It will certainly help - it won't make matters worse and I presume you have got deans and not Small Tamiya small tamiya, multiple breaks/joins in wiring, thinner stock wire, and the motor connectors needs a possible blob on 90 degree bend/elbow You need the thickest wire from battery - fet & motor you can get in there fet signal wires - tiny thin crap - heck 26awg is fine though wouldn't go any thinner deans - least joins/breaks in wire etc.... - then motor connectors is next resistance Sounds like a v2 - it was v3 I say consider solder wires to motor BUT only if all running 101% sweet but that would be on v3 - if v2 don't solder wires direct to motor coz its a git to service gearbox later (just try to blob the bends - or the connectors will just blow like a thin blade fuse under stress) Your setup on 12:1 & high torque motor will unleash 30+ rps on a 7.4v - 25c to 35c battery (if you are way below that it is coz there is lots or resistance/choking it) That setup you are fitting together is quite a beefy setup - and I strongly advise: DO NOT CONNECT 11.1V TO GUN OR PRE ENGAGEMENT MAY TAKE PLACE !!!!!! No offense but doubt if you did all your homework coz 11.1v will go too fast and smash f*ck out of piston/box 12:1 gears might have been a little too much perhaps(12.65:1 ratio me thinks) you have effectively increased cycle speed by 50% on gears & also the neo motor another 40 to 50% so you have doubled the stock speed at least onm old gears n motor but wiring is still stock - jeez oh n spam on semi - keep firing on just semi say 2 shots per second for a minute (120 single shots in a minute) Then you will know what a warm gun is like - it is like a mega stress test some mosfet guy on youtube does to test his work (the guy really knows his stuff - way more than I will ever know) Actually don't do it for too long - actually don't do it at all until you have rewired and reduced resistance points like I said earlier (your stock wiring will deffo not be able to cope) SOZ - mega OTT reply but that is some serious oooooomphy setup - ya gonna get a bit of heat especially if spamming - DEFINATELY WITH $HIT WIRE and only doing the job half done so to speak

or two, or three.........

Build it, but paint it vivid 2tone orange/black Then own everybody with a JBBG looking gun And wipe their smug grins of there snobby faces (well that is what I wanna do for laughs)

That wasn't in a game - that was his ex when she found out how much he REALLY spent on guns

LOL - yup I got shot in the ol' chap but first time I admitted because everyone says blimey he must have had a powerful scope cheeky bastids - got shot smack bang on it - think it was shaft rather than stingy ouchy bell end OK OK - FFS DUCK WAY TOO MUCH INFO AND PLEASE NO PICTURES OF ALL PLACES - at Epsom Tunnels in the gloomy darkness ffs - yes that tiny area - but not that tiny still if it had hit the balls/sack/bell-end that could of hurt a lot more just a little lower etc..... Only blokes understand the uncertain delicate area down there..... you can take a wallop in ya crutch and think - wow that ain't too bad then drop a reasonable light object in ya lap and be in absolute agony But yeah - JEEEZ FFS MATE - I said Sorry he said.... (F*cking will be next time you are in my sights I thought) but yeah it stung a bit but wasn't quite as bad as I was first expecting - man down, old chap down mayday mayday get some ice

Clean barrel coz it often has crap in it Try a few makes n weight of bb's 0.20 & 0.25 often 25's though heavier maintain better accuracy FPS is not the be all n end all TM often shoot 300fps but outrange many 350fps guns Depending on gun, you can get a ZCI tbb and a metal hop with a couple of different rubbers for about £50 Idea being make up barrel hop etc and swap over with stock barrel etc... If no improvement you ain't boned anything You can buy the best parts in the world but if fitted badly it will be worse than stock Some guns perform really really well out of the box too Chuck money n time at any gun any you can get it to perform better if you know what you are doing But often that wisdom takes time to learn I'm still breaking n learning BTW Your gun won't hit 100m most hit 45 to 60m Max, a good gun a bit more and better groupings but don't believe all the bull$hit out there There is no easy upgrade, you need to see how gun performs first n set hop/sights as best as you can I got a couple of guns that are amazing stock cheapo guns actually 2 of the same ak's One hit a thin aerosol can say 80ft away 4 out of 5 times Others I might only get 1 or 2 ting that can out of 5 Until you try or see what other guns are like compared to yours don't worry You can chuck £100 heck even £200 at a gun and see very little improvement if you blindly think I must change this n that with more expensive stuff Often modest parts fitted well work just as well The gun is only half of it, the skill of the player holding it is what normally gains victory Soz for long lecture but see how your gun performs first and get used to it, no point opening fire on enemy beyond your guns range or your ability And a sniper will often outrange you so pick engagements wisely

MAINTENENCE Look after ya gun And you gun will look after you ???? No Dave its just look after your gun Soz, keep barrel clean Empty mags at end of day or spring in may loses tension result in crap feeding Ensure gun is dry fired on semi to also reduce losing tension on main spring when storing gun Use decent BB's, etc Bottom line only mess n change stuff IF IT REALLY NEEDS IT well until you gain a bit of experience

Wasn't having a pop at you m8, you played wisely with your gun on your first outing Now you can get stuck in more, watch out for that spotty 12yr old though

I might get my Blue Peter Itsy n Bitsy craft box out & have a go myself Looks like best of both worlds without the tortue or face imprint (It's not that I ain't very manly or hard - just if I don't wear full face I scare the younger players)

Thorpe Park - not too far from the Mall in Reading then

Yup, chill chaps. We all camp up or "strategically lay in wait" if you like from time to time Op was at disadvantage and admits he will get better gun to get stuck in more.... £50 or £500 gun - it is still a toy gun And no matter how expensive or good you are You WILL at some point get taken out by some spotty 12 yr old with a JBBG springer/plinker Probably humiliating as you would rather die by stealthy knife kill anyday A sneaky but effective way of winning some games is to hide a man, telling him to stay put n do nothing... That happens and my team lost a good 5mins maybe 10 looking for last bloke Sneaky bastids but fair play to enemy team - think they was trying to bury the bloke alive if they had a bit more time getting ready It is a game, people play differently especially if situation changes. I'm judging nobody - and if I was. I would take a good look at myself first coz I am far from perfect. This may or may not come as a shock to some you chaps somebody post up a YouTube of where is the love ? Or Harry Enfield Scouser's - Alright Alright calm down calm down Just had a re-read of where it started to go off the rails or derailed WHOA THIS TIME IT WAS OFF THE RAILS ALREADY - so don't accuse me of derailing it think it all went a bit pear shape when mention a cheaper gun taking out somebody with a more expensive gun.... Yes - I can relate to that - male competitive ego n such like like beating a BMW M3 at the lights in your mum's Ford Fiesta 1.1L I guess (ahhh long ago memories) but like I said that spotty 12yr old will have you one day with his JBBG springer "BEZ GUN EVVVAAAAAA" But yeah getting a kill is great especially if they would normally have you @ 60m+ & yours is only 40m but the spotty git is gonna take you out @ 20m (yeah there was a strong tailwind helping him) Soz to OP, see if you can limp along with ya AK12, get a decent starter RIF when ya ukara'd then if you want to take your time getting AK a bit better I can help answer any questions on shoving in another box etc... forget metal rails etc..... at best it will be a nice show gun perhaps once done to use a just a backup or the odd outing It is still a very little and not ultra robust gun that won't fair too well if abused or you into trees/walls etc..... But yeah all done up, spray black and punching better it does get some looks and questions thinking you imported it from Russia or something Then they lose interest quickly when you tell 'em what it is - lol (f*ck 'em, I enjoyed doing it anyway)

Tactical Warfare Airsoft Croydon (Addington)

Just give them a call, send 'em the pics in an email etc...... they can give you the true honest answer how much or if its worth fixing heck they might have some s/hand bits n bobs off broken ics's etc...... worth a call I reckon

try fire support - http://www.fire-support.co.uk/ best ics mofo's in UK if you want see if it can fixed up or cut your loses - but deffo check out fire-support as they are probably your best bet for ICS bits

ehhh - it is one of the primary colours All of us now & I'm telling soz very bored n tired best get some kip

jeez some sites are full of more crap than me - I'm loaded with crap btw Yeah bollox - if me & duck jnr turn up then he not got ukara so he got use a jbbg or 2-tone jeez - so why the f*ck can a newbie rental have a RIF and others gotta have an IF f*ck off trying to quote the vcra to us ffs - it is about buying a RIF - owning/gifting/is totally different Oh and here's one for the site's legal team - say I bought my RIF before VCRA came along - perfectly legal back then

cm037 & a cm028 if you want longer mofo - sorted cheaply for cqb and woodland (not 521 or 520 - too cheap) £75 well spent to test the russian water or vodka

put old barrel back - keep clean n 0.25's hopefully will be back as it was use longer barrel in M4 should be better suited I reckon unless you wanna start changing cylinders around for correct volume ratio malarky

bastid v2 semi switch problems It "might" be trigger spring broken though just thought.... on full auto the switch spring will help return the trigger if its spring snapped but on semi - the switch pops up and flies back but trigger hasn't got spring to pull it back no more so you have to manually return trigger and it will relatch onto switch and fire ok on full auto but on semi - it will always happen yeah soz I'm thinking trigger's spring broke now not cut off lever as I first thought now I've re-read symptoms

most companies make them.... but cyma do a very extensive range - avoid if possible the slightly cheaper 5xx cyma ak's or spartac's - rebranded cheap cyma's they are about 10 euro cheaper than the 028 starter cyma's but have a plastic top cover time that breaks being plastic, then it will cost you a tenner to replace - so may as well get a "proper" cyma starter for a tiny bit more Or you can go to the higher end cyma's full metal receiver or go for higher end AK's as a guide 80 euro is gonna be a bit plasticy 100euro should have metal top cover, which is important if you go for folding stock or battery under cover (plastic ones won't last too long with frequent battery change) plastic receiver ain't too bad like on the 028 range of 47's - just avoid plastic top covers as it is false economy in my book

CYMA or JG I guess is most popular cheap AK range

Or just use a bolt sniper or a jbbg springer use what you want - within reason play how you like - within reason also I play for fun, have a laugh, trying not to fall ar$e over tit, seeing if my gun will last the day and thinking I need to get into shape Actually I'm in shape - a big old ball shape that often thinks to myself in lethal weapon style...... I'm too old for this $hit - but wtf is still a laugh

I briefly tried a madbull 510mm in my AK12 project and it kept jamming or clogging I put in a TomTac one which I recently found out is a 455mm ZCI one just with TomTac stamped on it next to the ZCI markings straight away shots were flying out lovely n straight - same bucking same hop so unless I did a really bad install on the madbull - slightly possible perhaps I wasn't that impressed with madbull when I gave it a quick whirl (think that was why the owner on fleabay flogged it - coz it ain't all that I feel)

Look around by all means, try it and if you get hooked you are only 2 more games off ukara Then you can get a realistic RIF than a 2-tone if you can wait a bit However - you could get a 2-tone and it may wear or get splashed ahem on it if you can't wait 2 months G&G's are good M4's, Cyma AK's or JG G36's are usual first starter guns - costing £100 to £150 do not be fooled into a £70 gun will be ok - it won't so avoid getting mislead from sites with "BB" in their names Get out there n rent - a 5,000 bag of bb's is a tenner and will last you 2 days maybe more much much cheaper than paintball pellets - jeez my wallet took a bashing when I went paintballing plus there was marshals with heads up their own ar$es, older players chucking money at shop in desperate attempt to win at all costs (to$$er team still came 3rd - mine came last, but the other two teams just left everybody else standing - but jeez 3rd team was ultra ar$eholes)

http://www.tacticalwarfare.co.uk/ Surplus Store - That place is in Crawley - not bad think Lord Metile got his ICS from there it ain't bad - not ultra cheap but at least you can go down there another place is pro airsoft supplies in London Please at the very least try rent first, it ain't for everybody but it is better than paintball imho much cheaper but problem is once you start - you become so hooked you gotta get more n more crap than you could ever need ooh that looks nice is the story of my life - and numerous other members on here When playing there is really 2 main things to remember Don't be a dick - covers most safety stuff - remove mag and clear gun, don't remove mask until safe zone (no mag or bb in gun) most safety stuff is just common sense but listen and follow all instruction by marshals etc...... Call your hits - if you get hit by a bb or if you think you are hit - CALL IT One hit even on ya toe/elbow and you are hit/out/dead - last thing you want is to be tested This is when people mention you may not be calling hits and you get lit up by a marshal and or other players may join in really bad case of non hit taking could mean asked to leave - so as games rely on fair play - call it even if if you think was that a maybe ?? It ain't COD - 1 shot = you are out, don't argue and don't inform you m8's where that git was that shot you (dead men tell no tales etc... but hey I made that mistake at first and some others but you do get a bit pumped up on first game) Seriously - don't be a dick & call your hits - even if that to$$er isn't calling his Don't take it too seriously - it is just a game with toy guns good eye pro should be worn or supplied - well if not they won't let you play the rest of ya loadout or clothes can be whatever you like - jeans n trainers or some s/hand army stuff from fleabay Get out there, meet some new people and shoot them, get your toes wet and see how you go
