Ive got a Gate Nano in one of my M249's . Doesn't need bells and whistles it's just there to protect the micro switch if I decide to run 11.1 v Although with a high torque motor in it it's fast enough for me on 7.4 Lol

There was a lad turned up to our last game in full Templer night gear, breastplate, helmet gauntlets, white tabbard and sodding great sword. Last game of the day he had 5 lives and about 6 guards , everyone else had to hunt him. No one ever spotted him, shiny metal and white tabbard and he still managed to conceal himself so we never saw him.

Just put a few tracers down the garden after tweaking the hop slightly, fun factor up to 11 ! 🤣

Gamed mine today, what an absolute hoot ! Got some decent kills with it including one at range which surprised me, gave a speculative burst thinking it would make him keep his head down and up went the arm ! 4 mags filled to 160 lasted me a game and the box mag handled them with no issues. My god that thing holds alot of gas ! I went through a complete bottle of green today, although I ran GBB all day. The 249 came out for 2 games , then the L119 A1 and the G3 had a run .

Also ordered, thanks for the heads up MK 46 stock looks good on it too

I'd be interested in where to get one too, usefull to have the adjustabililty as they do seem to be pretty marginal for site limits out of the box.

I always keep my gas mags gassed when not in use so will be doing the same with the stanag and box mag. If you want to empty them you could just switch into dry fire mode and run the tanks empty. Mine is a bit marginal on chrono too using Nuprol green, but does just come under site limit. Interesting about the box mag gas block, I suspect it is just mine , should be able to sort it though.

Short walk around Vid.

Well I've had it apart this morning. Not a bad job, one or two fiddly bits but no worse than any of my other GBBRs. The box mag clip is held on by two small bolts which seem to be the only ones on mine where lock tight wasn't used. There are 2 further holes in the lower reciever, so if the clip works loose again I'll drill and tap it and use 4 bolts. The 2 offending bolts can just be seen in this pic, now with lots of thread lock on them. The gas block for the box mag issue is odd. It's not down to me not pusing it fully home . It doesn't feel as snug a fit as the stanag though so I think it's moving just enough under recoil to allow the mag catch to release. I'll try adding a shim to the bottom of the block and see if that sorts it. Might be an issue to watch for or it might just be mine. Will be interesting to see. I had to trim the gas pipe in the box mag shorter to get everything to fit properly, but mag bow fite sthe reciever clip nicely and I can get the fake bullet belt into position on the mag. The face rounds look very plastic so I'll make up a deac round belt for it. Impressed with it

I plan to strip mine down today . Want to give the internals a clean and lube as well as checking tighness of bolts . The mount for the box mag has a little movement , looks to be held by 2 bolts which I suspect need a tighten and some locktight. Also the gas 'block' for the box mag has popped out of location in the mag well a couple of times, which might be down to me not inserting it completely but will look at that.

As there are a few of these appearing in the group now. I thought I'd start us a thread which will keep everything in one place. Upgrades, issues or anything else.

Quick vid of it cycling . Not a great vid but this is the first time I've ever tried putting a video on youtube. I'll try and do a proper one at weekend. ( I don't do tech ! 😂)

I pretty much only run GBBRs so I play accordingly. Work my way in close before I open up . My L119's are 30 roung mags so the 40 in the MP7 are a luxuary Lol. But regardless picking shots and making alowance for conditions still means I can take the drum mag boys on at range .

My boxmag has arrived , that beast will hold alot of gas ! I can kind of see how the customs monkeys broke the cover of Spartan's getting it off though I had to resort to a large screwdriver in the end.

I find range and accuracy are on a par with any other gun. Never feel out gunned put it that way

I normally go with a yellow one

Did a bit of a proper trial with gas capacity. Fully charged stanag and I got 200 rounds out of it which I'm impressed with. Lots of short bursts , did the first 100 then gave the mag time to warm up a bit. Then the second 100 . Nothing left in the gas mag at the end but it did it. Probably 150 reliably in a game . The second 100 were tracers , that was a scream !

When did it last have a good strip and clean ? but yes a new hop rubber will likely help, be a good chance to check for wear in the hop unit too. I generally run Maple leaf rubbers in my GBBR's and pistols. But I cant remember if the mp7 uses standard GBB / VSR rubbers or not , it's been a while since I had mine apart.

It's bloody awesome ! not playing today but have been up to the site to try the 249 on the range. I've not done any scientific testing of gas fill to bb count with the supplied stanag , but I didn't seem to be refilling much . I suspect the box mag (on its way) might last a game if the gun is used in a sensible way. I was firing bursts and it just kept going. Bot over 150 BB's into a mag , dont think I'd bother trying to ram the max 175 in tbh. Range and accuracy were on a par with anything else that was being run up there today ( it is a game day I'm just not playing) . Actually the acuracy surprised me tbh. Tried it on .25's but may well go up to my usual GBBR weight of .30 will see how many BBs I am going through. Chrono'd it as well. Using green gas it was right on the edge of limits so won't be using red in it. I can see taking 4 BB mags and a bottle of gas into a game will give me plenty of ammo for my play style. And god the sound of it ! it'll keep heads down just from that alone 🤣

Those are very cool, I especially like the suppresser. And very good english . Keep the updates coming.

So far I've only put about one mag through it. But first impressions are very good. I plan to get the box mag for it but I'll order that from one of the the hong kong or Taiwan suppliers . Will do some tests at the weekend to see hom many bbs the stanag gas reservoir will fire before a refill. I suspect 10 or so round bursts will be optimal. Will try and get some video at the weekend. Selection of pictures, everything has trades, even the bolt by the look of it. Weighs alot less than you might expect, which will be down to the all Ali construction .

Shoots nicely, lots of noise and drama !

Got mine !

I appear ot have just 'accidentally' ordered one from Airsoft world 😁

I have 5 WE GBBR's G36 , 2 M4 based L119's , L85 and G3 and cant say I've had any issues with any of them. The 119's in particular get used pretty much every game day and all year round. I also have the Umarex MP7 which a cracking little beast and unlike the tm one actual size. They all get properly serviced after games , the WE's have NPAS fitted along with maple leaf rubbers and Omega nubs . As others have said play style is different. I love the sneaking up and picking my shots style of play. Generally I run 4 or 5 mags and a speed loader for a game.
