Quick Questions & Simple Answers.

So today my friend got his new Helios knight's armament licensed sr-16e. He took it out of the box and started shooting it with the batteries that came with the gun. Later on that day he fully charged the battery and tried to shoot the gun but the trigger would not pull all the way. The trigger would only pull half way and not shoot anything out of the gun. Does anybody know what could be the problem with the gun?

You know this is like saying he put fuel in his car, it was was working and now it’s not?

Having said that, try a different battery, and check the fuse

 
also, has he tried switching to full auto, it may be stuck in semi on the anti reverse latch, Krytac used to have an issue where semi would lock up

Anyone still having problems viewing the photos in the classified section? I can see the thumbnails but when I click on the thread, nothing?

 
Qwick qwestion.

I'm thinking of ditching all the Tamyia connectors I have, the obvious choice would be to replace them with Deans or T Plugs (as they're called).

I've also read some people using XT-60s.

Which one would be better and why?

XT60's are arguably better connectors, Deans are fine IF you get proper ones not the cheap copies. XT60's are easier to solder and cheaper to buy though.

Could you please elaborate a bit more?

I will buy 30x connectors of whatever type anyway, so I should be set for at least 3 lives.

Electrically the Deans are marginally lower resistance and physically smaller than XT60s but the XT60s do have a more positive locking action. XT60's are easier to solder as they have proper round pins with solder cups and are easier to not overheat which can bugger up the pin alignment.

In terms of genuine vs copy Deans, the contact quality is much better on the legit ones and they're really not that much more expensive. Add to that the fact that it's highly likely that nobody else on your site will be using XT60's meaning that you won't be able to borrow a battery (unless you have adaptors) and the Deans are potentially the better bet.

I honestly don't care about borrowing batteries from teammates, I always have 3 (one in the gun, 2 spares) on me and I'll be making adapters. Everyone runs Tamyia here, so even with Deans I'd need an adapter.

Is the Deans "marginally" lower resistance noticeable?


Just found this, it seems that the XT-60s have less resistance than Deans.

 
Doesn't seem like a fair comparison as the XT60 is bigger than Deans so more contact area.

To me the more important reason to use Deans is their performance vs size.

For that reason I might consider the XT30 as an alternative to Deans but I'll have to look for a comparison between them.

Deans are rated to 60 amps and airsoft guns don't use anywhere near that

The difference is so small it can easily come down to how well they've been soldered on. Which is always an issue with soldered connections to be honest, it's why any industry that relies on good, reliable electrical connections has moved away from it!

 
Went for XT-60s in the end. If they turn out to be crap I'll switch to Deans (and use them connectors for something else) :)

Thanks @Lozart and @EDcase for your insight   :)

QUESTION 1: 

do these mags https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/we-airsoft-co2-magazine-for-m1911-6m-bbs-softair-black-14794-p.asp 

The shop I bought it from said it could take C02 mags but I’m doubtful and every co2 mag they sell that 1911 they’ve since said incompatible. Asked Bullseye about this mag but because they don’t sell that pistol they aren’t sure. 

fit in this pistol?: (See pic) it’s a WE Desert warrior 4.3 Tan. MEU series. 
 

QUESTION 2: Does the LMT M203 SHORT https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/airsoft-lmt-m203-grenade-launcher-short-barrel-5249-p.asp

Fit and work with Tag launcher shells such as: https://www.airsoftworld.net/tag-innovation-launcher-multi-range-shell-launcher-single.html. Does it also work with the non-HPA version (Green gas version)? 
 

cheers

shorter the launcher the better with TAG rounds, ideally no longer than the shells themselves!

 
@albert12 - I'd strongly advise making sure you read content properly before replying. The barrel question is in reference to the TAG 40mm grenades, not a normal airsoft gun.

‘Bulk’ means different things to different people.  Call them to discuss if you think your bulk Is big enough
