I am thinking of removing it for the MP5 as its a pain to try and fit the MERF 3.2, battery and fuse all in tehone compartment, the M14 has space for all three and bigger batteries. Plus the motor for my gun was only £25 so can be easily replaced. Reading around some ppl say YES A FUSE is absolutely necessary and other saying MEH not really. But i take what you guys said onboard and will bin that fuse (really i'll keep it as spare).

Try these guys: https://grabgraphics.wordpress.com/ Both the owners are personal friends of mine and have done excellent embroidery for my Squadron in the Air Training Corps. Though i will add that its only the two of them that work at it so lead times could be a while and they both work full time jobs outside of the embroidery business but its no harm to ask.

Hi all Just a quick question. I have both a G&G M14 HBA-S and a G&G MP5A5 Both came with fuses as standard but i am wondering are they needed? both weapons have GATES MERF 3.2 MOSFETS installed and working fine but the fuse is taking up so much space in the battery compartment and being awkward to place that i am considering on removing them entirely. What are your thoughts on this? Please note that the GATE MERF 3.2 is advertised as having a built in Electronic fuse. MOSFET Info: http://gatee.eu/en/merf-3-2

Just want to add to this list: A2Armouries in Amersham - easy to access from London Underground (Metropolitan Line), flexible on the UKARA rules, myself and a few friends got our kit from them using another exception other than UKARA JustBBGuns - Based near Heathrow, does some decent G&G stuff but also some very cheap two tone knock off guns.

Hi I recently purchased and played few games with a G&G M14 EBR - S (the short barrel version) from here: http://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/529/AIRSOFT-GUNS-PRO/409/OTHER-PRO-GUNS/2289/GG-HBA-S Though of course shop around and you may find it at a better price, i bought it from them in person at their shop because of Reasons (got it using an exemption other than UKARA). What can i tell you about it well lets start with the PROs: Solidly built (like a TANK!!) Full metal externals and plastic only where it needs to be Not as heavy or bulky as it looks IMO Superbly accurate out of the box Decent rate of fire Decent stock motor Cool cocking handle which accesses the Hop Up adjustment Mine chrono'd around 320 to 330FPS Decent sized high cap Mag (about 470rds) Very good and ergonomic pistol grip Looks the BOSS Reinforced gearbox (i have read on several forums that this is also built like a TANK too) Great quality G&G Gears It appears that all gears have already been shimmed Piston and gears have been already set up for good AOE, no need to grind down that 2nd and 3rd (partially) tooth I think the stock spring is about equivalent to M115 (but correct me if i am wrong) And the CONS Super tiny battery compartment, only just able to fit a 3 x nuchuck 11.1v 1450mAh LiPo Very difficult to access the battery compartment, need to undo 6 allen screws, drop front hand guard down and then change battery, of course in the middle of a fire fight not the best of places Muzzle flash hider appears to have come from G&Gs M14 SOCOM range as it does not have the true vortex flash as a real M14 EBR - S would, its a one piece part and although they sell a adapter it appears to be only for the EBR-L version Magazine can be a tricky to fit at times Magazine is a G&G M14 proprietary so you MUST buy G&G mags for this gun Cheek rest is a bit rubbish to adjust rear scope mount next to iron rear sights is a fraction higher than main RIS rail, you have to buy the G&G scope mount to fit full sights Tappet plate is 1) proprietary, 2) is very thin (about 5mm) at one point causing and inherent weak point and 3) made of a brittle like plastic therefore easy to break Apparently the motor mounting cage is fragile and difficult to remove but i did not have this problem as mine just slid off, no force necessary Stock Air Nozzle does not have a o-ring seal relying only on silicone lube to maintain air seal Cylinder, Cylinder head, trigger contacts and anti reversal latch is proprietary Lastly the gearbox for the G&G M14 is called a Version 7 Gearbox but its not a true Version 7 box, its actually a hybrid Ver 7 box using a combination of V2 and V3 parts. If you do decide to get the G&G M14 i will list the stock parts below should you want to upgrade it in the future. Gearbox shell - proprietary ver 7 hybrid shell Bushings - Sector and Bevel gears are on 7mm bushings, Spur gear is on 8mm bushings Spring Guide - V3 spring guide (any will fit) Spring - I am told its a M115 (but again correct me if wrong) Piston - Any piston will do (however don't get G&Gs reinforced piston even the one advertised of the M14 as it is a funny shape and does not fit well) Piston head - Any will do but i advise against metal ones to reduce gearbox stress, any FLAT POM will do, don't buy the domed (silent) ones as they require a different Cylinder head Air Nozzle - any AUG nozzle will do Tappet Plate - proprietary G&G plate, buy a spare when buying the rifle at the same time Gears - V2/V3 gear sets Motor - Any short axle high torque motor should fit Trigger contacts - G&G proprietary, G&G sell an already prefabricated wiring loom for it as spares Hop Up - full metal AUG hop up unit Barrel - Barrel length is 407mm, i am told it is a 6.03 tight bore but haven't been able to verify this. I currently have a Harris Bipod attached and recently got the Scope mount accessory to fit my ACOG a bit closer to my eye in a more convenient location. I run mine using an 11.1v 1450mAh LiPo battery rewired on Deans connectors, this is fitted to a GATE MERF 3.2 MOSFET which has then been enhanced wired to the trigger and motor. I plan to change the standard AUG air nozzle with one that has an o-ring and i am considering upping the spring to bring the FPS as close as possible to 350FPS. Hope the above helps you in making an informal decision with whatever you go for.

Many thanks. I got a GATEs MERF 3.2 MOSFET and some Deans connectors plan to solder them on some time this week

Thanks, I was looking at eBay and saw loads by Gate Electronics and did a few youtube lookups but still wasn't sure.

What mosfet do you guys recommend?

Thanks will do mate

Thanks for the tips guys, I will probably step down to some 7.4 LiPos when i can.

Thanks

Hi all bit of a noob here (this may be a bit TL:DR) First some background So I only just got in Airsofting this year and enjoyed it so much i went and bought my own gun without consulting much (yeah i know stupid). So I purchased a G&G M14 EBR short barrel from here: http://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/529/AIRSOFT-GUNS-PRO/409/OTHER-PRO-GUNS/2289/GG-HBA-S I plan to play with this gun on a balanced basis and chose it specifically because i can switch from DMRing to Assaulting so its kind of a medium to long range gun which suits my airsoft site well, I plan to get a PDW type weapon to fill the short range role later. I also bought a harris style bi-pod and an extra G&G Mag. Whilst i was at the JustBBGuns shop i also bought some batteries as the gun came without any, now i always preferred Lithium batteries over any other chemistry so decided to go for some LiPos, theses ones to be exact: http://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/504/BATTERIES-AND-CHARGERS/268/LiPo-BATTERIES/2461/WE-1450MAH-11.1V-LIPO Now you can't really read the specs on it from the picture on the website but its a WE 1450mAh 11.1 volts 25C, i also bought the correct charger for these batteries. Out the box the gun fires about 310 to 320 FPS or about 0.9Joules using .2g BBs according to my X3200 Chronograph. Thinking this was a bit low i started to do some Googling and discovered conflicting reports of using LiPos, that they will strip the gearboxes, burn out motors, cause trigger arcing, explode on you whist charging (i have always known this about Lithium batteries). But i also discovered that it can and should be upgraded, recommendations included shimming the gears, changing the spring, barrel, gears, motor, hop up, battery connectors, piston, piston head and a bunch of other things as well as adding a MOSFET. At this time i know how to strip the weapon to pieces and put it back together (thanks to Youtube videos et al), I know it has a v7 gearbox with a V2/V3 gea rset but i don't know what piston, spring, barrel (though research suggests 6.04 tightbore) etc So my questions are? Is 310 - 320FPS ok? my sites limit for fully auto is 350FPS so my thinking is that this is a bit low Will my LiPo batteries kill my gun? Are they too powerful? I have heard horror stories of LiPos stripping gearboxes apart Should i upgrade the gearbox? If so what gear set would you recommend? Should i shim the gears? Should i get a MOSFET? If so what brand or model The piston and spring assembly, should i change those? Also how do I make the seal better? I the G&G stock motor decent? or should i upgrade this too? Should i change the barrel to a tighter one or leave it as it is? Should i change the hop up or even go for an R-hop? Should i changed the battery connectors from Tamiya to Deans? So far i don't see an issue with the Tamiya ones. Any other upgrades you can think of that will improve its performance? TBH my main concern is that i am hoping my 11.1v LiPos don't kill my gun, and if it does strip the gearbox and piston apart too quickly then i'll know what bits i need, i am really looking at reliability, range and accuracy and consistent shots over ROF but don't want to kill the ROF too much. At this time assume that cost is not a problem as i won't be getting all these bits in one go. Many thanks in advance, i know its a bit long winded but i would rather put all the info i know here in one go rather than have to answer the individually.

Hi all Always interested in Airsoft but never really got into it until this year when a few of me and my mates went to Dragons Lair for the first time, since then the bug has stuck. Currently bought a brand new G&G M14 EBR (short barrel) + M1911 GBB pistol to start, plan to get a PDW type weapon later What i currently got: Main weapon: G&G M14 EBR (short barrel) Harris type bipod Trijicon ACOG red dot sight (no magnification) 2 x Hi Cap mags Batteries: 2 x WE 1450mAh 11.1v LiPos 1 x Balence charger Pistol: SR M1911 GBB Green Gas bottle
