Not really relevant anymore as I don't think they're still available but the recoil on my Lonex BAW (Orange cap) is so strong its a bit scary. I've used it in a few games and its so loud it has scared people next to me 😲 Its the only AEG I have that actually needs 11.1v LiPo to run. I duno how long it'll last but I'm enjoying it while it does. Not many videos of em unfortunately. Most videos I've found are showing the weaker version which was also available as an addon kit. (Red cap) This is the only one that comes close to showing the true power 😄

Definitely worth going 7.4v LiPo as they are fine for running most AEGs.

No motor movement after rebuild following free-spin.
EDcase replied to twogowan's topic in Electric Guns
When you say "... it free-span a couple of times before stopping" Do you mean you pulled the trigger a few times and it free span then it didn't move the next time you tried the trigger or you kept pulling the trigger and the motor just locked up? The devil's in the details... Its either a fuse buried in there somewhere or the MOSFET if it has one. Its unlikely to be motor burnout but if you want to test... As Fatboy said, test the motor ideally by connecting to another AEG or VERY CAREFULLY directly to a battery using wires/paperclips into the battery. *MAKE SURE WIRES CONNECTED TO BATTERY DON'T TOUCH EACHOTHER* Just tap the contact to see if the motor jumps but ideally put the motor in a vice. -
Nice. Just needs a new grip

I'd say go for a CYMA. They're good budget performers. Are you after a particular model or look? As Cannonfodder mentioned, its worth getting at least a second magazine. (I recommend a hi-cap otherwise you'll need a lot more magazines) Definitely worth keeping £50 aside for a LiPo battery and decent charger. (Search for the recommended options) This is a basic charger option SkyRC e3 LiPo (2-3S) Balance Charger (V2) - Unmanned Tech UK FPV Shop (unmannedtechshop.co.uk) This one is better but you'll need to get connector leads for the battery plug type.

RC Cars, Tanks or Boats? They can be purchased quite cheap for entry level these days. I didn't mention planes/helos/drones because rules can be a bit limiting where you can fly but if there's a club nearby... Gets em outdoors and may reveal engineering interests if they want to tinker.

That's a bit harsh. Vorsk are definitely not great but should work decently. Longevity is an unknown (for me at least) but the ones I have work just as well as WE pistols. Since its a UK company making airsoft toys I don't want to be too tough on them. So does the slide move easily when pulled back?
-
Hi, Do you mean when firing or just pulling the slide back by hand? Pistols generally have a feature called 'Hold Open' so after the last BB (or bullet) is fired the pistol will stay open ready for a new magazine to be inserted. Then the slide catch must be pushed down (Usually on left side above the trigger) If firing with BBs Are you filling the gas properly? Hold the gas can pointing DOWN onto the magazine and hold for about 5 sec. (You should NOT hear lots of gas escaping) Does the slide move easily when you pull back and let go? (Mag-out and mag-in while holding the slide release lever down)

Welcome Reef 🖐 Good plan to play first and buy later. Play 3 games at the same site so you can then ask them to be UKARA registered. That will allow you to buy realistic 'black' weaponry. As TacticalWaifu said, Eye protection is the first priority. Fogging is a real problem with the cheaper goggles but don't go crazy and spend hundreds either. Many here recommend 'Revision Wipes' to avoid fogging. Have a search in the forum for recommended eyepro. Mesh doesn't fog but does obscure vision and in theory BBs can shatter on impact with bits small enough to get through so not recommended. Next is the lower facemask. Mesh is best because it doesn't direct your breath to your eyepro. As stated above, under 18s often require full mask. Boots with ankle support are highly recommended. Most common injuries are sprained ankles from running on very uneven ground. Don't have to spend loads. Either military surplus or have a look in nearest SportDirect at the hiking section.

I've been lucky with this one. Fixed a slight leak in the reservoir which is in the handle. No hop but shoots relatively straight in my garden test of 20m I'll definitely look out for a Tanaka 😉
-
Oooh that Bisley is gorgeous Since we're on the subject of revolvers... Here's a King Arms SAA (one of the few gas revolvers I've seen. But only shoots about 240fps) All metal shells. BB goes at the top so can actually be loaded without taking out the rounds. Thanks to GazzaElite for this one 😉
-
Sorry to hear of your troubles but its a good example of spending more doesn't always get you a better product. Yes, curious to know the make. The good news is that it should be easy enough to clean up and get back to the way it should be. Use steel wool to clean the gears of rust. (Be careful to remove and keep any shim washers) [Would be best to re-shim anyway] Use Isopropyl alcohol to clean the grease off and get some new light silicone grease. Might need a new O-ring for the piston if its old and hard. AK2M4 is a great guy and you can trust whatever he recommends.

That perfect for a DMR as long as its locked to semi only
-
Yeah, Vorsk are definitely not the best make. I got their VP-X and VX-9 and they did need some tinkering to shoot well. Nothing major just dismantling and re-lubing. Most other makes are better but if you like the look of a Vorsk I'd say go for it. Test it well within the return period to make sure it works. The problem with all 1911's is their very small magazines that don't hold much gas. You'd be better off looking at a Hi-Capa. Are you looking at something like this: Nuprol Vorsk Hi-Capa 5.1 Split Slide Red/Black (krale.shop) (Don't get the WE Galaxy, its terrible 🤣)

As Shamal said, you'll be able to post an add here: Electric Pistols - Airsoft Forums UK (airsoft-forums.uk) But you'll need a few interactions with the forum first to prove you're not a robot 🤖
-
Yeah, mine works really well. I tend to prefer shorter arms but its cool to use the L1A1 sometimes
-
Welcome 🖐 Duno that area but you're lucky to have a place close by especially if you like it.
-
Yes, its legal to sell it to anyone over 18 but if they do something stupid like walk into a bank with it then it may be traced back to you so do your best to make sure the buyer isn't a loony. You'll be able to sell here in classifieds after interacting a bit with the forum.

Yeah, active breaking is very hard on motors. Luckily there is a lot of leeway for adjusting the motor height and it only causes a problem at the extremes. In some gearboxes there's a window to see the Pinion and Bevel gears mesh together. This way you can remove the grips so you can see the engagement and mark the adjuster screw where it should be. If there isn't a window in the gearbox its possible to drill a small observation hole but obviously at a risk. Another effecive but long way is to open the gearbox and attach the motor to the half shell so you can see the gears mesh clearly. Mark the adjustment and its perfect. Most people will just screw it all the way in and then undo one or two turns. (Listen to it as you undo half a turn at a time)

Go for the one you like the look of. As above, Specna and DoubleEagle are both recommended, just avoid Nuprol. Check the body material if that's important to you. Some are polymer and some are metal. Not much structural difference between them but the weight is different if that's something you care about. Following from what Roger said above, first thing to do when you receive your new toy is CLEAN THE BARREL. A strip of cloth with Isopropyl alcohol or window cleaner attached to the cleaning rod. Then the fun bit, thoroughly test it by shooting a good couple of hundred BBs through it to make sure it works properly within the 14 day returns window. Then go and have fun with it at a game site 😀
