they do have semi afaik

and when e&l aksu's were super cheap on gunfire, really shoulda jumped on that bandwagon as i need another krink in my life, as good as the jg shoots i can't hang my 3-tonne pbs4 off the end....

funny that was the summation i've been working with for a while. good shooters but the external strength and finish aren't up to a par with the likes of e&l. although in fairness they're not exactly priced to compete.

supposedly that's that the likes of the 045 come with according to tg: https://www.taiwangun.com/assault-rifle-aeg/cm-045-cyma although there's steel and there's steel ofc.

fair enough, although i must confess to being curious about their newer ak's now they're steel recievers.

i'm assuming you're running a macaron or equivalent so the answer is i'd be surprised if it didnt.

well there's the cm045 which whilst not "tactical" is the kind of thing i'd suggest. edit: there's the 45a which is classic, the 045c is railed up and equivalents including the heretic edition for full length. tbh any of the metal bodied cyma ak range should be decent enough.

A man of taste and refinement

it's worth noting that whilst there is a subset of players who dislike "noobs" (and those players are assholes) most players don't give a damn if your gun is 2-toned. we all know it's a necessary evil and as long as it's not been done to anything particularly rare/nice you're not gonna be judged for it.

is that a fill port i see in the magazine? is that a fill port i see in the magazine?

i've never seen one before but i'm guessing it's a thread derailment

interesting to hear how the externals are for the newer models they've always seemed all right external wise, but by no means on a par with the premium brands in their respective categories. probably more evident on ak's than m4's admittedly.

well you know how a black hole sucks time and energy out of the universe, a white hole returns it

i've never seen one before but i'm guessing it's a white hole

tbh it really depends on the caliber of the shop/shop tech, sadly there are some that will just blindly do what the ticket asks without stopping to think "why are we fitting a picoaab when this gun already has a mosfet?" this is one of the reasons i advocate doing tech work yourself- at least then you know what's going on inside your gat.

secondhand could be the key then, previous owner could have had something with a burst in there. surprised the shop didn't bother to mention it.

guess that would depend on the shop, it might not have been the case, maybe there was an issue with the cutoff lever making it do something strange which they fixed when installing the new one. although by your reports it sounded like it was a consistent 3 shot burst which does sound like a mosfet functionality, did you get the gun new or secondhand?

me local had those in for a while, apparently they sold really well. although to who i don't know, i've never seen one fielded.

unported sounds right for a full length ak. if you're switching barrels then just keep as close to the stock length as you can. aeg's tend to be pretty forgiving on the whole voluming thing, it's really stuff like hpa's where volume matching becomes a real issue (although granted on hpa's you can also dial it in to perfection with relative ease)

to be clear: semi automatic=single shot=1 round per trigger pull which is how it's supposed to work- exactly as in your video multiple shots when in semi-auto means one of 2 things: -a fast build with no braking that's overspinning (this is normally only 2 shots per trigger pull no matter how long you hold it down) -a mosfet with a burst functionality, which the gun may have had before it was changed to the pico aab however on the pico aab you will only get single shot or full auto, it can't do burst. if you want burst the easiest option would be a warfet, it'll plug straight in same as the pico aab but you can program it to do a multi-shot burst if you so choose.

the internals certainly, but the externals are more of a design choice thing. maybe it's once burned twice shy but if there was an e&l variant of a gun i wouldn't even consider lct. granted lct do make some stuff that e&l don't.

a handguard should be fine, it's recievers and pressure bearing components are going to be raising eyebrows.

^pretty much agree with that. the we's aren't as good as the ghk/tm line but they are still usable. the trigger components do seem to be the weak area of their ar lineup, the metal is just not hard enough for the rigors of a gbbr, however there are aftermarket parts available.

when you say stopping semi, are you meaning you're getting lockups? active brake will try to stop the motor the moment the cutoff lever trips, depending on how fast the build is and how strong the motor is it's possible for it to stop so quickly that the cutoff lever is still disengaged which will lock the trigger, forcing you to switch to auto to get it moving again. depending on the setup this might happen very rarely, or so frequently it locks up basically every shot. this is one of the reasons i tend not to suggest mosfets with just active brake (active brake is necessary for fancier setups using precocking).
