SHS Torque should do it you are not fully compressing the m170 btw shoot ak2m4 a msg and see if he has any

FaceBook banning sales me thinks and probably people realising that there is more to life than FB I've just stubbed my toe so I'll upload a pic soon I can't decide on this or that pouches so I'll have to post a pic and see what my friends think best Oh wait I have no friends - ahhh bollox then

My wife would say I got enough guns already

Please not a R85.... well whatever - they are much cheaper than UK

indoor cqb sites often get developed so most sites are outdoor/woodland I would say indoor - cammo don't quite work unless you are dressed as concrete blocks or red bricks though dark clothing for dim or shadow areas - anything else is what you feel comfortable in first game - jeans - trainer boots at a push but some boots or something with ankle supprt full face mask if its up close stuff and either a wooly hat or something on ya head to avoid any scrapes if you have some ol' knee pads from skateboarding/cycling bring them as often ya knees can take pounding on hard floors eyepro is a must but if renting site will supply stuff - good boots & optional hat knee pads sweatshirt or hoodie will do - especially if its a bit chilly a chilled out attitude and less ego - call ya hits and don't get too stressed if people sometime don't always call the hits you think you got with (I say think as often just coz you are aiming their way don't mean you have deffo got them - unless you see the bb hit 'em but still chill a bit) try to play fair, observe the marshal & site rules, don't worry if you fail to get an awesome k/d bollox - just have fun

Think the short Raider is "maybe" a tad too short and tbh I'm not a great fan of longer M4's at 350mm or over barrels 275-300mm is what I think a good nice size all rounder but this is more looks and personal preference I guess Though some say around 230-270 bb's start to stabilise and all that in barrel - but wtf I'm going by my choice of looks Now if you decide to change out barrel hop etc.. and have a small suppresor on there you could select a 250-275mm tbb that shouldn't be affected by volume of cylinder too much and should help improve upon things though you should get a better hop I feel otherwise you may be fitting new wiper blades on a cracked windscreen maybe I would go down the hop & maybe barrel bit first - you fps should creep up a little as well as improved bb flight Like I said I have had a SRC shooting 355fps but no way would it outrange a 300fps TM gun a little bit fps really means f*ck all accuracy wise just as high rof means f*ck all if you are that $hit at playing like me yes G&G green buckings are pretty good but could be a bit out of whack/bad fitting/moved a bit remove hop/barrel - look to see when you wind on hop the nub/ridge is quite centered quite common the ridge is lopped sided = shooting left/right (try gently twisting barrel a smidge - a real slight smidge to get the ridge centered) a H nub you could try or some buckings like shs have a groove to help bb sit more center in barrel a couple of buckings at least should be tried coz ya old bucking could be worn/shot/torn That is where you should spend a bit of time - honest stop thinking about shopping for bits that may not do much if your hop/bucking/barrel is still $hit

if its a std G&G red motor..... ANYTHING - a dildo motor has more grunt in it (so I'm told) some stock motors are a bit better than others like ICS ones seem a bit quicker than G&G stock ferrites but don't buy one - get shs torque if buying new

what model cm16 ??? Long 357 or short 230 barrel barrel lengths and the cm16 range varies greatly so for anybody to even "guess" the spring will be a bit stab in the dark tbh normally Element m105 to shs m110 on shorter barrels AoE drops fps by about 10-15fps but bearing spring guide pulls you back by adding 15fps aprox piston head is $hit seal - never got a great seal with stock G&G piston head myself nozzle shs red m4 but might be a whisker too long for some guns/boxes (it is not as easy as it looks at first - there's loads of stuff to check when upgrading/servicing the box) Long barrel m105 short barrel m110 that is my guess but depending on gun it will only be a rough guess until chrono and depends greatly on seals everywhere If it is still down you can add a bearing spring guide as I said heck if you wanted just pop in a bearing spring guide as is to boost 15fps but without more work AoE etc... I wouldn't go mental on the juice or change motor it really is a question how far you wish to go and fps means little if shooting a bit crap - no spring will change that - it is hop/bucking/barrel as said before tbb may up your fps by 10 or so anyway

(bet you don't waffle as much as me though ) This guys knows how to talk the talk and deffo can walk the walk as both tech and player Samurai's wisdom and experience is way more than mine will ever be..... Think we have all learnt - well think many of us are all still learning, but hopefully stopped learning the hard way a bit

http://www.airsoftsociety.com/forums/f10/legacys-guide-building-high-speed-aeg-87504/ What I will say you must or highly suggest you should do: bushings - not bearings - they will just collapse under stress unless you want to pay £30 ceramics and even then under gears bushings still best AoE - sorbothane+neoprene mix shs blue full metal rack piston - their other mixture pistons are not for high speed (do not take the extreme pi$$ though with full metal rack - yes plastic/metal is wise but long term durability full metal rack is best imho) deans + rewire with a MOSFET - think most people squeezing max speed/rof/response - whatever crap you wanna call it - many will be using this stuff anyway o-ring nozzle but ensure it is exactly the same length or stay on original if unsure - a smidge too long and feed trouble, too short loss of fps/seal (so if fitting an o-ring nozzle too short and lose fps you may as well stick with stock nozzle) delay clip most likely will help neodym motor - say shs torque is a good choice pulling stuff with a good increase over stock motors but there will come a point where speed becomes a problem and more work and more problems occur as you go on.... lame stock guns fire 13 to 15rps out of box aprox...... now you can get these near 20 by using 11.1v lipo but mosfet is wise consideration over time or powerful motor eg: shs torque neodym - but will get starved a bit on stock small tamiya - so deans BUT do not combine neodym motor & 11.1v straight away - yes you will be getting high twenties but risk smashing f*ck out of box Pre Engagement will take place as you get near 30rps on a stock gun with a stock m100 spring I'll end repeating myself over and over again...... I would suggest - sticking on stock gears tbh - why coz you wanna learn to crawl/walk before you try to run/sprint You can still hit a decent rof, your motor won't struggle and need a stronger one straight away You fit a mosfet/rewire/deans etc.... now you can run 11.1v if seeking more speed Look - think/decide just how fast you wanna go but most on here stick to twenty's as we have learnt: Twenty's is plenty & it will last and nearly all mags - even crappy cheap high caps will feed fine When you try to run 30+ lots of trouble and increased wear & failure tends to take place Also good players do not need to overkill and hose people down - yes response n stuff is great but it is the player's awareness & response not the gun's rof that usually wins the game

101% agree with hop/bucking see how that goes first barrel - hmmm perhaps but most stuff is down to bucking/nub really 317 is nothing to worry about - TM's are often 300 so worry when you dip below that - you are fine atm Maybe in 6 months or so then she might have dropped and by then you can decide your next internal options/service Bronzey bushings may be wearing a bit by then AoE new spring nozzle and maybe piston head etc..... but still this is 6 months off and even 349.9999fps won't matter a toss really if shooting a bit iffy try also different bb's - makes and weight up to .25 if shooting further range targets cqb - 0.20's will be fine unless something is really out of whack (yes you can use .25's in cqb of course - the weight is optional but decent bb's over $hit/so-so bb's any day) For what it is worth - think 9 out of 10 owners are always thinking their guns could be a bit better (in my case, me personally could be shooting a lot better too)

Couldn't resist buying a £20 silly costume - which is nothing compared to the "normal" stuff My biggest regret was leaving a torch and the £10 duck call quacky lanyard at home I wanted to go quack each time instead of HIT or just run around driving everybody nuts running out of breath going quack quack quack up n down the stairs etc.... (f*ck me brought the kitchen sink and about half a dozen guns n supplies - how the heck I forgot such an important accessory ?) Not wearing it to woodland - in case that red neck billy bob farmer shoots me with a real gun - I'm daft but not stupid Guys, next time have the option of fancy dress - either Reservoir Dogs / Matrix suited n booted or Rocky Horror Show if you into that stuff (not me - keep laddering them stockings) Seriously - or rather not so seriously to be exact, if we do this once or twice a year then we could make a change from usual soldier stuff But yeah it was fun - sorry if I didn't chat to all of ya, I've probably forgot some people's faces but will never forget the great laugh we all had for those that didn't go.... imagine this bell-end with full face & running with a quacky FireHawk

11.1v lipo read all of this: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/29958-new-member-g-g-cm16-predator-firing-issue/ get 2 x lipo's from component shop if keeping v3 stock or get stubby good idea for ETU from G&G but again just badly implemented should work with 7.4v in manual but it don't and cuts out or don't last long on lower juice 11.1v will be fine - it has the mosfet in there and with lame G&G motor & stock gearing it won't be too insane (aprox 20rps - so will feel much more snappy)

No - coz that lady kicked my geriatric ar$e making me feel both old and useless... Oh wait - I am old & useless Yeah - wtf, I like having a meet up at different sites and you ain't too far away either

He WAS IS Bruce Willis - I'm sure he said yipee kai yay mothf**ker a few times (anybody who runs TOWARDS the terminator is either very good or stupid - I'd say stupidly good)

I would like to apologise to any of my team I kept shooting by mistake one poor sod think I shot him twice or more - but you guys were all great sports Also if you shot my feathery ar$e or podgy fluffy belly I may not have felt it but think we all played great and fair Plus we got stuck in without any ego's or win at any cost crap - just pure peew peew peew enjoyment Marshal's were spot on, my FFR2 was too hot but hey ho their chronoing was bang on Relaxed and friendly but very experienced and just straight talking down to earth normal players themselves.... Some may say about the breaks between games but gave us a chance for smoke and catch up/pi$$ take etc.... The layout and games were pretty damn good and numbers just right too Trigger - jeez, I pity the sods playing today who are up against him (I managed to get him just once compared his slaughtering of me numerous times) And he said he was just messing about - yeah wise move me staying in today to wash my hair/feathers

Aye cheers Trigger for sorting it all out & also to Proffrink too for pyro's It was a right laugh - good night out with some good players well worth the trip - many thanks to all who turned up to shoot me

psssst - a lot of metal used in receivers and gearboxes is just $hit pot metal a number of really old airsoft boxes just crumble away but mine sleep in my bed though missus gets the hump it is a toy gun, it WILL break in time when it does THEN look at options all the time it is in bits is lost time playing peew peew peew but up to you

200% agree on this - if you take any pride in what you do you ensure you do it right or just don't bother even if customer is an idiot and 4 months ??? soz there was one with a cross eyed dude but couldn't find it & tbh can't be ar$ed OP - don't worry I'm crap at upgrading too - I know a lot why guns break though Oh yeah I'm the dogz nutz at that bit - coz I break nearly every gun I touch in fact the only guns that still work are ones that remain un-duck'd yeah quite a lot of my guns are well ducked you could say

jeeez - at best the dsg pulls 60% max of spring's rating with spacers n crap..... tbh - your m8 would of been better off with 12:1 gears m130 and knock off say 3 or 4 teeth one thing I'd love to know - who the f*ck was the "tech" - surely he would of known it would be worse than a JBBG springer ok stop calling me Shirley So why would he have built it - ok customer spec but thought anybody who was worth owt would of shouted how $hit it would be and still I'd of thought - nah soz m8 it would be total $hit I wouldn't bother doing it - honest he used dual sector gears.... one the sector is dsg shs dsg's are designed to work with stock 18:1 or 16:1 gears if you kept stock gears - bevel + spur then due to some FH's having 8 teeth on bevel ratio is down to nearly 22:1 so on a dsg your actual gearing is just 11:1 being anal I know but really think dsg's are over rated - well for us in UK and if still on stock motor & tamiya no fet it is like a badly thought through build I'm afraid yes you could put in a m170 spring but watch out that is one mofo to get in there mine might have been only a m150-m160 but was using 10mm piston spacer & bearing spring guide to up the spring and that took about 10 attempts no lie to get in there that is one of a few reasons why I think dsg is not that great Short Stroking is a better option and less chance of spring flying out as you close up the box

what is up with present receiver ??? is it not metal anyway ??? http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=3168 yes it should be possible to drop it into another m4 receiver or body it isn't the sr25 extended gearbox so should go into another another "normal" M4 receiver ok (there might be a small amount of filing but nothing really) It is a M4 toy gun - Tokyo Marui compatible blah blah blah.... truth is a lot of TM compatible stuff will need a smidge of work/file to fit in properly in other stuff (get used to it - very rare does everything in perfectly 101% everytime - though receivers usually aren't way out) Just wondering what's up with present receiver as you are thinking of re-shelling everything On some receivers the thread for the RIS can be different and/or some 416 receivers can have the upper receiver rail a bit higher/lower than a RIS you are installing So yeah it can be done but a bit of work and you might if unlucky run into a stumbling block if not 100% compatible if gun works - use it and leave stripping her down until she breaks if it ain't broke - don't try to fix it !!! wish I took that advice on occasions

Wise reminder... I got a bit of drive home afterwards so it would be absolutely insane for me to even consider that Besides I shoot $hit when I'm sober so I'd probably be more of danger to myself let alone others if I'm pi$$ed

I defend my $hit teching skills with a simple If you don't wan't ya gun to break on ya and last for years n years.... HANG IT ON THE F*CKING WALL (ok everybody chime in - or buy TM/Krytac - nope I'll break those - even if Tonka made aeg's I bet I can break them too) Sad fact I actually enjoy seeing what breaks and just how much - ahhh yeah maybe that was pushing it a bit too far it is always gonna break on its weakest part - wow no $hit sherlock but true - you can put in Siegtek gears etc.... but means jack if the rest is crap & not up to the stress ahh well jog on

getting silly but wtf

Must have been pure agony more like But even the ultra high precision of G&G - ppppaaaaaaaaaaah Even G&G's have their faults End of the day to all gun owners - it is your gun at end of the day and your money I'm sure any gun that was bad in past will improve I mean, c'mon if they was THAT BAD, they gotta improve - can't get much worse if something is that crap No I ain't saying Ares or SRC or other gun makes are that bad I pull apart - no really I rip apart any gun I get and if its good I praise it imho if it is crap I will slate it in a very brutal way no punches pulled I don't own an Ares so I can't comment, if I did have one I'm sure it would be a an epic review (probably have to turn into a movie & 12 part mini TV series spin-off to cover it) If you like your Honey Badger or you like you Badger Honey - stop calling me honey/Shirley Then fine - it is your gun, your money and tbh don't worry what others might say in the end
