They've been around for a while now. They have a high end range (BO Manufacture) and the new "value" range if you will call BO Dynamics. The LT595 has full Lonex internals and is getting some good reviews. I see no reason NOT to buy one!

Granted G&G made what appears to have been a poor decision by building their OEM FET down to a price but then I do wonder how many people would have been happy to swallow the extra cost had they gone with a higher spec? Ultimately their design achieves what it sets out to do - maximise trigger response with the existing gearbox design by taking advantage of the lower power LiPo batteries. Had they OEM'd a Gate PICO design they'd have been golden of course but that's just the way it goes.

Most manufacturers will only sell through distribution. Of course that doesn't mean you're limited to one wholesaler in particular.

So this has been in place since May 2013 then....

Welcome! There's a few girls that play (have a look on Youtube for Femme Fatale Airsoft) but it is a pretty male dominated hobby (shame). I've not played at Worthing so I can't speak from experience but I believe it's a pretty decent place. Just beware that if you start playing and enjoy it there's a whole new world of stuff to spend all your money on just waiting for you!

Ah right, yes I see what you're referring to now. I think he's using a lower ratio gear set and was concerned that lightening the whole power train would result in the RoF going TOO high and causing pre-engagement. You're correct in what you're saying that if you're trying to produce an all out high speed build then heavy parts will increase wear slightly but it depends on how you get there. If it's a low powered spring with a high speed motor then yes I'd agree but in this case he was using a high torque motor to get the same result so the weight of a standard piston and aluminium head wouldn't make so much difference because of the extra power available from the motor. There's a number of ways of skinning this particular cat though! As far as wear goes, high speed builds will wear quite quickly anyway so the minimal additional wear from a heavier piston isn't going to make much difference if the whole thing is lubed and shimmed properly. How did it turn out Ian?

Holy necro post Batman! So anyway - yes if you are trying to create a high speed setup for a high rate of fire then the piston/piston head ideally would be lightweight items (swiss cheesed piston, remove the bearings from the back of the piston head etc). But talking of confusion I'm struggling to see where you're getting the idea that he was fitting heavier parts?

I'd say go for it. If the existing hop is crap then the madbull one can't be any worse (and should be better - my point was that it isn't the best aftermarket hop you could get). Just be aware that in the same way as tracer mags do it only illuminates one side of the BB so it won't be AS bright as your B&T tracer. Ultimately as long as the hop unit actually functions properly you should do OK if you fit a decent rubber (I'm currently favouring Prometheus purples in my guns) and take the time to set it up properly.

If you have the tracking number you should be able to check it online.

True. Price is still pretty high though....

If you're looking at the G&G HBA-L it is REALLY heavy which may be a con for you. If you want to maintain the full auto aspect you'll need to abide by AEG/assault rifle FPS limits which could limit its usefulness as a DMR/sniper role platform. On the other hand...if you can afford it - have both!

On the Alpha tec model the rounds are loaded into a disc that is sized for 9mm blanks on one side and shotgun primers in the other. That way if you want to change from one size to another you don't need a new part or (as in the case of the EDD) a whole different grenade.

Fair enough. I have heard though that it's not great either as a hop unit OR a tracer. Not actually used one though so I can't really confirm.

Wind your neck in! I was asking if it was necessary to imply that anyone that couldn't understand the maths was stupid. Hardly trolling. In fact there is no trolling on this thread at all, granted there's a fairly hefty derail but that's not the same thing at all.

Is that really necessary?

I like mine. Just the mags are a pain in the arse.

Multibangs aren't uncommon though. In real use as well as paper pyro.

If it's the original switch it WILL fail. They are crap. The maplin switch is about three quid, the gearbox is pretty easy to get out (there's disassembly videos on Youtube) and then the switch just unbolts - you don't even need to open the gearbox! The one thing you will need to do is cut down the arm on the new switch because it's way too long!

Yep, no worries. I used to have one of those very batteries in my M4!

Yeah....sorry about that

Yeah, I still like the double sided aspect of the other one.

That one right there is what I run mine on. But then I don't use mine all day.... If you keep the current plastic handguard then you can fit a pretty hefty battery in but just be aware that if you fit the railed MK46 style handguards the space in the lower half dwindles pretty rapidly!

What are you looking at going into as a career then? To be fair if you already have an internship offer I can see why you're torn!

Oh yeah.....duuurrrrrrrr. Sorry having a bit of a "slow" day today Can you not do uni here then?
