Krytac m100 chrono 387 fps

[callumbagshaw]

It is incredibly rare to be fair to Krytac. The gears on a krytac are much stronger and have a higher rockwell rating than SHS, ZCI and a BUNCH of other gears on the market which you should expect from the price of the gears. What battery were you using? The piston should of eaten itself first definitely way before the gears would of even showed signs of wear so the motor height may have been way too high which I found out I had when I first took it apart to inspect height and that. Also, the shimming may have been way off which is again very rare and I had some fairly tight shimming but it wasn't that bad and then obviously the clear choice here which is you probably got some f*cked batch which I know that guys from Matt the Musketeer's team had.

I know it's rare and my local tech said the exact same thing about the piston and the motor positioning which makes it all the more intriguing, especially since it happened to two separate RIFs at roughly the same time!

**Edit** - I don't know that much about gears & gearboxes, that's why I took it to a professional. However, I just remembered him saying something about a pin that keeps the circular side of the gears flat against one another, and that pin had become loose, which meant that as the gears spun (ideally on a 2D/flat pivot - if that makes sense) they were actually moving up and down (in 3D) on the pivot as thy spun around. **Edit**

This is running an 11.1v LiPO (Deans connector - first thing I did when I got the gun was take out the fuse and re-wire to deans, so maybe it's my own bloody fault)

Anyway, it turned out that (and feel free to slander this but all i can say is it's a f*cking beast now) my local tech added:

-stronger spring (not sure on the exact strength i just know it's stronger than the stock one that was shooting at 280FPS +/-) now shooting about 340FPS on a .2g

-ASG Ultimate gear set (I think that's what they were called, they were ASG anyway) - he also checked the shimming while he was in there 

... He did offer to order in the official Krytac ones but the only supplier with them in was in the states, would have taken probably a month to get them shipped and fitted, and considering the only first hand evidence I had with those gears at the time was that I'd seen 2 and both had broken, i just trusted his judgement.

-TBB (brand of which I can't remember but I'm pretty sure its 6.03) 

-Prommy purple rubber and flat nub

Since those additions I've seen noticeable increases in range, accuracy and most particularly, fire rate - I never chrono'd the fire rate out of the box so my somewhat invalid assumption of around 20-24 RPS is not accurate, however it's now shooting 28RPS and you can tell just from the sound of it that it's faster than before.

Players at my local site have commented before about hearing the gun and knowing that it's me, which speaks for itself about the distinct noise.

FYI, the friend who's SPR also died (mine is a CRB) decided to sell it instead of fixing it and I think he's now secretly a bit jealous
