Out at MAW with the new unrestricted nozzle with npas fitted. It needed a dremmel to fit as the bolt carrier was glued together. But now it works fine. Locks back reliably and the fire rate on auto has improved. Secondly, 5 second gas fill on the 20 rounders gets 60+/- shots, so I was over filling the first time round. Might change the hop rubber at some point, but stock performance is acceptable

So recently got the V3 VFC GBB M16a1 with 7 extra mags. My first outing didnt run smoothly, it wouldnt fire or was light striking a lot. I think i was over gasing the mags to the point it wasnt able to get enough gas out with each trigger pull. (hoping the 12 degree weather wasnt also problematic). I have since timed my gassing and about 4 to 6 seconds and it can empty the mag and lock back (they are all short 20 rounders) on most of the mags. Three of the mags do not lock back on the first shot, even when given the same timing of gas. They also appear to bounce and effectivelly fire full auto on semi, but i doubt it would be chambering any bb's. Anyone got experience with this? could it be the valve is stickier on these three? im going to let it all warm up and retest the three problem ones. added impression:- hop can manage 32's just, but stock is average at best, probably swap out later. no factory NPAS, was sent with a restrictor fitted. The bolts on the carrier are bolted in so yet to fit the npas, definately a high temp threadlock/glue

its the fact that the supporting strap has also come away from the leather that gets me

emailed SoF so will see what happens with them first. Thanks for the link, i have them bookmarked for the inevitable. they look close enough to me, if only i knew a week or so ago New photo to show the size of the hole I have not had the best of luck with these, i also have a size 9 of the same make. In store they were comfy so i bought them... found out too late that they are too small to run in (guess im a 9.5). was gonna try and flog them on here soon, but this thread isnt going to be much good for advertising xD

Ignoring the boot drama in GenHelp. Good day at the MAW, shottie ran well and the ZCI barrel I put in the M16 is for the trash. Put a maple leaf in it and the difference is night and day

Thanks. Just leaving the game site now. Can't have a game at without something breaking.... Sadly I wanted jungle boots to go with my 'nam kit. Anyone know of any decent ones out there?
-
Anyone had experience on returns from breakages? First time out. Got them on Friday. And my jungle boots nylon is torn. I'm guessing because it's happened in use they will say no. Just a bit gutted.
-
Not done, but due to my looking at the vfc m16a1 I found this when trying to find out about npas fitting Seems like it might work, anyone tried this
-
Whats the opinions on VFC GBBr's? eyeing the M16a1/XM177e2 at the moment. its a brand i have not had any dealings with so far
-
sooo, somehow bent in one of the prongs of my tm recoil mk18.... considering how thick it is, i am amazed, anyone done this and successfully bent it back? its too narrow now for bbs. It makes a good tuning fork as it is now
-
run down to todays game. M16 zci inner barrel clean did not fix the woeful scatter gun accuracy. it was fine the first 3 outings. might try and get a new hop rubber. unless this is the cautionary tail for zci QC.
Also, one of my tm 5-7 mags seems to have had the seal blow at the top. it was stored containing ASG matinence gas. so thats another thing to fix...

He regularly goes to games with myself. No luck on the 3d print. He got a replacement hop unit from firesupport in the end. Believe the running theory to the snapping arm was an aftermarket nub being too thick. Don't remember if he shaved the nub or kept it stock though. But second getting a spare if you plan on tinkering. Did seem to be a weak point in the design.

Anyone else buy that 3d printed pistol stand from the midlands airsoft fair? being told it is made to fit any double stack pistol, it was 3mm too wide for a M9, P226, Grach, 5-7, G19 and desert eagle... it was cheap, and after a time with a dremmel it works great. but amazed at how off the fitment was
-
"any double stack"
Doesnt even fit a glock.....
That's some top tier sizing right there

the annoyance of finding out that nuprol vn short midcap mags dont fit or feed into a G&P M16a1

well, compared to the G&P vn mags, the plastic top was double the thickness on the Nuprols. a file down later as @Rogerborg said and its a tight fit, but they go in with a love tap and feed now.

Anyone regularly use FBS Ball Grenades? i brought 3 from jdairsoft, and on two of them the fuse blew when i pulled the ring and didnt dentonate beyond. only 1 out of 3 worked... bit of an unreasonable failure rate

Never had an issue with FBS ball grenades not going off. I believe the ring pull pyro need to be pulled in a specific direction/way to ignite properly which is why I stick with the striker top version. I made velcro patches of striker paper I put on my gear so even if I lose the striker top of the grenade, I can still light it.

Remember finding some bio BBs that I shot into the garden a couple of years ago. They had gone yellowy and brittle. They crumbled if you pinched them.

How is the WE A3?
-
Damn. Been looking at WE GBB m16a3/TM mws to make a M16a4.... guess I should wait to find out now xD

Sadly no, been well over a year now. It was surprisingly reserved over its battery use. Hoping to have a go with a friends soldering iron this weekend. Though from seeing how this one failed, I'm amazed at how weak the bonding was. I'm going to see if I can leave some solder 'welds' to hold the cylinder in assuming I can fix the wire.
-
So the rotation of that barrel cut the wire and it was unknown black material originally used to bind it
-
So the spring holding the battery is stronger than whatever glue they used to fit this in. Not impressed as its gone with the first battery swap. Any experience out there of fixing this?
