The 'What have you just broken' Thread

[Sacarathe]

Just blow the thing up. Once its finished burning its then harmless, problem solved.

Well for now it's wrapped in a spent fireblanket from a recent accident I had.

place iffy lipo in garden - not house like I did

pack of darts = recycling has never been so much fun

use caution chaps ffs - but reckon world darts would be a lot more entertaining with old puffy lipo's on dartboard

I think I just broke rc540.

Need to stop being so clumsy.

He's gone full hermit. Guess we know who wasn't telling the whole truth now.

Mag catch in my sniper rifle. Being a well clone it doesn't quite use the same parts as the TM vsr so it's shelved until I can find a boneyard rifle stock or (more likely) buy a TM G-Spec.

Wrong thread? Or were you involved in a terrible car accident or something.

Cyma MP5K sling plate - couldn't take weight of sling.

Gopro Hero 4, couldn't take the BBz - lesson do not use gopro blackout case for airsoft...

Ahhhh the joys of pushing stuff too far and full on taking the pi$$

I'm starting to learn 40rps+ is really for DSG's or really strong springs heavily Short Stroked 4 or 5 teeth now

Is what happens when you think high twenties on 7.4v - ooh lets try 11.1v 30c.....

These two items went at different times btw....

First the piston just split at its casting - and I epoxy'd the rack in nicely

suppose little else weak point on the gearbox so something just had to give out - wasn't very thick at back so just cracked the rear of piston

Refit new piston part plastic part metal rack - yup that sounds good

Forgetting what I did a couple of days previously - SMASH - ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz sound

ooh that don't sound good - whoa plastic rack held up but no doubt the cheapy stock bevel I was using on a 16:1 set with high speed motor was weakened a bit maybe but previous smash up.... and decided to shred all 10 teeth

Thankfully - the spur was ok coz I may use that for another "sensible" build at some point

(it was a slightly faster 16.5:1 gearset as opposed to usual 17.25:1 ratio 16:1 gearset - might use this for a DSG build one day)

Finally settled on a 13:1 with a less crazy cooler lower amp torque or balanced motor in the end

Yup - starting to sink in that about 30 to 35rps is about the real absolute max limit - even if SS 2 or even 3 teeth in my builds

Somehow managed to jam my tracer unit onto the outer barrel of my gun, bit of brute force and ignorance to get it off and the whole end of the barrel unscrewed



Sadly getting the threaded part out of the tracer unit completely mullered it, 6061 aluminium is not very strong. Thankfully Tokyo Marui have used some kind of super strong pig metal for the base of the tracer unit and the threads were completely undamaged by the whole thing!

the curse of the lefthanded thread was it? lefty loosey...... noooooooooooo lefty locked on!!!!!!

 

[jcheeseright]

Nah, CCW threaded insert. The swarf weld between the tracer and the aluminium threads was stronger than the loctite holding the insert in so I ended up just unscrewing the whole thing when trying to unscrew the tracer!

Needless to say the whole thing is a write-off, thankfully a replacement insert is only $10 shipped from the manufacturer.

G&P M7A1 predictably stripped it's bevel gear and snapped 2 teeth of the sector gear, whilst mutilating the piston.

G&G Wildhog, mosfet is kaput, nozzle cracked.

A&K Mk12 - trigger unit failed, pathetic stock motor burned out - gearbox shell is non-standard, so had to replace the pinion gear on a Lonex motor for it to fit.

KC-02 loading nozzle got cracked on a crap batch of bb's.

G&P WOC munched another loading nozzle, the third this year.

WE 416 i was given in a trade, bolt snapped. Literally no idea how that happened other than crap WE QC as usual.

Not been a great week for my stuff D:

 

[lemon191]

My JG m733 has seen better days lol , front sling mount snapped and the gun went barrel first to the ground and now has a fair wobble to it and the charging handle snapped so can't access the hop up so definatly looking to retire it for something else lol

*snip*

That's bloody impressive, in a real bad way of course.

 

[ImTriggerHappy]

BASICALLY EVERYTHING

And I thought I was having a bad week.

 

[TomC]

Let me see... Tippmann stopped feeding for unkown reasons (pre chrono). My m14 was shooting 380 which is too hot for my site. Then when I went to test fire it the motor seemed to stop engaging the gears so I just got a loud whining noise. 3 of my 4 pistol mags were leaking, and to top it all off my gopro screen appears to of cracked through the case which is an interesting one. Oh and when my m14 was working it looked like the hopup wasn't working either. So yeah fantastic day of airsof!

 

[jcheeseright]

Time to resurrect this thread I think.

this is what sadness looks like;
