    TM Glock 18C birthday pressie :)

    in Guns, Gear & Loadouts

    Thanks. I would like a mag well, and I think if I do anything I'll put in a 6.01 barrel with a decent hop rubber. As accuracy is king, I'm more than happy with the rof so don't want to mess around with slides and springs. I'm thinking if it ain't broke don't fix it kind of thing. I must remember this is a back up and room weapon. Money would be better spent upgrading the cm-016 at this time I think.

    Comprehensive, thanks guys. I'll get some .25s tomorrow.

    I've ordered a WE Europe nuprol holster from Amazon. If it's tight I'll send back and order the do us one as I prefer it with the torch fitted. It's the same torch/laser as the one for Glock 17 fobus holster on Amazon. Only a £15 eBay one but it's bright enough. Heading to redwolf tomorrow to see what upgrades I can get for it and put a Lipo on the Cyma cm016. I know I know. But it's fine as a starter kit

    Thanks guys, some great advice and food for thought. I'm heading out to the states next week so may pick some mags up from evike.com

    There's also a holster on eBay from Israel that should fit the 18 with a torch and well priced along side the nuprol, might treat myself to both then I have options for woodland and cqb :)

    Very happily opened my pressie this morning and it's amazing :) best gf ever

    Can anyone tell me:

     

    *. Best all round gas to use ( looking at green gas)

    *. Best place to get a second mag standard 25 cap as not interested in 50 round mag.

    *. Best belt paddle release holster ( looking at nuprol on Amazon )

    *. Best holster if I wanted it to fit pistol with torch fitted?

    *. What I need to service the pistol ? Lube etc and frequency

    *. And if I was going to upgrade what would best upgrades be and a reputable fitter near me, I'm considering red wolf in Gloucester.

     

    Thanks all

    Thanks, yes its that one pictured but in two tone :-( at present.

    The battery is an 8.4v 2/3A 1100ma nimah nun chuck style split 3 and 4 cells. The connector is a square and a circle fitting. The 4 cell is 11.5cm and the 3 is 9cm long. Looks like 3-4 cm spare length wise on the 4 cell. Im thinking :

    VP Racing Battery 7.4v 2000mAh 20C LiPo Crane Stock Battery from patrol base is the best option. battery wise, not necessarily stockist.

    batteries:

     

    Lipo - 7.4v or 11.1v

    (2 cells of 3.7v or 3 cells - max charge of 4.2v)

    so a fresh 7.4v comes off charge at 8.4v

    11.1v can be 12.6v :0

     

    LiFe - similar to lipo but cells are 3.3v

    people use 3 cell - 9.9v but tbh don't bother

    LiFe's are not all they are cracked up to be imho

    the range/size/capacity is limited compared to Lipo's

     

    The above 2 types have a burst or C rating

    what is a decent battery is say 7.4v 20 or 25c - no lower

    if it says 15-25c it is 15c really I have been told

     

    chargers for lipo's are cheapy B3 type charging through balance lead

    or B6 type that can charge all types of batteries - but buy a Genuine B6

     

    original battery was probably a 1200-1500mah 8.4v nimah

    these are old skool and they don't hold charge over time

    often old nimah's lose charge very quickly

    so don't go nutz buying lots of s/hand ones

    and don't pay loads on new nimah's either

    lipo's kick ass - even 7.4v

     

    to obtain max modest performance from batterys

    a possible option is to replace tamiya with deans connector on gun+battery

    easy to do if you can solder - maybe 10 min mod if iron up to temp

    ffs do NOT cut both leads at same time - cut 1 lead - solder, cut other solder

    (remember shrink wrap before soldering)

    see youtube on fitting deans connectors

    this mod will improve response/rate of fire by aprox 10% or at least 1 rps aprox

    tamiya - especially small tamiya creates a bit of resistance and restricts the flow to motor

     

    component shop or hobby king for getting stuff cheap

    measure what space you got in gun

    subtract a few mm's to allow for leads

    buy genuine B6 charger about £20, can use old laptop psu or buy a psu

    cheapy lipo's start from about £7:50 in the block form

    or they do "airsoft" batteries too at hobbyking but think they come from Hong Kong or EU/Netherlands for airsoft

    be careful where in world you order from if using hobbyking - they do most stuff from UK if ya in a hurry or get from EU site

     

    don't get ripped off buying £20 nimah's from airsoft shops with a further £15/£20 for a w@nky smart charger

    have a look around and all that....

     

    where is the guns battery compartment - up front or in rear "crane" type stock ???

    measure the area - heck even roll up cardboard, pack of 10 cigarettes, mars bar or something

    to see if the mofo fits ok - measure dummy battery etc....

    order up - save money

    BUT don't buy battery that won't fit - I've done that and I am supposed to know what I'm doing - lol

    So before buying a decent lipo, can someone recommend a good seller where i can get a high quality batt and charger please. And just to confirm a 7.4 lipo is enough or should i go for e.g. a 9.6v like advertised on patrol base? And do i need to buy some glass fuses? if so what ampage?

     

    Cheers. sorry for all the questions but thankful for all the advice.

    Thanks guys, some very comprehensive advise thats much appreciated :-)

     

    I've heard putting a lipo battery in will shorten the life of the gearbox? Im thinking about (hoping it will fit) a VP racing 9.6v 1600ma battery. if i do, what rough life expectancy can i hope for? And is mosfet something i can purchase and install myself or do i need to send the gun away?

    Hi everyone,

     

    First post on here, I've just got the above M4 so that my son and i can get into skirmishing. Im in Gloucester and after a quick play with the gun have realised that there are a number of moving parts in the mags and the gearbox. Swell as a requirement for some gucci add ons :-)

     

    My questions are:

    1. Is there a reputable shop in the area that can carry out servicing?

    2. How often should the gun and mags be serviced?

    3. Having no technical knowledge and never owned one before but am in the military so have a basic understanding of weapons can i service this myself. and if so how do i do it, and what do i need.

    4. Currently has a v2 gerarbox and an 8.4 1200ma battery - can i upgrade these and if so where and for what ? and for what sort of cost, and is it necessary or is the gun fine as it is?

    5. Best ammo to put through it? I've just bought some competition 0.20g bb's and it came with diamond precision 0.12gs

    6. Can anyone recommend a relatively close skirmish site? How much roughly would a days activity cost for my son?

    7. Optics- I've purchased a reflex sight and behind it will be a side flip mount 3 x power mag scope, also fitting a fore grip with bipod extension. Any thoughts on any other add ons gratefully appreciated.

     

    Many Thanks

     

    Rob
