Dear Hive Mind, I managed to do something today that I have never done or seen before. I recently built a gearbox for a boneyard rifle that I bought. It is a ZCI gearbox shell with the internals being pretty much what came out of the old gearbox, including the King Arms 18:1 gears. The shimming was very nice and the gun sounded rather good. AOE is also good. Today, I took it along to a site to test it; at first, all was well. Then, nasty going noises started, ending with the whirring sound of death. On getting it home, I discovered what is seen in the photo: the spindle of the KA spur gear has sheared. The gun was running on a 1450mAh 25c 11.1V LiPo driving an M105 spring. So, Hive Mind, what went wrong?

I run a UAR on a 9.9v 1600mAh LiFe battery, which just fits it the stock pad. It gives a very decent rate of fire.

We had a solitary Bren in the school armoury and we got to use it occasionally.

I might wander over there on a Tuesday evening; it is only two miles away.

Bunker 51 was the first place I played at, when Wolf Armouries were running evening games there. I found it to be very cramped with too many choke points, possibly because there were far too many players on site. What is the typical attendance over the time you have played there?

He may not be a shop, but he is certainly a trader; I wonder if he declares his income from all these toy guns?

Crikey! I will take better care of mine.

The guy from the site does not state that the limit is 300fps on 0.28g. He states that they have a maximum BB weight of 0.28g, that the limit for chrono is 350fps on 0.20g except for HPA weapons, which are limited to 300fps on 0.20g, which should make the guy who is allergic to HPA happy. He just explains it really badly.

Unfortunately not; a gathering of hippies, accountants who are hippies at the weekend, New Agers, travellers, ravers, party people and people with bongos. I am leaving as soon as we load out after our set.

That sounds like a cracking day's airsoft; I do like that type of Battlesim-ish day and fondly remember the "spec ops" days we used to run at Pembury. No airsoft for me today; I spent the afternoon in a rehearsal studio finalising my projections for our second festival gig of the year on Friday night.

As shown in the manual, you need to connect both red wires (the one to the battery and the one to the motor) to the same terminal on the trigger unit, with the signal wire going to the other terminal. It is probably best to put the mosfet in the dummy mag, soldering the wires to it as shown in the manual.

Someone has been on the devil's lettuce.

The first comment by Samtripp covers what usually happens.

I am currently rereading Xenophon's Anabasis; a great work of military history written by a remarkable commander. When I have finished that, I intend to reread all of Roger Zelazny's novels.

On the ICS, this is usually due to a failure of the trigger switch unit; you probably need a new switch unit. The best thing to do would be to open it up and have a look at the switch unit.

Or the quality of his marketing. ? Seriously, I have seen a couple of AEGs that he was worked on and they were superb. I like to think that my work is at the level of a sober orangutan.

I would give the Colombian marching powder a miss; I have spent far too much of my life around people who consume it in industrial quantities.

Velcro strap around the barrel and battery to hold it in place? That battery looks rather vulnerable. How big are the slots in the handguard? Could a BB get through?

The price! Possibly the ultimate wanker gun.

Just to support what Speedbird has said, I have a home built micro M4 with a shorter barrel than yours and a 1/2 cylinder with an extended hole making it about a 40% cylinder; it shoots at about 1.03J, has good range and is quiet. I would choose AK2M4’s red omega nub over the Airsoft Pro one.

How? Explain the physics that supports that statement. I also think you mean energy rather than power. Around 313FPS What is "Joule power"? Joules are a unit of measurement of energy, not power.

YouTube!

They also list lower joule limits for anything over 0.20g than they do for 0.20g, which is bizarre.

Anzio have had lower power limits for HPA for a while; overall, their FPs limits do not make much sense.
