Wat Em Best Tournament Gnu? Yes All My Titles Are Going to Be That Stupid)

Specna cut it short and named it "half tan". You get a black body but the rest is tan lmao.

I'm gonna go with that version I think, so if I install the stubby stock and aliexpress handguard it'll turn into full black (and then slap my pink furniture on, because yes).

Or even directly go for full black, so if I decide to keep the stock handguard it will look ok.

Aaaaaaaah decisions!

Fuck that, going full black.

 
Buying it tomorrow after posting the Ares.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a thread on the arp9 to make :D

 
So, gun is on its way, had a quick talk to my tech this morning because he wanted to show me the Perun optical he installed..

I don't know if he messed up the installation or calibration, but it looked lame, as if it couldn't properly read the trigger position.

Should I drop €150 on a Titan at this point?

My thoughts...

FFS - buy the fucking M904G just for the box & board

reshell the box with bells n whistles into a best gnu evvaaaa body

then use the std box in the 904, do a 13:1 or heck DSG on it

(less to go wrong) and keep/sell it

I was erghing about doing a 904 DSG, just plop in a DSG sector

trim tappet and go with that, for shits & giggles

BUT wasn't sure if the fancy mosfet could handle the amp draw of a DSG m160 spring etc...

so was leaning towards gutting it and using another box

eg: swap over a crappy picky ETU G&G box, back to old school, into 904

& use the 904 fancy box in the picky ETU G&G

I mean yeah you could buy a Titan

but I'd buy the 904 and get some of the features but a complete gun to play around with too

and yes I'm still fighting with myself over the 904

which atm is a tie or split decision, too close to call if I will submit to one

TORN doesn't cover it, I got so much crap already, but I could see me messing about with it

(actually might have to buy two of them - damn these crazy shit ideas are starting again)

Wanker base is here.

Will crack it open tonight.

28.5 rps on a 11.1, without a mosfet and with the stock tamyia plug.

After lunch I'll install the etu trigger and Perun upgrade kit and see what happens.

Then whenever G&G stops being lazy, SSG1 blade trigger goes in for maximum wank.

Next week the ak2m4 order will turn up as well, providing two nice ZCI barrels (247mm and 260 for my other specna).

Fixed stock is being a cunt though, quite a lot of wobble because of the short receiver end. Might wrap a couple layers of tape to ensure a snug fit.

Wobble might be the fixed stock M5 thread is a bit long or not threaded quite enough

Various options & all that

But if you need a spacer...

I have bought a couple of sheets of rubber/neoprene

In 1mm 2mm & nearly 3mm thicknesses

What you can do is use say a 1mm thick bit of rubber

Cut to rough shape/size

Slap it in-between two parts - stock & receiver

(Or stock ring & receiver)

Tighten it up, it will compress/squish slightly

(Which is good, coz acts as spring washer to a pod working loose)

Then trim off excess with a scalpel - smug fit & resist undoing

Also used this to very slightly correct AoE by

slipping a piece between piston & piston head in a couple of builds

When the sorbo/silicone was just a smidge low for my liking

Few quid on fleabay & has come I handy a few times

Or maybe a couple of M5 washers at the butt plate end of fixed stock

might take up a bit of slack in the bolt thread

We that is if read or interpreted it correctly

Nice rof, about 18 approx on 7.4v

So yeah could use either or as is

Thought I'd SS a bit of using 11.1v @ 28.5rps

But quite nice as is, bit of pte-cock on 11.1v

Then park it on 7.4v before storing it etc...

(coz I don't use fancy bells n whistles)

Nice one all the same sir

 
Yup screw is still a hair too long, I've already chopped it down by 1.5 cms, need to remove another 5mm (make it 6/7 to be 100% sure), the screw is long enough to thread onto any gun anyway, 

I will SS the sector (1 tooth, 2 tops, leaving the piston intact) whenever I install the new barrel and change spring to compensate, it will be used both on 11.1s (when spamming semi in cqb) and 7.4s (when playing woodland).

I had issues with the G&G etu, I'm pretty sure the trigger microswitch is fucked, after installing I pulled the trigger once in semi and did a 25rnd burst rather than binary :D  it was a really old battered unit and the trigger switch was meh.

so new ETU unit. Or Perun V2/Gate Titan. I can use the wanker blade trigger on all three options so it's just a matter of finding one of the three in stock at a human price.

That 25rnd burst could be the trigger switch

BUT due to ETU unit, it should fire & stop after X rounds depending on mode selected

so me thinks the COL switch might not have engaged after first shot to say STOP

and so it kept cycling until it eventually detected and said - right that is it one shot, stop now

so it "might" be the COL switch not detecting the cycle has completed & it goes on & on until finally a signal is sent

all that electronic bollox is great - when it all works

Could be the COL switch as well..

Binned that ETU trigger board. I'll buy a full ETU set once I get my hands on the KA PDW so I can use the Perun upgrade kit I already have.

I found that a shop semi-local to me has both the Titan basic and the Perun v2 in stock, to be paired with a MAXX trigger. Both units are €85.

Which one do I go for?

If I'm not mistaken, once a user buys the Advanced/Expert firmware update from Gate, he can use it on as many units as he wants, am I right?

In that case, my team's tech already bought the thing for his Titan, so I may upgrade it either for free, or by paying a small symbolic fee (idk, €10 or something).

 
out of those 2 my preference would be the titan, but i'm kinda meh on the whole subject of optical mosfets these days.

Just had a quick chat with my team's tech, he said that the firmware upgrade can only be used once.

Screw that, I'm getting a Perun.

It has all the features I need.

 
Turns out that the Perun I ordered wasn't actually in stock, so I got refunded.

Moreover, Peruns are out of stock literally everywhere, this leaves me with the Titan (advanced) at €150, the Aster (with firmware upgrade it'll retail at a similar price) aaaaand that's it, the Leviathan relies on a microswitch for sector gear positioning and I am not too confident on it lasting, plus out of stock.

The BTC offerings are fucking impossible to find because raisins (also idk if they have a binary option).

As of now I have an Advanced Titan in my cart.

 
Personally i think it's pretty despicable of Gate to limit the functionality of the hardware to force you to buy firmware.
It makes sense tbf, there are people who only need certain features (say AB, battery protection and programmable burst), they get a cheaper option that provides such features without the extra options.

But I get what you mean, for the price tag you should be getting more out of a basic Titan/Aster.

Was hoping for BTC to release their Spectre MK3, which combines the best of optical and mechanical systems (trigger microswitch, sector and selector are optical sensors) but heh, considering the availability of BTCs in general, I guess we'll never get the chance to see one.

I considered it for a minute, but then microswitch for the sector gear and proprietary trigger put me off :(

 
Fair points. As regards the Titan, it's partly because some of the feature I would use (Precocking/Rof control) that you have to cough up extra for are available on the Warfet at a lower price point. 

The microswitch is one to be concerned about. Having sheared off one on a BTC Chimera in the past (the one on the selector plate), I can completely understand why it would put someone off. As you referenced, the MK3 might have been the best of both.  BTC nearly vanishing is a disappointing one. 

Still at least there are Perun and Jefftron alternatives on the go. The Jefftron Leviathan for V3 gearboxes is supposed to be optical based.  It might lead to one for other gearboxes.  

 
Seriously...

Buy gun, swap boxes

One fancy snappy dooberry one

&

One old skool snappy one

I just bought 2 of them btw

& one CM.517 for a mess about

plus a cheap rotary hop for 517

plus a perun basic MOSFET...

Fuck me them fuckers are tiny

I won't be doing owt with them for a while though, got a lot of stuff on atm & told missus this crap is my Xmas present

tbh, can see me ripping the cheapo cyma apart first as I know what to expect with my eyes shut

They updated it with blue cylinder head, tappet, nozzle over the clear plastic tappet etc...

Also seems to have a AR release slot on box, but still reinforced so probably need dremmel mod to fit 13:1's - no biggie

Then maybe after chrimbo I'll rip the 904's apart 

But £104 - jeez I paid that for a moody SRC M4

and the etu can't be no worse than G&G's

Nice touch have deans fitted already on the 904, motor is a bit lame

But wtf I told myself I'm not buying one...

So I bought two instead coz I have issues

 
Sorry Duck, but I'm not swapping a crappy DE box with an E&C one :P  and I'm not willing to spend time reshimming both boxes.

Also, softairgames is being a bitch and the website doesn't allow me to pay via PP -.-
