Little update - Used a tool to get it shooting right with 0.28s and it's pretty much locked in place so there's no chance of accidental tweaking by curious workmates in the future lmao Also decided to take the thing apart - these oldschool rifles are so much fucking easier to take apart it's unreal as the other two I've went inside [a DE UTR-45 and a CYMA CAR-15/M733] have had fancy bolt catch mechanisms, ambi selectors etc. The lack of functionality with regards to a catch etc makes things a lot easier. With regards to the motor & grip - it seems that the 'high torque motor' that was mentioned actually is a ZCI HT, which feels pretty pokey and hard to move which is a good sign. One problem, however - is that somebody's dearest (as it says DAD on the bottom of the grip) decided to superglue the motor adjustment screw in so it can't be moved at all 😅, so a new pistol grip or baseplate needs to be ordered. One finaly question however - anybody know what size these bushings/bearings are? They're obviously smaller than 8mm but I haven't a set of calipers to hand and finding any technical info about this gun that isn't just a copypasted description about the joys of 'CQB Hi Cap Action!!!' from ASG's website 15 years ago is impossible. I'm guessing 6mm? I'm pretty sure it's just a rebranded Classic Army gearbox in a plastic reciever so if anybody has more info I'm all ears. Cheers! -
What's the go-to STANAG styled midcap? CYMA? I'm new to all this M4 convenience and actually having choices is a little overwhelming 😅

Got them today - they feel very solid and feed perfectly in both my old as balls CA/ASG w/ zci rotary hop unit & my JG G36 w/ a M4 adapter. Suprised at the height difference compared to the specna mags on the left [the big one is also a nuprol flash mag I got alongside the three on the right] but they look loads better in the G36 because of it. Will get around to eventually making them grey because I just think it looks neat but the tape'll do for now. Cheers lads!

Will give it a go over the weekend when I'm intending to crack on with this thing. This sounds fantastic, please do-tell if you ever get around to it so I can order like.. five 😅 (also big thank you for throwing in that ARL spring in my most recent order, completely slipped my mind!)
-
Honestly - fixing the hop to 0.28s might be a good idea. Means that the type of people I'm going to loan this to (mates, work friends, relatives etc) can't accidently cock things up and have it shoot funny 😅
-
The one that came out of it is some sort of strange slim design 'rotary' unit rather than the water-mill looking one you're probably thinking of - I think I'll give it a go at sanding the wheel when I get time to see if I can get just a little more purchase on it. I don't mind the hop being fixed to a certain weight without a tool I just want to make sure it's applying it evenly on the arm.

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
pyromancer6 replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Please do tell where you found a classic style cocking lever - I've tried the guarder steel one [didn't fit] and the VFC one [was too big] and I'm completely at my wits end looking for one. It's to the point where I might even order the gopping modern styled one just to have one again (or, if you've still got it around, I'd be happy to take it off your hands for a few quid) I'm begging at this point. Looks awesome, by the way. -
Was meant to post in the AEG section. Oopsie doodles.

Hi all, Recently brought a friend's CYMA CM.009D back from the grave and had a blast fixing it up with a new board, gears etc to the point where it's shooting lovely which we've then sold for a really decent price (as in a good deal, we're not merchants 😅) to friend who's the entire reason we got into the sport in the first place so he finally has something 'competitive' to play with. As payment for the tech work - I got to have his old ASG M4 and a bunch of other goodies which I'm more than happy with because it's always shot pretty lethargically and I was confident that I could do some work to it to make it a cheap little burner gun I can loan out to friends without worrying about the expensive and more unreliable pews breaking. So, I chrono'd the thing and as he said - it's pretty lethargic and is shooting low power with it's very old hop system/design which would explain his frustrations with it. So, I popped in a XT 380mm 6.00 tightbore in it, alongside a ZCI rotary with a ML macaron and already there's much better results. This is great, it still sounds like a rusty sewing machine being pushed down a staircase mind but it's now up to power - with only one drawback that I can tell so far. The clearancing with the new hop unit is so tight that I can't move the hop dial by hand whatsoever and I have to instead use a tool to scrape it up or down, which while incredibly inconvienient also means that I've got doubts on whether or not it's playing nice with actually applying the hop. Any ideas on clearancing the unit? I wouldn't know where to start filling so I thought I'd ask for advice. Any more info on this thing would also be incredibly appreciated as searching the markings/model just leads me to various retailers advertising it with the same copy pasted description so I'm unsure on what size the bearings are etc. The pistol grip's adjustment screw also seems to be welded in place for some reason, so I guess a new pistol grip is a good idea? Cheers!

Looking for a replacement pistol grip for a CYMA AK to spice things up a little instead of the bog-standard polymer AK-74 one that's on there. Any recommendations?

Think I remember seeing these lovely pews a little minute ago - I take it that it's the Asura Dynamics RK-3 on there? It's a massive shame that they're not on WGCShop as I'm trying to get one big order in rather than ordering abroad from a bunch of different places for cost reasons. I might also look into the palm US grip too honestly as I think that's on there too, so thanks for the suggestion @Skara 👍

100% agree with everything above - get some decent ankle supporting footwear like some combat/hiking boots/shoes and make sure your eyepro is up to snuff, everything else is up to you honestly but I would 100% try a few games out first to see if you end up sticking with the hobby before spending a fortune on it. Chrono is a great idea as there's nothing worse than showing up on the game day and being turnt away because your gun's a little too spicy. Just remember that in airsoft it's a complete coin flip when you're buying stuff sometimes - sometimes cheap isn't nasty and expensive ends up being shit, make sure to do your research and check out reviews and threads before buying anything, esp. if it's a new pew. You don't want to be spending hundreds on something that will just drive you up the wall after all lol

Finally a good mag option for the AUG. 180 rounds is incredible for the platform and although the MAG and JG ones got close - having a reliable seller of midcaps that have really good customer support attached to them is a massive win for everybody. While I'm not the biggest fan of novritsch's 'M-LOK EVERYTHING' styling on their pews I'm unoffended by the A2 and dressed up it kind of looks awesome. I've got a mate with a snow wolf that he was prepared to send off and get a silly amount of money thrown at it but honestly with this coming out I can see him picking one up (and by proxy, I get to have a go haha)
-
If this finally gives us a good AUG midcap that isn't unobtanium that'd be incredible. Rumours of it having the excellent Begadi hop unit or a licenced version/clone of it are hopefully true too + it'd be nice to finally have some spare part support for AUGs as snow wolf/tm stuff is kind of a pain in the ass to get ahold of (still can't find a barrel release button that fell off my mate's one when I was using it)

CYMA MP5 has died of death after motor adjustment - any ideas?
pyromancer6 replied to pyromancer6's topic in Electric Guns
This is what I started with when I was orginally attempting to adjust the height pre lockup - it was when lowering it the issue happened. Thought it'd be easier to just compile everything into a video. https://streamable.com/z93517 One thing to note is that the motor doesn't want to drop into place/spring freely without the baseplate on which I'm assuming means either the ARL is being a bugger or the gears are that jammed that there's either a piece of gear jamming the action or one of the bushings/bearings has exploded. Come to think of it - when it first happened the fire selector became awfully stiff (spur gear or spur bushing?) Regardless - I've ordered a few parts and I'll crack it open when I've finshed the other pew that's in bits to see what's actually going on. Appreciate all the input -
CYMA MP5 has died of death after motor adjustment - any ideas?
pyromancer6 replied to pyromancer6's topic in Electric Guns
Fully open to taking the thing apart - was going to upgrade the compression and do the usual ak2m4 goodies like I did with the UTR & M733 that I'm currently working on, just wanted a second opinion on the things that it could be (appreciate the input on the profile post and here btw) so I could order them without ordering extra things I might not need in the end. Will give that a try though - moving the gears manually to see where it gets stuck might indicate what's actually causing the lock-up -
CYMA MP5 has died of death after motor adjustment - any ideas?
pyromancer6 replied to pyromancer6's topic in Electric Guns
Should've mentioned that in the OP - the motor pinion seems completely fine. No matter how it's screwed in it still makes the same god-awful sound. I was thinking the cut-off might be knackered but I wanted to put this thread out for feelers and a second opinion -
Hi all, Just following up from my previous profile post bitching about my guns being broken - I was adjusting the motor height on my completely standard CYMA High Cycle MP5 because it was sounding a little screechy and ended up pushing the motor in too high, to which I then lowered it back down to near-about where it used to be. But, the moment after doing that and ever since it produces a horrible screeching sound on firing and I was wondering if anybody here would have any info on what it could be before I start ordering a bunch of replacement parts that I might not actually need. Img 5572.mp4 If it helps - I tried plugging in the motor without it being within the grip and it seems to be spinning freely - what could be causing the lockup inside?
-
Plugging a battery into my completely standard never missing a beat CYMA Highspeed MP5 to find out it's somehow exploded or stripped one of the gears was not on my bingo card for this lovely wednesday evening. Losing the fucking will to live honestly lmao

Binds either way - I was adjusting motor height because it slipped a little during play and it was sounding a little screechy - went too far in so backed up a bunch and boom - sudden lockup into screaming. Changing the height now doesn't do anything - it just screams. Broken spur gear? I took the motor out of the grip and it seems to be working fine and I don't see any damage to the pinion or shaft or anything

Any idea when you're getting the J-cage bearings back in stock bud? Turns out the CYMA bushings are a bit too shonky for SHS 13:1s..
-
I am testing for some now but I really recommend going for bushings if your having shimming issues
-
Thing is - I have no room for shims with the standard CYMA bushings at the min and putting the old bearings in from my CYMA platinum that neg built for me means I can add shims and it's a lot quieter - but they don't quite fit the holes and pop in and out a bunch and it's making me nervous that they might give up the ghost, hence me looking for new ones. Might consider the XT bushings now that you're mentioning them though..
-
Some bushings / bearings sometimes require a little bit of retaining compound or glue to hold them in place. With bearings if you try to force fit them you can damage their structure quite easily.

Appreciate the info lads. Now that I'm looking at it properly instead of just seeing the silver metal and assuming 'magnet' it's very obvious what it actually does 😅 Me thinking it was a magnet led me to a reddit thread talking about needing to replace the magnet in a new set of gears and lo and behold - it was for an amoeba with the EFCS 🤦♂️ Now just need to order some bearings as the CYMA bushings that are in there are a bit too shonky to fit any shims with the SHS gears.. [pretty sure they're taller than the stock ones]

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
pyromancer6 replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
And here I am moaning about trying to find a holster for my glock 😅 -
Hi all, Recently been taking on this M733 CYMA as my first real forray into 'fixing something' that was previously fucked - it was working great until on a game day it decided to get locked into safe on every position (safety catch, new one is going in as we speak to hopefully fix it) but with me being me I also decided to order a set of SHS 13:1s from ak2m4 while I was there - only to notice that the stock CYMA gears have what I'm guessing is a magnet in one of the holes that the SHS lacks - where do I source these for the SHS gears? I'm assuming it's how the CYMA mosfet reads gear cycling and I fear that just slapping the SHS ones in without replacing it will cause it to burst on semi or do other fucky shit. Am I just being paranoid, or does that magnet need to be replaced to have the mosfet not freak out? If so - where would I source one for the SHS gear? Cheers

I would've thought the spenca would've been decently solid externals wise - I bought a KV stock and Hensoldt style carryhandle dot/scope from a regular at the site I play at and it's distinctly nylon-y non shiny plastic. Appreciate the insight though - strange to hear your thoughts on the S&T from the horse's mouth considering the nightmare fuel that was your KA4 build... Sportline? Proline? I'm exclusively after external quality as all the internals from my current JG (13:1s, perun hybrid etc) are going in so if there's no difference between the bodies quality wise I'll go with what's cheaper. Do they only do G36Cs? Or do they do the longer variants too? Can't seem to find much information on them to be honest, considering the age of them.
-
Hi all, I'm an owner of a JG G36K that I've had for a little while now - we've had our ups and downs, and it's had plenty of money thrown at it to make it good. One thing that's always bugged me was how creaky and plastic-y it's always felt so after deliberating on ordering replacement parts to hopefully fix all the creaking I just realised I had a ship of theseus situation on my hands and that it'd probably be a better idea to purchase a brand new base gun and just simply swap all the fancy bits over, leaving the original as a nice little spare backup of sorts. That leaves the question - which one? I've heard nightmare stories about the S&T (@JinxDuh...) and I'd need one that is ideally fully compatible with the JG so I can swap over parts interchangably so I still have a spare backup gun when it's said and done.
