Trust me i lost about 3 hours of my life tearing down that gearbox and reassembling it trying to figure out why it kept locking the piston to the rear on full auto and the only way to set the AEG back to ready was to put the gun into safe to decompress the spring, every fffing shot on auto it would lock but on semi it worked fine ?? It was only when i pulled the piston out and placed it on my desk standing up in despair that i noticed that it was slightly longer than the original which may i add had its teeth ripped out by the gears (whose teeth also shredded) when my mate decided to use an 11.1 LiPo on stock gears.

Hi mate i am guessing this is for your SCAR-L? I did some tech work on my mates WE SCAR and found the out of box performance a bit pants (around 280 FPS). Yes i would say the spring also feels weaker than a M100 spring, it was one of the first things i changed in his gun when i upgraded it. As for the piston what i will add is that the WE AEG gearboxes are very sensitive when it comes to the length of the piston, I replaced the original piston with the Mad Bull Alien Green one and could not for the life of me figure out why the gearbox kept locking up on full auto. It wasn't till i measured (with a digital micrometer) the Mad Bull one with the original one that i noticed the Mad Bull one was about half a millimeter longer, when i installed another piston about the same length as the original it worked fine. But yeah, clean the screw and screw hole, add loctite, put it back together, let glue dry and test fire a few shots.

Hi mate, sorry to hear that your 551 go shot to bits, there are no replacement parts for it, looks like you will have to throw it away an get a new one. I would recommend this: http://airsoftzone.co.uk/accessories/scopes-and-red-dots/pc-eotech-lens-protector-guns-modify So far it has done me well is and currently protecting my real steel EOTech 552 sights, it can be a bot of a tight fit so you have to remove the hood and basically slide this into place.

I know its not exactly the latest gun in term on Airsoft but this is my stab at a review for it, keep an eye out for the disassembly and reassembly video soon. https://youtu.be/_QmCzqee2mg

Hi bit late coming but i finally got round to doing the MP5 video review as well as touching on the MP5 RIS Rail compatibility and the safety lever issue too, see it here: https://youtu.be/_QmCzqee2mg

Right update was required. So After waiting ages to get the Vector and starting to worry a little I decided to call them up on 27-05-15, spoke to one of their members of staff and i informed them of my decision to cancel my order for the Vector but send me my other items (some 8mm blanks) that remained on the order. With what i can only call as a "sigh of relief" from him as he sounded like a massive weight (of annoyed Vector customers bugging him because of no Vectors) had been lifted from his shoulders he stated that he was happy to cancel the Vector from the order, refund me the £330 and send the 8mm blanks to me, a day later the blanks arrived Is it OVER! Oh no it wasn't So back in the market for another vector i began scouring Online shops here and abroad, they were either too expensive or out of stock everywhere, eventually i began perusing forums, none here of AF but saw a few decent sales on another, contacted the sellers asking basic info etc whilst waiting for the money to be refunded. Got a few deals going and close to finalizing a sale but was still waiting on the money to be refunded. On 02-06-15 called them back asking where the hell was the refund after 6 days of waiting and was told that they had done it, on the 09-06-15 was still out of pocket of £330 bearing in mind that it was almost 2 weeks since i cancelled the Vector order and still no refund! :@ I called up on 09-06-15 and question the staff there until one of them ended up checking there merchant system to see what stage it was at and then told me that it was pending still, it wasn't until the late afternoon on 10-06-15 that i recieved my money, a full 2 weeks since Vector Cancellation. Furthermore when i called on 09-06-15 and enquired if the Vectors ever did arrived they said no, they were still waiting on them. Sufficed to say guys stay away from them for anything Airsoft related, that said i may still use them to get 8mm blanks but its rare i buy them so dunno if i will ever use them again.

Hi See here for Wires, you need to search for PTFE or Teflon or Silver Wires when searching ebay, they are harder to find than crappy Silicon Wires which i find are too thick for V2 Gearboxes, its a little stiffer and therefore harder to route but once bent in place it stays there. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Hollow-State-Electronics/cable-wire-/_i.html?_fsub=1754266013&_sid=22307073&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322 That's where i get my wires for Airsoft from. Specifically this one for black wires: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-19-0-3-PTFE-teflon-silver-plated-copper-wire-/381194589922?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item58c0f7d6e2 And this one for red: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Red-19-0-3-PTFE-teflon-silver-plated-copper-wire-/171688283142?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27f96b4c06 as for the air nozzle i think it definitely is a normal M4 one, cant be 100% sure as i dont own the SCAR AEG (such as the one seen in the video, its actually my mates).

Hi buddy I recently had a WE SCAR L AEG in which belonged to my friend and i did the following upgrades for him (off the top of my head from what i remember) Battery connectors changed to Deans Installed a GATEs Electronics PICO AAB (this has active braking but they have no AB models too) Used low resistance silver wire and rewired it (i think i used 16AWG but can't remember) Guarder M110 Spring (with a few coils cut off on the piston end to keep it under 350FPS) SHS Piston (i think its the blue one with metal teeth) G&P Xplosive Piston head (it has given me top notch air seal and compression) Tefloned the Cylinder head New Air Nozzle with O-Ring (Can't remember the brand) G&G Original Torque gears (More on this later) G&P M120 High speed motor G&G Cold resistance hop up rubber and bucking Madbull Black Python 6.03mm TBB Tefloned taped the inner barrel to stop wobble Polished the inner barrel Overall it looks like you have all the bases covered, my friends one now shoots between 340 to 345FPS with an average 18RPS. I will add that if i were you change them crappy WE gears stat, i manage to strip the teeth off his gears whilst testing the gun for him once. Lastly here is one of my earlier videos regarding the SCAR. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuHanEfo2GMumFmihTyIItWbos-2dM1Vt

I'll keep you guys posted on the outcome of this company, see if they can delivery.

Finally got whats appears to be a generic "sorry we are still waiting for the Vector email" today. Dear Customer Thank you for being patient with your order for a KWA Kriss Vector. We had hoped to have shipped out all the orders we have for these by now however we are still awaiting delivery ourselves from the UK distributor. The last update we had was that they had arrived in the UK, had cleared Customs and were on the way to the distributor. We have been told to expect our delivery shortly which in turn means we shall ship your order out immediately. We are sorry if this delay is inconveniencing you and will happily offer a refund to anybody who wishes one. You might have noticed that we have now removed the KWA Kriss Vectors from our website, this is simply because we have sold all of those we have on order and as KWA no longer make the vector we shan't be getting anymore in the future. Kind regards The Dorset Gun Company Ltd 01202 980204 So still a wait

Other than the crappy parts the rest of the gun is well made and meshes quite nicely together, the lack of rails does not bother me too much especially as a lot more accessories will come Keymod ready in the future and i like the sleekness of having no picatinny rails except where they matter. For the time being i am looking to get a better pistol grip, a Magpul AFG, some Magpul MBUS sights, and maybe a DBAL to complete it and a Magpul sling, obviously some of these will be clones.

I don't mind it so much as where i play there is little to no stealth involved, its just a plain skirmishing site where everyone charges at each other lol. That said i do hope they make it in a much smaller form as lugging an M203 is gonna be a pain, hopefully they can put it in something much smaller such as a PEQ box of sorts.

Hi all I was wondering what you guys though of The Dorset Gun Company? http://www.dorsetguncompany.co.uk/ Have any of you ever bought from them or even been to their shop? I know your wondering "But they are a gun company" and whilst that's true they were selling Airsoft Guns (more on why later) So i was in the market for a KWA Kriss Vector when i stumbled across their site, as the only place in the UK that showed to have the Vector as "IN STOCK" for £330 i placed an order for one on 13-05-15. Expecting it to be shipped the next day it showed just as processed, it wasn't until 15-05-15 that i called them asking the status of the gun to learn that they had a few on their way, that should have arrived on 13-05-15, that they had been unloaded from the shipping container, passed customs and were due in the store soon, once they arrived they would shipped to the customer. I was also told that they would be emailing everyone that ordered one on that day in an hour or so and assured me that when they do arrive i will be getting one. 4 days later and no email (both inbox or spam) on 19-05-15 i called again asking a) what happened to my email i was supposed to get a few hours ago on 15-05-15 and if the guns had arrived. Sadly no guns and the staff i spoke to said that he would email me first thing next day, next day nothing Their staff told me that due to the orders on the Vectors and the fact they had not received them yet and to stop people ordering them he had removed them from the stores catalogues. I sent them an email on 22-05-15 at about 1000Hrs so they had most of the trading day to reply but not heard anything, do note that i have already had the money debited from my account by them trading under A1 Airsoft. So here we are on the 23-05-15, more than a week later and still waiting for the guns to be apparently shipped from the containers to their shop, in that time I have managed to order some thing from Hong Kong for about the same amount and it arrived a few days ago. Pulling some investigative skills in i decided to look them up and have found that the company is registered at one address but trades from another about half a mile away in a new shop only opened in January 2015, i also noted that they used to trade as A1Airsoft which is now permanently closed try their website, it returns an error and even google lists it as CLOSED. So have you guys had any dealings with The Dorset Gun Company or their former company A1Airsoft? what were they like? TBH I don't get the Vector by the middle of next month i will call it quits and seek to get a refund (if i can that is).

I don't know if its ever been mentioned but this is something i have been following since i got into Airsoft. I have noticed (like most of you too) that whilst Airsoft guns look real, GBBs have recoil, even some AEGs (albeit very light) and shoot lil BBs they lack the noise of a real fire arm, as someone who has fired various live firearms i can tell you that the lack of gun fire report noise is missing from Airsoft. Whilst i appreciate that other Airsoft Manufacturers have created amplifiers they just make loud noises at best, this on the other hand actually sounds like gun shots. Anyways its has been almost two years in the making and it appears that they are finalising the product for sale, head to their Facebook page and show'em support and hopefully they will be hear in the UK soon. https://www.facebook.com/bltechnologyNZ

So when we thought Pro Airsoft Supplies were going down hill they shoot back and start selling Krytac AEGs, seeing this and having heard Jonathan Higgs of Airsoftology bang on about Krytac so much i decided to go and get a Krytac for shits and giggles. Retailing around £295 i managed to get it for £280 (5% discount) as a member of the Emergency Services, so having got home, played around with it a bit I decided to do one of my review video, Enjoy! Airsoftology, KRYTAC CRB Review:

Hi LordGeorge I think if i am correct you watched my Video on the WE SCAR L on youtube and made a comment about CNC machined V2 gearboxes shells? Let me just say that i think you are over tweaking this gun (no disrespect intended) as the WE Scar does not like to be opened and closed time and time again (trust me i know from experience from the SCAR L). If your gun was hitting 350FPS on .2g BBs consistently (with at least a 2 to 5% +/- FPS) then i would have stopped there. Only ever use .2g BBs as your test BBs, i have a bottle of ASG Blaster .2g BBs just for testing AEGs and normally use G&G .25g BBs for skirmishing but never use it for testing. The reason i say stick to .2g BBs for testing is that this is the benchmark BB weight and most sites will use .2g BBs when chronoing guns using their own loaded mags to prevent cheating the chrono (my site does anyway). With a heavier weight BB expect the FPS to drop, looking at your numbers it appears that you have a consistent Joule Power (dont look at FPS too much). I will refer you to the following link to a chart showing that heavier BBs = less FPS. http://www.airsoftmaster.com/fps-chart-for-airsoft-guns/ Furthermore you state on .2g BBs that you got 350FPS the first time and 387FPS the second time and that on .25g BBs you got 318FPS the first time and 350FPS the second time If we look at this closely you will realise that 350FPS on .2g BBs = 1.13 Joules 318FPS on .25g BBs = 1.17Joules and 387FPS on .2g BBs = 1.38 Joules 350FPS on .25g BBs = 1.42 Joules The difference between the two BB weights and your FPS from the above is 0 change and an increase of 0.04 joules when going from .2g to .25g BBs, a job well done i would say. HOWEVER depending where you play, when you approach to Chrono your gun they will likely load their own mag in to the gun, loaded with .2g BBs, this will show you gun firing HOT at 387FPS which won't pass, to cheat it slightly increase the hop a little as this gun is VERY hop sensitive. Lastly stick to 7.4v LiPos, anything higher will rip the gears to shreds as they are WE Gears (AKA SHIT!), i know as i have shredded WE SCAR Gears on an 11.1 LiPo but got an amazing 28RPS before it broke. If you really want that higher ROF then i would refer you to a different gear ratio set or dual sector gears (though expect a lower FPS with dual sector gears).

Hmm if its not a G&G MP5 then it should be TM Compatible as only G&G as far as i am aware tend to do their own thing sometimes, all i can say is buy one, try it, if it does not fit send it back, got nothing to lose IMO

Ok, if its a front wired SRC you are going to have to open the gun up, have a look and see how the wires (not the motor ones) leave the gearbox, do they leave from the front or the back? If they leave from the back then half your job is done, all you have to do then is just rewire it to the rear by not feeding it to the front, close the gun, power it up and test it. If the wires leave the gearbox from the front however you are going to need to open the gearbox, take out the trigger contacts, desolder the wires from the contacts, re-position them on the contacts and solder them back on, close the gearbox, put the gun back together and test it.

Mate like everyone here says i would not have even looked at those two guns even when i started Airsofting, they are nothing more than pea shooters, literally. In all fairness both those guns are made nearly all out of plastic, not saying Plastic is bad as Tokyo Marui (the OG of Airsoft) make all their guns out of plastic though very good quality plastic. You will be lucky if those guns you have shown get through a few mags before they broke on you, sadly you get what you pay for. Personally if I were you, save up some more and get a gas blow back pistol, i would aim at a company such as WE Airsoft as they do decent quality gas blow back pistols which operate close to the real thing, which will last a long time, will have decent range and won't break the bank, still though most of their guns are over £90. My WE Airsoft Beretta M92F in S.T.A.R.S (from Resident Evil) look cost over £110 from a decent Airsoft shop. Have a look from REAL Airsoft shops like ZeroOne, AirsoftZone, ProAirsoft Supplies, Land Warrior and Patrol Base. All of them will require that you are over 18 to purchase and Airsoft gun of any kind and of any colour even two tones, if you want one in black, tan, olive drab or white you will also need a UKARA number for reasonable defence under the VCRA Laws in the UK.

Hi It depends on what MP5 you have mate as in what version and what manufacturer? My MP5 A5 was originally a solid stock MP5 made by G&G but when i was at the shop buying it i requested if they could give me the retractable stock instead and so they did (Awesome Service BTW from Airsoft Zone, Romford). In short yes you can, most MP5s come with V2 gearboxes and they normally have two wire entrances, at the front just above the trigger and at the rear just behind and below the spring guide. Even though mine was front wired G&G still had the wires coming out the rear and then channelling the wires down the upper receiver towards the front through a small hole into the front handguard. If yours is already rear wired like mine was, it will be much easier for you to just buy the required stock, take the gun apart, and move the wires where you want them, put the gun back together and hey presto done. If its front wired it will mean opening your gearbox, possibly de-soldering and re-soldering the wires from the trigger contacts before putting it back together again. As a side note, may i ask why you want it rear wired instead? just out of interest.

Hi mate If your GBB MP5 handguard is compatible with TM MP5 Handguards then i would recommend this: http://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/parts-c8/external-parts-c97/r-i-s-ii-for-mp5a4-a5-p1069 Even though it is made and marketed by G&G funnily enough it's NOT compatible with G&G MP5s, lol I would recommend you go to an airsoft site, find someone with an MP5 NOT made by G&G so ICS, Tokyo Marui et al and see if your handguard fits theirs before splashing out on a handguard rail.

I concurr, go with the G&G CM16 as a starter weapon

Hi all I replaced the flash hider on my G&G TR4-18 (HK 416) AEG to have the notch in the flash hider, the reason for it is that it goes with the Knights Armament QD Supressor. The suppressor fits over the flash hider and inside the suppressor is a pin which fits in the notch on the flash hider to stop the suppressor from spinning around. Watch this video here from Airsoftology, FFW to the 4.30 minute mark

I don't know if you read this post of mine as it may be of help: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/25812-g-g-mp5-sector-switch-problems/ However this sounds mostly like a trigger contact issue, the spring everyone is talking about this one is the one shown in this picture: I think off the top of my head you will need a 1.5mm Hex key (see ebay) to remove the selector switch, be careful removing it though as underneth the left switch is a very small spring which you don't want to lose. Once you have removed this and the pistol grip, motor etc you can remove the gearbox. To take apart the gearbox on G&Gs MP5 which is part of their TGM range, you will need to remove the pneumatic blowback tube on top. I used this video to help me take it apart:

Ah this makes much more sense now and makes me wonder why LWA has taken ages to sort it out for your gun seeing how its actually an easy fix, it might be because they have a back log or something. Picture shows the offending piece: In the picture you will see essentially what is the trigger contacts from another AEG using the version 2 gearbox, as you can see just above it is a spring on one of the trigger contacts and sprung over a post just to the left of it. What simply has happened is that this spring has fallen off the trigger contact or the post so is no longer pulling back the trigger contacts apart. When in full auto you pull the trigger, that pushes the contacts forward causing the gun to fire, normally by letting go the spring pulls the contacts apart but because it it no longer under tension its not doing that. When in Semi auto, you pull the trigger causing the shot to fire, normally theres a small cam on the sector gear which hits a small latch (on the left of the picture held down by the black screw) that flicks the contacts apart and the spring does the rest of the work to pull it back, however when theres no tension the contacts are closed causing it to fire, after a few shots the latch pulls the contacts apart enough to stop the shooting hence the burst fire you're getting. Glad to be of help, give LWA a call and see what's happening regarding your gun.
