Stock GHK (has a MV of around 1.5j) and in this review they claim it has a effective range of 70m and the GHK uses AEG spec barrels and bucking's so the Mythbusters would def say plausible and these guys seem to be pretty thurow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIuDh8HcMQ8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIuDh8HcMQ8 (around the 6.20 mark)

Do a lot of lurking so felt I should contribute something, even its just this pish. Glock triggers are wank, soft and mushy as my little man after 10 pints! Just did this to a mates so thought I would stick up a pic. 2.5mm hole, 3mm grub screw (6mm long in this case) and tap. By adding the grub screw you are preloading the trigger using the trigger bar. Spend the money you save on an adjustable trigger and get some stronger trigger springs for a better than the real one, pull and reset https://www.rainbow8.com/collections/glock-series/products/customized-production-steel-trigger-level-spring-150-for-marui-g-series The hop up and thus barrel sit very loose on the frame, by adding some shimming (in this case self sticking steel shim tape) to the frame where the hop unit locks in to you can remove 99% of the play thus leading to be much more accurate. Go slow, fit the hop and barrel to the frame without the slide and outer barrel and leave it loose enough so you can still disassemble. For shimming you can use just about anything paper/card with glue even fuzzy side Velcro. Will post up the barrel drop mod next time i do it if anyone cares. Any mods you could share and add some value to this post? Cheers big ears.

Its basically HPA without the tank and hose, but the best thing is it lets you keep the control manipulation the same. I can mag dump a direct filled Co2 mag 3 times with snow on the ground with 0 ROF cool downs. Only reason to pick a GHK over a TM (unless you have a real hard on for trigger feel) You can also run them on anything using the WA style system such as VFC, G&P ETC by adjusting the valves knocker (just filing it down a bit). Good vid on setting up a home fill station, makes using Co2 it super cheap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0fkXxNQDhc

https://core-airsoft.com/product/preorder-dh-mod-filling-kit/ as you need a pain in the bum adapter to use Sodastream. The madbull charger is good but you only need the top bit and will only fit a Co2 "Paintball Tank", if you use it with the reg it will not let liquid Co2 into the magazine and instead of getting 350 + shots off on one fill you will get like 20. Another option to use Sodastream is the palmers pursuit adapter, then the madbul or other filler, but shipping is hugely expensive https://palmerspursuit.com/products/soda-maker-carbonator-charger-refill-adapter-825x14-ngo-male-paintball-threads-to-female-course-thread If Co2 seems to much to sort out loads of people have done the "DH mod" and have GG valves kicking around so a wanted add on here or as Shaydee says the Facebook group should get you some for a good deal. https://samoon.com.tw/ has everything you need spares wise, shipping is around $30 US but only takes about 4-8 days to arrive from Taiwan.

My old man and a lot of 2nd bat Scotsguards, had climbers chalk pouches around 82 in Hong Kong.

And when you finally go to buy it after all that time its unavailable https://www.amazon.com/LubeLife-Personal-Lubricant-Lube-Parabens/dp/B07FMGNV51

I took a glue gun and covered all the exposed solder on the micro switches and board. I have had issues that arise when using in the wet that thankfully solve themselves when its had time to dry out. Cage Airsoft brought out a new circuit that looks do have done the same, only used it a few times since but so far so good.

Mine just hit the 15k rounds mark with 0 issues and was bought off here second hand. I use it when I don't fancy lugging GBBR mags and accoutrements around all day. As far as recoil go's its a bit weird as its more on the forward stroke than into the shoulder but am probably spoilt with the feel of a GHK running direct fill Co2. Talk of GBLS bringing out a Pistol as well as a new rev to the mechbox so if it was me looking to buy one and I could hold off I would wait till this time next year for the new build. No issues with grip changes and the coof got the better of me so had it in bits to do a bit of waterproofing on the electronics and is no harder disassembly wise than its TM counter parts. Thanks for the write up and review mightyjebus was a good read. Obligatory bad photo

My GHK & DAS. Not messed with them for a few weeks so I think I can temp fate and say they are done.

I take it everything is new? What specific propellant are you using? Does it happen if dry firing? Somethings to check - With the gun split when you cock the hammer does the valve knocker (the bit sticking in the magwell) retract all the way back? If not it could be resting on the valve impeding it closing. Are the valves tight in the magazines? Again if the valves are sitting to fare out the valve knocker will not let them close properly. Should just be hand tight, torqueing will squash the brass. Remove the buffer and spring, drop 5 10p coins into the buffer reassemble and try. You are short stroking the system to check to see if the bolt return is resetting the valve knocker quick enough. Split the gun, check to see if the G5 and STANAGS sit in the magwell at the same height. You are making sure the valves and knockers line up the same. Swap the valves over to one that works and give it a try. Seals could be dry. Remove valves stick them in a plastic bag, soak in oil and work the valve making sure to get oil on the internal o-rings. Leave overnight. Doing this to make sure the o-rings have enough lube to function and are not impeding the return spring in the valve. Let me know how you get on.

My advice before moving on anything go to as many sites as you can and have a chat with the people and the operators. Try and at least have a chat so when it comes time to open you are at least on a "hello" basis and you may be able to arrange to have games days that don't conflict and push business each others way. Always nice to have someone to call closeish by in case your pallet of BBs is found to have an endangered species nest of voles in and cant be moved so can pop over and grab some at short notice ETC Props and toys are something to invest in, for instance having a manikin (or even a very large marshal) on a stretcher can make a game feel epic and is just essentially a bog standard capture the flag game mode. Rentals make the money, try and have a marshal to look after just the rentals and give them the best day possible. Future players and future private parties will come of it. Good luck in the venture, always nice to hear of another possible site opening up.

You can shorten the inner barrel or purchase one with a wider ID. GBB work on a flute valve system resting on a spring, gas travels through the system and when enough presser is built up, the valve is forced forward redirecting the gas to propel the slide/bolt to the rear. Just like an AEG you can cut or use a softer spring in the nozzle to reduce the muzzle energy. You can use HFC134A (duster gas) to drop the FPS even further but you lose recoil and thus some of the fun factor.

About the issue of projectile weight, erm lets call them "jewellers scales" have come down in price dramatically as checking the weight of "gold" has become more common. They are tiny and very accurate and even the cheap ones go down to .1 of a gram. Could be easy to carry with a chrono, pop bb out the mag, weight it, stick the mag back in and then run it through the chrono.

After doing crush tests, I can attest that heavier BB crumbs taste considerably different to .2 crumbs. Not sure it adds any value to the discussion but thought it was worth noting

Its to personal to answer I think, I bought a GBLS DAS off these forums to try, if for some reason did not feel like running around with 12 gas mags and a Sodastream bottle all day, it got used for 20 mins and not touched it since. I have used Co2 powered GHK M4s since 2016 and I simply don't enjoy playing with AEGs at all any more to the point that if whatever reason my 3 GBBR died I would just sit in the safe zone and social rather than play with an AEG. I think its a "you do you" type of decision.

I am now 100% fully domesticated, thought the "boots" one meant the shop! Was like huh what does it matter if he spends big in boots I don't even shop there.

I have never liked PALLS attachment on chest rigs always seems to add to much bulk. I used to have an LBT 1961 but sold it and regretted it ever since. I saw these for sale awhile ago and gave it a punt https://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/lbx-0062-lock--load-chest-rig-21201-p.asp love mine to death!! Review of it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWRJa4sqC-4

Its almost as good as HPA without the hose and tank. Aye drop a steel buffer and a 300% recoil spring and its orgasmic. Hes a bit long winded in the video but it gives you some idea of the performance of one using Co2.

I would go for a classic CQBR setup can get really good Wilcox replica mounts and almost perfect LMT stock replicas off AliExpress nowadays for not very much money. I wish I was close to you to let you have a blast with one of my mags with Co2 valves in filled with Co2, the recoil and constancy is amazing. Hope you have as much fun as I do with mine. If you have not already join the "ghk master race" group on Facebook has huge amounts of info.

Got a Reptilia RMR mount for the bendy boi but not really liking it. Will prob end up with one of them Arisaka 45" T1/T2 mounts. Really loving the performance since swapping to Co2 although the guy down at the pub supply thinks I am doing something nefarious with all the Co2 am buying

Thanks for the reply. Aye just trying to utilise the sound amplification so in theory even if playing the music you can still hear what's going on. Think I might have to get a duel PTT or something rigged up.

So I have a Peltor Comtac III headset and to run the standard mic you need and amplified PTT otherwise VON is really quite. I bought a 3.5mm audio plug to go in the other mic socket to listen to music or the odd time using an android program to communicate. The issue I am having is the sound volume is super low I am thinking I need to "amplify" it in some way? Anyone know of an amp to go between the cable and the device? Or any advice on how to up the volume without going through a PTT? 3.5 mm cable https://3mpeltor.earshotcommunications.co.uk/product/3m-peltor-fl6n/ Attaching a photo as to converse a thousand words and all that. I know its very niche subject but am always surprised about the amount of knowledge kicking around here. Thanks very much for any help.

Without a photo its hard to tell but a hook wrench with a round nose does the trick on Geissele, BCM ETC https://www.amazon.co.uk/Larcele-Crescent-Adjustable-Spanner-YYBS-01/dp/B07JPHMPF6/ref=sr_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=Hook+Wrench&qid=1619905202&s=diy&sr=1-13

I would say yes, as they get older they tend to crack and flake off. I would have a look at a how to guide on youtube. Mat black is very forgiving I would not bother with an undercoat, sand upto about 1200 grit and seal it with spay polyurethane.

Not had a chance to use it in a game yet but could not resit wearing it out for a walk with the dogs in the hills, the carbon fibre like martial in the cummband is amazing and the fact the shoulder straps are part of the plate bag spread the weight out so much better. The SPC might look like a JPC but is on another level in comfort when you start adding even light weight to it. if you have to be a tart and wear plate bags rather than a chest rig, you have to give the SPC a go.
