Unlikely to see a significant change if you've got a 130 spring in there. Very roughly .40's probably give you 300-310fps (similar/same joules). Of course, the easiest way to test this would be to borrow a handful of .4's from someone friendly just to chrono.

The proof will be in the pudding, so to speak, but I guess it depends on the logic of the FCU and what it defines as a safety condition. Possibilities include - No checking at all, any battery will work. Overall voltage checking with upper/lower limits - maybe any 7.4v lipo works, but 11.1v...

Thought the only difference between the recoil/non-recoil was Front furniture Rear stock (and cable routing) Recoil weight. From what I'm looking at the electronics seems to be the same on both, unless I've missed something.

From the cutaway pictures I've seen it looks like the rear of the buffer tube is threaded, so who knows. Unless you just can't fit the cabling in that way? Looking at it, is it just that they're selling a battery with essentially just built in larger balance leads and charging through that? In...

That's the non-recoil so no weight, battery goes in stock tube. Recoil version comes with the crane type stock and the battery goes in the wings of that (if previous info is correct). Still, that looks fiddly as anything, and given it's a 800mah battery, is that something anyone's going to want...

Depends on what you're comparing it to I suppose, but - Built in FCU and magnetic trigger system which should give better trigger response and potentially nicer fire mode selector switch. Hot swappable uppers (and covers for them to stop crap getting in your gearbox) More realistic...

So it's release date. I see these are available to order on impulse101. Probably just as well that I can't order right now. They also list them as only being compatible with the new batteries, which made me wonder what's going on with them. How would the third wire on the MR30 be wired up? Or is...

But *why* have the complexity of two motors rather than just putting one decent motor in? I mean, if both motors have the same max speed, they aren't going to make it run twice as fast. They might give more torque to pull back the spring I suppose and gain some speed that way (speed under load...

Urgh, how about some good news for a change? :( Short lived, but great site and well run. I was there the other week, so I guess it turns out I played the first and the last day. We can only hope they find something else soon.
