[Gun picture thread]

 I felt the need to show this one off.

 

After years of searching I somehow managed to stumble upon this wonderful TM Aug A1 with the steel HBAR kit with the correct bipod and flash hider. Not sure how rare these kits are but I’ve only come across a small hand-full of these. Just wish I could get myself a drum mag for it it.

The inner barrel is a ridiculous 655mm in length

One for the weekend, am I missing something here if the price is £500 or must be a really expensive case 
 

 

[Cybergun M249 Mosfet Advice - V2 Gearbox]

To be honest looking at the specifications on both, the NanoHard gives you a few more options and only cost about a tenner more. 

 

my Titan 7.4v 3000 mah starts the day off at 8.3v and after 3-4000 rounds finishes up with around 7.9v left in the bank. I know some people have some issues with the Li-ion world but honestly for a £35 battery i would argue that it was a great investment

There is no need to have AB on that thing to be honest

 

I have a NanoHard in my E&L 74u, works flawlessly and the good part is that I can swap it with the Warfet on my 933 and NanoASR (this one bought solely as a backup in case one of the other two shits the bed) without cracking the box open  mind you I mostly play in full auto

 

Go on and install it, just set the battery protection to whatever voltage you use and have fun

Sounds like all the convincing i need, love the spirit! 

[Cybergun M249 Mosfet Advice - V2 Gearbox]

I Luckily won a brand new M249 in the Raffle at my local site last weekend. Its the Cybergun Para M249 Featherweight which uses a Version 2 gearbox. 

 

I run titan batteries in my guns and wanted to put a basic mosfet capable of debouncing, active breaking and just protecting the trigger contacts. 

 

I was thinking of fitting a GATE NanoHard 3rd Gen mosfet as this is a simple non programmable unit. Link to specifications https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/gate-nanohard-3rd-gen-multifunction-aeg-controller

 

However being a support gun which is capable of full auto only and is to be used in short burst or full auto constantly, would this actually be a good idea or will there be issues/consequences over time and put strain on the mosfet?

I've seen lots of people saying that the V2 gearbox is not the best for these guns but as it was free i cant complain so i might as well make the most of it.  

 

Any help or experience will be greatly appreciated

 

 

 

 

 

[Who's Runs Li-fe or Li-ion Batteries?]

A Li-ion battery will go off like a Catherine Wheel if you somehow managed make them.  They don't have a memory effect like Li-Po's and the internal voltage protector help protect against killing the battery completely. I Believe the chemical composition is also slightly different 

Require slightly less maintenance than your average Li-Po but same principles should apply to them when it comes to storage and charging and care.

I want to use LIFE but they just don't have the shapes and sizes available. I like that they're less prone to burst into flames and that they like to be stored fully charged like a NIMH. 

i was going to use them but cant find one to fit into my stock tube so thats out the question, defientley going to run a Li-ion but choosing between shelling out 70 quid for a 7.4v  titan and a charger or trying nuprols range of Li-ion batterys which are only around 12 quid. mind you never seen a review or heard of anyone using them so it could be a good or a bad thing. 

[Asg Glock 17 Slide Compatibility]

Does anyone know if a complete WE/TM G17 upper would fit a complete ASG Lower, i know the Blow back housing is completely different but trying to find one is like rocking horse shite. Also the slides look I think the ASG is the same as the KWA/KWC version. 

 

Thanks 

[Who's Runs Li-fe or Li-ion Batteries?]

How does your 9.9 compare to the 7.4? Obviously the LiFe batteries are safer only in the fact that they vent a gas rather then combust like the lipos.

 

of course the same amount of safety precautions should be taken with all batteries, and yeah wouldn’t take the risk with a cheap charger.

 

Was thinking about trying out a Li-ion. It only a DMR locked to semi and the trigger response on a 9.6v is surprisingly snappy, but they just won’t fit into the stock tube.

 

[Who's Runs Li-fe or Li-ion Batteries?]

Could people share there experience using the above, how do they perform, what’s the best ones to buy, what rating do you use and do they have any issues using them?

 

[Cyma 098b DMR Platinum / M4 Variants Thoughts]

So i have just purchase my first ever Cyma, i know they have been know for their AK variants and normally i would not even consider buying any M4 platform based weapon made from them. 

But then i decided to have a change of heart once i saw one of their new platinum 7.62 AR-10/SR-25 based models.

 

(CYMA 0.098B) https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/cyma-cm-098b-platinum-edition

 

Has anyone ever had much experience with this range of theirs and can give me their views on them as standard. I am aware that there are many other brands out their that would be cheaper option but personally i was drawn to this one and thought i would give it a try.

 

first thing that is happening is that stock is getting swapped out for the ICS DMR m4 stock as i find crane stocks fat and ugly and dont give the gun a well balanced look.

 

might be important to note that i do not intend to use LiPo batteries with this. if i were to go down that route i would go for a titan Li-oN 

 

So far the only cons i have seen or read about is

 

MOSEFT only provides basic protection and is not programmable 

Price Tag 

Lack of Trademarking

FPS 300-320 

not locked to semi (not a bad thing if you wanted to use this more up close and personal if the FPS under 350 but if considering upgrading spring for higher power modification needed to the selector)

 

But saying that i feel like there are some pros to this as well

6.03 inner barrel

Quick change spring (lets be honest this is becoming standard with must guns now)

Full metal construction (i would hope so at that price)

Micro switch

13-1 ratio gears 

Steel tooth piston 

Silent piston head

High Torque motor 

8mm Bearings  

The Design personal i like as i am not a fan of the big chunky hand guards 

 

Be interesting to hear some of your thoughts and if you currently own or have owned one lets hear what you have to say.
