  1. interesting though G&G did a GC16 MOD0 HC05 - 40rps on 11.1v lipo http://www.guay2.com/web/manual/CM16_MOD0_manual.pdf (you might need to save it coz it seems to display better once saved on pc) link is dead due to G&G updating their guay2.com or something https://101techusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/CM16_MOD0_manual.pdf but seems rather rare and out of stock and lower performance perhaps BUT it does have SEMI on a 40rps setup My guess it was yet another bad idea that might not have performed very well dunno if it had DSG but feel maybe higher speed short stroke gear set Also there are variations of other High Cycle stuff usually for German market with very low fps about 234fps or 0.5j on auto CQB stuff, so lower springs = higher fps but watch out for PME https://www.ram-shop24.de/de/G26-High-Cycle--G-G-.html and they made a HC MP5 or G&G PM5 A4 High Cycle (but was a blowback gearbox - think that is asking for trouble but hey G&G know what they are doing - NOT) 9mm SHS Bearimgs arrived - fitted after a little file - damn they were tight fit Shimmed - located a better v2 spring guide, quite happy but now messing about with piston & weights atm Current status Able to still use G&G DSG - think the spur gear was the worst of the 2 binding/snagging, something is bad on gear finish Anyway, moved ceramic 9mm/3mm bearing up to spur gear fitted a pair of SHS 9mm bearings to bevel gear. Then used a SHS bevel & spur gear - shimmed nicely and reckon she runs really well and might work ok...... Slightly stronger (smidge heavier) piston all metal teeth - 2nd tooth removed already & shaved down 3rd for AOE Also removed last 8 unused teeth & swiss cheesed on top but left sides - nice n tidy but not a great deal lighter wasn't happy with lightish stock piston head's seal - was never as good as alloy but think I found another plastic/POM one Probably dropping bearings from piston head too as got them in spring guide.... Complete piston weight is about 21.5gms fully assembled - no bearings but has plastic spacer in piston instead now Stock piston with bearings was about 27.5gms so 6gms saved on a heavier hopefully more robust piston even with cheesing (worked out I could remove some of the piston's guide rails that remain in cylinder as stroke is 8 teeth not full 16 teeth stroke) Cylinder head - found a double o-ring plastic with good-ish seal - hopefully a few wraps of tape will make it perfect had an ali one but didn't sit well in box when closed up - jeez nothing but more pi$$balling about with this mofo As soon as I get one thing sorted what is going back in there - yet another thing crops up........ Now the latest one is the friggin' AR latch - G&G's one is much chubbier of fatter and along with thicker wire I want to use it is rubbing slightly against the thicker wire that just squeezes in the wiring channel - there is a gap near AR and yup that is where it slightly rubs against the AR latch - restricting it moving and I suppose over time/shots may rub & perhaps wear on insulation - a possible short - jeezzzz ffs n all that.... Found a slightly thinner AR latch that just about clears the wire but still may need to file/grind the channel a tiny bit to be sure So yeah its taking its time I know - I sort that, then discover another possible issue with my mofo rebuild So I take time out and rethink my plan & options coz I wanna make sure she runs much better/faster than before Hopefully sorted most of the box & then get me soldering iron ready for wiring up a fet & reassemble at last..... LOL - for a "wonderful" review of this gun - actually it is a toned down 0.5j version for german market: I fell off my chair when they summed up about the quality gears ffs and here is G&G giving a preview of this gearbox option back in Jan: (yeah I wouldn't bother chaps)
  2. scratched record but you could get a 2-tone G&G M4 or something to get ukara'd start slowly and buy the more expensive guns if you really love it and can afford it you can get by with a decent starter G&G M4 - Cyma AK - JG 36c most started with much worse 2-tones from crappy BB gun sites try zero one - lwa - airsoftworld.net - firesupport - patrolbase - ooh there are a few more but you don't have to go nutz from day one oh n welcome to forum Most decent guns are Tokyo Marui compatible - or TM compatible The parts inside "should" fit in ok but often they might need a tiny bit of file/modding to fit & work 101% correctly there is always the odd tiny difference from one make of ver 2 gearbox to another but in general when replacing bits they will fit in there if you are doing it properly and checking as you reassemble Stocks - there are all interchange-able - well usually, so you can fit different bits on there - usually so you can mod/customise your gun quite easily to your own personal touch only if you buy really crappy cheap rubbish do you often find more hassle changing stuff over
  3. honest guys - can we drop most of this, especially the scots/brits/english crap coz it is only making more of a division that anything else we all gonna vote what we feel might be best - but in the end most of us we still be unhappy with those who govern
  4. There ya go - I said I was thick only to O level std soz just assumed all kids did GCSE / O level with A/O level or A level for 2 yrs like my own kids are doing Then pick/choose what uni options etc.....
  5. but that is if they have the potential - not gonna get dragged into it but a high percentage may not have the A level education to continue & gain a free uni degree free uni is not gonna make a massive difference to the majority of the "normal" lower end people of any country yeah it is good they have the opportunity - but it won't make a big impact on many people's lives struggling at the bottom but to listen to politicians bragg about it and even the scottish people think it is so great too - but most of them won't gain a degree themselves No - I am not saying they are too thick - heck I'm thick & only educated to O level standard What I am saying - whoo hooo £9,000 a year to students of Scotland ok say £30,000 for a small percentage of people who can study bet some hard up families struggling wouldn't mind a bit more help getting by was what I meant soz but kids can get educated up to A-level which is still pretty good, if they wish to continue they why not pay for additional advanced training I friggin did & funded ALL my own courses & certificates in my profession A load of other people in various countries pay for universities themselves - might not be very fair to less wealthy kids but life isn't fair is it ??? Help the people that REALLY need it - by that I mean to get by & live not some poxy lame ar$e degree in a dumb ar$e subject that will amount to next to sweet f*ck all job offers fund the kid's schools better - help the kids gain a better basic education first, help the kids who are struggling and not just oh if you are clever then we will help with uni... how about - Oooh $hit we failed the kids who haven't got a good decent standard education - lets help them
  6. Well done - great when you suss it all out...
  7. Very true comments but like I said the kids of today seem to be taught stuff like coding but less actual hands on practical common sense stuff The woodwork lesson - now they got computer laser cutters to do all fancy stuff for them Where as if I wanted to that I had to go really careful for yonks by hand We had to learn how to fit a plug - not that hard but now it all comes fitted We had to fix our bikes puncture etc - all stuff that I really think helped later on in life Some shops are brilliant but most are not with their customer service... Majority of shops are now replaced by the bigger chain of shops, they often employ the younger people of today But a classic 'ol school type of shop that has been going for yonks... The owner is probably still serving behind the counter, has decades of wisdom (sorry kids they don't teach this at uni) and thoroughly prides himself on his service as well as products he sells I could go on - but places like PC World are a joke to me, kids still wet behind the ears, know jack $hit except what colour that laptop comes in (soz to any PC World workers - just a very rough generalise of my experiences a while back and haven't been back for ages now) Forums and people trying to do their homework is very very important - at least "try" to search/research some stuff but many many people prefer to be spoon fed or ar$e wiped for them but by that they gain very little they are just in effect buying what they are told to buy
  8. I'd like to see this thread ease up a bit really.... The continual thought that Scotland and the North Sea oil keeps the UK afloat also wears a bit thin Maybe back in the Thatcher years the North Sea Oil really saved Maggie's financial ar$e - that is deffo factual But that is not the case no more - especially with current oil prices but also they found a massive oil reserve around Gatwick / Sussex But still we import like most of Europe our oil & gas. in fact a lot of places around Surrey Kent Sussex have potential - largest one appears to the recent Gatwick field But due to the enviromental issues and low oil price most likely they ain't bothering just yet to fill the SE up with drill rigs - yet !!! (don't agree with the whole fracking crap - if Cameron still thinks it is safe then let them drill his back garden is my view) The North Sea is not as easy & fruitful as it was say 30 years ago but to some they are still believing it is supporting Maggie (she has kicked the bucket & maybe in thousands of years other generations might be using her as fossil fuel) The free university for people in Scotland - note not Scottish people, you just need to live in Scotland for xxx years to meet criteria not gonna be racist but shall we say the more finacially astute ethnic minorities have cottoned on to this But anyway that aside the free uni and prescriptions is all well & good as a great little treat to be proud of...... But do the families of a hard hit run down estate in Glasgow think that is gonna make mutch of crap of difference to them trying to make ends meet ? I mean really - just how super duper is them free uni eductation places for some of the hardest hit families trying to keep their heads above water I just tire of the Scotland stuff, you wanted a vote, you got the vote, you decided, but still they ain't content jeez I thought all this was settled but still goes on - like this thread The only other thing that keeps going more than this thread or my waffle - is ALL the politicians bull$hit pledges and the way they try to brainwash us all - they blame everybody else and never wish to admit they screw up The first thing they the politicians need is INTEGRITY - but they can f*cking pay for that - I ain't funding it
  9. And the Germans bombed my fish n chip shop probably but that was then n this is now Further more for every arguement there is always a counter arguement eg: Tax the rich more - well yeah some bankers are just w@nkers but be careful. Plenty of talk of investment from Goverment - uhhm we are trying to save money remember Ok if Goverment ain't gonna chuck money at investment & growth - who else then may invest & create jobs Oh yeah the richer bastids - yeah they might be the one to take a risk and start up/create investment Oh no - they cleared off to live abroad and foreign investment has dried up due to plugging tax breaks and loop holes Oh well suppose some local criminal in hard hit run down poverty area can start up a new crack den ??? ergh nah perhaps that is not a wise enterprise to start up..... It is all about a balance - a balance of everybody together - it will NEVER be fair - but that is life Divide the UK up, north/south/east/west - add in different countys if you like but consider this also.... If say counties up north say are hardest hit with higher percentage unemployment, more seeking benefit of income support or housing Just how the hell is that county gonna fund all that if a higher than average people are not employed and paying taxes etc... Just how is that place gonna pay for all that higher percentage of support than say a more affluent county down south ??? Oh well the rich can pay more - nope they f*cked off months ago remember when you said they gotta hand over 60p out of every pound END OF SILLY EXAMPLES - for now..... Thing is all the parties are saying this and saying that - think they are more stupid than the people they are trying to fool especially if they - let alone us, think it is gonna be so easy to fix and answer everybody's prayers They know it ain't - but they the politicians are just trying to bull$hit us that they have the solution Fact is ALL their manifesto's will create just as many problems as they try to solve The whole Staus Quo - not band making yet another comeback, the whole of this balance will always be: Some are rich & some are poor, but that is just the way it is - it will never be fair The richer people/companies that have the money are the ones who will invest and create jobs & growth - NOT THE GOVERMENT The Goverment haven't got any real control and they can't create an economic solution with investment out of thin air Well they can borrow I suppose and spunk money - uhhm ergh nah maybe not coz we ain't paid off the last debt yet Oh well lets just go & ask Wonga for a sub shall we It is a balance like everything and though I am full of $hit, the politicians are overflowing with $hit telling people they can make it all better
  10. Well this started out as a General Election but can we cease the Scotland/England bollox that this has started to turn into I'm not gonna bother answering or argue with all the previous bits but shall comment on the above one though..... Forced upon you ??? You had the chance to vote - the people of Scotland and them alone were given the chance to DECIDE THEMSELVES Subsequently - anything after that day the votes were counted..... It is from that day forth that the people of Scotland and them alone had decided to stay in the UK Now if anyone thinks Scotland is being forced to stay in UK - BLAME YOURSELVES if you was lied to, deceived, fooled, brainwashed - whatever you may wish to say BUT - Scotland voted - so now if they can't accept the result at least accept the fact that the people of Scotland voted to stay in UK 300years of history is way in the past.... Present day - if anybody forced Scotland to stay in UK - it is the Scottish people themselves No offense to any UK people - yes even North of the border but can we just chill a bit. I hate some of my neighbours - no they ain't scottish, I think they are English but I will call them British to be safe reason why I dislike my neighbours - one of them has got a cat that $hits in my garden and another parks his car like an ignorant c*nt (I'm sure they love me - well who wouldn't ???)
  11. Yeah a very half ar$ed release, could of - should of been so much better They could of approached/negotiated with Seigtek and could of been a great endorsement for both companies or cheaper/riskier to go with Modify or SHS but nope they do their own Was told as they launched the Fire Hawk they were gonna make a hi-speed one around Nov '14 at some youtube promo 6 months later and they really ballsed it up, the quality of all the extra new parts is just $hit I'm bitterly dissapointed - me a major G&G fan/owner, that there was no mention of losing semi-auto yeah some guns like M249's may not have semi - but a CQB FH with no semi - jeeeezzzzz Plus you can't make it semi easily as I shockingly discovered and due to the spur/sector having 5mm shaft gears I'm f*cked and gotta remove these larger ceramic bearings - pity they didn't fit 9mm/3mm bearings like on bevel gear (yes stronger 5mm shaft gears - but the owner is f*cked if they need replacing with other perhaps better gears) I'm no expert but DSG's like other higher speed guns do tend to wear quicker shall we say So even if you get a good one - if I got a very bad lemon, at some point the repair/replacement of gears may arise If anybody got a good one - one guy was over the moon with it - yeah without semi and not that great rof on DSG ? If they got a good one then hope it lasts a while is all I can say In the meantime - G&G need to do a bit of rethinking/quality control coz their new super duper bits of teching is crap I'm gonna be left with some poor G&G DSG gears & 2/3rds of the super ceramic bearings in my junk box Yeah not such a great purchase - yes it could be a one off lemon but pics shows the pi$$ poor engineering Would like to think it was early beta or prototype perhaps - but should of just waited and got it right before releasing it Cheers to LWA - for getting it so quick & they did publish my "brief" and honest review though Hope my 9mm bearings arrive soon, coz reckon it was Spur gear that was really boned, so might be able to use the G&G DSG plus some other tweaks & ideas that might just work - itching to get it back together now......
  12. LOL - I think I might change my pic to Sky's Braniac logo like the bit where they blow up microwaves with petrol, wire wool, thermalite etc.... "Don't try this at home" Then they say: "No Really don't try this at home - I break guns so you don't have to"
  13. a bit of a sore subject atm..... but yeah in general most stuff from a BB shop - in particular then dinky 1/2 size kiddie replica's taking AAA batteries Mother f*&£er bastid thing - I gave up trying to "fix" it and just threw down the garden Didn't fix it but wow I felt so much better - some bits still remain down there I think
  14. Ironic though that England hasn't had a chance of coming out of UK Also if you are patriotic Scot, Welsh, Irish that seems to be admired Moment English people start being patriotic we get told to go easy to avoid offending others or appearing racist mellow chaps - Us lot are a right ol' mish mash of Vikings, Romans and who ever else popped over to invade us from Europe (another bit of irony I suppose if we think we are being invaded from Europe today)
  15. I don't like the look or not so ergonomic feel of AK's but in airsoft terms they can kick some M4 ar$e
  16. Well the gearbox is a bit crap tbh... They fitted 9mm ceramic bearings but not all the same ones... Sector & Spur/middle gear have 9mm outer & 5mm inner race ceramics Bevel gear though 9mm outer & 3mm inner race So in effect the sector/spur gears have thicker but not so common 5mm shafts Bevel - average bevel gear I suppose 3mm shaft Gear Ratio is 18:1 no mega spring spacers but jeez that spring (was at rest btw coz released AR latch) is a mofo Also all steel teeth & strengthen piston - std G&G piston head & plastic white cylinder head used in normal CM's seals not bad but is new with say 250 300 rounds through it - could/should be a tad better But AOE wasn't done either - just like CM's - yup 2nd tooth removed but that was it, maybe usual 2-4mm sorbo needed Nozzle - looked bog standard CM non o-ring nozzle - deffo could be a lot better Ah yes no cut off lever - ok should be able to put in one... NOPE - dual sector does NOT have any cam lift point(s) on there at all Great - coz they are 5mm shafts and 9mm outer rim bearings can't fit a SHS Dual Sector either (well I could I guess if I had say normal 9mm/3mm bearings but only got up to 8mm) On top of that the finish sector shimmed tight - ok got that a bit better but it snags at same point (deffo sector - well 99% it is sector with bad finish - very crap) but even after picking through all teeth on both sector/spur and smoothing over the back of sector coz it was that roughly cut finished still seems to snag/bind a little it seems - jeez this was really just chucked together Still haven't fully got it turning 101% smooth as I want to see it Cylinder - seemed to have grabbed a normal CM ported cylinder - ooh that ain't quite right and then took a Black n Decker to it to drill a 5mm hole as well (G&G's diy modding of drilling the hole not mine btw) Piston Spring Guide with bearing - this seemed to loose at the end and not fully tight or screwed together All in all a very pi$$ poor box - way below what I was hoping, the No semi you are kind of stuck with possible options could be a Seigtek DSG or perhaps say a Kong II burst wizard thingy fet but not ideal to get a quick change from full to semi plus all this extra cost and hassle when G&G should of done their homework better in the first place Seriously chaps - you ain't missing much at atm - this is not a great gun from G&G like we was told/hoping for atm they need to revise a lot of these issues - better quality gear/finishing & give us the semi as well ffs GEARBOX WITH DIFFERENT SIZE BEARINGS.... CRAP AOE & DIY PORTING OF CYLINDER DSG STILL SNAGGING ON SPUR, SOMETHING IS STILL SHARP AND CRAP PLUS THE SPRING BEARING GUIDE THAT ISN'T FULLY SECURED TOGETHER Not one of their best bits of AEG building and really should charged a bit more to put it together properly WITH SEMI AUTO !!!! use SHS DSG ffs if you don't want to use Seigtek's - but c'mon this is really a bit of a let down I feel (warranty void but wtf at least I know exactly why no semi & some other stuff) There is something deffo wrong with them gears and snagging/binding on sector/spur holding box together with just those 2 gears in there you get to a point and they snag keep going at this snag point and the very top of box starts to open/seperate then closes back after snag point the gears finish is like some really blunt cutting tool or more like roughly punched/cut out - hence me trying to file and try to reduce the rough snagging finish. It is either a bad - no very f*cking bad finish like I think or the shafts/gears are bent perhaps - jeez this is crap Never experienced stuff this bad before even on a crappy cheapo set of gears and the ceramics are quite deep needing very very few special shims on there so can't just keep adding shims (well they are bigger shims 5mm hole that I don't have and M5 washers are way way too fat) The ceramic bearings - well they ain't like them super duper Modify ones that seem to spin forever Actually had ordinary 8mm bearings spin better/longer but the ceramics are supposed to be much stronger. (well like I said not impressed with a not so long spin test on them) tired and fed up - will have a rethink - might contact G&G or just grab a normal box, radius it up fit SHS DSG + 16:1 bevel/spur not gonna be so great but shouldn't snag or bind and at least I might have a semi auto on that build..... Or other option I'm seriously considering is very hi-speed gears, short stroke, m125 spring, mega beefy motor and see if I can get a good deal over 30rps on 7.4v - sod G&G's lemony DSG build Unsure SHS Short Stroke SSG ultra hi-speed or SHS DSG option and have a semi at last - really don't know atm Have ordered up some 9mm bearings with 3mm centre's for now - yeah I know should be using bushings But couldn't easily find good 9mm bushings locally to arrive asap so I can put this pile of crap back together with other gears (got the bevel 9mm ceramic with 3mm centre to use or move to sector gear I guess or leave on bevel as it turns the most) Like to think I got a lemon - but if you was thinking about the HC05 - yeah just keep thinking for now, don't rush out to buy one I'm done for now S D
  17. They are ALL lying even more and more than before.... I mean I do bollox & bull$hit but these guys are the true masters I'll explain - all of them know they are never gonna get in on their own - pretty damn clear that is So they go out of their way now and offer all sorts of crap in their pledges - way more than before Why - simple - they won't get in on their own anyway and when challenged why they never fufilled their pledge They will simply just do what they do best - blame all the others In particular the OTHER party we formed a coalition with blocked us from fufilling our pledges we made Oh joy the bull$hit floodgates are well & truely open wide now - as long as they don't get an overall majority they can lie their ar$es off (actually they was already doing that but now they are pledging to bull$hit us even more - that pledge I do believe they can fufill)
  18. uhm why not a g36c ??? or mp5k or something ambidexterous - or whatever - selector on both sides so suits left or right handed people or peeking left or right compact & light compared to a full metal or bigger gun
  19. JDAirsoft launch their auction site JDBAY

    1. DX115FALCON

      DX115FALCON

      It looks to be second hand gear selling, if people want to barter prices. Like a forum post, where the price increases...

      just chucking up some crap in my inbox, I hate haggling and being haggled too much. I know what my best price lookey lookey you buy you buy bollox is, and if I have enough ahh to hell with it and stick it. Soz getting carried away SD style again - well its another place to buy/sell crap I guess

  20. This is a bad Fire Hawk and I don't think it is a lemon on its own LWA sold the other 2 - yes I was considering getting another but glad I didn't atm it would be interesting to see where or if the other owners post their findings before I really slate it But some DSG builds only hit 35 - somebody put a dual sector fire hawk on you tube and was quite pleased with it but was hitting a lowish 260fps !!! (soz but that is mega pi$$ poor crap performance on 11.1v) And seen on ACM a 38rps steady build which I presume is on 11.1v To me I think the whole DSG crap is over rated - if you don't hit 40+ why bother ? a SSG short stroked with say m120 will perform quite well and ain't gonna need a mofo spring/spacers to get a half stroke up to the ooomphhhh To be honest I was erghing n uhmming about bothering with a DSG build but reckon I will shelve my own and go with a short stroke hi rate of fire on hi speed gears or I might say wtf and have a go - probably break very very quickly but surely can't be any less performing than this FH (stop calling me Shirley) I kind of was expecting a bit higher end build - wires fet (that melts but at least wired for fet) was lead to think this bitch will really kick ar$e on 7.4v at near 30 - but strongly feel owner needs to finish job themselves and go the whole bloomin hog or rewire/deans/fet etc..... - think motor might be a good one if it pulling higher spring but normal pistol grip not G26 one like Top Tech ones had at launch Now it might be a bit qwerky - or a possible bit lemony so to speak but I gotta go to work soon and only had a very quick blast test with it yes could try deans n stuff - it might but doubt have a fet tucked away in stock tube But just giving you a heads up at very least about no semi - full auto only out of box (probably they didn't fit the cut off lever in there that's all - hope dsg has the "lugs" to operate if you fitted lever) so think carefully before you scramble and think of selling off some stuff to get one It ain't quite what it appears or how you are lead to think is what I'm saying (G&G crafty sods with first batch of FH's with TT internals but then went stock CM - well slower 22:1 gears I found in my stock FH) Started to crack her open and has a "Powerful" G&G motor in there - well so they say it is still a ferrite motor not a neodym - in fact same motor as fitted to "normal" FireHawk see this thread/pic for details - http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/23894-g-g-firehawk-low-rof/page-2#entry179124 yup a bit more torquey perhaps than stock but not ultra torquey imho and deffo not super duper quick This was fitted to stock FH with 22:1 gears and that is why the main subsequent batches of FH's were slower than the first Top Tech ones UPDATE - found the reason why a std FireHawk fires slower than the first TopTech launch ones G&G fitted a 8 tooth bevel gear in there instead of the normal 10 teeth bevel hence your actual ratio of aprox 18.65:1 goes up 20% to about 22.38:1 !!!! So that is why the normal FireHawks were not firing as fast as the TopTech ones - mystery solved f*ck knows why they did that - must be the same designer who built the dsg FH with no semi ??? (a good lesson kids - don't do drugs at work !!! ) Now gotta consider if I rip her right open and maybe install the possible missing cut off lever, rewire & fit a fet ??? Yeah - wtf lets 'ave some......
  21. The 2 batteries I used on HC05 (11.1v has a xt60 but with small tamiya adapter) the 7.4v used was a Turnigy Nano Tech 25c-50c - too long for crane stock dual nunchuck not brill but ok for AK's under the top cover http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__17289__Turnigy_nano_tech_1300mah_2S_25_50C_Lipo_AIRSOFT_Pack.html 11.1v 25c 2200mah Zippy Compact block battery: http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__21346__ZIPPY_Compact_2200mAh_3S_25C_Lipo_Pack.html and the 7.4v performs ok on other guns the 11.1v was a bit fresh off charge and for what its worth - take a 7.4v rof & give it 50% - the extra cell of course = expected rof on 11.1v hence if you get 20 on 7.4v you "should" get 30-ish on 11.1v or a rough idea of what to expect so I think the 7.4v wasn't that far behind what it should be First impressions - should of just remade the inital Top Tech Fire Hawk's imho
  22. good gun - but comes with crap 120 mid cap (get better mag or some high caps) all G&G aeg's come with "aprox" 330fps out of box not that common to get one way above that tbh most sites run a bit above the 100m/sec or 328fps usually 350 is the limit BUT a few sites enforce 328 & a few others allow 340 (think The Mall Reading is 340 but don't quote me) my own site and numerous others are 350 max some sites and very very strict and the odd one or two don't seem to give a toss but most chrono up to a max of 350 - no more YOU need to check with the site you are thinking of using it at really ps - the cm18 is really nice or a 30th edition GC16 mod1 but this isn't all railed up like cm18 & Raider but full metal and well worth considering (battery at front on GC16 & CM18/Raiders are rear wired)
  23. Got one of these from LWA today - cheers chaps for not selling it or sending me a stock one instead..... G&G say 29rps and it will perform with a 7.4v like a 11.1v lipo Well that 29rps must be with a 11.1v I reckon coz been doing a quick chrono and it hits about 21-22 with a fresh 7.4v lipo OK quick review - mods feel free to move this but posted here as it is "news" but deffo not good news imho Gets her out of box, small tamiya on there - hmmm ok was expecting maybe deans or mini-deans Also Standard G&G sticker on gearbox - not perhaps a Top Tech sticker ??? Hmmm was expect a TT sticker as it is supposed to have a DSG & ceramic bearings in there, plus probably a m160+ spring to compensate for the half stroke from the DSG...... Connects a fresh 7.4v lipo switches to semi - goes full auto - WTF ????? messes about with selector - but can't get her to fire semi at all - great got a friggin lemon selector switch Then checks the instructions afterwards in typical bloke style..... NO SEMI AUTO MODE ON HC05 !!!! Oh that is just dandy - design a CQB gun that don't do semi when often up close you have to switch to semi only !!! Also was expecting better than stock wiring and perhaps a mosfet in there didn't appear to have fet in there but didn't look ultra hard coz just wanted to see how quick she fires then...... WTF on the chrono with a decent mag - 21rps, try again hhhmmmm 20.5rps - that is crap OK dry fire test against the AK12 I did - yup sounds similar but even with a used 7.4v I'd give the AK12 the edge That beefy motor AK12 hits 24.8rps on fresh 7.4v Which means my M4 mag ain't misfeeding to give low results - she is hitting about 20 to 21 max on a 7.4v Soz but that is crap to me and not what I was expecting or lead to believe from the hype................. OK very very fresh 11.1v lipo kicking out about 12.3v test: 33 to 35rps and about 290 to 300fps - did about 4 or 5 bursts on 11.1v but as I think it ain't got a fet in there ain't gonna go real nutz coz the poor trigger may decide to have a bigger meltdown than some teenage drama queen not getting their own way........ So at £155 or £180 rrp from LWA - they only had 3 and they are all gone yesterday afternoon Is it worth it ??????????? out of the box - NO - mainly coz no semi but also not that great rof for a DSG imho With tweaks - I think uhmm well uhmm not sure now I've ripped her wide open and seen not able to get cut off/semi working it must be pulling some beefy motor if it is a DSG and beefy spring, plus does have ceramic bearings in there they ain't cheap either..... Will need a rewire and fet but then she should safely be able to use it at 40+ on 11.1v or 26 on 7.4v Still can't see it hitting 29rps on 7.4v even with 16awg deans etc...... well "maybe" if the wires are soldered to motor and high performance/fresh of charge mofo 7.4v battery but that is after a rewire and deans and is really really doing all you can for max contact and zero resistance Also worth noting that G&G could have totally ripped off Seigtek DSG - RiotSC was not approached by G&G and it seems to be a clone of his gears he said Note the 3 holes on each side of gear - not SHS type or Modify's either if you look at the launch poster of the HC05 it shows a DSG exactly like the above pic So not impressed that G&G "could" have ripped off Seigtek DSG - RiotSC's design Even less impressed that a DSG performs - well not that great and not much better than a tweaked SSG AK12 is still on 18:1 but mega beefy motor - but no not that stupid to put 11.1v and get Pre Engagement But a fairly decent 12:1 shortstroke SSG would wipe the floor with the HC05 out of the box (must be like a 18:1 DSG gearing me thinks not any higher speed DSG) So yeah not quite as good performing as we are lead to think and NO SEMI - jeez that is dumb ahhh well a couple of pics: soz if they are a bit big, can't be ar$ed (like G&G's tech dept can't be ar$ed to do it properly) and the instructions when you find you not got semi ffs
  24. G&G Fire Hawk HC05 - High Cycle with DSG gears & ceramic bearings........ uhhhmmmm ergh - its not that great chaps.......... Will post more info is a sec but keep the bought thread brief (makes a change from me)
