Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum, and have just started occasionally airsofting again. Its been a long while since I played regularly, back in around 2010 I was quite obsessed playing most weekends for a good few years, and was a regular on the ZeroIn forums which now seem to be gone!
I know my way around an AEG, and my current set up is pretty custom based on a G&P VLTOR. It was a very good set-up back in the day, but it seems things have caught up a bit since then.
I've got a new issue, which about coincides with installing a new spring/piston. I'm getting lock up on Semi, which can be solved by flicking to auto. Sometimes it needs a few shots too. I think it was a Guarder M100, but I'm trying find the order receipt. I'm getting around 285fps on .25s (so about 320fps on .20s), air seal is good, but I lose a little fps due to the sorbo pad / air brake piston head.
Other relevant parts are...
- ASCU MOSFET (very early model, probably their original one! Takes up half the stock tube. Microswitch for the trigger)
- 7.4 2200mah 35C Giant Power LiPo
- SHS High Torque Motor
- SHS 13:1 gear set
- Anti reversal latch removed
I'm not convinced the spring is the issue given it is not particularly strong, and it gives about the same FPS as the one I took out (which was an unknown make/strength).
Any help on what to try next is appreciated. I'm not really playing enough to justify spending loads going around changing every part hoping something works!
