The auto ones seem very hard to find too, I have seen one TM version pop up on the FB sales pages in the last few months and that went for more than the new price when they were available
How do you find the WE compared to a TM pistol in terms of reliability and build?
Tm pistols are well known to run on lighter gases and there are many stories of slides cracking, only damage I've ever physically seen is broken nozzles and o-rings drying out and leaking on various mags even using silicone drops, never noticed a massive increase in fps over green gas in my vector or G5, maybe 10fps in normal conditions, 15-20 in mid summer
One of my guys runs one and we did a little shaving of some G&G 120 mids and now they are perfect and feed every round too due to the long follower, just some patience and a Dremel was all that was required
I had a very ineresting conversation whilst buying my latest TM rifle at the weekend, it seems that umarex have finally got a real snot on with companies producing traded and unlicensed shape copies of rifles and pistols of the HK variety
Tm HK rifles will no longer have any trades on them and they have now ceased production of the HK45 due to not having the license to replicate the shape, this also throws doubt on whether we will see the anticipated TM USP pistols
I picked up the last recoil G36 and they had and was told it would be the last one they will ever sell with the trades and maybe the last full stop
The 'adjustable' nozzle is made by a French guy in a shed and is basically the standard nozzle with a screw in the side of it, not a huge upgrade, it's for bringing the fps down rather than raising it
I take it none of you have taken reference to the rifle named in the original post, G5? That would be gas, not an aeg
Wide bores work very well in gas rifles, orga Magnus has been proven to be excellent in a G5
Typical Chinese metal thread, looking at your picture I doubt it would re cut sufficiently and the die you need is 14mm negative x 1 which are fairly expensive, cheaper and easier to pick up another outer barrel
That is a lovely and very well done load out Russell, applause should be given, however I wasn't aware that the Lone Ranger was an Australian soldier.......
The other thing to note is quite how seriously milsims are taken and the amount of equipment required, if you are just starting airsoft then you will really to take the advice of playing 'normal' games for a while, milsim is a serious business, serious money and serious kit involved
Blowback is quite gimmicky in honesty, the G&G blowback isn't a great system and just makes a horrible rattling noise, no real kick, it's not adding anything and have seen many horror stories about them destroying the,selves, the standard G&G stuff for the money really can't be beaten, the ump is truly unreal, range, ROF are magnificent, far better than anything else for the money or the size
Leave the standard gears in there, just add a decent high torque motor, SHS are ok but can be a bit screechy, lonex A2 are excellent and I'm waiting on an AIP40000 to arrive and will give an honest review once it's fitted
Your list is fine but you don't need the gears, cyma gears are more than strong enough to run M140 and above, you will want a steel cut off lever as the standard ones are made of cheese and a guarder air nozzle and a bearing spring guide
I've built a couple of these recently including one for myself which is working lovely now
That's very odd for a real sword, ensure the hop is off and not fully on which may stop it feeding, I take it you have a hi cap supplied with it, make sure the rounds are free to feed as they are often full of oil which can stop it too
I concur with all of the above, nothing wrong with something like the punisher, and as above, as long as it's not you trying to 'Walt' it up then what's the harm, those of us that have served can become a little annoyed at those who wear what they haven't earned at more so those who try to make out they are something they are not and have never been
