well, mg42's back together and firing fine, although i think i might need a more robust regulator for the mag as it may have slightly exploded
-
Mg42 is back, forgot how massive that thing is, some final test fitting just to check everything lines up and some wiring and it'll be back in action!
Its now super heavy though, the reciever is almost entirely filled with steel
-
well ir torch arrived, works a treat, now i just need an offset mount and perhaps a killflash
-
let me know what you come up with because this annoys me too. at least until i get around to seeing if i can get this solenoid idea to work.
-
guess that makes a bit more sense, give the bolt action guys a bit of motivation.
-
hmmm, wonder when gate is planning on making a v6 etu....

the f2000 runs a different cutoff lever to the p90, it's basically the same trigger unit but on the back left side of the gearbox.
to clarify it does run on semi but jams up if you try to double tap, not so much a problem outdoors as you just give em a burst.
ironically the ak has the opposite problem, if only i could average out my issues lol
-
fair play, still seems like strange site requirement, fair enough limit the player to firing 1 round per second but insisting the gun is set up specifically to do that is a bit far.
-
Well, we've been learning things today, like my m4 wants more power than my battery is happy supplying, back to the m16 stock methinks.
However, it is a freaking monster, it now 3rnd bursts quicker than it used to fire semi.....
-
Seems strange, i mean apart from the gate titans i cant think of an etu that would have a timed trigger delay, although plenty lock to semi only.
-
Probably not worth putting in a fancy enough mosfet that would have programmable trigger delay. Unless they just mean you arent allowed to just spam the trigger.
-
I think he means more the solid "click" you get in a trigger on a real gun, or on a gbb as opposed to the squishy nothingness that you get on most aeg triggers.
-
Not that i know of, theyre mostly terrible. The best i've seen is still more like a mouse click than a proper trigger. The newer mosfets certainly improve responsiveness but not the pull itself. You're better off sticking to gbb's if that's what you're after, or until something new comes on the market.

so yesterday i was in the sirsoft shop, and i forgot to get a front sight for my newly acquired hicapa.....
-
well, re-jigged the m4 belt rig again, decided not to go for the separate pistol belt and it seems nicely balanced atm.

The surefire vampire series of IR torches are very good weapon lights they pop up on real steel facebook groups every now and then. The head rotates between a white LED and an IR LED so it is basically 2 in 1 the IR signature to the naked eye is very low from those lights aswell. if you want some vids i can get some tonight for you?

It takes experience, start with working on your own stuff and build from there. Most jobs arent too bad, the basic principles of the guns are the same and fundamental skills like soldering, drilling and tapping properly, the basic principles of fault finding etc are mostly universal. To quote my grandfather you need to know 2 things to fix something- what it's meant to do and how its meant to do it. I generally do all my own tech work, the only time i go to the shop is when its something that might need their resources, for example when sorting the ascu2 cutoff lever we literally ended up fishing through a box of assorted cutoff levers to find the 1 lever that had the correct throw for the switch. Fortunately our relationship is pretty decent insofar as they'll let me just tear away. Youtube videos can be great for sanity checking, for example if somethings a bit stiff and youre not sure if you should just force it or if there's some sneaky hidden pin/screw that you dont know is there. The other thing that helps is getting the proper tools for the job, for example you can use a screwdriver as a ghetto punch but in the long term the proper tool will make the job easier and less damaging, or you can use a standard alan key set with ball ends but proper hex drivers are an absolute dream by comparison and are less likely to round, same applies to keeping stock of spare screws that you can dig through and find a proper replacement. Also remember if you're resorting to ptfe tape on a component that didnt originally come with it on you've already lost (this has nothing to do with the amount of unnessecary ptfe tape i pulled out of a mates gun when i was working on it, nothing at all ) The only other thing is an attitude of doing things right, as a friend of mine says "you say you dont have time to do it right but you have time to do it twice", sure it might mean your pew is out of action while waiting for a part but that just means you dont have enough backups....

Existance is pain....
