[The AAP-01 Owners Thread.]

Hey all, I am finally part of the club after receiving my AAP a few weeks back. I was never a fan of the looks (which has now grown on me) but these looked like so much fun to use and at the price point it's hard to say no. I am looking to fit my x300 torch but cannot for the life of me find a rail set in stock anywhere. My question is, does anyone know where there are AAP-01 accessories in stock or is there somebody 3d printing rails? Thanks

I didn’t know there were Gen 3 mags, do we know the differences?

[Lowering fps on Pistol?]

Yes shorten the barrel, install an NPAS or just use a lower power gas like R144a

[TM MP7A1 - maintenance and tinkering]

 

Here's my MP7, I've used it for a couple of games and am loving it so far. Couple of external attachments but have yet to tinker with the internals. I do worry about common issues such as nozzles and backplates cracking but have had no issue yet, so am wondering if I should get spares handy or are there worthwhile upgrades/fixes?

Anyways, I carried out a few tests on the chrono and here are my results.
I was surprised to see a gain of around 25fps when increasing the hop-up from off to fully on. I expected it to decrease due to the friction but I imagine it actually creates a better airseal therefore more FPS? I confirmed this with my MWS too.
Also to note ASG Ultrair gave around 15fps lower compared with Nuprol 2.0 so that is handy to know if you chrono above 350 on a hot day this summer.

I will be carrying out some range testing this weekend with a range of BB weights from .2g to .4g so will report back on that!

[Eye Wear for Glasses Wearer]

I have tried multiple brands of goggles and the only one i've liked and fits over my glasses are the Bolle Pilot safety goggles, BUT I do suffer with fogging when it's warm. I would love a pair of prescription safety specs but don't know where to look...

Spray soapy water onto the seals and look for bubbles

Excellent post, I am going to order a set of these this week. Have you had a chance to skirmish with them yet? Any fogging issues?

[Gearboxes]

Check www.mechbox.com, watch the tutorial videos.. as for keeping screws safe, make a paper cut-out of the gearbox or gun and put the screws through the paper at the corresponding location. Will keep things neat and tidy.
