When you shimmed the gearbox, did you make sure that the sector gear cam is still reliably being seen by the Aster sensor? It may be a bit borderline.
-
What have you set up on the Aster? Is there precocking on semi?

Based on my little understanding, not all FPS (feet per second) levels are equal in airsoft. FPS determines the velocity at which a BB pellet is propelled from an airsoft gun. Different airsoft games and events may have specific FPS limits, and certain types of airsoft guns have different FPS ranges.
For example, most indoor CQB (Close Quarters Battle) fields have lower FPS limits (usually around 350 FPS) to ensure player safety in tighter environments. On the other hand, outdoor fields or long-range events may have higher FPS limits (such as 400-450 FPS) to accommodate for longer engagement distances.
Different countries and regions also have their own specific regulations regarding airsoft gun FPS limits. It's important to check and adhere to the specific rules and limits set by the governing bodies or organizations where you are playing airsoft.
I hope you find this helpful.
Thanks.Good bot!

Yeah I saw that, so it confirms it can come off. I’ve tried a heat gun but no luck, brute force also failed. It seems like the parts are all molded together but that’s illogical 😅I've got a couple like that, they're clearly made of assembled parts but just refuse to come apart.

According to this
the end cap should screw off. You may just have to apply some heat to the tube or just y'know....brute force.

I have a VZ58M long version that I bought as a bonyard project and needs a mosfet replacement, thing is Ares being Ares they love proprietary stuff and I can't find their mosfets anywhere in the uk, the Czech sites I have visited all don't shop to the UK so I am wondering this: would and V3 gearbox be it Ares or any other brand work in this gun? Or am I just out of luck? If I can't get it working that sucks but it was a freebie along with a compact VZ58 that works.
Thanks in advance.
As has been mentioned above, get in touch with them directly https://www.eshop-aresairsoft.com/index.php?route=information/contact
They've always been very helpful when I've bought stuff direct!

Yep, same here! Generally go into a bag that is then only used for testing feeding/cycling on guns after I've fiddled with them, or for breaking in new mid caps by repeatedly loading/unloading them.
I use them in my LMG for the "lots to the everywhere" approach!

That's nothing, the wankers at Metro went with the headline :

No mention of all the money he made from horse jizz then?

My gun was shooting at 1.09j with a 105 spring and 6.03 brass barrel.
The gun was accurate and straight with minimal power variations.
So why did you change it?
19 minutes ago, tk2010 said:Seemed to be flying straighter and yeah I remember them hitting harder.
Its probably in my mind but I wanted to know the science behind it
It's probably more to do with the specifics of the barrel and hop rubber than anything else. Joules are joules, FPS is FPS.

Information, or assumption? Again, a genuine question as I've had no trouble hopping 0.28g at ~1.1J in any season in the UK with 50, 60 or 70.
Bit of both. In the UK the extremes of temperature aren't actually that extreme so much like you I've had no need to change rubbers purely because of environmental issues but I have seen a couple of my guns that perform poorly first thing on a winters day after having been packed in the car overnight on account of the rubber stiffening up in the cold.
I'd personally say that there's FAR more difference in personal preference as far as the UK goes. If you drastically change the power of the gun or the weight of the BBs then you'll probably see more of a difference with grades of rubber than just the difference of a few degrees between an average winter and summer here (climate change notwithstanding of course) but even then it may just be down to longevity. The very anecdotal nature of airsoft "upgrades" is a problem so I (much like yourself) would love to see an actual, evidence based test much like the AATV style of video that does a back to back of the same three rubbers in the same gun on the same day and then repeated in deep midwinter and the height of summer to see just how much variation there actually is. Of course, as soon as you take the results and apply them to your own gun it all goes out the window (at least to some degree) because your gun ISN'T the gun the test was done with (even if it's the same model and manufacturer).

Hop compound is one thing, but there's contact patch shape, nub shape, the amount of time being hopped and the way the pressure is applied.
Different materials behave differently too.
Absolutely correct but the discussion was about comparing three different grades of the same make and type of hop rubber in the same gun on the same day to see how much difference the hardness of the rubber itself actually makes.

There's some confusion going on here. First off, Krytacs do not have ETUs. Second, it's possible to put a Perun MOSFET in a P90, but a MOSFET is only the chip that protects your trigger contacts from voltage and aids efficiency a bit. Nothing else. Some ETUs have MOSFETs, but no MOSFET is an ETU. Perun makes both. Your EASIEST option if you want a P90 with an ETU is to buy the Novi. However, there is also this:
https://perunairsoft.pl/products/p90/
You should do some visual research and identify the dimensional differences between the Perun P90 ETU and the Krytac trigger unit to see what you might have to mod. In general, Perun products do not fit Krytac gearboxes without modification, but the mods may be simple.
The Krytac P90 is has both an electronic fire control unit and a MOSFET. The Perun P90 does not fit in a Krytac P90 (ie not a drop in fit but could probably be fettled in).
Also - to address the MOSFET/ETU thing - a MOSFET is strictly just a transistor, not a chip. Unfortunately, much like Hoover, MOSFET has become an accepted term meaning some kind of electronic device fitted to an airsoft gun. Perun's MOSFET is a MOSFET with additional components on a circuit board, the Krytac MOSFET is even more basic in that is just the transistor (so you can truly say that it's just a MOSFET). A "programmable MOSFET" is a massive misnomer, it's a MOSFET with a programmable controller attached which may or may not be an ETU as well (eg Warfet vs ASTER).

. It's quite a tricky puzzle to solve.
It's really not. You've basically captured the essence of how it works in what you've said!
The different hardness of rubbers is akin to when Pirelli rock up to an F1 race weekend with a 3 out of 5 selection of tyres (rated as C1 to C5). On a given day at a particular track a race car will have a finite amount of grip on any one type of tyre so let's say that on this particular day with a track temperature of say 40C it's the C3 tyre that gives the best grip. For that same car at the same track with a lower track temperature then a softer tyre will be better (eg the C1) on a hotter day you'd need a harder rubber to get the same grip (eg C5) because the hotter conditions will make the rubber deform more for a given speed/turning force.
The same is true for hop rubbers. On an average UK day a 60 degree rubber in a 350FPS gun firing a 0.28 bb will give good hop. In the same gun with the same power and same BBs in a winter game in Norway it won't give enough so you need a softer rubber. Likewise, take the same gun to a summer game in Florida and you'll need a harder rubber.
The tricky part is accounting for the variables in the gun itself - spring rate consistency, gearbox stiction, air seal, the stability of the hop unit (flex in the arm, deformation of the tensioner etc) bore quality in the barrel, all of which will have an effect in the consistency of the results. All the "marketing" is different companies trying to resolve the variations because airsofters want something that is reliable and consistent. The reason why there IS no consistency is that every manufacturer works to their own tolerances and goals and airsofters by and large are too dumb/gullible to work that out so you end up with what started out as a perfectly reasonable standard gun "upgraded" with loads of shiny bits from different manufacturers, none of which actually work properly TOGETHER.

Notionally it's just yeeting TAG rounds like any other toob. The reason I bring it up is that the video specifically talks about using sights to put a round on target, i.e. shooting as flat as possible, which is exactly what caused the injury shown.
It's literally like any other launcher. The video actually says that the iron sights are useless at giving enough elevation to get any useful range but that the sight mount will which again, is no different than any other launcher.

One of my buddies has one and I've had to work on it.
Decent guns until they break and then there's a bunch of proprietary parts that make life a bit complicated. They only really like their own hop unit and the gearbox is shaped in such a way that they only really fit their gears (which isn't entirely an issue as they are pretty tough). Some programmable mosfets won't fit/work because of the way the gearbox is.
The pistol grip can be a bit fragile so make sure not to screw it in too hard if you have to take it off, the PTS EPG is a very good replacement though.

Negative Airsoft should be on your shortlist. He's replaced the basic MOSFETs on pews with those from Perun so if anyone can retrofit your Krytac, he can.
He's done it on guns with standard gearboxes but not a Krytac P90.

For brass instruments like trumpet or trombone they have these "snake brush" which is some nylon brush at the end of a flexible spring (plastic coated to prevent scratching)
If we make something similar for airsoft with a small brush (wholly plastic like a toothbrush) tied to a paracord or something non-metal, it will work similarly or like a real steel bore snake
Key thing is everything has to be plastic because it has to be softer than aluminium and brass to prevent scratching
Toothbrush exists so the technology is there, just a matter of making it sized correctly to go through 6 mm tubes
Bonus feature: make it clip onto its own tail and make a loop, and then it can be powered by you full autoing the gun for automatic cleaning
Snake brushes are plastic coated because they have to go around bends. Now, unless your barrel is more fucked than any cleaning rod will fix as long as the diameter of the brush stem is less than the bore of the barrel it won't come into contact with the barrel surface anyway.
Or literally just use a bore snake for a .22 rifle.

Good point, well presented.
Does it do it with a 7.4v battery?
