What's the deal with the sights? Do they require different slide, or are they a drop in fit on the stock gun? Link?

These HPA rigs are really starting to get out of hand...

Having had a quick shoot with this back to back against the Gen 4, everything just feels a little tighter on the 5th Gen. How much of that is down to it being brand new is a fair question, but the 4th Gen has only been gamed about 5 or 6 times. Trigger feels better, racking is more positive...

I went into a shop and... accidentally a TM Gen 5 Glock. I blame @JimFromHorsham.

I tend to just pick up a bottle of propane (400g) for about £15 from screwfix as it's just down the road. If I forget/run out it tends to be more expensive for less on site. Marginally less faff though. You pays your money...

Literally just finished watching their Facebook feed and had a similar "oooh, interesting" response. Technically probably identical to the AR15 version (perhaps bigger mags?), but would at least add some variety. At least some time to start saving...

Is the motor wired up the right way round? If you've got it wired wrong it'll try to spin backwards and the ARL will stop the gears turning. This might also be the case if you're using a battery with a tamiya connector since the wiring on them is sometimes odd - double check.

Depends why you want it really. They're great for turning over any spring, getting the most out of batteries, etc. I've not had any issues running 27k on 7.4v, but depends how many RPS you "need". The only point worth noting (other than worrying about soldering wires onto an expensive motor so...

Have been eyeing these myself, despite having a Gen 4. Hyperdouraku did a decent write up.  Apparently 20% more gas capacity due to new magazines with different internals (not just orange follower) as well as a stronger kick from redesigned BBU.   Video with more details and test firing too...

I may be missing something here, but this ghillie had better be giving Harry Potter level invisibility cloak for that money.

Yeah, I fancy a solid stock version, but it doesn't seem sensible dropping £500 on an almost identical gun to the one I already have just for that. Probably better to await the inevitable solid stock MP5SD and pick one of those up so I can swap front ends over. Mag prices have actually come...

And also, 4 of the new solid stock MP5s...

The front triangle's normally held on with pins, so there shouldn't be any structural reason you can't do it. Could either just pick a free float rail that's shorter than your front sight, or one of the ones that has a cutout - e.g...

Because otherwise the motor shaft spins the grub screw the first time you pull the trigger and it instantly violently adjusts the motor height, jamming it into the gears and seizing everything up. Apparently. Not that I've ever done this...

This video might be worth a watch if you haven't already seen it, covering some of the potential weaknesses/upgrade options (easy HPA and box mag conversion as well as hop mods). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxwj6QbtjU4

No love for the G36? Picked up a TM one (non-recoil) recently, and it's ridiculously light, especially if you ditch the unnecessary rails/handstop (which is inexplicably made of pot metal). Okay, marginally heavier than the MP5K, but probably more capable in the field.

So if it's like the TM, it will look like the attached. Essentially the box is in permanent semi auto because it's got a cut off lever, but no fire selector plate on the side of the gearbox to hold it out of the way. To get round this, they have the second external set of contacts you can see...

I've used the 9R's but not the 5's, so I'm at the other end of that comparison. They seem to work ok, usual deal with needing to program them, CHIRP works fine for doing so and saving the image for future use/programming multiple devices. In terms of power I'm lead to believe that any wattage...
