    If you could change the joule limit, would you?

    I think the current limits keep gameplay at a close range that encourages action and fun. I think having higher range is good up to a point (see paintball vs airsoft) but the 50-70m limit from a well tuned 1.14j airsoft gun is about right. Also, might be an unpopular opinion, but getting shot...

    Battery compatibility for Specna Arms Edge 2.0 X-series

    Hi all, I'm looking at getting a Specna Arms Edge 2.0 X series AEG, probably the SA-X01. I'm a little concerned about the tiny battery compartment, so have two questions. 1. What batteries do you all run in them? Do you recommend 7.4v or 11.1v? Keeping in mind I'll be using a lower power...

    G&G Armament SGR556 & New G3 Gearbox

    G&G have released this on their youtube channel: It looks like a very interesting new hop design - I don't like the external adjustment requiring a screwdriver but locking to the front of the gearbox could improve air-seal.

    How many FPS lost from short stroking?

    Just by looking at the position of the piston through the cylinder port while firing in full auto. I'm looking for the piston to be temporarily stationary after slamming forwards. I assume with PME the piston is caught by the sector gear while still moving forward and therefore never stops...

    How many FPS lost from short stroking?

    So for anyone else asking a similar question in the future, I've got the empirical data. I shot 20 times before and after shaving off 2 teeth, with the spring/barrel/cylinder combo from my post above & both with no hop applied. I've got pretty excellent air-seal/consistency and based on the...

    How many FPS lost from short stroking?

    Ah that's good to hear. I'll go for 2 teeth off and report back here to report the results for others to know for the future.

    How many FPS lost from short stroking?

    Hi all, I've recently made some significant improvements to the air seal in my G&G CM16 SRL and the FPS has jumped from 314+/-7 up to 332+/-2 with 0.25s. I would like this to be down at 305-310 for my local field limits. I am about to put in some 13:1 gears as well and intended to shave...

    Will a gear change result in pre-engagement?

    Bought full compression kit (rocket cylinder head, zci cylinder & piston, gp pom piston head) and the gears, then attempt an r-hop. Big upgrades incoming!

    Will a gear change result in pre-engagement?

    I think I'll replace the compression parts and teflon tape up the hop-up. Inner barrel is 380mm and I the cylinder looks to be about 2/3... I know that isn't a category that exists but it doesn't look like 3/4.

    Will a gear change result in pre-engagement?

    It's the gearparts M110 from your site, and had about 3000 rounds through it, so pretty new. I get +/- 5fps between shots so I think I might need to fix air seal. Got the stock compression parts apart from air nozzle.

    Will a gear change result in pre-engagement?

    Hi ak2m4, love your site! I get ~310 with 0.25 and ~345 with 0.20, so just within my site limits. Does this suggest air seal issues?

    Will a gear change result in pre-engagement?

    Ah so I'm using an 11.1v 1500mah 15C battery - don't know where that sits on the battery spectrum. I also forgot that there's an M110 spring in there which could be relevant.

    Will a gear change result in pre-engagement?

    Hi all, I'd like to make some upgrades and want to know if I'll need to make other alterations. I currently have a G&G CM16 SRL. Only relevant gearbox changes are a high torque (22 TPA) motor and a sector delayer chip. I'd like to swap out the stock gearset for a 12:1 or 13:1, but I'm...

    AEG not feeding every round in full auto

    Just wanted to say thanks guys, the delayer chip has sorted the issue completely, even with the slightly faster motor I've installed.

    AEG not feeding every round in full auto

    Oof that's not great. What do you all buy and where from?
