Just ordered a HPA kit from Airtac, 0.8l alu tank + line + airtac regulator. € 180 posted, just €20 more expensive than a balystik hpr800c + tank + line setup from a semi-local shop but I get lifetime warranty on the reg which is a nice plus.

Monk Customs is having a 40% off on their angled HPA adapters for their 5 year anniversary... So I snagged a black skeletonized one for my AAPs. Fuuck I'm turning into a speedsofter...

Wet day = fun day. 9 people on the field, played in the lower part (steeper, denser vegetation, best part imo), started off meh but picked up from the 2nd game on. 1st outing for the 40 RPS brushed pdw dsg, performed okay on 0.28s but the hop up needs revised, a bit too much vertical spread. For the last two games I switched to the brushless SSG M4, this too was fine for the most part. Decently consistent at 36 RPS.

Yes, but Sudoku sounds funnier and catches people off guard Here we call it Harakiri I suppose you don't have access to a stock G&G mosfet unit to swap the ETU++ for and rule out any possible faults on that side eh? How are the various connectors? Solid? Wonky? Have you tried a different battery? (even better would be to try with a different motor as well)

By Perun mosfet I assume you have something that plugs into the G&G trigger board, ETU++ or the older ETU Upgrade Kit. Can you confirm? For how long have you owned the RIF? G&G ETU trigger boards are notoriously flimsy and their microswitches (they have three, one for the trigger, one for the cutoff lever and one for the selector plate) tend to commit sudoku pretty frequently. Another option would be a semi-loose motor connector. Worst case the motor is getting tired

it's a magazine design flaw, the wheel is way too undersized to lift that many BBs without needing constant winding. When I had the ARP-9 I had the same issue, experienced the same with MP5 mags, and now that I have a Specna X01 that uses very similar, if not identical mags, the same bollocks occur These guns shine with midcaps or drums, highcaps unfortunately are shit by design.

1x Begadi Neptun M4 hop unit, 1x Begadi MHP5 in 60° 1x Begadi SHP5 in 60° 1x Begadi M150 spring ordered on Tuesday, delivered 10 minutes ago. Hopefully these will sort my brushless DSG's power, feeding and range/consistency. This way I can also start fucking off Maxx units from my guns Also, from skirmshop: 1x Stalker Morpheus Carbon 155x6.05 (this one should've been 3mm longer to match my current chopped barrel, but I reckon it's going to be fine) 1x Stalker Morpheus Carbon 185x6.05 1x Stalker 60° R-Hop patch

Bit of an odd game today. Premise: there are two main Airsoft federations here, one is FIGT (which we're part of) the other being FIPS. My region has, or rather had, a very strong FIPS presence until very recently, now clubs are switching over to ours because it's objectively less crap. So we got invited to a big two faction game which also gave us the chance to have a talk with the various ex FIPS clubs.. Well, game wise it was a standard two faction game with a few objectives to conquer and a final phase where our side had to defend a downed pilot from the bad blue banded people. Initial phase kicked off with a very nice firefight right outside our base, that we won because of better tactics than the opponents (flanking, proper use of available cover and terrain) which led us to a very early push for the enemy HQ. This is where things went a bit sideways because I went with a mega flank with my actual team (8 people) only to discover that the opponents had somehow acquired secret squirrel technology and had force fields around them. We learned how much physical pain people can endure (in terms of how many BBS to the face they took while not calling hits). This went on for a while, until all my teammates bar me got hit and went back to regen, leaving me alone to fight off a bunch of angry defenders. The most surprising fact, though, is that everyone stopped paying attention to the loud DSG going off behind them, no idea why, but it let me get about 20 kills before I ran out of BBs, at no point I got hit, I simply picked up my spent mags and regrouped with my teammates. 2nd HQ push was almost the same, but this time I got even more kills but my approach to the situation changed, I didn't play for the objective anymore and just sat behind a tree doing stress tests of the gun. Again, ran out of BBs, helped a fellow red band to find his mate and walked back to our HQ without being hit once. Final phase of the game was a mega push from the opposition to our HQ, where a downed pilot was being held hostage. This part of the game saw me sitting behind a boulder dumping mag after mag at clueless people, some took the hit, others didn't until they walked in the "pain" zone but in general it was a cosplay of Napoleonic wars instead of coordinated attacks. Again, ended up being alone against pretty much the whole blue faction, managed to fend off the attack and the game ended as I loaded my last magazine. Blatant cheating apart, it was a decent day on a new but very interesting field not far from home (1h drive, considering that our own field is a 40m drive). Guns: the brushless DSG struggled to properly feed but I blame it on the latest batch of 0.32s being shit. The theory is confirmed by how bad my other guns are performing lately and in fact, once someone lent me a magazine filled with G&G 0.28s, it fed ALL the BBs, so I'm switching to those for a while, but apart from that I'm not 100% satisfied with the performance, I think I can squeeze a little more range and consistency out of it so I'm mostly likely going to order a few hop rubbers to try (or maybe attempt a R-Hop). 35 RPS on a 7.4v is nice though, maybe a little too much for certain situations. And I definitely need a M150 to bring it to the limit. Also brought the 7" brushless SSG but didn't use it, in all fairness I should have brought the mk23 as well because it's a "pocket" sniper rifle and would have allowed for some spicy memes. Gear wise, ran my Mayflower chest rig, FRV belt and Pentagon flatpack clone. 1L of water, 2 kilogrammes of 0.32s, A-Tacs iX top with my RG trousers. Would I do all this again? Eeh, hard to tell, the mode was somewhat okay even though some rules weren't clear and others were abused, as mentioned above hit calling degraded over time but that is to be expected because people get pretty pissed off when hit from seemingly nowhere over and over again and make stupid decisions.

It's called light striking. My gen 3 TM G17 does the same with green gas in late spring to autumn.. It is also magazine (or rather fill valve) dependant. Noticed that short fill valves tend to aggravate the issue because of the higher overall pressure stored inside the mag, whereas long fill valves don't allow as much.

Alright. It's been two weeks now, I rebuilt the 7" M4 because I wanted to squeeze a little more RPS and a little more snappiness on semi. I went from 13:1 -1t and a m105 spring to 12:1-4 and a m110 spring, still on a warhead 36k powered by a 7.4v 1800mAh 65c. Gained 4 rounds per second (25 now) and a silly stupid shot to shot consistency in semi auto (less than ±0.5 m/s) but as soon as I try to set the hop, I get a weird but very consistent power loss of about 3/4 m/s. Compression set is exactly the same bar the cylinder size (went for a more aggressive porting that slightly bumped up the power while remaining overvolumed to push 0.32s) and gearbox timing, which was a bit off in the previous iteration and now it's great given that out of 15 shots the lowest was 100 m/s and the highest 100.6 on 0.2s, similar results but obviously lower for 0.32s. The thing is driving me nuts because this gun used to do the opposite, it gained a little more power by adjusting the hop. Tried with the previous cylinder but overall power dropped a little, both on 0.2s and 0.32s. Tried a couple of different tappet plates, tried a couple of different hop rubbers (both style and hardness), tried lightening the piston assembly by removing the bearing but it made things worse so now the bearing is back in place, also added a washer to the piston to give it more weight but unfortunately couldn't fix the issue. Also noticed that the sound changes dramatically when adding hop, the gun does NOT pme, piston moves freely, after 1000 shots there is no damage to the piston or the sector. Air seal is spot on. I just want my extra power back Pls help.

Could be much, much worse. Trust me, I have worse, much worse. At the end of the day it's the user, not the gnu

First game with the brushless wanker gun is over. Couple of things: It has a weird feeding issue where a fully wound up Lonex flash mag would skip a couple of BB right away, but then feeds perfectly; Slight whining sound, could be shimming or motor angle, will have to check; It's an economical disaster, ate through 2 kilogrammes of 0.32s and is a thirsty twat as well, bringing a fully charged 7.4v 1800mAh 65c battery from 98% to 32%. But it does encourage people to call their hits because 33 angry balls per second flying towards you aren't pleasant. Game wise, was a fun day, only one incident where a kid wasn't happy with a very small burst (10 bbs or so) from afar and decided to not call it, only to be crapped on by my teammate (also DSG user) who was on his side. Need to adjust my play style and become a bit more selective when shooting, shorter bursts instead of longer FA when providing covering fire. On a side note I also brought the brushless SSG and it was a depressing experience, struggled to feed and keeps dropping power when applying hop (even though it's the same hop up-barrel setup I had for ages in that thing, all I did was redo the gears and replace the piston because it broke)..

1x set of Waldo silicone lubes (for the price of 50 ml here I got 150 ml of various viscosities) 1x CTM superlight bolt for my aap carbine. Now looking at GBB barrels....fuck....

That's because it's an Ares Amoeba handguard and they're shit. Replace it with a less shit one and it'll be fine. Try reverting to the stock one, I'm pretty sure this is the cause of your binding issues. My carbine AAP runs on the stock bolt with TTI selector charging handle and Hadron bouncer kit, 0 issues so far.

This would make me (and others) unable to enjoy the forums as foreigners This NEEDS to have a "message check" feature that makes sure the post is NOT identical to all the posts made to this day, I've seen a fair few scam/spam accounts create random threads with random messages copy-pasted from somewhere. For a time we saw quite a few people called John who had this 1911 that was misbehaving, while at the same time leaving a poorly hidden link to a Far East slot machine website. In general though, if you are getting scammed you kinda deserve it. Practices like asking for money via bank transfer or paypal friends & family should be immediate and very recognisable signs of someone who's not really interested in your item.. Also those who ask general questions like "is the item working?" or "does it fit me?" should tell loads about whoever you're engaging with.

Uhm, I don't think such selector plates can be found anymore.. Why don't you shim it so that it stays in place during firing? If you're really keen on not upgrading to a proper FCU (you have your reasons and nobody can force you) you may give it a "new" life with zero expense. Btw you should really install the ARL again, seems silly to me to rely on the motor alone to keep the gearbox from spinning the other way, unless you have some sort of uni directional motor, which is not the case since it's a SHS HT..

Oh god... Air brake piston head, ASCU, ARL removed That thing is straight outta the early '00s! If I'm not mistaken that thing still uses a cutoff lever to recognise the gearbox cycle... Which as elaborate as it can be it will never get rid of the occasional semi lockup. If you don't mind renovating the gun a little, I would suggest to get rid of the ASCU and install an optical FCU of some sort, I'm a big fan of the Perun Hybrid but Gate Titans/Asters work very well too. They eliminate the COL so the cycle detection is made by optical sensors, which also completely eliminates the chances of locking up in semi (gearbox always stops in the same position, every time)..

We were supposed to have a tournament yesterday but it was cancelled due to weather concerns, so instead I took 3 rifles apart, turned two into DSGs (5" abomination and 9mm pdw), cursed at the "regular" one (7" M4) for a while, then somehow half fixed it after taking it apart 50 times, currently waiting for a new cylinder because for some obscure reasons the piston head doesn't like the old cylinder anymore, even though it ran completely fine in it for two years. Also installed a few bits in my pistols. Teching is fun and relaxing they said.

Whatever is necessary as long as the thing I buy suits my needs. Sometimes I think I'm deranged when I look at how much I spent, just this summer my bank account got € 2000 lighter because I bought a thermal weapon sight, but that purchase enabled me to extend my effectiveness during night/long tournaments since now I can see people without being seen.. In any case, the things I buy are mostly genuine/RS, but for certain items that I don't have particular strength/durability/comfort requirements I'm fine with repros. Toy gnu wise, I could have spent a half of what I actually did, but I love to experiment and try out (some) novelties or different approaches. Also I like shiny new things so sometimes I end up with completely unnecessary stuff

Regarding my "Ran out of stuff to buy"... Blatant lie... 1x TTI AAP-01 hop up unit - goes in my AAP pistol; 1x TTI TM Glock hop up unit - goes in the unskirmished 6 Seconds TM Glock; 2x SHS 16:1 gearsets - one goes in my 7" M4, the other will probably end up in the 5" abomination for a meme DSG build; 1x SHS DSG sector gear - goes into my 5" abomination; 1x Airtech universal spring guide spacer set - 5" abomination; 1x SHS DSG spring guide spacer set - 5" abomination and maybe my DSG 9mm so I can run the RA spring guide again; 1x Lonex M130 spring - 5" abomination, probably; 1x fancy Retro Arms ARL - for testing mainly, goes into whichever M4 is opened first (possibly the 7" later this week, once all this shit arrives) 1x Gate Eon Tappet Plate - 5" abomination 1x PTS tappet plate spring - 5" abomination for testing

Pheas is the one I like the most out of the bunch you mentioned simply because he actually cracks open the guns he reviews so I can check the internals out beforehand.. Not that it matters anymore as every new gun I buy gets dissected immediately after leaving the box, but it's something EVERYONE should do. We all know where the fire selector on an M4 is. or where BBs go in a high cap. Those "reviews" are a waste of time for both the person doing it and the people who watch them. About reddit: I've read some interesting points of view, but also read through a ton of bullshit and plainly wrong information, it takes half a working brain to tell which one is which tbf.

My thinking was correct. Knocked off one tooth off the release side(s), BB velocity is now consistent between semi and full @39 RPS. Also found a random spring in my box o' bits that upped the energy to 1.05J before short stroking, now it's sitting at a very comfy 0.96J (98 m/s on 0.2s).

Not saying nobody should Everyone can do whatever they want with their hard earned, I just wouldn't buy it, I have an Odin and it's more than enough for my needs
