    MK12 upgrading help.

    The declared values are nominal, without any load applied. The actual RPM under load depends on a lot of factors, spring rating, gear ratio, shimming, ETU, wire gauge, battery voltage, battery current and so on. Generally it's impossible to achieve 100% efficiency to the declared value unless...

    MK12 upgrading help.

    Well it's not that easy to build a performing AEG out of the blue without any teching experience. First of all you need to set a goal (rps, energy and such), then you need to understand how things work inside the gearbox before even looking at a website to buy things. Plenty of guides around...

    MK12 upgrading help.

    39k brushless motor + 13:1 gears, in that long of a barrel... Have fun destroying all your internals :D

    Buying Halo Screen etc From Theyma HP (Theyma's Handmade Products) From France

    Skirmshop sells halo/nano screen, I'd use Theyma only if bulk buying one specific tone/material.

    ICS tappet plate issue?

    That indicates that either the nozzle is too long or the hop rubber lips are. Is the hop rubber stock? Borderline impossible, there is a guide on the right side of the gearbox the plate runs onto, it keeps the plate from bending and doing what you described. In any case the plate would have to...

    ICS tappet plate issue?

    That nozzle bouncing back and forth doesn't look normal, but it could be me. If you turn the gun upside down and place a bb on the feed tube (without pushing it down) and fire a shot, does it drop in the right position?

    ICS tappet plate issue?

    Is the gun ICS oem or you just happen to have a ICS plate? Judging by the length of the stock nozzle I guess it's the former. Are you using a delayer chip of any kind? Tappet plates do wear out with time, the front of the fin (the only part that touches the sector gear, at least in theory)...

    Magazines - should I buy Hi, Mid or Low cap?

    For high caps buy Lonex Flash mags. Best high capacity M4 magazine out there, fits and feeds on most M4s even at 30+ RPS, pulling the cord makes more noise than winding the wheel but you only need to do it once, maybe twice, for the whole 360 rounds. Midcaps are okay if you don't use full auto...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Very good day. 13 people on the field, which allowed for the short-type tournament setup (8 attackers, 5 defenders). Games went smooth until the last second where supposedly some blatant cheating happened, but I wasn't there to confirm and all I got were reports from a couple of people. The...

    It was common practice back then, some people still do it to this day.

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Very good! Added a flat 6x3 admin pouch to the front so I can have my phone, leatherman and game documents at hand. Was considering a small dangler too but I'm going to wait for now, don't want to have too much capacity and overload it. The only pic I have of the full kit (yes it's a...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    1st place out of 15 teams at yesterday's CQB tournament (not speedsoft).. An environment we are definitely not used to, but I guess breaching rooms and storming in like animals paid off. 5 objectives in 5 buildings with rooms, stairs, long hallways, people complimented on how much covering...

    Does gate aster ETUs drain batterys quicker

    All "intelligent" FCUs are on 100% of the time so they have a very slight battery draining effect. In practice the effect is negligible and there shouldn't be such a massive drop in battery "life". There is definitely something off in that RIF, could be the Aster (not the best Gate FCU to be...

    Budget CQB (indoor) rifle help for newbie

    Keep the EVO and have fun, no point in downgrading to a G&G. Specna FX-01 is okay for the cost but it does surely need tuning to make it cqb worthy. Not to the extent I have gone for (brushless DSG build that pumps out 42 RPS on a 11.1v 1450mAh 30c), but certainly needs a new motor, FCU and...

    Airsoft Mutation Whisper parts

    I'm in their discord server, they seem to care a lot about QC and performance... Shame that they're not available in Europe..

    Hop...

    Piston mass has an impact on JC too. I run pretty heavy piston assemblies in my guns (even in DSGs) and the increment in energy when running 0.3/0.32s, especially when applying hop, is enough to get laughed at when I chrono at tournaments.. on 0.2s, with hop off (as per rule set) all my guns...

    Spring change, now too hot!! ?

    if you own a wider/slightly shorter inner barrel you could temporarily swap it until the energy stabilizes.

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    IPSC game today. Cracked out the Glock for its first outing (had it since 2021 or so) and it broke almost immediately, hammer is not resetting properly anymore and I need to take it apart. AAP on hpa is cracked, EPM-1S mags feed great in the monk adapter, definitely put a grin on my face...

    ARP 9 shimming school boy error

    Unfortunately without having the gearbox at hand it's impossible. Every gun wants its own setup. Adolf's guide is pretty good, you can also watch a couple of videos from YouTube (Paragon Armory one being particularly detailed). Being just 5 shims you luckily only have a "reduced" amount of...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    New handguard from MAC Airsoft. Not finished because we're waiting for a pic rail to go on top and the end caps for a small red suppressor. Next will be a set of fibre optic iron sights and a way to attach a two points sling, but I may already know how.
