Thanks, and as far as I'm aware it's the older fixed hop version. I really like it, but I'd never use it as I've multiple AAP-01's for different situations.

I'm a lucky boy and now unexpectedly have in my collection a brand new Tokyo Marui Tactical Master. I'm really not sure what to do with, but to make sure all is OK I put gas in the mag (no leaks) and dry fired it a few times, and thinking I'll keep it I took the tag off of it (doh!). If I did sell it here any ideas what I should be asking for it?

As Jar Jar said "how rude"! Headless Chickens though are hard to hit, a little bit of movement screws everything up when playing as DMR / sniper whilst that heavy BB's hopes the target is still where it was a second or two ago.

I bought a boneyard CYMA MP5K, that came with a few mags, just for this reason. It works beautifully now with a GATE Titan v3, XT brushless motor and 7.4v LiPo's, however it's become an ornamental pew pew that I use rarely just as a novelty. It's just so HEAVY as a sidearm and to be honest gets in the way more than a pistol does if I'm crawling through bushes and undergrowth So, 100% a pistol all the way for me (although using an AAP-01 it's not the quietest).

Right now Patrol Base have the Double Eagle M904E for £149.99 (if you have UKARA, add on £10 for two-tone), which at that price is very good value (I bought one on Sunday for a friend). However, I don't know what batteries you're currently using for your "CYMA M4" as using a Double Eagle M900 with anything other than 11.1v is a big compromise as the trigger response is sluggish on 7.4v.

I'd strongly suspect that it's a cycle control / active braking issue. @JinxDuh is cycle control enabled / in the GCS app on your smartphone do you see it correctly observing the sector gear teeth / what level of active braking do you have set?

Mods, I was going to reply but is this another of of those scam posts?

AliExpress motherload (I like pretending to be a bush)... ... and velcro strips for add-hoc team arm bands.

Has anyone "Registered" yet so that they can harvest your credentials / passwords?

I wouldn't completely discount the bucking, it may look 100% sat right when using your eye to look at it, but once you're shooting so far out any minor issue will start to show as the BB veering off. With DMR's and snipers getting as close to perfection as possible with hop is essentials so that you have consistency and trust where your shot it going each time. What took me to the next level was an appropriate r-hop patch from Snipetor (Google him) and a Modify flat bucking. If you're using a typical "nub" also be wary of it being ever so slightly off centre, which is why I use a Maxx Model M4A-PRO and its solid concave nub so that this acts as a TDC. (Of course I've spent lots of money on this, but it doesn't guarantee that I'm any less crap at playing )

The no.1 reason why I sold my Armorer Works drum mag (the same as the WE one mechanically). Spare parts are as rare as rocking horse shit with you having to use places like WGC Shop (who are actually very good), the winding mechanism craps out regularly requiring a replacement, and generally they're a lot more fragile than you think. You're probably going to have to bite the bullet and get the park from HK.

Regarding battery it's great when you suddenly find that your battery lasts twice as long as it did on a full charge. Also, as the torque is so incredible, you then start to think about lower gear ratios and just using 7.4v!

So @ButcherBill can reminisce (mods, please delete if inappropriate)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK9DCPl2nHQ

This post from me is a little blunt but why "take your gun in" as it's so easy to get a better setup yourself... Buy a Snipetor r-hop patch from their website that matches your inner barrel. Buy a Modify flat bucking. Buy a Maple Leaf Omega nub. Enjoy.

As plain and white bread as they can come, a scruffy boneyard job, but I've spent money on the internals... PDI inner barrel. Snipetor r-hop patch + Modify flat bucking. GATE Titan v3. AK2M4 / XT brushless motor. ... and it runs very nicely on 7.4v (I've no 11.1v's that fit). I'm quite tempted to stick with 7.4v and pop in a lower ratio gear set 🤔 Edit: It was bought with the intention of using as a cold weather / winter sidearm, but as the upper is metal it weighs a ton and is tricky to use single handed.
