Groot reacted to concretesnail in Cyma 74U double feed or no hop on semi. Fires like a train on auto.
The double feed on semi sounds like the cycle is over running. See if it does it on a 2s pack.
What model mosfet is fitted?

Certainly sounds like overspin if you are getting 2 shots with one trigger pull, which is what I am thinking you are describing, instead of 2 bbs per cycle.
If you rely on mechanical timing to kill the motor power, and you spin everything faster ( 3S battery ) is keeps going longer until it can compress the spring twice with one trigger pull. Even if it doesn't do it every time the stopping position can creep around until 2 shots happen.
Battery is an easy change, Posh Mosfet is a bit more expensive but popular.
You can try a 2S Lipo (7.4v) or a 3S Life (9.9v)
The other thing that can happen is that the cut of lever can wear at the sector gear end which ends up delaying the trigger reset, resulting in the motor being energised for longer than intended. If your gun is relatively new though this isn't likely.
If the gun is short stroked and teeth taken from the release end you alter the cut off timing, effectively removing the load from the gearbox, for example a tooth early, but still energising the motor (off load) which will cut off at the normal time having continued to spin the gear box.
The more conservative the build the less likely battery, wear and mods will affect things, but when things are done to decrease the cycle time, that when stuff that normally doesn't matter starts to matter.
But battery for sure is a good starting point. 2S to 3S battery is a 50% increase in offload speed, under load...well it depends on how much load and how much current can be supplied.

Evri is by far the worst excuse for a courier I have used in the last 5 years. Nothing arrives on time or at all.

Groot got a reaction from Danno46 in When was the 'Golden Age' of airsoft?
Golden Age of Airsoft was Circa 2005.
Everyone ran normal AEGs and a few snipers... Who had hot guns because Joule creep hadnt been invented yet. Running either 0.5 teflon coated or 0.29 Maruzen Super Master Grades.
It was a level playing field with no HPA Shit or speed softers.
You tuned your AEG to 350 FPS on 0.2s and that was it. You ran ran 0.25 Excel if you were fancy or you hosed 0.2s
Hops were stock except for the cut down biro tubes to replace the stock bit. So everyone had fairly equal ranges.
BBs were £6 for 4000 and everyone ran 8+ Highcaps.
We all have 9.6v 3300 Nicads in bags on stocks or the nunchuck ones somehow crammed into the foregrip.
No one was a whiny prick and cried about being lit up .. Because being lit up was how it was.
Health and safety was no existant. If you got hurt then you shouldnt have been doing what you were doing to get hurt and everyone knew that.
Pyro was crow scarers in tenis balls. £20 for 200.
AND.. This is the most important bit.
The sites.. There was so many amazing sites. Ex Military, factory, entire industiral areas, shopping centers and TV Stations.
They are all houses now but there was a 5 year or so period where the sites were incredible.
That and the companies that ran the games were fewer and more focused on the game play. Not turning a profit.
Fuck Airsoft now is total shit by comparison

Groot got a reaction from Rogerborg in AI500 Time Crisis - April 29th - 30th 2023
Stop giving these cowboys money and maybe...
Just maybe they will take a moment and realise how its time to either pack up and call it a day or invest some time in money into marshalls and a decent event.
Same reason Brit Tac isnt going to see a penny from my team again. When a 3rd of one side packs up and leaves on day one. Thats a subtle indication.

Groot got a reaction from AirsoftEclipse in I have decided to run a poll
If i want to win. AEG
If i want to have sweaty fun in an urban or cqb environment. GBB
Biggest issue with airsoft (If you say it isnt so. You are a liar or you just never actually shoot anyone.) is that it often takes a number of BB's to hit and make a target take their hits.
Especially when range and brush is involved.
Which is why i rairly use my GBB when there is any chance i am going to need to shoot through a bush or engage at range.
I would rather run my PTW and carry 7 x 120 round mags and just get more kills.

Groot got a reaction from Skullchewer in Speedsofters eat your heart out
The other team made up of 5 to 8 year olds did not know what hit them.
Total campers pffft
Recoil was controllable. Slight kick up and left.
High speed low drag mag change system was quite intuitive.
No chrono. So not sure on the power.
Would recommend over HPA

Groot got a reaction from RobHedley in UCAP New rules updated today. No Binary triggers or shitty m4 mags on pistols.
I'm hoping this new rule set catches on and spreads to other sites. You know, like banning KickingMustang

Groot got a reaction from Tactical Pith Helmet in UK POST - AI500, Operation Flashpoint, 1st & 2nd October 2022
I got into one of the groups..
Basic Jist..... I want you to be honest on which of these complaints surprise you :
Bad Inept disorganised marshalling
Inconsistent rule usage ( one was single firing too fast ) FULL SEMI AUTO!
Weak choroing for both power and BB weight
Overkill ( HPA was mentioned multiple times )
Too many players for a small site
To few marshals for too many players
Thefts of kit
AND ..... Non hit taking / obvious cheating
