Burn the witch!

Define "hot". If hot as in temperature, yes it'll get warmer than with a 7.4/8.4. If hot as in over the site/legal energy limit, bollocks, it's an old popular belief that doesn't make any sense On a stock gearbox with stock motor a 11.1v battery will just up the RPS to just shy of 20, most likely in the 18/19 region, at those levels the piston won't commit sudoku (I know, shut up) unless it's pulling a M150 or the shimming is atrocious. It'll slowly burn the trigger contacts, but since it's an Edge we are talking about, the X-ASR mosfet will prevent that. Go get them batteries.

I also found Guarder springs to be rather soft for what they're rated at, a SP100 gave me barely 1J on the striker and a SP90 got my old ARP (180mm inner) to barely 0.65/0.7J. Btw, SP and M ratings are done with different bb weights, M springs are supposed to give you the number (in m/s) on 0.20g bbs, so a M100 means 100 m/s on 0.2s, whereas the SP springs are measured with 0.25s, again a SP100 would give you 100 m/s on 0.25g (around 112 m/s on 0.20s). That's the theory anyway. Meanwhile a SHS M90 spring in the striker gave me 1.2J easy (300mm inner and a cylinder volume not far from a full v2 one), the same spring also gave me 110 m/s on 0.2s in my specna 933 (3/4 cylinder, 260mm inner). Most likely a combination of the two. Also you mentioned that utter POS ProShit hop unit, did you keep the same unit throughout the test? Or did you go and swap it at some point? IKR, the FCU is the main selling point of the whole line fucking TM recoil syndrome right there

Aap and drum mag, for example

Don't get me started on arp mags lol. They are the reason why I sold mine and went with the KA pdw

I see the gearbox front part of the shell cracking like crazy with that alu cylinder head, esp on a crappy G&G box

Yup, especially when the drum mag is sold at an extra -.- Would say €400/450 tops for that thing (drum included)

Yup, can't go wrong with two AAPs

These lovely things just got delivered ❤️

Then you may want to check this thread in which I go through the process of building a nice snappy (sort of) budget AEG

This is why I'm buying an AS-03 next year, universal backup that doesn't require anything but BBs

Wouldn't go with a flat hop (or R-Hop) either, since both will turn out much more expensive than a Maple Leaf rubber and tensioner for very similar results. A chrono is mandatory when working on guns, you don't want to take the walk of shame because you turned up with a crisp sounding and beautifully working gun that fires way too hot

Those drills are at least 30 years old, my dad bought 5 at the time, 4 are still perfect, one is for spare parts just a little bit of basic maintenance every now and then. I also have a battery powered drill but it's not as powerful so it doesn't get used much and yes, corded > battery all day.

Yup, don't think I'll need it though, I already have some pretty powerful corded drills. But after all it's just €20, might buy it in the near future.

It's my first dremel so https://www.dremeleurope.com/it/it/dremel®4000-686-ocs-p/ Sorry for pasta language but it's this one

Heh the 3000 was on offer for €50 at the local store and I was tempted. But then found the 4000 4/56 kit for €100 posted and couldn't say no

Might have just bought a dremel 4000... Need to skeletonize all the things!!

You're asking questions that are WAY above our pay grade

AA's packaging design is a bit shit, let's hope that the content doesn't match the box

This box just showed up

And void any warranty

Not quite 15 metres, but you get the point. There is a certain distance in which the BB doesn't seem to be affected by the backspin (varies from gun to gun, but let's say 5/6 metres in which the bb flies in line with the barrel), so a 5 metre range doesn't really show anything (a la Airsoft Mike). To the OP, I would first of all go through 6/7/8 magazines without caring too much about accuracy, then test on a longer range, say 15 to 20 metres, hop completely off vs hop completely on vs hop properly set for the bb weight you're using. To eliminate external factors, rest the gun on a bench/table/chair and record the results. Also let's keep in mind that: it's a brand new gun, the hop rubber will most likely need bedding in along with purging excess lubricant (you know, some guns are caked in grease/oil from factory for "protection" during shipping); it's VFC OEM'd;
