It seems to fit, although it doesn't solve my "tighten the grip and the gun screams louder than a petite vs BBC clip" issue, to which I have yet to figure out a solution. Along with a self unwinding motor adjustment grub screw piece of shit. Speedbird_666 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTea Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) No pics as of yet but I've just got some guys tan A&K Masada (ACR) that's been sat around for a while. They say it's had the wiring repaired and the hop unit replaced as the old one cracked. The first thing I did is test fire it and jesus christ, this is the single loudest gearbox i've ever heard. Backing the motor height down a bit helped but holy crap it's loud but at least it works. I go to take the rails off the handguard and find that the guy has GLUED the rails to the bloody handguard... With a fair bit of effort I managed to get them off but left behind the glue. Once removed it appears the glue has discoloured the handguard so it's been given a quick once over with tan and brown paint as replacement handguards (in tan) are impossible to find online. Checking the wiring, it's been shoddily repaired with what look like spade connectors. Not massively worried as I planned on throwing a front wired Perun V2 hybrid into it seeing as it's a standard V2 gearbox. There's a fair few other things going on with it that require minor fiddling to fix. Looks like another potential project where the only place I forsee any real issues is surrounding the hop unit but there's a german company, Begadi, who make replacment CNC rotary hop units, hop arms and C-clips all for the Masada so I might skirt through that relatively unscathed.

To test this i've dropped an order in for their rotary hop unit and associated extra parts. The UK is on their international shipping page in zone 2. Can't see any issues coming up unless they manually cancel the order. Time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBG_Geoff Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 there are two types of projectiles typically used in Airsoft launchers, 1) moscart shells, that are effectively shotgun style shells that you load up with between 18-200rounds and shoot out all one one go be that in m203, M79 or rocket launcher. They all do the same thing. 2) an actual projectile. I typically use TAG innovation rounds, that either explode on impact or after a certain flight time or even that deploy smoke. But you can also use NERF rockets too Check out this video from circa 7 years ago where I use an explosive 'archangel' TAG round to shoot a dude behind cover. https://youtu.be/y47tupfDxC4 Tag rounds really do transform the grenadier class into a really useful accessory to carry, but not all sites let you use them though.

(genuine question - I know nothing about launchers) If it's the VFC one it can shoot a scatter of BBs like a shower shell or a projectile like a ball. Here's a video showing shower shells and a tip/cap type shell. Edited April 21, 2023 by MrTea Speedbird_666 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(genuine question - I know nothing about launchers) Other than looks, there isn't one. To clarify; yes it functions, but there's plenty of other devices to do the same. This is just the cool factor.

It doesn't look like it however shipping appears to be a flat rate just under €20 so best make it worth your while. I wanted to try their hop rubbers and nubs but forgot to add them 😅. My order was dispatched this morning with DHL so I can't even adjust my order. Lozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTea Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 It is but my own forgetfulness is to blame. @Lozart if you plan on ordering to try out their hop rubbers etc. let me know and i'll split the postage with you Lozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is interesting. It's a premium-priced gun (~£350) - I would like to know if Double Eagle can compete in that market sector. I would love to hear more in a review on here.
