I'm looking for an AEG/AEP that I could use a PEQ box with battery. Ideally, make sense and boost its performance.
If you are wondering why I'm looking for this because it does sound a little bit backwards. Having already got a PEQ box and battery I've put money into and would like to see what options I have before I sell them for a lower price. I originally brought them because I had a genius idea 🤥 to buy a two-tone Well R4, use it to get my UKARA and then buy a more expensive AEG that could be a RIF, that part worked out great. The other part was to then use the MP7 as a project and upgrade it. Gun came shooting 70 fps and battery only lasted half a game. So the plan was to PEQ box the battery and upgrade the internals with a better spring etc to get the power, ROF and battery life up. Gun itself cost me the same price as 3 rentals would've cost.
I thought I was on to a winner and a great idea, then I found out how much a pain in the arse an AEP is to work on and the Well R4 in general especially for a novice. Gun and the gearbox has been in parts in a box for months and months now. I don't think I could get the Gearbox or the gun itself back together and I'm just going to give up now before I waste more money on it. Might go back in a few years when I'm more experienced I guess, but probably going to look to sell some of the parts and get money back and reinvest.
I have kept looking at the Tokyo Mauri MP7A1 AEP because it uses the same mags and I can convert the battery over to a PEQ box. End up with a better version of the MP7 I was going to originally. But the £250 price tag and FPS of 200-250 puts me off, especially after my last experience with an electric MP7. Wasn't going to mind a sub 250 FPS AEP if it cost me, taking out what the rentals would've cost around £100. But I know you can get much better performance with the price.
So if anybody has any recommendations or knows what AEG/AEPS use a PEQ box, best case it would be a gun that will greatly need a PEQ box for performance. Looking for a CQB weapon and would like it to be a none M4 base. My main is a Long barrel M4 so would like something different but I'm open for any ideas.
Thanks
