Sitting Duck

bit vague - what bit broke, make model...... they don't seem to sell loads of external bits for MP5 like M4's and so even if you get something it might not 101% work if JG vs Cyma so to speak might be worth considering a cheap new one and keep ya old one for spares: http://www.taiwangun.com/en/jg067-m5-s6-jg?from=listing&campaign-id=19

around £75 - £80-ish.... might be able to sell it to a new player if a quick 2-tone job to tidy it up and you got battery etc.... (better than a JBBG even if it might need a clean) looks like aprox 300 barrel so it ain't too long and plastic/polymer ideal for new younger player wish I could say more but competing with new Carbine n Raiders, but depends how quick you need to sell it might be worth keeping as spare for you or if a m8 goes with ya deffo keep it if possible until you know ya AUG is running sweet

DO NOT TAKE THIS AS GOSPEL !!!!!! http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/asg-cz-75-p-07-duty-co2-magazine-product,14962 seems the same as this but cheaper http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft/asg-cz-75-p-07-duty-co2-magazine.htm#.VWra3UbqfIU and maybe add in this: http://www.airsoftworld.net/12gramme-rechargeable-co2-cartridge-single.html problem is there are loads n loads of variations not just Blowback/non-blowback but also the .177's variations - jeez but those mags might be cheap replacements and or the GG Co2 bulb option but maybe some other mofo with more experience can chime in or ring around for clarification first

fixed £15 stubby stock??? ok looks not as good but shove almost any battery type in there

Galaxy MP5K £120 - hey but 3 mags and a f*ckin sling too http://forums.zeroin.co.uk/showthread.php?258937-Galaxy-MP5K-with-folding-stock too bad there only £50 new atm with a high n low mag http://gunfire.pl/product-eng-1152189545-Model-P5-K-PDW-G5-GALAXY-.html so for another £70 you will get another mag or two and a sling............. BAAAAAARRRRRGGGGAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNN

Welcome sir - nice gun and good of you to introduce yourself a bit Hopefully we won't judge your experience based on your post count (it happens but you sound like you know a bit - but we are all still learning) welcome once more to this great forum, very relaxed coz they put up with me waffling n ranting etc...

if the gearbox busts but gun is intact it would make an interesting project to beef up I reckon you done ok - is fine for plinking - though some really cheap guns could scrape by at cqb the longer AK12 - and being plastic may not be ideal to smack round cqb doorways etc..... you may be at a disadvantage for longer range engagements - well you WILL be to be honest But we have all been taken out by some 12yr old packing a JBBG gun, I still get my ar$e shot up by that *king kid again Have a go by all means, but maybe try to be stealthy/hidden to get jump on players with better range guns reckon you may get some kills, not cane the poor thing too much and have a bit of fun at same time (fun is most important bit - no matter what gun you got imho) Have fun, if you get into it, then look at some better starter guns you may see others using I have wasted much much much more than £30 on plinkers before I realised my errors

SHS torque or Big Dragon M160 - best mental motors under £30 (seriously will keep up with much more expensive motors) ensure your box's AOE, shimming and wiring/fet is up to it coz they rip like f*ck - seriously your box better be running well (haven't had a BD M160 apart but SHS motor is built very well - messing with my own frankentorque shs atm) BD M160 I rate as the best out there but will take 3 weeks+ to arrive but have got very good results so I will get some more (alas airsoft peak / tinywind did have some offers going but I missed the boat - again) your G&G one isn't that bad on stock - ferrite motor motors can be shimmed to get magnets closer to armeture but not really worth it on ferrite (black magnets) Neo motors have ultra strong earth motors - silver/chrome in there and are very very hard to turn by hand The windings or TPA varies - lower windings = speed higher windings = more torque but less speed finding the right figure or balance is tricky, Big Dragon M140 is ok but doesn't offer much speed mainly torque over stock motors and for the extra few dollars the M160 really transforms into mental raw power in both areas the M120 version don't buy at all - a clone of G&P and the BD M120 is ferrite so performace is onlt as good as a really good ferrite For what it is worth - ZCI SHS and I think BD's are made at same factory or with same/similar parts just windings may vary on the different motor models I am lead to believe (I'm not that sad I'm gonna rip and review all motors - jeez just buy another ffs) if you want a motor then AK2M4 has some good balanced ZCI M4 long neodym motors he was doing at about £22 and ships bloody fast give him a pm and he might be able help you very quick & cheaply MASSIVE WARNING....... Directed to anybody thinking of just dropping in a big motor & battery.............. Do not just shove in a neodym motor and connect up a 11.1v lipo - ffs !!!!! replacing a stock 13rps with a neo could get you up to about 20rps on 7.4v if you connect a 11.1v lipo to that that is 50% more juice (3 cells instead of 2 cells on 7.4v) this means you are gonna be aproaching 30rps on stock gears Anywhere from 25+ you "could" get Pre Engagement and strip piston or smash f*ck out of your box if all steel teeth piston I say 25+ it might be a tiny bit lower but deffo near 30 even on lighter pistons it will start to become risky on m100 springs OP has a m120 that should return piston faster BUT he may have the longer 19 tooth SR25 piston so travel is now 60mm instead of usual 50mm aprox I strongly advise that when fitting a beefier motor the owner tests with a 7.4v lipo first !!!! I have smashed hell out of plenty of box's to know that you can't just shove in a higher motor and 11.1v in OOOOoooohhh this great - BANG !!!!!!!! Test motor on 7.4v 25c lipo say - then multiply thar rof by 50% or 1.5 on ya fone then decide if your own gun is safe to take a chance on pushing it much more I will not be held responsible if anybody busts their gun - test on 7.4v first and then YOU decide if your gun "might" be ok or not Legal stuff: Your gun may be at risk if you do not keep up with the work involved to go nutz or any other work you aim to secure on it - past rate of fires are only a guideline and may fluctuate depending or market variables outside of my control eg battery/wire/crap fet etc......

Trust me - it ain't as bad as some of the crap I bought....i if you got it for a good price s/hand then no biggy - it is still one of the few AK12's at least it is worth keeping as a unique gun Yeah I don't think I will ever show off my Bull$hit B500A1 - only way I would put that on a wall is if I threw it at it

It does - now, but this time it is put back together a little better and shooting nearly twice as fast, and not such a joke DSG ROF Yeah - after I ripped it to bits - no warranty and no rights coz manual says no semi..... but got it working better with a semi via the Kong wizard fet besides if she does crap out I'd swap the last lot of bearings around again, fit in the SHS DSG & cut off lever I have (but won't bother to fit in a std FH or AK74 I was thinking of doing coz to me DSG is a bit over rated) The review was to inform potential buyers of it not quite being what it is supposed to be plus the not so great quality (though I reckon I had an early rough thrown together models - but still no semi) Not first time G&G have tucked up FH owners - the first inital ones were Top Tech internals with a much higher rof Hard to tell but if the FH in your sig has the normal CM grip on it then you have the slower std FH with bearings & a 30% slower 23.5:1 gear set (all other CM's have a faster 18:1 gear set in there) Are you sending your FH back ??? As said - after all the fun n games - DSG to me is way overated my AK12 was hitting nearly 25 on 18:1 gears & 7.4v full stroke piston and that was/is a plastic gearbox using crappy SRC bits n bobs. double fires on more juice but 24.8rps is plenty for giggles put together a higher speed gear set and 30+ can be obtained on 7.4v = 45ish on 11.1v for about £50 (buy hot gun with m120 - don't get spring downgraded, short stroke 2 teeth on say 13:1 set - neo motor/fet etc - good speed for most longer barrels)

Hi - welcome to forum AK12 and/or Well D12 in US, can't do much to it as flash hider is glued on and no usual counter clockwise or CCW 14mm thread at end of barrel However Chock was the first to transform the AK12 with a proper gearbox in thereand I've followed a while later - it is a nice change from the normaal AK's out there std box is a bit crap, punching aprox 270fps on about 9 or 10rps barrel is about 250mm but have fitted a 455 AK one in mine and tweaked it with a plastic - yes plastic box but better plastic box the black viper AK12's and G36's are ok for plinking - they aren't as bad as the BV M4's but you will struggle going up against others with slightly better ~ much better guns It can be tweaked to perform better but still a little too light and reckon with too much heavy abuse she will crack or bust Go easy with it, try not to run into any trees or fall ar$e over tip and she be ok but for longer regular use consider upgrading at some point see this post for what is inside - mega kudos to Chock once again - hope he returns soon OOpppps forgot the bloomin' link http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/23635-first-ak12-in-production/?hl=ak12

Build your own or get a firestorm baby mofo fet for a tenner http://www.firestormsystems.com/shop/electronics/mosfet-switch.html

I said that before in an earlier post but sure the OP said he could disable it. http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/26328-we-scar-h-v2-gearbox-shell/#entry198279 But unless I got posts mixed up I am sure Merf 3.2 has braking enabled and can NOT be disabled They do a new fet which can be enabled & disabled but doesn't have the programme features that the Merf3.2 has... Unless I'm talking out my duck's ar$e again.... But sure I mention about AB but OP was going on about hot battery ???? Its hard to fathom out exactly what is meant let alone causes sometimes But sure Merf 3.2 is always AB on from their own spec sheet but I haven't had one so can't say for 101% certain

Shimming could be fine BUT The bevel gear should have just a thinnest shim on top or no shim at all on top if bushings Bearings maybe another thin shim but very little still required If bevel gear is low the motor strains when engaging and when you wind motor in it pushes bevel harder against its top bushing/bearing creating in turn strain n heat Your gears can be spinning lovely spaced nicely by hand But when fitting motor that is where it goes pear shape You may not hear much screeching of gears just a bit of strain but not screeching as such. But it will run very warm I know coz I kept shimming bevel too low on my first few rebuilds and kept thinking wtf? Only other thing is motor angle - again causing strain on pinion to bevel gear meshing, can pull a motor cage a smidge on v3's to get bettet mesh but not so easy to throw motor alignment on v2 pistol grip Though another pistol grip may and I say "may" mesh a tiny bit better or worse if ya unlucky

Did you open n mess with box ??? Sounds to me like possible bevel gear too low putting massive strain on motor Also bad shimming nblittle grease is most likely Should be getting more RPS on 11.1v with top motor like that smidge under 30 I reckon

Agree the BOT looks nice and I'm hopeful that the fet issues of the past is behind them. It is ideal for people seeking a mosfet'd gun out of box and even if it goes pear shape the donkey work of installing a fet is already done. The Kong wizard is supposed to be a proper 3034 get which is regarded as best fet out there, so is fantastic get for £10 offer. Not sure if I'd pay full price for it but at tenner is a bargain not to be missed. Bit of a git to get ya head round at first but stuff like a 3 round burst 3034 fet is std programmed in which is pretty cool indeed. All the CM's are great guns, coz they have good engine/box in there, very TM compatible so spares upgrades are cheap n reasonably straight forward. All a question of what tarted up externals you prefer MK18 is slightly cheaper at Airsoft world and if you can fit the Kong in there yourself then that would be my choice but it has it faults like poxy lame crap mid cap mag etc... Luckily there are numerous models of CM's to tempt the potential buyers, G&G certainly got the options/model/choice bit right spoilt for choice I guess if looking for a decent M4 starter at a good price that don't break the bank

- lost for words, just this once

http://www.taiwangun.com/en/mk23-magazine but dunno what price they were from GF - but the socom mk23's are supposed to be TM compatible but check with others like sp00n etc...

took son to Young Guns in Chobham once.... he couldn't believe they didn't chrono any gun and it was a bit nooby for him so not returned Alas didn't get to or be bothered to wait around for the afternoon to shoot at the Mall's showcase day mega shame coz really looking forward to a quick blast game and drove 60m there & slow crawl 60m back in poxy M25 car park traffic

it is a HORRID green - zombie or puke green - it's absolutely disgusting and to kill a sexy black/tan MK18 like that is even worse. Zero One's 2-tone is ahem "replace-able" or more prone to removal from wear n tear so to speak and free Airsoftworld though could do their own show instead of changing rooms - changing guns - nice paint jobs (not too sure about more expensive "Wasteland" scheme but deffo not as wtf as SRC's Gundam - soz for repeat posting) http://www.evike.com/products/42979/ Now Mr Evike - are you seriously gonna ask for UKARA or try to charge me to repaint that mofo ??? Oh yeah coz it really does look like a RIF ffs Seen meaner looking Nerf guns but suppose to some out there in anime cosplay world they gotta own it so who am I to knock other people's interests - I play with toy guns ffs - how sad is that ???

zero one 2-tone all guns 4 free also.... http://airsoftzone.co.uk/airsoft-guns/starter-packs but christ what have they done to my MK18 & FireHawk - yuuuuukkkkkk airsoftworld's snakeskin is the sexy subtle alternative - well worth paying for that if I was starting out again

I best let hpa owners answer the rest Me I like tweaking n breaking n learning on aeg's as I think they are a clever bit of engineering - when it all works. Probably could of bought loads of hpa stuff the amount of stuff I bought lately LOADS But just feel to me it ain't the classic airsoft but more of a paintball conversion, but yes they do perform amazingly

The FH got to nearly 41 on a 7.4v and just done a 416 to do 30+ on SSG on 7.4v - how long the last only time will tell.... As for PolarStar - think I like the Tippmann over that no battery, one day if Tippmann's come down to what their paintball guns sell at or if they make a cheap easy swap out kit for other guns I may look into that but sod paying silly money.... As for ROF I think 20 to 30 is more than enough and plenty response - sure it is nice to have a high cycle gun but unleashing hell in proper games is a bit nooby overkill I feel, about 25rps is quite easy to achieve on most aeg's without shortening its life too much. Faster it fires then a good chance it will fail quicker is my main feeling and still some 12yr old kid with a JBBG 2 tone will take me out no doubt

Excellent sticky's but before you rush out n get a G&G M4 please read this: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/12854-new-player-guides-info/ Especially Ian's guide

Honestly dunno, I'm old skool not got hpa setup so can't comment but one day I might jam a solenoid in an old box and make my own is what I might do. Keep old box gears n tappet to load bb's, MAC solenoid, only stumbling block is gettingva "pattern controller" to control the burst or amount of time the valve is on etc... Small picaxe or audinio raspberry pi board will do the job I reckon - quite do-able But not exactly my cuppa mechanical tea atm, love the "fun" of cursing n swearing at the present AEG's Just feel G&G might be trying to reinvent the wheel a little bit which the standard CM wheels are quite good as they are
