself and decides when the lady comes back from the bathroom he would tell her who he is, "I’m Thor" he shouts beating his chest, " YOU'RE THORE?" she exclaims "I’m so thore l could hardly pith"

Nice little delivery from JK Army. Now to rebuild the v.1 GM mags with the v.2 kits...oh, and another mag for good measure.

Appreciate the responses fellas, thank you. For no other reason than curiosity, my futures purchases are likely to be: Jaeger Titan nub Jaeger bolt weight set SixG HSB (they in stock @Davegolf?) and possibly the HAO Geissele bolt and steel weight. I blame @SSPKalientirely for sparking this curiosity, and both hate and thank him in equal measures ?

G&G made a variant with a side scope mount. The build quality is probably quite dated for the cost. This model: https://www.guay2.com/en/product/detail-233

It's probably one he made lol

edit: I tried to post a gif of the Count off Sesame Street but it didn't work!!!!

I got a part time job making plastic Draculas. It's great but there are only two of us; so I have to make every second count...

I asked my daughter to pass me the phone book. She called me a dinosaur and laughed and handed me her iPhone. Anyway the spider is dead,the iPhone is broken and my daughter is furious.?

I'll sell this one for £950

New pistol courtesy of @TheFull9 because 1911s are my kryptonite. Cycles beautifully and in my room easily gets through an entire mag on a single fill. I have swapped out the hop unit and barrel assembly for the setup that was in my other 1911 that hates cycling (ML hop unit with a nineball barrel and ML 50 degree autobot rubber and ML I-key) and will give it a run this weekend. If it runs well, I'll be running it more often because very few people run 1911s and they're incredibly beautiful pistols! Some things never change. My first loadout was an m14 and 1911 because I watched Black Hawk Down as a teenager and thought that one scene was amazing. Still running m14s (I own 2 and want to get a 3rd) and will still run 1911s

Yup, it's exactly what it looks like... Got an odd idea to mould it to the various DPM shapes (copying my windproof smock), rattlecan a black base, cover the black pattern, rattlecan brown, cover etc, etc, etc. Wish me luck. Gonna try it on a two tone M82, if it's a success a two tone G36C is next.

As Lister would say - I would be the average size for a pregnant hippo

Smug bastad! LOL

They'll sell. People don't buy unusual guns so why would a relatively small company spend possibly 10s of thousands developing a gun that won't be profitable? Go to any site there will be at least a 10 to 1 ratio of people not running an M4/AK.

finally rattlecanned the Mk12

UPDATE.... Arrived and although the packaging had been devastated everything was present and in good condition. Thanks for the info all

Bit of retail therapy today ... TM mk23, 2x spare mags, DTD mk23 holster with molle attachment and some green gas. might try getting out this weekend to break it in.
