It seems even if I change the BB weight on the chrono, the Joules changes but the FPS remains the same. Seems a reading of 310 - 317 FPS with 0.23g BB. Is there any other precautions I should take or anything I should add? I'm pretty happy with it. Just maintenance left now.

Thanks for this, I'll check it out. How is the Joules calculated in the chronos? Does it use the weight to calculate this? I was under the assumption that weight of BBs was only used in calculating the FPS. My chrono is set to 0.2g BBs and I am testing with 0.23g BBs. Getting a reading of...

I put the tube back on and this time the spring was fine. 304 - 316 FPS with 0.23g bbs and M115 spring. Update: 310 FPS average. 0.91J

I assemble the gun in its core parts. Motor, grip, barrel, battery, spring, everything. Then I test. Its the entire gun without the cosmetics like stock, outer barrel, etc attached. Everything else is there. Then I fire it auto/semi and it shoots but then the spring inside bends and I can't...

Update 1: The lubing worked great. The results for the air seal are now very consistent. Its now a solid 0.770J. With a variantion of each shot of 6+- FPS. I replaced the spring to the more powerful spring and this took me to a whopping 320 FPS with 0.961J however problem is that the spring...

I noticed the original air nozzle is quite bad with no rubber rings inside so I bought a replacement. The issue looks to be the connection between the air nozzle, cylinder head and hop up rubber so I'll just replace this, grease up parts of hop rubber area and do some more testing. Is there any...

Airseal is horrific. Its almost non-existent so will debug this further. Thanks for the tip. My idea thus far is maybe the piston is causing the issues. Update (17:00) Join between piston and the barrel itself is the cause.

After replacing the spring from the default M90 to the M105 the past 8 readings are: 295.8 302.9 300.2 306.4 303.3 308.4 446.5 303.3 I'm pretty certain I have put it on properly, I verified multiple times and its aligned with the line on the barrel and placed the correct way up. I've...

Update: Added bucking and nub but not much difference. Measured 0.23g BBs 284 FPS. Any idea what the issue could be? It is also with the dragon motor and a MOSFET now installed.

I'll post a comparison once the starter upgrades are complete.

Will purchase one later today. Currently have 7.4v's. Aren't they expensive? I have also read online that the stock one is good and the upgrade would be as minimal as changing the barrel. I already made the purchase years ago so I will try it out anyways. Perun AB++ is £48.00 so want to...

After changing my motor and spring I realised I messed up and did some stupid upgrades because I thought bigger spring bigger motor means better but it doesn't. I'm back to correct the problems now that summer is coming but I need some advice first. I have a SA-C08 CORE and I am in the process...

Really good idea. I didn't call the police to inform them because even though that sounds like a good idea, you know how the police is and if you mention anything related to a gun they'd probably start panicking and send a unit just in case. I'll just do this and tell my closest neighbours...

I need a place to test shoot my gun for some modifications I am making and I don't want to damage anything in the house so the best area to do the testing is the garden however I'm unsure of how my neighbours would respond. Last thing I want is a armed unit called to my address. I thought about...

I just recently swapped my stock motor out from my Specna Arms SA-C08 CORE™ Carbine AEG for a Big Dragon M140 and it has given me an increased rate of fire along with what feels like slightly more power. I am still learning and researching into installing a MOSFET since it requires soldering...
