    The first step would be to work out what it would cost you to build, rolling in the lessons learned from making your first one. I suspect that that cost would be pretty steep, and unfortunately the market will probably be smaller than it appears. The number of people who will say they'd pay...

    If you could change the joule limit, would you?

    you bring what you're good at to the game. some people are good at sneaking, some are good at running about, some can think like their enemy, and some can open up the clockwork nightmare that is an airsoft gearboxx and actually improve it. so yes, getting fitter or learning to hide better is...

    If you could change the joule limit, would you?

    Hops are good, but not alone. I seperate "range" from "practical range". The former is merely the ability to lob rounds far whereas the latter is actually hitting what you're aiming at more often than not. Yes raw joules will increase the range on their own, but how much of that you'll...

    If you could change the joule limit, would you?

    The angle myself and some others are aiming for with our dreamworld scenarios would be to bring some diversity to the field by giving pews some minor flavour of their real world utility. Eg why lug around a heavy support gun when your stuck at the same effective ranges as someone with a...

    If you could change the joule limit, would you?

    I think it would be a site dependant thing. A site with wide open fields/sightlines could afford a higher general level if managed well. If we throw out any realistic concerns and assume people always stick to the rules and judge things like med correctly free from accidental or intentional...

    leasing guns

    Lent, and loaned, many a pew in my time, even equipped first timers with hpa'd e&l's and handed off pews mid-firefight. Its something you do for folk you know will at least respect your pew. But never charged, thats just inviting a mess of expectation and liability.

    AK mags fitting and locking in place but not feeding

    Outside chance, but if the other advice hasnt helped and the symptom is temporary it might be midcap syndrome. The way to tell if if they feed ok on a partially loaded mag but not one stuffed to the brim. A cut up peice of inner barrel with a pin can make for a de-loader to get them a dozen...

    Ever had a hop unit that doesn't fit?

    This is the issue with giving cookie cutter replacement part lists. A given product might be great, but if it aint a good fit for the gun it aint a good fit. And it doesnt matter how premium it is, for as much as a fusion engine costs the internet is littered with "how to align your nozzle"...

    Shiming

    closer to the gearbox, although if that's worse then could try the opposite. if it's a non-factory motor it's also possible that the pinion isn't a good mesh with the bevel (ie things like the profile of the teeth) and that'll limit how smooth sounding it can get, which then gets to swapping...

    Shiming

    Not horrible, as mentioned check the motor height. Best practice for motor height is start wound in all the way, if you start all the way out it might strip gears but if its too tight the motor will just stall (dont hold a stalled motor for any length of time mind you as the current will be...

    Shiming

    The bad news is there will be many many mistakes left to go on the road to learning good teching. The good news is a boneyard gun is absolutely a great way to start, unlike some of us that made the mistake of doing so on their first and only pew........

    Shiming

    It might be that you have to just install/check/remove/adjust multiple times to get it perfect. Thats the thing, its not the difficulty, its the labriousness of having to try adjust try until you get it dialled in.

    i'd argue the lions share of perceived longer flight time is due to the heavier bb's travelling further, ie past a short distance the heavier round can actually be faster at getting from a to b until it's the case that the lighter round can't even make it to b. although in the case when the...

    LCT AK Receiver question

    Afaik the aims stock mounts to the standard wood stock tang, so a standard 47 should fit the bill.

    Programmable mosfet

    Dodged a bullet then :) Unfortunately the soldering (and depending on gearbox type dissassembly) is going to be on the cards for any mosfet that's using the original trigger components. Personally i like the gate system, with the 2 signal wires to the trigger and 2 heavy wires to the motor...
