  1. Let's play a game:

    Guess what makes my AK mosfet overheat and shut down?

     

    (I have no clue btw, I am opening it right now)

      Mosfet is brand new btw and I've put around idk, 400 shots through it? :P

       

      My guess is that the last time I worked on it (swapped gears, short stroked and installed the new mosfet) I slightly messed up the bevel gear's shimming, so that now it's too tight against the pinion and creates enough unnecessary friction to overheat the wiring (so the mosfet goes in protection mode and shuts itself down).

      This issue happened on a very warm day to say the least (it was mid summer and about 35/36°) and I haven't touched the gun since.

       

      As I said earlier I only use 7.4s in that gun because that's all it can fit.

       

      @ak2m4yes, loads of grappa, especially in this temperature :D

      I use a 7.4v 1450mAh 30c in there because it's the only battery I own that fits under the dust cover.

      Gun is running on 12:1 gears (short stroked by 2) and a SHS m90 spring, so it's not like there's much load on the motor (which is the stock E&L M170, basically a rebranded SHS HT motor). ROF is in the 22s with said 7.4 battery and a touch over 30 with a 11.1v one.

       

      I have the same internals on my two M4s with different MOSFETs (one runs on a Titan, the other on a Perun v2 optical) and none of those ever showed any sign of overheating.

       

      All I did yesterday was remove the gearbox from the body because i had other things to do, but tomorrow it's national holiday so I have plenty of time to sort it out.

  4. And the E&L curse just hit me too.

     

    Didn't touch the rifle for a while, now it's rusted to all fuck -.-

     

    Oh well, time to make it look battle worn -.-

  5. Can't be arsed to start jogging or going to the gym.

     

    Might get back to BMX/MTB riding...

    Oh well, another 5k down the drain :D

  7. Looking for opinions from you lot... What sidearm should I run with my m21 once it's HPA? My mk23 or my p226? NBB or GBB? Both fire all year round pretty reliably (even in winter) and both shoot about as far as each other as I've done exactly the same build in each for hop and barrel setup.

     

    The main differences come in the silence of the mk23 compared to the fun-factor and easier, faster, snappier shooting with the p226. Silence is important, because I tend to dress up like a bush and play super sneaky, but with the m21 being super silent and at 1.1J (and therefore no MED), will I need the silence or the rapid shooting in a sidearm?

     

    Decisions decisions... Might require a bit of field testing

  8. odd thought on cylinder compression etc.  i have a secondhand CM16 shorty firing at 297fps.  i assume the interior is the same as the longer barreled version.... so would that mean i may see a jump by putting in a longer barrel?  else they would have different cylinders or fire with a lower fps than this one?  (this is ignoring the airseal)


  9. Are those Gate EU Warfet things worth it?  do they do much being just wired in the battery compartment?

  10. Tournament today.

    600km drive, slept 3 hours and I'm pissed off already. First cunt who doesn't call hits is getting a buttstock in his teeth.

     

    If that wasn't enough now teammates are asking me for extra batteries and shit.

  13. I give up.

    Either SHS springs aren't what it says on the package or I got everything wrong in my life.

    229mm barrel, 3/4 cylinder, great air seal. Two teeth removed from the sector.

    SHS m100 chronos at 1.25J

    What the fuck?

     

  14. Fancy a long range pewpew.

     

    I have an option on a fully EdGI HTI (which means i will need to sell on an TM 416 to free up some money) or wait out for the Tac41 and then maybe upgrade later.... tough choice

  15. Ok email from UPS..pay £109 to release your package. (Handling fees & tax) - Ok, paid.... Update!!! Your new delivery date is 30th June...11:00-15:30... Ummm, thanks UPS.  Your shit!!!!

  16. great.

    my hadron short stroke kits have been blocked by customs.

     

    I bet the officer will tell me they're worth €500 just to charge me an additional €50 or so for "handling"

  18. Team meeting in 30 minutes, teaching a bunch of untrained chimpanzees how to read and use a map is going to be fun :D

  20. Tfw you replace a 50° rubber with a 70 and you gain 0.2J 😕

    bollocks.

  21. Need DMR ideas. Want to make one but everything seems dull at the moment.

  22. Car-15 style slim handguard yay or nay?

  24. And then there was one...
    Only my SRS left, as I bid farewell to my trusty Vector 😞
