Finally an up-to-date armoury picture

Thanks for all that information dude! Very helpful! It's a g&p magpul receiver. lonex gearbox, 8mm bearings, bearing spring guide, red piston, piston head, sorbo pad, type D cylinder, cylinder head, nozzle, Tappet plate etc. Pdi 150. Shs 13:1 with sector chip. Jg blue motor. 300mm madbull black python 6.03. Prowin hop. Jefftron leviathan. Dean's. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, took my time shimming, pretty confident that's bang on and air seal is perfect 👌🏻 Cylinder is ported and sorbo reduces volume a touch I guess, so the pdi 150 is to bring the fps back up to around 350. I reckon from what you've said I'm probably near the money? One weird thing I noticed was applying hop increased fps, shouldn't it decrease it? Oh, bucking is prommy purple and nub is firefly btw

You have a pesky MED cos you’re a pesky sniper!

I'll second Warrior Assault Systems; fantastic kit! I've got a SAPI carrier on the way in OD from them, as my chest rig from them has lasted me for around 13 years now. It's more pricey than the other airsoft brands like 8Fields and Viper, but the quality is far, far better as they're designed for real steel shooting.

Those covers look well ugly! I mean what the actual? It’s like hey folks here’s a rubber for your mags always play safe and don’t take risks . Else your mag will catch a STD ( scratches t’ dents.)

Agreed. Figured we needed more representation in the states, so I got another L series. Daytona L85A3 to go along with my STAR L86A2.

reckon most of us are trying desperately to keep the place free of the kind of shenanigans that you see plastered over other forums. plus he hasn't replied so we haven't any fresh material to go on.

...and then fucked off never to be seen again...

In my opinion heating the mags is pointless... It doesn't take many shots combined with those low ambient temperatures to bring that mag resembling something like an ice pack! 😂

The performance now @ 16.7rps is probably about right for spec of motor... JG blue/black is supposed to be a 22tpa so a slight smidge quicker than most stock motors (probably 22tpa is 22k motor) (a little behind an ICS which is supposed to be about 19/20 tpa, but still slightly better) (ICS 2000 say is about 25k) most stock motors tend to be 26~27tpa a whisper more torque but weak ferrite magnets mean these motors can stall easy if old/dirty and attempt to pull stronger springs/pre-cocked However motor is s/hand and likely a bit of carbon on it, so robbed you of hit maybe 17~17.5rps and you wouldn't get a massive amount more even with thick rewire, no breaks etc.... (you'd never really break the 20rps barrier - close to it but just wouldn't on 7.4v 340fps well you might hit 21rps if you could get excellent seals, m95 or so with a creepy long tight barrel etc... but that would be with everything going your way, massive wind behind you and ton of luck) realistically nah, 17.5rps there abouts is about limit of what you can squeeze out So where you are is about right-ish all things considered imho you could squeeze a bit more out going the extra mile - but not a MASSIVE amount What you "could" have done.... if your gun was shooting @ say lame 12~13rps on 7.4v then see if you can add a flyback diode on the motor then run on 11.1v (reduces the arcing at switch for non-mosfet guns) then you would go from 12~13 rps to say 19rps, perhaps nudge 20rps on 11.1v a quick boost - diode should be fitted if no mosfet though, for little time/work What is the gun anyway ??? coz some guns need a bit more attention to some areas than others G&G std piston head is shit full stop Cyma cylinder head is crap, piston is good but o-ring must be replaced JG on the other hand have pretty good std seals/compression by comparison so if/when you open the box you check this crap to attain best possible efficiency (which once improved means better energy so more power less strain = better performance) This is how you attain max/better performance all round than simply drop beefy motor/gears/spring in Not bad numbers, could have got a smidge higher, if you gone nutz with OCD like moi but sceptical if I could break the 20rps barrier - even going to town on it with 7.4v on motor industrial wiring, no breaks, perfect seals, mosfet, deans etc... 30c 7.4v etc..... NB: I presume you are using deans on the gun ??? my rambling brought up the connection and unsure as Nuprol's seem to come with Small Tamiya Upgrading to deans will add 1rps more over Small Tamiya & will be a slight choke point/resistance area if still using & expecting more performance again what gun - as some guns have micro-switches than regular trolley switches and those guns really do need a mosfet if looking to run 11.1v or more demanding stuff/motors But yeah - hope you got deans on the gun if looking for max efficiency/zest in ya build (coz tamiya do rob ya a bit in terms of performance) so get somebody who can solder to swap to deans if you are still on ST connectors EDIT - Ares Did you have to put a magnet in sector gear for ECU thingy ??? wiring should be OK - is it on deans already ??? if it is ECU - well imho these extra circuit bollox do nick a little bit of juice the max rof on old school guns is often a whisker higher as the electric bollox is drawing a little current offset by added features from unit barrel is say 275 aprox, so need a m105-ish spring, maybe a faded m110 (roughly speaking, depends on stroke/port, spacers in piston, spring guide blah x 3) pdi 150 is more like a m120 so if used a stronger spring that robs you of rps (at least another round per second, maybe a bit more even) all these things add up in the end, adding to load/efficiency of the gun and effect its overall performance - but efficiency generally covers it all (hence efficiency is an important foundation of unlocking gun's performance) again not a bad result all things considered we are all still learning and looking to squeeze out the absolute max efficiency (as Tesco says - Every little helps)

Assuming you are building to 350fps. The JG blue isn't know for it's speed or power. It's a cheap balanced motor, That is probably having a mid life crisis over the 13:1 gear set Any decent high torque motor should be an upgrade from what you are currently getting in terms of RPS. Even a cheap HT motor should net some good returns on that front. You will have to be careful tho, and willing to potentially open the gearbox again to make some DIY modifications to the sector gear depending on how high you want to go with the RPS. My favourite 13:1 build runs an ASG CNC ultimate 30,000 motor. To get it to run you will need to remove a couple of teeth from the sector, Effectively short stroking the gearbox slightly, then run a slightly more powerful spring that then gets cut to make the correct FPS. My gun with that build runs 7.4v 2200mAh 25/50c batteries and gets 25rps. If you want something cheaper than the ASG have a look at cheaper 16TPA motors. ZCI, SHS, Rocket airsoft all make suitable motors. The SHS/RA or ZCI M110 with a coil or two cut off should be about there in terms of FPS, but it would depend on your base gun and just how good your airseals are.

My favourite site, proving grounds, is one 6 hour long skirmish.

Those battery specs are good. The motor might be on the way out. One last question what kind of spring have you got or alternatively what sort of FPS?

Thanks for your response DerDer! It's a nuprol 30c 1450mah The motor is second hand, could that be something to do with it?

That does seem a bit low. With regards the 7.4 lipo what C rating and Mah is it? Might be the culprit.

You can use hand warmers. They are chemical substances in a small bag that generate heat when squeezed. You can stick them to the pouch.

Heated pouches on a chest rig? 😱 You'd sweat like a mad donkey on heat and then pass out mid game 😂

As above post anything you find for a christmas deal as before JD are doing different deals each day https://jdairsoft.net/deals/4

Bespoke Airsoft have some decent deals on the way up to Christmas... 🤔 https://www.bespokeairsoft.co.uk/special-offers-2020-bf

I swear squirrels were speed softers in their previous lives. Little #censored# !!! But yes the MK23 with the suppressor is perfect for that ‘leisure activity’ 😂 . That reminds my my bits arrived from Skirmshop and I need to apply the mods.

Yep same as mine. Have done the TDC mod but not the crazy jet barrel. Best part is that I can use it in the garden without the neighbours panicking and the squirrels dont know what hit em.lol Regards

I have a Warrior DCS and run 4.5kg plates in mine...very comfy and balanced.

Warrior DCS is a decent bet in my opinion. Edit: Not sure what your criteria for affordable is, I think I got my DCS for about £100 on special offer.

Yeah and a private hole in ground lovingly dug by hand in the moonlight,filled with tins and dried fruit. Oh and some copies of airsoft world for those long, lonley nights😉😄 Regards

Good riddance. We don't need people with less brain cells than testicles having airsoft guns. What I do find strange though is that he joined in September but waited till now to post this

I take stuff like this in my stride.it doesn't wind me up or agitate me in any way,shape or form. I take it with a pinch of salt.its like water off a ducks back.live and let live I say. NOW SHUT THE F@#K UP AND GET OFF MY FREAKIN' BACK. Phew back in the room..... 🤭😉🙂 Regards

You have obviously never been slapped by my good lady!!😫 lol Regards

Only actual date posted by people was Feb 27th. I know someone said March but not the date. So as stated above, ill have to go with Feb 27th. I'll email ZED tonight unless there are any changes and then you can all start booking as I still don't know the numbers as half the people who responded haven't responded again nor said how many people. All good though.

My TM Scar-l CQC. My first Tokyo Marui rifle, what a difference!

So, when my site owner said to get my UKARA number tatooed on my arse it was a wind up? I wish I had known sooner...

As some of you asked for fotos of my collection, I took a few pics 🙂 We restored a house a few years ago and I got the rare opportunity to turn a room into my personal little "museum". The only downside: The showcases are full already... 😅 As mentioned in the new members thread, I'm a collector for quite some time now and I'm interested in anything that's odd / old / rare / shellejecting / japanese / gasdriven in general and recently got a knack for a bit more steel here and there. Unfortunately, the showcases in the middle still lack lighting 😑 Disclaimer: Everything in that room is legal and according to german laws, the guns themselves aswell as the showcases, which are locked, when I'm not there. The guns outside the showcases are 0.5 joules, so they don't fall under german gun laws, but are categorized as toys.
