  1. Pity G&G don't use them instead of Dairy Lea ETU units, especially on their higher price guns nice to know it works well, but wish they was cheaper, even £50 inc shipping is a bit much I'm being a bit miffed, but mainly coz the G&G unit is so shit (some people have been lucky and works fine still even on 7.4v, but there are a lot of issues with ETU's) Paying a bit above other similar guns, to then have to be faced with replacing something that is so defective spending around £50 or so, or at least a tenner converting it back to basic trigger plus time/cost is a wank G&G - lovely looking guns, but jeez some of their ideas & innovations have made matters worse not more reliable G&G R&D dept: ETU design & testing... The most annoying thing is that you can't just plug a basic mosfet in due to the 4 thin wire lead, one is power, then a signal to each of 3 switches (power, trigger, col switch & slector switch at back of trigger unit) so the fucking thing is only for the ETU & can't drop a basic mosfet or warfet or owt in there so you are faced with another Dairy Lea G&G ETU mosfet, luckily the Perun option but still not cheap or rip the whole lot out and start again old school real PITA these fancy bespoke units - especially with G&G's reliability (ultra sarcasm)
  2. Yup ETU 1 is red and the ETU unit is fucking wanked wanked wanked Had a FFR2 A2, changed motor and it blew the ETU - WTF ??? Ripped it all out, old school trigger switch, 13:1 etc... So me personally that is what I would do or there is the option of Perun unit but it ain't ultra cheap.... https://www.taiwangun.com/en/wires-lasers/g-g-etu-upgrade-kit-perun?from=listing&campaign-id=19 Yeah it is very tricky to install (sarcasm) but supposed to work properly http://perunairsoft.pl/products/gg-etu-upgrade-kit/ but me personally I'd rip it all out and go back to traditional old school trigger coz G&G will still be a bit Dairy Lea, Perun won't leave you much change out of say £60 with shipping and for that price, I could spend on 13:1, 25~30k motor, steel rack piston & cheap basic or diy (non burst bollox) mosfet (you got 22k motor so forget the 25/30k motor, maybe 16:1 gears, 13:1's might be a bit too quick unless you short stroke on 11.1v a couple of bushings under spur & maybe bevel, basic mosfet, normal switch, steel rack piston (shs blue perhaps & cyma piston head or something that provides good seal, run on 11.1v sorted) Well that is likely what I'd do but to each their own - but fuck G&G's ETU bollox imho PS - looking at your pic, you might need a new COL, as it looks a bit different to reg v3 COL (the lug that pops the reg trigger trolley looks to be set back to activate the micro switch on ETU trigger board) see that wedge bit on right of arm, looks different to the G&G one in your ETU box so a steel SHS COL might be needed to go old school, I noticed when I checked your pic - just saying Before you do owt, test the board is completely dead by just having motor out of box change fuse, but likely it is fucked mine went a bit wanky, kept blowing fuses with motor out of box and got hot yeah fuck that shitty unit right off I decided
  3. Bit confused here.... It "sounds" like a possible COL but gun is new-ish or recently purchased (but then 2 round burst on auto sounds odd) Ahhh but it is an ETU fuck pig so that would explain a burst on auto (but that would be 3rnd or potential 5rnd burst option on ETU2 units) Now we know the common AK selector issue going from semi/auto/semi etc... But this TWO round burst is a bit odd - should be 3 (and/or 5 round burst) on ETU I would have thought but still get single shot semi & then 3 (or 5 option on blue etu2) or just auto on ergh auto First of all - what battery are you using ETU's can/do play up on 7.4v so best to run on 9.6v or 11.1v, (11.1v is best perhaps) (normally, iffy etu's simply refuse to work on lower 7.4v, but wondering if lower volts causing an issue) Secondly - RTFM (Read The Fucking Manual) for info about setting/changing the burst mode COULD be an iffy ETU - the main unit near battery, as they are made from Dairy Lea Turn off/disable the burst mode (RTFM) and start again so semi & auto operates correctly In that sort of gun, I would have just used 11.1v with 18k motor to get you near say 20rps and with the 22k you should be on or just a whisker over 20rps It appears to be crane stock AK so assume the battery goes under the hood/dust cover which this battery MIGHT be about your limit - but YOU need to check it will fit (inc wires) https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-1300mah-3s-25-50c-lipo-airsoft-pack.html?queryID=c2ca5915ed20ee36fc43e6fc49de517d&objectID=31045&indexName=hbk_live_magento_en_us_products RTFM, check your battery is OK, and give us a bit more info... it might be a moody selector, but the etu causes more issues in some guns than it is supposed to solve or if gun is still in warranty contact retailer (hmm good luck with that) but I'm a little confused with 2rnd burst in both modes so if possible read manual, turn off burst etc... and update us with a bit more info perhaps

  5. It is an updated D-Boys 416 or rather 614 or BI-8001 or 801 (or other variation of codes/styles) They chucked in the outer extension barrel on the 614 but had a shorter barrel on mine My 416/614 had a horrid clear plastic hop unit I think, that never really held its setting and mediocre at best & gearbox was a 7mm bearing reinforced V2, meaning it needing a bit of modding to fit 13:1's mine were front wired with a PEQ box, that got rewired to rear Gun is pretty weighty as it is Aside from a few meh bits n bobs it is a pretty decent cheap 416 without trades cheaper than the WE 888 416, though the D-Boy does need a few tweaks where some cost corners were cut (fine if you don't mind a bit of DIY, maybe not for others who are not wanting to gut their new peew peew) Nice to see a better hop unit and longer barrel on this model Might be a 8mm box by now, think D-Boys have just used/sold/changed the name & revised their 614 a bit Nice budget 416's, needs a tweak but overall I'm pleased with my 416/614's for what I paid for them NB: sorry to crash thread, would love to see if the box has been updated when you get a chance nice purchase & review btw (mods - please delete this post as it would likely spoil an excellent review of new 416)

  8. Is JustBB still a bad company in 2020? think it is a bad company whatever the year or vintage (it ain't like fine wine that gets better with age) so is still a bad company... seriously they are the LAST company I would ever order from OnlyBBGuns or BBGuns4Less are a tiny tiny bit better than Jambwow But ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING !!! coz they still sell crappy plinkers mostly but they do sell some stuff that isn't complete $hit I'm NOT recommending this but here is an example.... https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/cyma-cm517-m4-with-ras-handguard-in-blue.html Now that ain't bad at first glance with free ship & if you get a discount code BUT I will lay money that is gonna be a hot 390fps gun so needs downgrading so money you thought you might save over a 330fps one at a decent retailer or buying a better G&G Raider or something, will be lost getting it downgraded (or time for somebody to sort it out, plus still be a cheapo Cyma M4 model) So the best advice before parting with money on buying the best gun evvvaaaaaa is to have a butchers & pop back with some links of what you are considering Honestly - don't make some of mistakes many of us made buying stuff from Mickey Mouse Alright Geez Dominic at BBGuns4Less sells some half decent stuff (but most stuff on there is back garden plinky stuff) Same as Only - aka iWholesales sell some stuff but many are not so great So be careful what you fall in love with & not just the cheap pricing When buying your first gun...

      Definitely not healthy out there.  Waiting to see if anything goes wrong with the trees in the garden or if the brook across the road bursts its banks again!  Downloaded IOM TT on Xbox Gold so might have to give that a run out, otherwise back to RE2 Remastered (dear god, I'd forgotten how good it was!)

  10. That is a lot of money when really you only need this..... PS I love the 18yr warning about this not a f**king toy
  11. it has but I've hung up my guns now I reckon (long story - even by my war & peace standards) just before stuff hit the fan I got hold of these motors..... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/PermTerminator-Ultra-Custom-M160-High-Twist-Type-High-Speed-Motor-High-Torque-AEG-Motor-Short-Axis/2042149112.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.16.46e8542f3EI3Q9&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_3_10065_10068_10130_10547_319_317_10548_10696_10192_10190_453_10084_454_10083_10618_10307_10820_10301_10821_10303_537_536_10902_10059_10884_10887_321_322_10103,searchweb201603_51,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=b8d37fa9-7fde-446f-88e1-aee119a81029-2&algo_pvid=b8d37fa9-7fde-446f-88e1-aee119a81029&transAbTest=ae803_3 & https://www.dx.com/p/gear-motor-for-m180-m4-m16-mp5-g3-m14-power-upgraded-airsoft-aeg-2001815#.XHx0WcD7TIU the blue looked nice with vents at about 28k & red one at about 22k both are neodym with alloy ends that seemed to mesh nicely with SHS bevels but everything got packed away so never got round to putting them through their paces they looked pretty decent and not too crazy or expensive both with D pinions so easier to change than ASG O pinions I only really popped in coz such a slow day today and wondered how you guys were doing then f*ck me necro post nearly four years of the HC05 - but thought I'd best point out the BD M160 is too quick/hot yeah chaps - you don't want them crazy mofo motors - way too hot & OTT if you know how to build a good box well I just popped back as it was so quiet today etc.... Duck Jnr is half way through his first year at Uni - 19 years old - jeeeeeeez seem like only last month we racked up at TWA urban site (soon closed) at Crystal Palace/Anerley Hill Glad to see you guys & this place still around
  12. The only correction to all that crap is try NOT to buy a Big Dragon M160 motor Yes it is fast as f*ck but draws way too much - it is a cheap fast high speed motor I'd say a smidge quicker than SHS High Speed - again try to avoid High Speed Motors (they drain you battery very quickly and generate more heat) The Big Dragon I originally thought was the dogz nutz but eventually too much heat long term will lead to bearings in motor armature itself crapping out (trust me) A "balanced" 27~30k motor like along the lines of SHS HT - but I've been away a while so unsure on any new stuff but around that spec Still think DSG's are over-rated, most long term box fiddlers might agree with this but new comers are often blinded by high ROF is everything and must get/build one - naaaahhhhhh 13:1 gears, Short Stroke if you wish & balanced motor will get you into the twenties which is plenty on 7.4v 25c (unless you are over compensating for crap shooting ability like I was/am) Just a quick note in case people thinking of buying the awesome BD M160 - maybe not it will crap out due to ultra high speed and heat generated and you will need extra batteries (trust me) A more sensible motor will run cooler, draw less amps and last longer (if done properly) and when paired with a 13:1 gear set will produce same results as dumping a HS motor in reg box but Amps/Watts will be much lower and battery/box will last longer than a reg box with M160 motor Another thing is that ORIGINALLY G&G DID make a DSG with cut off lever cams though this was a limited production run way before HC05 was made maybe they had to pull it for copyright issues with Seigetek so pulled the 3mm axle with cams then made a 5mm axle no semi cam DSG - yeah WTF ??? see here on an old Amazon Japan site pic shows the 3mm axle and cut off cams.... This was probably the gear set option showcased by G&G at the 2015 Shot Show with 3mm axle & COL cams Alas the HC05 went into production with crappy 5mm axle & no semi DSG gear - absolutely stupid idea So yeah - avoid the G&G HC05 & perhaps a QUICK UPDATE - lol on the M160 motor is way too quick (just in case you think of getting one of those bad bot motors as they really are quick - ergh too quick & warm running) Just a quick update, mainly in case people are thinking of buying the M160 motor - old review of mine and my choice today would be a 30k not 45k motor (ultra high speed & heat is not the be all & end all I have learnt the hard way) Edit - pasted the SHS DSG on Amazon instead of the old G&G one - doooh my bad removed the SHS link & updated.... G&G did originally make a 3mm axle DSG gear with COL cams (probably showcased in 2015 but likely pulled due to copyright issues) So they made the poxy 5mm axle no semi gear instead - stupid doesn't even cover it see here G&G's Riot rip-off clone DSG with 3mm axles & COL cams no longer made if only they had put this in or come to an agreement with Riot/SHS or something the HC05 would have had semi https://www.amazon.co.jp/ARMAMENT-G-10-102-Double-Sector-Gear/dp/B007JQGHPK
  13. If you have done the above then you "should" be looking at.... 24rps on 7.4v & 37rps plus on 11.1v That is about the best I have come up with on 13:1 SHS HT bushings & SS a few of teeth m115 etc... Even then when I used a 11.1v 33c on a 10 sec auto burst it hit 40rps & ripped the rack out (PME) Suffice to say there is always a limit- especially on UK 350 fps guns A UK regular gun (full stroke not Short Stroked) will be limited to mid 20's due to lower spring/fps Around 20~25rps you start getting overspin - GUN IS STARTING TO TALK TO YOU Serious overspin & beyond is where gun starts to shoot twice on semi - TAKING THE PI$$ NOW Keep pushing a gun like this and and you will be rebuilding your gearbox and picking out bits of teeth soon (it is not a question of IF but actually how soon you WILL be reopening your gearbox) Best bit of advice - use a 25~30c 7.4v to hit mid 20's Drop the 11.1v is a std gun (with a mosfet perhaps) to boost a sluggish gun The 25rps limit is a sensible limit in the end without going nutz doing more work/homework Yes if you use a m120 SS a few teeth you will get into the 30's (low to mid 30's) again even with a bit of homework like I did you still hit a ceiling of high 30's~40rps So you have to understand and grasp the fact there are limits especially on UK spec guns and what Legacy says for USA 40rps guns does not translate 101% for UK guns This backed up by first Krytacs imported (grey imports) came with a 30k motor on a m100 not m120 They eventually started to use slower 20k motor as 30k & m100 risked PME if 11.1v used on UK guns (wasn't a dead certain piston would strip but 330fps was sailing closer to PME than US 400 fps guns) Feeding problems are yet another ball ache.... Correct nozzle length Max tappet retraction - not delay/duration but distance retracted without bottoming out Checking for hop/bucking lips tight/fouling Magazines - some work some not so great Mid Caps are not always better than High Caps, they can jam (had that before) People describing faults incorrectly.... My gun is firing two bb's at once - unlikely more like it is mis-feeding/mis-chambering a bb then next bb loads and two bb's appear out of barrel eg: 1 - 1 - 1 - 0 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 0 - 2 - 1 - 1 etc..... The above is likely tight bucking lips or fouling of lips causing it to mis-feed/chamber then next bb does load and fire OK so two bb's appear out of barrel and everyone loses their $hit But it is NOT double feeding but mis-feeding/chambering On M4's some mags mat shift hop a little and this tiny smidge can effect feeding or fps even Some info on hop problems - well worth a watch: Wouldn't start modding hop units tbh unless you really know what you are doing and 200% sure I DO NOT SUGGEST MODDING HOPS !!!!! BUT some of the TESTS like the bb push test for tight bucking lips is why I posted this Well worth a watch if you have mis-feed issues to check hop/bucking BUT there are many reasons why some guns have feed issues as I tried to list If the nozzle retracts only 5mm then is doesn't matter if a delay clip holds back the tappet for 1 hour It will never allow a 5.95mm bb to feed if it retracts only just over 5mm say This is backed up but rapid 50rps+ DSG's don't use delay clips - coz they can't They might use a tiny sleeve/pipe over two sector tappet cams to nudge the retraction a whisker but they can't use a big delay clip due to rapid cycling of gun & ultra short fin/tappet retraction timings I was the exact same - go faster guns are everything alas it is not that easy to achieve on UK guns After a sharp learning curve of wrecking more guns than I "thought" I fixed I eventually came to understand the limits and problems a lot more over the years After understanding this and a likely limit of mid 20's for reg build guns I no longer give a f*ck how quick a gun cycles past say 20rps (Twenties is plenty tbh) I now no longer listen to how quick a gun cycles in final rps but more so how ssmmmoooooootttthhh is cycles plus how well the gun & the owners operates together (efficiency/accuracy plus if the owner is dick or not) Long rant - but main point of reply is to ease up on the juice perhaps if your gun is cycling as quick as I think it might be it won't be long before stuff fails I personally would wind it back a bit where less PME risk and likely feeds better (but mainly for reducing risk of PME) up to you but trying to help you learn from mine & others mistakes than make the exact same ones as me & others did at first
  14. I knew it, it's them new mods they f*cked it up. L3wisD - what did you press - than button that said " DO NOT PRESS ", you just had to go and press it didn't ya ???

      is it just me or when tesla says "our car is less likely to do x than normal cars" i read that as the polar opposite.

       

      can't recall the last time heard of a normal car (ie not a ferrari or something like that) spontaneously bursting into flames for no apparent reason.

      True but on the other hand it doesnt make the news for other companies either each time something happens either 

  16. Oddly enough they had a promo running that they ended a week early without warning - ended on about 14th/15th May where as anybody who has been a GF customer that more often than not they extend these promotions https://gunfire.pl/-Hot-Shot-SPECIAL-OFFER-TERMS-CONDITIONS-cinfo-eng-1140.html the Hot Shot promo was due to end on 21-05-2018 about 2:00pm UK time previously it would be be quite usual to extend this date another week maybe but it ended a week earlier - without warning ???? now they do say they can retract this offer early if they decide but very out of character or out of the usual practice they have used in the past Hope anybody with pending orders/payments gets this matter resolved asap
  17. Still took your money and shipped from same place though..... well - like I say the GF points has gone a bit $hit lately what remains of the now limited range of freebies
  18. Really ??? well lately the GF points have gone to $hit used to get the odd freebie now & then - that came in handy perhaps heck even a 1kg bag of Rocket bb's is ok for nowt but they scaled back on the range of items to buy for points about 3 months ago Actually TWG used to do something similar too but was phasing it out in 2014 when I started (no such thing as a free lunch/suppressor I guess)
  19. yup - some of the offers at GF & TWG are insane GF still do free shipping on 225 Euro orders - unlike TWG who stopped free shipping a month or so ago
  20. Why do most people come here AFTER they have scammed from that fat lying c@nt chubby Jambwow bastid - feel the quality - my f*cking ar$e preaching to converted m8... great marketing idea - somebody print up some chubby JambWow targets - make a f*cking mint
  21. Oi Taiwangun wtf is the deal now you stopped free shipping to UK ??? No matter how much you buy everybody else gets free shipping on £200 or €225 but no more UK. When did this crap start, was still free last month coz nearly tempted to buy more crap in my basket. WTF gives mofo's.... 8BuJuiR.png

      We got another 12 months yet - jeeez

       

      It is/was a good alternative to GF, but limited stock

      Some stuff was cheaper/more expensive

      Mainly problem was if all the bits you wash thinking of

      Well rarely has stuff all been in stock

       

      You wait for something to arrive in stock soon

      Then run out of of 1 or two items you had in ya basket

      FFS, now I gotta buy more crap to get free delivery again

       

      Oh well - GF has more to offer and free delivery

      So they shot themselves in foot perhaps I feel

      More of a heads up to others (and a moan)

      Heh, I was running baskets on TaiwanGun and GunFire, trying to get everything that I wanted in stock in one place at one time.  In the end, TaiwanGun came closest at the point where I ran out of patience, but they're both running pretty low amounts of stock at the moment.

      I find airsoft a pain in the backside with stuff not being in stock anywhere and when it is the delivery can be more than the item sometimes if you just need the one part GRRR!!!

  22. Well with mid caps, you are advised to half fill them for a while to run them in a bit (I still use biggest hi-caps possible coz I need all the help & ammo I can carry....)

  24. Best thing is to read the tutorials/guides in the beginners section first perhaps In case it fails to display in my sig.... New players - please - pretty please read the guides first in New Players Section An absolute must read is this one: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17294-ians-guide-to-noobism-on-a-tight-budget/ & http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/30038-budget-of-ll-lll-what-gun-to-choose/#entry232449 plus a search is less keystrokes that creating same ol' new posts again & again - what to buy etc.... Most stuff will be covered I would say, LOADS of info, wish I found this before (made a few bad first purchases and wotnot - could have avoided that if I read up first) Glance over the guides if you still have a question then ask away sir PS - welcome to the forum
