  1. Oh another point - be wary what launcher you use - I had to seek advice from members on how to get it to fire as my launcher wouldn’t quite initiate the firing pin! I needed up putting a sticky bit of rubber over it to make it stick out a bit further to make my S&T launcher able to fire it. It’s a ridiculously tight fit too and brought all the stickers off the side so looks old and knackered! 
     

    Yesterday I have also had issues with it as the sticky rubber had decompressed around the pin so it wouldn’t press again - back to the drawing board on how to get it to fire! 
     

    I know not specifically related to your initial question but thought worth mentioning! 
     

    Also only fired it about 10

    times or so and defo needs some

    maintenance - not sure how this compares to other shells?? 

  2. Very good spread but realistic range is about 20m. 
     

    Everyone (including own team) shit themselves first time you fire it... 

    It becomes a bit of a game of chicken waiting to use it - in woodland games anyway. I was desperate to get a kill

    with it in first games and ended up firing when they were too far away. 
     

    Good to clear before charging in somewhere or as a quick bob out weapon when they are charging in but this is also one of the issues I have with them - I defo wouldn’t want to get someone with it while they are very close... so the ‘range’

    of them isn’t great but at same time is also can’t be used really close either! Very little spread at very close distance 

  3. Had a gas grenade thrown at me once, can’t remember exact make but one of the widely sold ones and I didn’t even know it had gone off. Saw some bbs randomly fly around and didn’t feel if any of them hit me, couldn’t see where grenade landed so had no idea whether to take the hit or not. 
     

    After 3 seconds of thinking, I didn’t take it (normally do when in doubt) because quite frankly if anything is so shit as an impact on the game I ain’t missing out on playing for it!!! 
     

    Can recommend TRMR blank firing ‘nade, especially with multishot base.

    all noted as i plan on getting a couple of these and a G&P long U/S launcher.  i have read the trigger pull on master/40 mikes is hard due to the pressure and the pins not going out particulary far.


    Ive been messing around with it today again and the cut in half (across) rubber dot works an absolute beast. So to be fair it’s easy fix. Obviously losing the dot thing would be a problem. 
     

    Once I’ve played on Sunday and then had some time to get inventive and come up with a solution (if I don’t do the Shims concept) I’ll post and let you know.

    as far as i can tell that hole is for tightening it onto the valve, again it's been ages since i stripped one of those things and i don't recall messing with the valve directly.

    Thanks for help! 
     

    Ive got a temporary solution in that I got a rubber sticky dot from my lad’s toy box lid and reduced it by half, stuck it to bottom of the Mike and it’s works! 
     

    I had a panic because I wanted it to use for Sunday’s first game back! 
     

    I’m going to do what you’ve said though and add shims! Thanks! 

  6. Ah yeah I get you. Will have a look thanks! 
     

     

    A mate has just suggested a small piece of sticky rubber (like the dots you get to stop Wooden drawers etc from banging) Onto the Mike’s bottom so then it pushes more? Reckon that could be worth looking at? 
     

    Do you know what the small circle shape is for on the bottom of the mike firing pin is for? Obviously not for filling with gas because that’s the other end. Reckon ok to be covered?

    if i recall i had something similar to get my tube to fire 40-mikes.

     

    in it's case it was a convoluted combo of removing the safety and shimming the screw-on firing pin head to get enough lift to fire properly.

     

    the stripping looks like those 2 claws are tight (understandable on a new launcher) you could bend them in a bit to loosen them up and give a smoother surface to grab.


    Ah brill. To be honest very relieved that hadn’t got a dud Mike as thought might have problems returning it when the stickers had all been scratched from the tube. 
     

    I thought maybe can I stick something to the metal that juts out when pull M203 trigger? So it pushed the mike more. But risky because it could cause it to go off when loading the mike into the m203? 
     

    How difficult was it to sort yours? I have zero confidence in my diy ability 

  8. Hi all, 

     

    Attached photo for reference. 
     

    So bought S&T mini launcher M203 and a Master Mike from two separate shops. 
     

    Master Mike I’ve read ‘works in all launchers’. 
     

    it’s a very tight fit and as can see from photo it’s taken the stickers off the Mike. 
     

    It fits just about in, pull the trigger and just a bit of gas comes out the front at a relatively slow rate. 
     

    What am I doing wrong or don’t the two work together!!!?! 
     

    Please help!

    Could it be the gas I’m using? 
     

    Video added for what’s happening and photo of gas. 
     

    I think maybe it is not pressing the fire pin in hard enough or further in enough?

    They don't list them but they definitely make them. Chances are they're only available to trade customers though. Try calling them, the number's at the bottom of the page.

     

    Alternatively you could try www.socomtactical.net

    Thanks 🙅🏻‍♂️

    QUESTION - 

     

    anyone used the tech services at bombupairsoft?? Problems or recommendation?

    ‘Bulk’ means different things to different people.  Call them to discuss if you think your bulk Is big enough 

    Saw and immediately thought EG but website is so annoying to navigate! 
    Can’t even see if they do thunders and bb ‘nades!?

    Finally someone who gets me 😂


    I’ve never understood it and been butt of jokes since being a teenager! 
     

    I stand by the merit of never smelling though! Good old Lynx Africa 😂Just always... damp. Grey T’s are a no go for me. 

  13. Flexibility for me! Get cramp while laid down in shooting position for too long. 
     

    Over eagerness to get kills can sometimes cost me due to my competitive nature... means I spearhead forward early and get surrounded when other teammates don’t follow me or catch me up

     

    I also sweat a lot and that leads to fogging but nowt to being overweight. I’m just a sweaty bastard and sweat sat down doing nowt 

  14. Ok

     

    So I’ve checked the rubber and from what I can see it’s fine, as is the nub. 
     

    Took the whole lot, minus the gearbox to bits and carefully reassembled. 
     

    It now dry fires perfectly both on semi and full, sounds fine and definitely pumps out air from the barrel. 
     

    However now it shoots one, maybe two bbs on full auto, keeps shooting out air for 4 shots or so and then shoots another one or two bbs. Same with semi and occasionally locks when switched to semi and trigger pulled. 
     

    Sometimes as well the bbs almost fall out of the barrel as opposed to shooting out. 
     

    Haven’t got a clue! 
     

    It’s currently got an old spring in... got the gearbox from someone selling me a stock originally but had a MP5K in bits and it had a mosfet so thought I’d use that gearbox and when I’d asked about the spring he wasn’t sure what power it was. So wondering now if it’s just fact spring is nackered??? 
     

    Thanks for any help!
