    What brand BBs are best nowadays? Bang for buck.

    Myself and a few others did some testing a little while back. Here's the results we got: https://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/threads/crack-open-some-bbs-bb-quality-and-comparison-discussion.67345/

    Jefftron Leviathan V3 Sticker Pickle

    I was able to recreate an optical sticker by simply using scotch tape and a permanent marker. Just marker the correct area and you're off and running. Scotch tape is also much more resistant to being pried up or ruined by the edge of the gearbox. Also, as a tip, you can file down the edge of...

    What brand BBs are best nowadays? Bang for buck.

    Whoa, why are we talking about time dilation here?? And sausage! Gotta say, I'm more interested in the latter.

    Warhead 27k short shaft. I need convincing...

    That's the Systema PTW (Professional Training Weapon) system, which was an early version of a "complete remake" gearbox. They can still be found today, but they're mostly used as very expensive training weapons, as building one properly is usually in the realm of 2K USD. Basically, everything is...

    Warhead 27k short shaft. I need convincing...

    As far as I'm aware, there aren't any ETUs w/ brushless controller included. We really only have a dozen or so makers of brushless motors for airsoft... if there was I'd be in.

    Feeding or air seal, a conundrum

    Non-vented piston heads used to be the standard. And they do work, just not at higher RPS. At low RPS they're able to simply pull in air through the nozzle, but above about 18-20 this ceases to work. There are some mfgs that still use them. Seconds on a chrono and trying each piece...

    Warhead 27k short shaft. I need convincing...

    The 10ms starting delay is likely because of startup torque. Brushless motors have a lot of instantaneous torque and have even been known to snap their drive shafts without a ramping program. Of course if you're using a 28TPA you'll have more torque. If you used a brushless motor of the same...

    Warhead 27k short shaft. I need convincing...

    As a note, brushless motors have a lot more torque than brushed. This varies with build and motor, but, as an example, The T238 brushess motor I use in my main build runs at about 99% efficiency (shooting 1.5J), rather than the more typical 80%. I can also highly recommend the T238 brushless...

    Krytac P90 ETU

    There's some confusion going on here. First off, Krytacs do not have ETUs. Second, it's possible to put a Perun MOSFET in a P90, but a MOSFET is only the chip that protects your trigger contacts from voltage and aids efficiency a bit. Nothing else. Some ETUs have MOSFETs, but no MOSFET is an...

    Gun upgrade

    I totally agree with your advice here, but just had one comment. ? I'm obviously a Johnny Abroadlander from one of the most scorching areas of my country. I often play in heat that can exceed 110 deg. Fahrenheit or 43 deg. Celsius, and I prefer 50 deg. rubbers in all my "rifleman" builds. And...

    Airbrake piston heads

    Never messed with one myself, but from what I’ve gathered, they become harmful in FA above a certain point (15-20, depending on build), due to increased drag. The gains seem to be minimal. I can ask the guys over on ASF for more info if the conversation persists, since there’s a few guys who’ve...

    Airsoft toolbox ideas

    Exactly. Really not huge. It’s a small briefcase. I should’ve clarified, I bring my kit to safe zones, but mainly it’s for when me and a few buddies drive out into the mountains and play. We happen to know a guy who knows a guy who gave us permission to play on certain public land tracts, and...

    Airsoft toolbox ideas

    My personal airsoft medkit contains…. 3 Phillips screwdrivers: one long for buffer tubes, one short and stubby for gearbox case screws, one small mainly for poking wires and checking shimming. 1 flathead for opening gearboxes and prying things that need prying 1 pair of needle nose pliers 1...

    Keep Inner Barrel Length the same or change?

    In your situation length is not essential, and even in tighter builds that 17mm is basically irrelevant.

    What would the most "function over form" AEG look like?

    I’m not knowledgeable enough to know if the idea holds water, but I had the idea of direct drive brushless, similar to what many RC helicopters use. Our current hearing system was invented in the age of ferrite motors pulled from the printer industry…

    Mixing bushings and bearings?

    I should mention, never trust Evike! That place is a well of horrible information. They still recommend putting silicone oil in your green gas/propane.

    What would the most "function over form" AEG look like?

    The trouble with side feeding is simple: corners. And catching on bushes or whatever. I’ve brainstormed having a parallel gearbox, but the issues are many: weight, size, extra complication if you want to use the same motor setup, issues with reffing such replicas, etc. The simplest option is...

    What would the most "function over form" AEG look like?

    A modern V2 should have no issues with cracking below an M150. I know a lot of very low quality boxes do end up having issues… **cough cough** Ares **cough** …but that really shouldn’t be the norm. The V2 design as a whole is susceptible to strain on the front corners, but a lot of cracking...
