    G&G ETU

    Does anyone know if it's possible to buy the trigger unit on its own, without the mosfet? My Google Fu is weak today, as I'm not having much luck trying to find one.

    Increasing fps by turning the spring around?

    Does anyone else have any experience with this? In two different guns I've reversed a non linear spring so the more densely coiled end is inside the piston and seen a 7-10 fps increase. Fit it back the other way and the fps reverts back to what it was. I'm currently in 'intense discussion' with...

    Custom gearboxes

    I needed a project to learn Fusion 360, and I wanted a gearbox for a bullpup build... ICS split gearbox upper, Retro Arms motor cage, a couple of aluminium plates and some 3D printed parts. Just finishing off the last few details. And yes, I know it looks like a V6 gearbox, but this one...

    Stronger springs cut for 350 fps?

    Exactly what it says on the tin....has anyone tried for example, cutting down an M120 to give 350 fps. I'm curious.

    Cylinder /barrel ratio. Test and results.

    I've just spent an interesting couple of hours cutting a barrel down 30mm at a time to try and get a proper answer to the correct cylinder /barrel ratio for a few different BB weights, and I thought I'd share them here. The test was done with a single gun, using an M100 spring and a cylinder...

    TDC hop up for AEGs

    Seeing as the only available TDC hop up for automatic guns that I'm aware of is not cheap and has to be imported from Canada, I thought I'd have a go at making my own. The base hop unit is from AirsoftPro, and is quite clever, but completely useless for R hopped barrels. So I've made a solid...

    Mystery Ebay motors...

    Does anyone know anything about these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIRSOFT-HIGH-TORQUE-MOTOR-AEG-LONG-SHAFT-TYPE-UPGRADE-/222666141095?nav=SEARCH I'm trying to help someone out, but I could really do with knowing a little more about the motor. Looking at it, I'm wondering if the can colour and...

    Building for low friction.

    Surprised myself today. I've revisited a build I did a few months ago after I did something stupid and bust a tooth off the piston. It was put together fairly carefully last time, and shot and cycled very nicely, but this time I spent some hours playing far more attention to the preparation of...

    How to gain an instant 10-15fps

    O rings... Not something I've really paid much attention to before, but if you size them right then there's performance to be had. Im putting my AK back together (new piston... Don't ask!) and it occurred to me that although the O ring that was on it gave a good seal, it seemed a bit tight. So...

    Where Have All the Buffer Tubes Gone?

    Having just spent the last half an hour looking for somewhere that has a simple, black Mil Spec buffer/stock tube actually in stock... What's happened to them all? Has there been some sort of drought or plague in the major stock tube growing regions of the planet, or what? Or has my Google Fu...

    Ares Mega Mags

    I know there are at least a couple of you out there who use these, so I'm hoping you could answer a couple of questions. 1) How much winding is required? And roughly how many BBs per wind. 2) could someone measure the width for me please? I'm wondering if they would slot into the mag well next...

    They walk amongst us....

    I've made some stupid mistakes and done the noob thing, oh so many times. But once in a while you come across a complete gem and you have to share. A gentleman on a forum mostly frequented by our American cousins has recently been asking about replacing the metal receiver on his M4 with a...

    Bullpup AKs

    Seeing as bullpup AKs are a little thin on the ground, I'm just going to have to build my own. £30 at the local Airsoft car boot got me a somewhat unloved SRC RPK. It looked awful, but a fresh battery coaxed it to cycle and once it was disassembled it turned out that apart from a lightly...

    Measuring motor speed

    I've got a couple of motors sitting around, including an SRC high torque that was in a bone yard gun I bought recently. Great magnets, no idea how many TPA or what sort of speed it will run at. I bit of poking the interwebnet failed to produce an answer. So how do I find out? A bit of lateral...

    ZCI 4mm shaft gears

    I'm starting to stash bits for my next build (budget 35+rps) and I'm looking at the newer ZCI gears, both the solid shaft 4mm items and the ones with the removable shaft where the gear runs on a bearing. I'm a little dubious about running a sector gear on a pair of bearings, let alone a single...

    40k Motors

    I've been eyeing up the Tienly GT40000 motors for a new build (M100, 18:1 gears, 7.4v, 20rps) as it has come highly recommended, but I can't find one anywhere. Can anyone recommend alternatives that are equivalent to the alleged performance and efficiency of the Tienly? Or perhaps better value...
