    Just ignore the whole thing, as everyone should.

    Forgot to update this thread. In the end I went for a ZCI 22tpa motor, quite slow but the semi cycle time on a 11.1 is good. The gearbox shell, though is utter shit, or the motor is, or the grip, I can't figure it out -.- I can't properly shim it, I did the good ol' spur first but the bevel wants to sit really high. Tried bevel to pinion, the bevel now has zero shims on top yet it appears to be too tight, moreover the ZCI motor is really pushing against the bevel even with the grip adjustment screw completely removed. I thought it was the gearbox shell being a bit shit, so I bought an 8mm one but the bearings I got (SHS) must've been a friday night job and they don't spin -.- stayed up until 2 AM last night to try and figure out what was going on and I'm really pissed. I'll see if I can pick up a set of decent bushings later today and try again -.-

    So, I got a new gearbox shell for my pdw but it's an utter cunt to shim (Also I think I got a bad set of SHS bearings but they'll have to do since I don't have any spares).

    I'm gonna try the bevel to pinion method, spur first worked with every single AEG I've worked on apart from this little piece of shit.

     

    Fuck me :(

    It's a bit of a heresy, but I use it with my M4s too sometimes and I have no issues with drawing mags. One thing that would help is to make small spacer blocks to lift mags up a bit Not a permanent modification so whenever you decide to run an AK you can simply remove them.

    Can't find decent m4 mag pouches :(

      Aye, which is made more confusing by the 'Fits one M4/M16 magazine, alternatively one M14 or G36 mag, or any magazine in similar size. ' in the description haha.

      I've just been using cheapo condor open top (the ones with the bungee cord retention) on my belt setup. Outdoor in pissing it down rain, brambles, mud, all sorts and have been working fine for me the past few years. That's including me swapping them out with a budget taiwangun pistol mag pouch for my VSR mags pretty much every game. Not really something that would fit the 'look' though I imagine 😄

      Thanks for the suggestions :D

       

      I have been using those condor cheapo ones for ages and they performed relatively well, but I am slowly replacing all the clone pouches with the real deal (getting rid of those too).

       

      KYWIs are impossible to find.

       

      In the meantime, I have found Helikon competition pouches and Templars TACO clones, both reasonably priced. I have abandoned the quest for closed top pouches because it's either TMC or Crye with not much choice in between -.-

    You need a smersh ❤️

    My ultra heretic 5.56 AK flash mags arrived. I'm seriously impressed with the quality, they're Cymas and feel really sturdy. Sure as hell better than the 5.45 flash mag I already have. In the meantime, I ordered 2 SHS QD bearing spring guides for my Specnas, a new 8mm QC gearbox for my KA PDW and another bag of 0.28s.

    More and more technical issues, I am definitely cursed. So the King Arms PDW does not like ZCI hop units, couldn't feed a single round. The specna 933 acted funny all day, sounded shit in full auto (as if it was going to jam) so I stuck to semi. Nonetheless I had fun today, the lack of confidence among team members is showing (we have mostly new/inexperienced people now) and we need to sort that out asap. Next Sunday, PDW time (AK if I feel like it and the new high caps actually feed). Meanwhile I need to stock 60° hop rubbers as 50s appear to be too soft for my 933.

    Measure the inner diametre of the cylinder and the piston travel. Subtract the airbrake length from said travel, calculate cylinder volume. At least it's what I did with my T-11, piston travel on a vsr is roughly 90mm and the ratio for a 0.48 should be around 3.5:1 (which is only a guess as 1tonne's guide only goes up to 0.45g, either way a slightly overvolumed gun isn't bad at all) maths are cylinder radius^2 x piston travel length x pie / barrel radius^2 x barrel length x pie With my setup (TM spec cylinder, an effective travel of 66.2mm, 6.03x300AA inner) I have a 3.21:1 ratio, but my airbrake is 24mm long. With an airbrake, sorbo thickness is irrelevant as the actual useable volume ends when the airbrake enters the nozzle.

    Link to this review? I don't think I'm hating my life enough today

    Gud. I'm considering moving from the warfet to either a titan or a Perun on my ak, just to eliminate the semi lockup and have more battery space available for spicy 11.1s

    Just committed a war crime, bought a set of 5.56 ak magazines for my 74u. Along with some gas cans (duster, green, red) and a bunch of bags of BLS 0.28s.

    insane ROF but you lose the last round hold open.

    Cool, thanks for correcting me but fuck off really

    ireland (1J limit) 100m range. What the fuck?

    TM clone, so I reckon any TM spec MP5 magazine catch will do
  18. Skara
    It's cheap, it's lightweight, works well, has good iron sights, takes cheap glock magazines, there's a whole host of cosmetic and performance upgrades available. What more can you ask? I say AA got it extremely right from the start. But now they need to hurry the fuck up and release the goddamn M-Lok handguard.

    Depends on the gun, what are we talking about?

    You need some short stroke buffers methinks

    Same here when I started. It was either TM/CA/ICS (for well over €300) or JG/Asia Electric for €150, and back then JGs and the likes would rarely survive three skirmishes in a row without stripping something or blowing up.

    Mhm, usually no. When parts break people generally use aftermarket parts, unless the broken bit is proprietary, in that case you're in for a whole lot of pain because certain brands/parts are absolutely impossible to find or are so expensive that it turns out cheaper to just buy a whole new gun instead. Your best bet would be to look at retailers boneyard sections, you might find an almost complete gun at a real bargain price to source spares from. In theory a manual with an exploded diagram should be included with the gun, failing that it's always worth to send the OEM a mail asking for the diagram of your gun (listing model, year blah blah blah all the boring details).

    And just like that, TriggerHappy is back from the dead

    THIS. By buying a G&G you're paying for the brand, not the item. Also they've gone apeshit crazy with their proprietary magazine pricing...
