Yes thats 100% confirmed that they now recommend a 9.9v LIFE battery now for the carbine version. I believe most people are still using 11.1v anyway. I have the original short version and I’m still using an 11.1v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I use an 11.1v for my SMG, and it works flawlessly, however i also have the BET and it double fires and locks the gearbox, so think the BET/Carbines are a bit more tempremental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilianoksa Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 A bloke at the last skirmish I went to had one. Very well made and very effective in CQB. I expect I am in a small minority here, but I am not really enamoured with the look of it, especially the rear stock. In the real world looks aren't important I know, but in airsoft they are. Perhaps if I had one the looks would grow on me. It's certainly a great gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiscuit Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Has anyone had any experience with the Short Stroke Speed trigger? I play mostly at the mall and a quicker trigger response and faster trigger spam may be useful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Personally, id say the mechanical aspect of the gears spinning will slow you down significantly more than the trigger. If your upgrading the gearbox, go ahead, Otherwise i dont think its worth it on its own. But again, thats just my opinion from owning the SMG and the BET for a while now.

On the AEG side the only thing quicker is a gun fitted witha spectre or titan fet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiscuit Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Cool, all I wanted to hear. Havent used it in anger yet (well, not at all, the battery is on back order haha) but saw it listed and wondered how just a trigger swap could be so beneficial! Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countryman Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I bought an EVO BET carbine from Zero One the other day and I will check which LiPo's I was sold along with it. It is a really solid, great feeling gun and I will let you know more when i prize it out of the hands of my boy, who has claimed it for his own. The mid cap magazines caused him a problem first skirmish. I have bought a Hi Cap but not told him yet. Rear site dissassembled itself first game but was just a nut worked loose and Zero One are sorting that out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 what was the issue with the midcaps? Not enough ammo? or kept forgetting to hit the bolt release after the a new mag went in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he remembers is got auto burst fire. Yup, that’s second Mag burned. Etc. Etc... Basically he got used to carrying 4 high caps into a skirmish and the reality of managing ammo has never hit.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted May 4, 2018 Supporters Share Posted May 4, 2018 I must admit I only think of paintball-birthday-party players when I think of people who burn through all their ammo waiting in the game zone for a brief. But then I suppose everyone finds the simple act of just shooting a novelty to begin with and then they grow out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol not quite, it sounds a lot, but it fits quite nicely on a condor chest rig with those viper extended pistol tacos. I used to run a plate carrier that felt like a bit of a wheelbarrow strapped to my chest, none of that anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterG Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 On the topic of mags are the mag couplers worth having? I can fit two side by side in my mag pouches, so was wondering if it was worth clipping them together. Also, does using the couplers add much to the overall width of two mags? From pictures/videos I would guestimate 1cm extra. Cheers G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Personally, no I think the additional bulk on the side of the gun is just an annoyance. But that may not bother you. and your right, theres another CM or two so added onto the width of two mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiscuit Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I toyed with the idea of mag couplers as they look badass, but ended up with a high cap. Dont plan on taking anything else other than plenty of pistil mags and a bfg for CQB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted May 7, 2018 Supporters Share Posted May 7, 2018 Couplers are alright, been around for decades in jury-rigged form just like 'jungle mags'. All you do is speed up the first reload then slow down the second (etc and repeat the pattern). If you've got mag pouches big enough to fit them, a dump pouch to stow each pair quickly and you practice enough you can get the 2nd slow reload time down and then things start to work out better. Or if you only use a few mags per game (and this is how I run things) just start with a pair of mags in the gun then switch to normal reloads after that coupled pair is empty. Personally it's rare I get through more than 2 mags between breaks, so using a coupler in that situation means the 1 and only reload I do can be super quick. Just something interesting to experiment with to my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterG Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I'm used to outdoors and full auto. But will be trying CQB for the first time next weekend, so maybe will need a lot less BBs. I have a high cap mag as well in case I find I constant reloading a pain. Cheers G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers G I run either 4×40 or 2×120rnd mags depending on what gun I am using in the mall. I rarely get close to running out but dont generally spam rounds.

Kash Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 indoor i generally manage on about 100 rounds and go pistol only, woodland, cause my site is pretty huge, i can easily go through 300+ rounds in a 20 minute game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Qlimax Posted May 7, 2018 Supporters Share Posted May 7, 2018 I played yesterday and went through my 8 mid caps and my back up hi cap in a 2hr 45min game which wasn’t easy at all. That’s the main let down for the Evo is the minimal size of the mid cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterG Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 If it's new maybe not, some models benefited from a new spring guide. Not sure at what point the spring guide was an issue, just make sure you get the Steel Spring Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
