(sorry I hit tab to move down to the body and it automatically posted just the topic?) So I have a KWA KM16 SR12, an Echo1 Red Star COVERT ak-47, and an A&K M60e4, I'm wondering, what brand and size/weight of bb is best for each? I've been using .20 gram airsoft elites on the M60, and .20 gram GoldenBall Proslicks on the KWA and Echo1, should I go to .23 on the KWA and Echo1? KWA KM16 SR12 = ? (using .20 gram GoldenBall ProSlick) Echo1 Red Star COVERT AK-47 = ? (using .20 gram GoldenBall ProSlick) A&K M60e4 = ? (using .20 gram Airsoft Elite)

I am wondering why do most fields (at least the ones I see in ohio) banned players from using metal mesh masks? To me it seems that metal would be better for protection and seeing than anything else. *personal I use facesave paintball/airsoft mask for protection, just curious why they are banned

Asked By: marine10108 in Tactical Gear Questions - 25 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

This is a health and safety crazy society, there is a microscopic possibility that a bb could shatter and some small fragments could pass through. The chances of this are low and should not prevent the use of mesh goggles. The likelyhood of stumbling and having a trip accident due to fogged goggles is far higher than the eye damage possibility.

Asked By: joeshmoe8510 in AEG Questions - 28 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Right lets get back to basics. You can get 25rps from almost any AEG but you need to do the work on it to make it work well. For a start you need to do a complete shim job on the gearbox, short stroke the piston and sector gear by 2 teeth, do a 1 1/2 tooth removal on the first piston teeth, fit an upgraded spring to compensate for the short stroke- if you want to keep the same FPS, ensure the sector timing by shimming the piston head, fit a sector clip. fit a braking mosfet, use a 11.1v Lipo, use midcaps to feed properly, fit a decent hopup unit and bucking...thats about it.

I bought an SHS delay chip and it doesn't seem to cut it. I'm using high cap magazines and it doesn't feed at all. I have access to a CNC mill and I'm planning on making a delay chip with a longer arc (delays the tappet plate for longer). Is this "safe"? Will further delaying the tappet plate reduce fps/ damage my gearbox? It will be about .52" long from one end to the other. Same height (won't pull tappet plate back any farther). Any other recommendations? Besides using midcaps. I'd make it out of lexan so it'd be structurally secure. Will this work?

Asked By: Shenikwa19 in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 31 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Delay chips should work fine if the gearbox is timed properly - changing the delay chip form is unlikely to compensate for the real problem. You can time the sector gear by shimming the piston head - check on youtube there are videos on this, Oddys airsoft has a good series.

so i know that there is a difference between torque gears and speed gears. I don't know what the difference is as far as the gear itself but I need to know a good gear set that is strong enough to pull about an M130 (400-430fps) spring and not mess with the rof. Cuz on say this Matrix Gearbox: http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=30443 it has "torque" gears in it. So if I buy that gearbox, drop a ~400 fps spring in it, and keep my Guarder Infinite Torque motor, will it give me a better ROF with those Matrix "torque" gears than say a different set or will it even matter?

Asked By: WinchesterAirsofta in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 38 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

A Guarder Infinite Torque motor will pull almost any spring, if you want to increase the speed get a standard ratio gearset in steel, this will cycle faster than the torque gears, and the motor can handle it. http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/JBU_Standard_Ratio_Reinforced_Metal_Gear_Set_p/acc-sdja-83.htm

I have been searching for an M4 tactical for a very very long time. Reason for an M4 tactical? I want a full stock without having the crane stock pinching my batteries. Honestly, what I am looking for in a gun is ability for customization (compatibility with after market parts), One that lasts in the long run (without much cleaning or getting into the gear box often), and rate of fire. I plan on buying an M4 as a secondary for me, I am a sniper and currently own the G98 by airsoft GI for about two years. I have had many many moments where I was right under the enemies nose, but I had to make a decision; one person or the other. Of course, it is quite easy to hit one, but it is a trade, the sniper rifle is rather loud even though it is spring. This is why I want ROF. I should be able to mow down pods of three when they are too close to me. I have been wondering if I should have gotten a gas pistol or gas submachine gun as everyone has been recommending. Unfortunately, I do NOT want to spend 50$ for a magazine that only holds 50 rounds! That is absolute nonsense! I am the type of person who will sprint all the way across the field in search of a good spot or to just snatch a person. Another reason why I would prefer an AEG is because my spotter(s) cannot follow me/ find me most of the time because I "blend in" so I have no one to support me when I do get in a pinch. Recommendations for other secondaries are appreciated as well as all comments. The M4's links are VFC: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=5730 G&G: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_107&products_id=2834 CA: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_91&products_id=8273 ICS: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_83&products_id=6802 Like I said, I will take all comments into consideration. Perhaps someone can persuade me to use some other equipment. Keep in mind, I like to stay lightweight/mobile and my sniper rifle weighs 11 pounds with my accessory (No biggie). I do own an MG and I have tries using it as a secondary... Not the best idea... I hope I get answers soon and Thank you for your time!

Asked By: MistuhD in AEG Questions - 38 days ago

As a secondary you need to keep it compact as possible, what about a pistol or super stubby M4. All the suppliers make at least one in their product range.

There is no basic difference- I would get a decent metal hopup (King Arms?), a madbull bucking and nub and an ultra tight 6.01 mm barrel for the AEG. Then you have a DMR (designated marskman rifle) as accurate as a sniper rifle but capable of protective auto fire if you get compromised.

I was shooting my g&g combat machine today and it wasn't shooting quite right on full auto. Finally the full auto mode just quit working all together. Then the same happened to the semi-auto. So I took the battery out of the crane stock and when I opened the crane stock, smoke came out and the battery and wires were steaming hot, as well as the inside of my stock. The motor grip was exceptionally hot as well. This was my first time shooting my gun with the new motor I had just installed (a TM EG 1000).

As you have just fitted a new motor I suspect that your installation had some flaws, either you have pinched some wires and shorted the battery, or not adjusted the motor height correctly - overloading the motor.

Asked By: gunny in AEG Questions - 61 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Ah grasshopper we now enter the world of Lithium battery chemistry. The LiFe battery has a number of advantages - it more closely matches the optimum standard airsoft voltage 9.9V Life to 9.6V Nimh,so extra work on gearboxes is reduced. The cells are more stable and do not self destruct on thermal runaway. LiFe cells have a flatter voltage curve so keep up the volts further into the game. If you want a higer voltage use a 13.2V Life -but be prepared for serious upgrade work.

Asked By: AirsoftinMaine in AEG Questions - 63 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

There is an obvious problem with the hop unit, bucking or nub. The only answer is to take it apart and sort it. Check out youtube using relevant search words to get the right instruction video - there are plenty there. If you are not confident then take it to your nearest airsoft workshop - it will be a minor job for them.

Asked By: blazeflow2000 in Battery/Charger Questions - 74 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

The C rating is a measure of the discharge capability of the battery pack relating to the battery capacity of the battery.The capacity is usually given in milli-Ampere-hours, divide by 1000 to get the ampere-hour rating. So a 1500mah battery at 10C can deliver 15 Amps of current. (1500/1000 x 10) Since the battery does not 'push' electricity into the motor then it is OK to use a highC battery as long as the gearbox and motor are properly rated for the Lipo Voltage

If you use any gun a piston strip is always a small chance. If you have a decent AEG gun with blowback it will not strip any more than a non-blowback as it is designed for it. IF you put a high power spring or high speed motor in one then you increase the chances of piston damage - this is more likely in an AEG mechanical blowback. Keep it stock and you will be fine.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I recently took out my barrel completely to clean it. When I put it back in the hop up I noticed it appeared as if the hop up was on even though the gears where all the way in the off position. I took the barrel back out and it looks like for some reason the nub wont sit flush in the hop up chamber. I fiddled with it rolling it back and forth, pressing it down with force etc and just will not sit flush so its like I cant turn the hop up off. When i turn the hop up on, near the full on gear position it starts to get tough to turn the grears and they even slip a little bit as i turn the hopup completely on. Prior to this barrel cleaning I've never had trouble getting the nub to sit flush so I can turn the hop up off. Any suggestions?

Wondering if my KWA m4a1 would be better with a 7.4 lipo or 11.1 lipo?

Asked By: Justan12 in AEG Questions - 83 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

That depends on the fps your gun is shooting - if it is less than 350 fps with 0.2g bbs then a 7.4v is best - 350 or over then 11.1v is fine. This is for a stock KWA where no work has been done. If you correct the gearbox angle of engagement and shave off the two first teeth on the piston and check the motor height and shimming then you can run an 11.1v on any KWA. This is due to the ROF you will get with the higher volt battery. You could fit a 9.6v LiFe for the best of both chemistries.

The field has an energy limit but expressed as a speed limit with a certain weight BB. First check what weight bbs the speed check is done with - 90% of fields use 0.2 - a few use 0.25. If you need to lose 30 fps then you can clip a few rings off the gearbox spring - probably about 2-4 depending on spring length. Get someone who can tek gearboxes to help.

I was wondering if I should get the 3 metal teeth piston, 7 metal teeth, or 15 metal teeth. I know that the 15 tooth will last longer, but will shorten the life of my gears. I was wondering though, if a 3 or 7 metal tooth piston would strip after about 20,000 rounds of 35+ rps.

Asked By: DiamondNinja99 in AEG Questions - 85 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

For high ROF solutions you want the piston to be as light as possible, metal teeth are not required. You need to remove the first two teeth after the rear engagement tooth to get better clearance and to time the gearbox by shimming the piston with some plastic spacers. Short stroking the sector gear can also help, and a sector clip is essential. See the Disguised Airsoft, Oddys and Mechbox6mm vids on Youtube

basically i am currently running an ICS turbo 3000 motor, as most of you will know this is a very loud motor. Another point to make is that my M4 is down on power so i am bumping in a stronger spring after checking the air seals and i wanted to know if the ICS turbo 3000 will be able to handle an M150,60 or 70 spring or should i upgrade and if so what too? The second part of my question is would it be worth me upgrading the piston as well? NOTE: already fitted a full cylinder without the air bleeding holes to compensate for the 590mm barrel i put in which i know is too long but i would be happy with around 300FPS with this barrel but its currently only chronoing at 220FPS with an M120 spring. I cut down the barrel after i posted this question and it made no difference to the FPS rating.

Your question is very confused - if you are happy with 300 fps then why are you talking of installing an M150+ spring thet would deliver between 500 and 600 fps? If the current problem is lack of power then the air efficiency is probably to blame or a crap hopup unit or setup.

KWA are a reputable supplier, and their gbb pistols are top quality. This does not stop them having the occasional lemon - it happens even with the best brands. It really annoys me when someone who has had a bad gun extrapolates this to a complete brand problem. If KWA produce a bad gun tell them and it will be sorted - unless you have caused the problem.

If you are not UKARA registered then it is illegal to purchase a RIF from wherever and Customs WILL confiscate the item. The US guns are also over powered for the UK sites coming in at about 400 fps not the 328 - 350 generally allowed in UK. The best option is to get a King Arms M4 which is delivered with black metal body and clear abs handguard, stock and grip. This can be TEMPORARILY changed to be black AT THE FIELD using standard stocks and hand guards, and restored to clear for transport and home storage. You will also need the shop to derate the spring from 360fps to 328 fps. The UK law makes it illegal to permanently change the AEG to a RIF but allows temporary covering whilst on a registered field.

FPS is a complex combination of barrel volume, cylinder volume and spring strength. If you increase the barrel and cylinder volume you need to increase the spring rating to suit. The battery volts has some effect if the motor is over stressed. I would uprate the spring and if required the motor.

Tokyo Marui is a good gun for stock use but will have serious issues when you start upgrading. the gearbox is designed for lower fps with nylon bushings and alloy gears (not steel) I would not start from here. If you already have then I would replace the entire gearbox with a KWA one from Airsoftworld - bargain at £70 at the moment. You will spend more on piecemeal upgrades and not get a better gearbox. To get the crisp trigger you can add (later) a plug in single shot lock King Kong Mosfet and a Lipo battery.And Deans connectors.

As long as the outer barrel is aligned with the inner its no problem. This can be done by fitting some (2-4) O-rings on the inner barrel towards the outer portion to space it and align with the outer. Echo-1 fit some models with short inners and an outer barrel extension - so no problem.

I am ordering a KWA SR10 2GX soon, and wondering what battery to get for it. I am trying to decide between a 7.4v 1600mah LiPo battery, or an 11.1v LiPo battery. And if these options are not good decisions, what would you get. I mainly just want a good field weapon, but i just don't know what battery to get other than the regular 9.6v battery i already have. here is the link for the 7.4v lipo http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=8211

bellshooter's Answer

If you are running a standard KWA ie in USA the either battery is fine - they are prepared for it - if in the UK then a lower powered spring is fitted and only a 7.4v is reccomended. I use Lipos in all my guns - just get a decent balance charger - try Hobbypartz or Hobbyking for a good one

What upgrades should i put in this to make it shoot around 400 fps at 20rps? Lipo?

Asked By: UnderDogzAirsoft in AEG Questions - 95 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Out of the box mine shoots 360 fps - you will need an upgraded spring - about M120 - do a shim job on the gearbox. The motor is ok on the standard spring but you may need a new motor for the uprate - try it and see. I would reccomend a Guarder ultimate torque if you need to upgrade. If you fit a lipo then fit a sector chip on the gear.

Ok so i want to go airsofting at Vanguard airsoft the only indoor CQB field in Arizona but the fps limit there is 330 and my MK36C is 370 and this guy from CQK airsoft (youtube chanel ) told me that buy keep turning the hop up higher and higher eventully the fps starts lowering and the hop up starting going back down. i want to check with you guys if this is true because i don't want to hurt my gun and i really dont want to buy a spring change if it wont lower the fps much. ( PS vanguard makes you use their bbs that are .20 i think )

Asked By: fuseairsoft in AEG Questions - 98 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Turning up the hop will only make a few fps difference and could cause blockage problems in the extreme position - and will not be correct for your bbs so will not be accurate. Thre are only two ways of reducing fps with a .2g test bb - replace/crop the spring or fit an SAT adjustable piston setup - the spring is cheaper but the piston can be adjusted for different fields.

I am purchasing a lonex 8mm ver 3 gearbox shell. It comes with 8mm ball bearings which I plan to remove right away. Should I get solid bushings or bearings. Yes, ball bearings and bearings are different. I will be using all shs internals with 18:1 gears. I will also be using an m120 spring and an element max speed motor with a 11.1v or 7.4v lipo at about 100 amps P.S. Don't say that this motor can't handle an m120 spring because I've seen videos of it pulling an m130 on a 9.6v with no problems.

Asked By: DiamondNinja99 in AEG Questions - 102 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Ball bearings are bearings, and bushings are solid bearings. The reason to use ball bearings is to take care of higher speed shafts - and solid bushings for extreme loadings such as extreme fps. The setup you quote will be fine with either, but I would fit ball bearings. Why replace the ones in the gearbox?

Asked By: airsoftchamp15 in Battery/Charger Questions - 102 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

As CNCman says higher volts and the generated ROF will wear out a gearbox faster, if you need a decent battery and are willing to go the Lipo route then a 7.4v one will give a very reliable power source. Try Hobbypartz.com for a right price battery.

An M100 should shoot in the 330 fps region but this varies from gun to gun depending how efficient the air system and gearbox is. If you get the M100 and it is a bit hot you can clip a few rings off the spring to weaken it.

Asked By: rvera3287 in General Airsoft Questions - 104 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

This gun is rated at about 425 fps - at this spring force an 11.1v lipo would not drive the gun too fast - the main problem with lipo ready guns is when the ROF is so high that the gearbox issues occur. IF the gearbox has been well shimmed and set up then it should be fine - but the usual advice is reshim the box, and burst fire the gun do not mag dump. Fit a mosfet if you are doing a lot of single shots as ther will be some contact wear in time.

I have the KA Colt trades metal M4 and it is just behind the KWA in internal quality and has excellent externals. An 8mm bearing gearbox and about 360 fps out of the box. ( I have a KWA internals self built as well) This gun would be my personal reccomend for a reasonably priced general skirmish gun for outdoor, mout and cqb. Only issue is if your cqb field accepts 360fps. A minor spring clip would reduce to 350 fps. Trick it out with 'Magpul' stock and front guard from Dealextreme for $40 and you have a NICE gun.

Hop up is a method of putting backspin on the BB - this changes how the BB flies - it curves it upwards opposing the drop in flight from a normal trajectory. Putting on the right level of hop (backspin) maximises the level BB flight.

So there are 2 types of pistons I have seen. Aluminum and Polycarb pistons. Other than the material that the piston itself is constructed of, what makes these 2 different? I assume that Aluminum is obviously stronger but will a polycarb one give you a better ROF and be a little more efficient??

Asked By: WinchesterAirsofta in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 106 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Most pistons - even the best quality are polycarb, lighter and more responsive. The only reason to use aluminium pistons is when running a very high fps spring. It will be more durable but is heavier and less responsive. Yes you will get a crisper response, small fps increase and small rof inprovement.

Asked By: DiamondNinja99 in AEG Questions - 114 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

If you are using solid bushings then there is no difference between a 7mm or 9mm as the bearing surface is the pivot shaft of the gear which does not change size. For bearing bushes there is a difference with heavier 140+ springs. So keep the gearbox and add decent internals.

Most polycarb gearboxes are garbage, these are a step up and can be ok, but if you want to upgrade and improve then stick with a decent metal cased mechbox. On paper polycarb is strong but in real experience it is more likely to crack and fatigue if higher load springs are fitted and gear grease can be detrimental to polycarb properties.

Either would be fine - YOU have to decide if a set of iron sights is more preferable than 7 levels of brightness on each colour dot (rather than 2 per colour) I would go with the Guarder one due to the brightness adjustment - all other features are pretty similar

If you want a durable replacement for standard gears then yes these are fine up to about an M140-150 max spring., to get a better answer you need to be more specific, what fps and RPS what battery do you run etc

Asked By: jake234 in AEG Questions - 137 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Both are good guns for the money, the latest versions of chinese gearboxes are pretty good from either maker, but usually could do with a reshim to improve life. The only down side for the M14 is that the gearboxes are more difficult to work on than a standard V2 as fitted to the T3. Decide what your preference is they will both do a DMR/Sniper role. I prefer the looks of the M14 and it fits US loadouts, the T3 is for for European style.

Not on most guns as the valve is fixed size, requiring a valve change out to mod fps. Some new Rifles have an adjustable valve, or can be fitted with an aftermarket kit from RA-TECH.

The motor is pulling a high current maybe because it is driving against a heavy force. This is due to poor meshing, adjustment or lack of lube. Or motor bushes could be worn giving high current draw. You really need a shop tech to check it out or an experienced airsofter who understands Augs.

I have a 7.4v 1600mAh 18A battery, and was just wondering how you would find out the rating in c value.

Asked By: PlayDough28 in Battery/Charger Questions - 156 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Any battery has a C rating for its long and short term capability of Current (Amps) delivery. Lithium batteries (and some others) have a really high short and long term capability. This is called the C rating , !C is the curremt that will drain the battery in 1 hour. Most batteries are 'rated' at the C/5 rating or 5 hour drain rating. 1200 mAh battery will give 240 mA for 5 hours. Higher currents will reduce the overall delivery (mAh) and increase the current (mA). Lithium batteries can give long term delivery of 5C to 30+C - normally 15-25C this means a 1200 mAh can give constant current of 18Amps to 30 Amps and double that for short periods. The C rating is usually on the battery but if not assume 5-15C It does not matter a damn as long as it drives the motor OK!

12g CO2 will give from 50-100 rounds shooting depending on mag volume and temperature. A 40 round mag is pretty big for a gas gun so your usage is about right. NO freezers will have no effect. Lube the seals with silicon oil to optimise sealing.

Ok, so i recently got a g&p m4 moe. Since it comes with mini deans connectors, and the battery is in the buffer tube, it's pretty hard to find a battery that will fit. I came home with a 7.4 1600mAh stick type with a MINI TAMIYA connecter. The guy said that it would work as long as i matched the red and black wires on the battery to the red and black wires on the gun, or else i would screw up my gun. So, like a dumb ass, i connected it the wrong way by accident. The gun made a clicking sound in the gearbox and didnt shoot. When i connected it like i should, it went back to shooting regularly. I'm wondering if i should expect something to be broken in the gearbox, or if i should stop being ocd about it and not worry. And, if someone has found a micro dean to mini type adapter, please share where you got it, thanks everyone!

If you didnt over shoot with the wrong polarity it should be fine as the anti reversal latch would prevent gearbox movement in reverse - hence the name- only possible damage is motor stress or pinion gear due to locked gearbox. If it is shooting OK go for it and dont be OCD! - if it fails in the future just deal with it.

It is legal if you stick to your own land or a proper airsoft site, not if transported outside of a closed bag or case. Check to see if there are any screws or roll pins holding the flash hider and remove, most are Counter Clock Wise so righty loosey EXCEPT G&P which are CW threads. Many are glued on - you might loosen it with hot water, a hair dryer or heat gun. BE CAREFUL. Use channel lock pliers with a cloth or leather cushion around the flash hider. - or you could just spray it the right colour?

Would it be safe to run a Tenergy 11.1 volt 1600 mah 20c battery in the 2gx kwa km4a1?

Asked By: edawg3098 in AEG Questions - 172 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

The KWA is designed to run the 11.1v lipo as long as you keep the original spring. If a lower power spring is installed (for cqb) then the rof will increase and you should use a 7.4v lipo to prevent excessive wear.

Asked By: sparta436 in AEG Questions - 173 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

DO NOT grease the gearbox as described by SFR023 this is completely wrong! The gearbox contains plastic, metal and electrical parts - to service or lubricate you need to open the gearbox and treat each part to the correct lubrication. One lube will mess up the other parts. The smell could be some burning of the trigger contacts - but nothing to do with the LiPo battery. If you do a lot of long fully auto shots then this can happen.

I have been doing some research on KWA because I plan on getting one. I watched a couple of videos showing the inside of the gearbox and saw that it had a non ported aluminum piston head and no shims on the gears. Will this affect the guns performance and cause it to break easier?

Asked By: AirsoftinMaine in AEG Questions - 177 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

The KWA 2GX gearbox is one of the best on the market. KWA do not port their piston heads as they consider porting a way of getting a good seal from a poor seal design/manufacture they just make the seal right. They do minimal gear shimming as their gearboxes are better toleranced than most. This combined with bearing spring guides, 9mm bearings, sector clips and reinforced shells make for a rock solid design.

Dont bother - the usual std barrel is 6.08mm, the KWA is already fitted with a semi tight 6.05mm one. Just use it and enjoy it. If after a few months you want a Tighter barrel then a 6.03mm one is best as the 6.01 versions need a much more rigorous maintenance and pellet selection regime.

I have a cyma 7mm gearbox, and I was wondering if I could put 8mm bushings in it without having to modify/replace my gearbox.

Asked By: DiamondNinja99 in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 185 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

The measure is the diameter of the bearing and the fitting hole in the gearbox shell. you cannot fit 8mm bushings in a 7mm hole, and do not need to do so. Bushings do not need to be large as the gear shaft is the same size and this is the bearing surface. The only reason for larger bearings is if a ball bearing (not solid) is used as the ball bearing load capability depends on the diameter and bearing area.

I have a completely stock CYMA cm048 ak74. Will a 7.4v lipo put more wear and tear on the internals than a 9.6v, or would a 9.6v be the best bet for durability?

Asked By: DiamondNinja99 in Battery/Charger Questions - 185 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

There are two issues - voltage and current delivery. The 7.4v Lipo will have a lower voltage than a 9.6v Nimh but will deliver a higher current IF NEEDED. A 7.4v Lipo is probably the BEST for wear and tear on a gearbox while delivering a good rof and trigger response. It will deliver a rof similar to a 9.6v nimh and LESS wear on the gearbox/motor due to a lower voltage The advice on good shimming is GOOD and helps with gearbox life..

Hey guys! So I'm looking to get a new airsoft gun and I'm horrible with decisions. So the internet shall make it for me! This is going to be my first gun after playing around with my friends' G&G's. I can't decide if I want to be a sniper, or get an AEG. The sniper I've been looking at is the Echo 1 M28. I've heard some good things about it and I plan to get a nice scope with it. The AEG I'm interested in is the KWA SR-7. Maybe I could meet in the middle and get an SR-10. I've heard that the SR-7 can reach out pretty far. I have also been looking at the XCR by Echo 1, but the limited battery space worries me, and I don't want a Li-Po or a PEQ. plus there seems to be a lack of external upgrades for it. I've also been thinking that IF I get the M28 I would get a gas pistol (KWA ATP) right along with it and use that for CQB/ Closer range engagements. I plan to get the pistol with the AEG too, but maybe not so soon. So internet, please help me choose my position. Thanks!

The standard barrel is usually 6.08mm, a TB 6.03 will improve grouping out to a longer range - they really are linked. The bucking will improve consistancy improving accuracy, fps will only really improve if you sort the air path sealing - O-ring nozzle, better hopup unit, - or replace the spring. FPS is not an accuracy improvement - needs consistent hop unit.

Why is the standard ratio 2:1 - 1.5:1 for volume to barrel volume? I'm not quite clear on that whole thing. I'm using an ICS L86A2 with a 650mm 6.03TBB with a Type O cylinder. After i did all the calculations, it has a 1.2:1 volume ratio and I have never had any problems with it. It shoots high 300s (around 380-390 depending on the ambient temp) at a little over 30 rounds per second. I have no problem with suck back or BB drag at all. So I am wondering why it is that my 1.2:1 ratio works perfectly fine when everyone else says that it's too low to work properly. I'm confused...

Asked By: BSDJoker in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 189 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

As long as you have a positive ratio with a small margin to account for some air losses then the BB will have left the barrel before the cylinder stops. The worse the air path efficiency the greater the margin required. Also a type 0 cylinder has no vents so you cannot do better with a standard diameter cylinder.

If you want higher ROF then the obvious route is a Lipo battery you could use a 10.8 nimh but I am not sure it will fit. You cannot upgrade the battery without attending to the gearbox. If you dont do some work on the gearbox you will break it. Shim the gearbox, clean and regrease the gears, time the sector gear, add a delayer clip, ensure the piston is good - preferably with the second tooth removed and a metal last tooth to prevent wear. Then run the gun and see if the gears will stand up. They should.

I own an Army armament R17 which is a clone of the Tokyo marui G17.One of my mags is leaking really bad so I wanted to try something new, I've seen these "Tokyo marui compatible" G17 50 rounds GBB mags in many asian stores so I want to give them a try but I don't want to waste my money.I want to know if I can trust these mags or not. Any answer will be highly appreciated. :)

Asked By: meccano300 in Buying Airsoft Guns - 226 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Generally this is a combat machine with a few external frills - rails etc - but a big NoNo is the short inner barrel they state that it is 363mm long ie same as M4A1 so this is well short of the correct length for this gun as a DMR. This means they have probably left the original M4 type ported cylinder on so any longer barrel would need a different cylinder to optimise.

All good guns - M14 tends to have higher accuracy at long distance, consider a KWA with rock solid gearboxes, otherwise the G&P is a great gun, high end King Arms are also good. No gun lasts forever, but if you dont uprate the spring to high levels it will last longer.

im trying to figure out what style of play would in the long run get more hits in an average outdoor game. will 400fps with the ability to go full auto yield more hits or would 450fps DMR semi auto, and the extended range it gives yield more hits? whats your opinion as a player? my reason to ask is i want to build a super accurate dmr out of a kwa sr12, a cant decide if its more game effective to go full auto or dmr..... 509mm inner barrel

Asked By: gunny in AEG Questions - 228 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

50 fps is not enough difference to make a semi-auto worth it. If you want to mix roles then get an accurate 400 fps gun - say a decent M14 - that has enhanced accuracy - TB barrel and decent hopup. This will do both roles well.

Asked By: susuico_671 in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 230 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

No You get the motor you need for the setup you have. If it is a stock gun and OK then you dont need one. If you fit a high fps spring M130 plus then you will probably need a high torque motor unless you sacrifice rof by using high torque gears. If you want to uprate the rps then fit a high speed motor, but be prepared to have more gearbox maintenance.

I have only worked with the m4/m16 type hop-up units, and while searching for a 6.01mm tbb, I've noticed many online retailers state that some are for specific guns. Example, i choose a 407mm 6.01mm-length tbb by madbull, and the site says it is for the AK-47. Does this mean this is only meant for AK-style hop-ups, or are they stating the stock length of the gun's inner barrel? Edit: In general, are all AEG barrels made universally for any AEG hop-up unit?

Asked By: Unreal_808 in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 231 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

There are a few exceptions but nearly all inner barrels have a common hop up interface - certainly all common makes of clone guns do. CA, KWA, King Arms, GG, GP, etc This gives a common outer barrel fit (with the washer/olive) and common cutouts for hop nubs. Where a spcific type of gun is indicated (AK, M4, M14) this is due to barrel length, where a specifc MAKE of gun is quoted (Innikatsu, Marushin etc) then this could be a special fit.

bellshooter's Answer

I use 7.4v lipos on all my stock guns - CA Sportline (plastic bushed gearbox!), King Arms, CA M16 with KWA gearbox (I suppose that is upgraded!). The maximum voltage that a 7.4v lipo generates is 8.4v fully charged and will NOT damage any standard AEG. The speed generated will be between an 8.4v and 9.6v Nimh as it does not suffer from voltage droop under high current loads.

As long as your gun wiring is not faulty then yes - it will not discharge any quicker. If there is any defect in the wiring or trigger then there could be problems.

Apart from a decent shim and lube job in the gearbox, you might need to replace the bearings with metal bushings - probably run it and see if the bearings hold up, you are likely to need a high torque motor - the guarder infinite torque motor is a good one, and as for gears again run it and see.

If the problem is with the barrel then a replacement one is required about $25-40 - have you spoken to Evike? they might be more helpful than you think!

Are you crazy? To upgrade to a 160 spring you will have to do a complete gearbox rebuild with high torque gears, piston and head and silent kit, ultra torque motor, Deans connectors, high quality battery, reshim, bearing metal spring guide, - Just a new gun internally.

You need to post the exact spring as they vary - if you mean an M160 spring then a complete rebuild is required as it will shoot very hot - 500+ - some 160% springs will shoot at as little as 400 fps and would require less gearbox work.

Asked By: paulgnc24 in AEG Questions - 245 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Lets put some of this misinformed rumour to bed. The main reason for gearboxes to 'blow' at the front is a combination of high rated springs , cold weather and usually poor air tightness. The piston is the poorly damped and impacts the gearbox. Improving the air seal is a good thing. Ball bearing spring guides are good generally, cylinder head ok, Unless you have a highly rated spring then aluminium piston heads are not required. If you fit alu piston heads, then a Sorbothane buffer is a good idea. Nozzle can be alu or plastic the important thing is the Orings.

Lets set a few things straight. Most metal receivers are zinc cast bodies known as pot metal. This includes ALL of the high price guns except Systema - Plastic bodies are fine if the original is plastic = G36 or Famas etc For M4 or AK guns - metal bodies are the real thing and required. Plastic body M4 or AK are severe compromises.

You will need to fit a delta ring to the receiver - this will need a gun wrench to do so. So add an extra $10 or so for this, and you need a handguard cap retained by a standard triangle front sight or special sling mount block. You should not need to change barrels If not confidant get a more experienced airsofter to help - even a shop should only charge a few dollars as it is a quick conversion.

The Lipo will have a higher current delivery capacity depending on the 'C' rating - usually between 15 and 30 - so it can deliver between 50 and 90 amps - and this will improve any trigger response. To deliver best response a Deans or XT60 high current connector is required. The Nimh battery will have about a 30 amp capability. For Lipos C x ah = 15 x 3.3 = 49.5 amps

The AK's look really nice and have a higher FPS and considering they have the longer barrel I take it will shoot more accurate. I know that the full stock on the AK has the capability for a larger battery than the folable stock but I kind of like the folder because of it's folding ability.

Can JG gearboxes handle an 11.1v lipo battery? I am not planning on using it in full auto very much if at all, I just want that snappy trigger response because I am planning on building an economically friendly DMR.

Asked By: ckaminski95 in AEG Questions - 262 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

If all you need is good trigger response then fit a simple braking Mosfet and use a 7.4V Lipo with a high mah and 20+ 'C' rating. This will give a really good trigger response not limited by current draw. 11.1 v lipos would require more gearbox work to use.

If i am buying a lipo only for use on semi only will it still mess up internals/motor? Stock G&G Raider. Also what is a good lipo to fit into a crane stock?

bellshooter's Answer

I use a custom 7.4V lipo in a crane stock - made from tubular NOT square cells. No problem to fit and gives good response without frying internals. But you need to get familiar with the discipline of using the technology with special balance chargers and battery monitors in use.

Asked By: Ciez219 in Battery/Charger Questions - 264 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

First get a decent smart charger this will optimise any battery pack.These can be bought at most stores for between $15 and $30. Then check the length of your current battery in the gun - do you have room for an extra cell in length? An extra cell would give you a 9.6v battery, if not then you are stuck with an 8.4v one. You can fit a 1400-1600mah battery in there of the stick type - the more mah the better for long use. They can be bought from any of the major airsoft shops - Tenergy and Intellect are OK brands

Been away from the airsoft scene for awhile. Are the ROF produced and general wear on a gearbox similar in a 9.6v nimh and 7.4v lipo? And if someone could just recount the basic benefits of a lipo over a nimh? Thanks

Asked By: Gamecock in Battery/Charger Questions - 269 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

The wear and tear on gearboxes should not be an issue for either battery, as they do not overspeed the internal components beyond their design. It is often not an issue of component quality but of shimming, and other design issues including feeding (use of a sector clip helps) and bearing quality - replace any nylon bearings with metal. The ROF is a complex affair NOT just to do with Volts but also Current capability including wiring resistance and connector resistance. A Lipo battery will be able to deliver more current so IF your motor is being slowed by lack of current , it will speed up. Generally a 7.4 Lipo will give a similar or slightly lower ROF tha a 9.6V Nimh pack - but this depends on all the other factors. Lipo advantages - small and lighter for similar capacity - can get more capacity in small spaces. Consistant current delivery over long bursts, very high short burst capability.Can be cheaper if Radio Control packs used. Lipo disadvantages - Need better charging and discharging management with balance chargers and low voltage alarms.

If I give the reciever a nice hard smack when the trigger is doing that it pops back into place with a click. When the whatever it is is stuck and I put the battery in, it fires one shot and it works fine from there. What worrys me is this is a new gun and this could forshadow problems to come.

armor is right - if you use beyond a 9.6v NIMH battery (Not a Lipo zackox) then you will put greater wear and tear on all the gearbox components. In addition to the rest a tooth removal on the piston, precise gear timing, spring bearings, and a sector clip to improve feeding will be required. Matching motor, gears and piston is a must.

Stop the nonsense A low cost Smart charger will fast charge the battery until full and then switch to a very low trickle value that will not damage the battery unless left on for many hours. You should never leave a battery completely unnattended - go back every hour or two and take it off charge when indicated full. A really intelligent charger will ramp off the charge as it approaches the top voltage level and optimise the battery charge, and indicate full charge with a 'BEEP' The best source for chargers are the on line US radio control model suppliers.

i have an echo 1 m4 and while i was out playing, i was firing on semi auto and the thing just stopped firing. i have already checked the fuse and it is in perfect shape and my battery had half of its original charge left on it, and i was not firing too fast on semi auto. it sounded like the spring was pulled back but didn't go thru with a full cycle. i think either my motor or my gear box locked up but i am not sure...any ideas?

Asked By: nevetS in Repair Questions - 302 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

This can happen with a lower voltage battery and a gearbox that is not quite adjusted for angle of engagement or has poor shimming or lubrication. Where the internal resistance is just too much for a half discharged battery. If you can get access to a fully charged 9.6 volt battery then if you run it on that in full auto it will likely cycle over and be ok. If not then you need to access the gearbox and trip the antireversal latch to release the spring. Then sort out the problem - get a tech to look at it.

I love mine - I have the one with full engraved COLT trades. Shoots 360-370 out of the box , good quality hop up unit, straight shooter. I have replaced the front grip with a Magpul FDE MOE and the stock with a VLTOR FDE crane stock, fitted with an ACOG it look sick! I have King Arms, Dboys, Classic Army Hi-caps all fit and feed fine. I use MAG 190 rnd mid caps and 'green label' Magpul 75 rnd mids. The MAGs work fine but the Star made Magpuls are a bit iffy - need a wedge of tape to get feeding well.

ok so im upgrading my g&g cm to be more of a speedloadout and was wondering if the stock 6.04 mm barrel is ok? ive heard tightbores are not the best in a gun with a high rof.

Asked By: PAPABEAR2161 in AEG Questions - 303 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

As you are after a speed loadout a tightbore is less important. You already have a 6.04 barrel which is semi tight - normal is 6.08 - so not much point in upgrading. Do Not get a 6.01 tb as you then have a serious maintenance and BB regime to follow. No more matrix or medium cost BB's you will have to run the best quality ones and maintain the barrel and hopup meticulously. Please do not heed people with little or no experience of this - the extra hassle is not worth it unless you are seriously hardcore and running highly modified high end guns. Start with a VFC, KWA or similar for this level of tech.

bellshooter's Answer

If you want a longer barrel it will be better accuracy but the cylinder in your AEG is probably ported to suit a short barrel and would need to be changed if a longer barrel is fitted. All the components of an AEG have to match so changing to a longer barrel requires other work.

Does the Suction effect with cylinders only happen when the cylinder is ported?

Asked By: joshizinfamous in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 306 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

The so called suction effect occurs when the air volume coming from the cylinder is too small for the air volume in the barrel. It can happen in full cylinders if the air seals in the air path are not good and air escapes from piston, nozzle and hop unit. More often when a heavily ported cylinder designed for rapid fire from a short barrelled aeg eg mp5 or shorty M4 cqb or PDW is used with a long barreled gun 450mm+ standard M16 is 509mm! They are ported to match air volume AND improve trigger response allowing the cylinder to accelerate quickly against no pressure for the firsy part of the stroke. Get the reccomended ported cylinder for the barrel length and ensure good air path sealing.

A high fps gun is good for field use but fps without control is nothing. Decent barrel, bucking, hop unit etc required. But many fields will not allow such guns - and rated 'fps' is always done with a specified bb weight (usually 0.2g) so field limits are not evaded by higher weight bbs. Your gun is rated at 503 fps - many fields will not allow this level for an aeg.

Madbulls are good barrels and perform well - its mostly personal preference or prejudice that dictates what people reccomend. If its 6.03 and straight then it works, I have some Lonex barrels and they are great despite some adverse comment from people with strong views on one brand or another!

I'm going to be buying a uniform. I play in open environments as well as woodland areas and the occasional urban environment. I've been going back and forth between a woodland uniform and a digital ACU uniform. I know that the woodland uniform would perform better in woodland areas, while the ACU would perform better in the open areas and urban. This being said, I play about as much in woodland areas as I do in open and urban areas. Which should I buy? Both of the uniforms cost the same, so price should not persuade my decision.

Is there a significant accuracy difference between the CM16 Raider shorty version and long version, because I am thinking about buying that gun.

Asked By: bbproofvest in AEG Questions - 329 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

It's more of a range issue - both will be similar in inherent accuracy but the longer barrel should shoot further with greater accuracy. If you are playing mostly CQB the it wont matter too much - if using for field use then there is an advantage to the longer barrel - 225mm short, 357mm long inner barrels.

Does the King Arms M4A1 have respectable internals? I am replacing everything except the cylinder, piston, gears, motor, and gearbox shell so I am mostly concerned with the quality of those parts. Thanks in advance for any help.

Asked By: ckaminski95 in AEG Questions - 330 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Are you crazy - the reason to buy a decent gun is NOT to replace parts. Even the most hardcore players will only check the shimming and timing. They do not replace stuff that is good quality for the sake of an 'upgrade'. The KA has decent internals and good hopup unit - the only replace for me is a TB barrel. But the original seems accurate anyway - does not seem 6.08 - could be 6.05? Buy it and enjoy skirmishing with it before you decide if you need any upgrades. Mine shoots a healthy 375 fps and 13.5 rps with a 7.4V Lipo.

This is an M4 - it has a 360-373mm inner barrel depending on what ASGI fitted. And a ventilated cylinder to suit the barrel volume. They fit the same general internals in all the M4 & M16 variants except the air volume parts to tune the output - so an M4 has a ventilated cylinder, and an M16 has a full cylinder. And where are you putting the rest of the barrel? in a mock silencer ?

VFC uses a poly carb piston with aluminum piston head while King Arms uses a nylon fiber piston and head. Also, apparently the VFC bucking isn't too good while King Arm's is very good. There aren't many differences between them from there. Now, I'm wondering if the VFC is worth the extra $80.

The VFC gearbox is 'good' and the KWA is better. People tend to push their KWA's to the limit - and beyond so they do break. VFC's have excellent externals and KWA have good ones.

Just got my KWA M9 today and am using propane. My adapter (AI) instructions say that I should use two drops of oil for every 8 mags. I hear that I should add more oil for every 2-3, 4-5, or 1-2 mags. Should I listen to the instructions or is it 8 mags. Also, after my first mag with ASGI .25g BBs, I noticed white specs in the hop-up and barrel. There wasn't any problems with performance, I'm just wondering if it is something to be worried about. It's a KWA M9 PTP with NS2. I have two mags for it.

Asked By: tylerflow in Gas Gun Questions - 334 days ago

If AI says 8 mags is OK then I would stick with it - the function is just to add a bit of lube into the mags, if you start getting sticking valves and leaks then up it to 4 mags. The BBs could be contaminated with flash (excess moulding plastic) that is rubbing off in the storage bag, I would use another brand after these are used up. Clean your barrel and mag stack after each days use.

List of a few with links would be sweet

Asked By: CarrieUnderwood in AEG Questions - 335 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Most guns are lipo ready. Any decent gun can run a 7.4V lipo, I would not include CA Sportlines or any others with plastic bushings. 7.4 Lipos are actually 8.4V fully charged and deliver current well so are close to the speed of a 9.6 NiMh in a smaller package. For an 11.1V lipo you need to ensure the gearbox internals are decent, steel gears, sector clip, with an accurate shimming and timing job done, and you cannot use a low power spring or it will run too fast. A gearbox with 8mm bearings or above will cope better with the speed. KWA gearboxes start with 9mm bearings but still need to be checked for shimming and timing. Like any other.

Should I, How, how often, and where should I lube my Mp5 and 1911? I have been lubing my guns but I am not sure if I am maximizing the potential of each gun. Thanks...

Asked By: adame101 in General Airsoft Questions - 337 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

I will assume the MP5 is an aeg and the 1911 is a gbb. MP5 - clean the barrel after every full days use, Lube the feed path in the mags every 2-3 outings (more if feed problems), Lube the air path (piston, o-rings, nozzle, cylinder head) if you start getting reduced fps - you will need to crack the gearbox open so NOT a regular job. If you crack the gearbox then clean and regrease the gears. Use silicon oil for all air path and mags, silicon grease for the piston runners and white lithium for the metal gears ONLY. 1911 - clean & lube the slide every month or so - grease depends on whether it is metal faces or plastic - silicon grease is a safe bet. Clean the barrel after each days use (not an hours plinking) and make sure the valves in the mag are silicon oil lubed occasionally. If you get a leakeing valve - remove it and soak in silicon oil for an hour - often fixes the leak.

bellshooter's Answer

If you current setup is on the limit of the motors capability then it is clear that ANY upgrade will cause more stress and require motor upgrading. Guarder ultimate torque or similar and maybe a new standard gear set to keep a higher speed. If you start with a GG raider and upgrade you will have to get a new motor, if you intend to keep a high ROF then you will cause rapid wear on gears and probably piston. You need an excellent shim job on the gears and expect to replace something fairly quickly. Get a 6.03 barrel as the maintenance on a 6.01 is much more rigorous, and you for this you can only buy the best BB's

Asked By: deadlyzach in AEG Questions - 341 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

It is not a matter of KWA going downhill just one of physics, to get the right combination of air volume filling and rate of fire / fps in a short barrelled gun the spring/cylinder (and venting) combination will be optimum for a particular voltage. There is insufficient resistance in the air circuit to absorb the extra energy from an 11.1 Lipo - thay should simply say that the short barrel AEGs are only suitable for 7.4 Lipos! Unless you fit a stronger spring and less vented cylinder. In the UK where we have limited fps KWA have said that the gubs are not 11.1 ready due to the above.

Since I obtained it, out of the box it shot around 315-330. Now im trying to get it to spew out around 390 and lower. just not over four hundred or ill be banned from the two near by arenas. Also Im trying to make the rof a bit high. currently its shoots about 15bbs per sec. but im looking for about 20-30bbs per sec. IM looking into a tight bore barrel but can any of you fellow M249 users tell me what type of gears or internal gear box upgrades you would prefer? Im looking for exact names of parts and or links to purchase them. Im trying to stay under 300 bucks for internal upgrades though. Because Im purchasing an under RIS, and a P.E.Q box so I can store the battery outside of the gun and mount my grenade launcher to the bottom of the rail.

I measured the back end of my bearings and they seem to be 8mm. But when I go to purchase, I see 6mm and 8mm only look different from the other side and seem to be 8mm on the back. I read the inside size should be a bigger size as it helps remove stress on the bushing/bearing. So can I just purchase any size up to 8mm?

Asked By: ZaCkOX in AEG Questions - 342 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

NO you must buy the correct size - this is the outside diameter of the fit in the gearbox shell, anything smaller will not hold in and anything larger will not fit. The inside diameter is standard to fit the gear axle. Bushings have no benefit from larger size as the wear surface is between the gear axle and the bushing, bearings do benefit as the weight bearing surface is within the bearing and increases with size.

Just replaced the blown fuse in my CA M15A4 Sportline. I went to 3 stores and no one had the exact fuse. The fuse is a 20 amp 250 volt glass. The one I got was a 20 amp 250 volt ceramic. I figured it would work the same but now I just hear a click in the motor. Do I need a glass fuse? I checked all the wiring and found no pinches or anything.

The correct fuse is a 20-25A wire in glass fuse - try motor factors (auto stores) or home depot. Volyage is not important as you only need 12V capability .

which is best and whats the difference between them?

Asked By: XairsoftloverX in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 345 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Bearings offer lower resistance and can be used in higher ROF setups to cope with the shaft speeds. The larger the bearing the better its load carrying capability, so use of 9mm needed for high ROF and FPS set ups - KWA fit these as standard now to cope with strong springs and Lipo driven speeds. Bushings are not improved by bigger sizing, the area of bearing surface is the same, as the moving part is the gear axle - the same whatever the outside diameter. Just ensure they are good material and lubed correctly. Larger bushings are usually fitted so the gearbox can have the same holes for bearings and bushings.

You need to be more specific as this varies with Manufacturer, front sight and barrel/moderator design etc The inner barrel can also stop befor the end of the outer barrel. That said - for a standard long M4/M16 with 10-12 inch RIS it is likely to be a 509/510mm barrel, with standard length of outer barrel sticking out of the RIS. With a short barrel treatment then a 363/375mm could be fitted.

bellshooter's Answer

Mosfets do only one thing - let the motor have as much current as they are needing without running this high current through the trigger contacts. You need to edit your question to be more specific about the attributes of the battery and spring etc of the gun. Hot batteries are due to exceeding the battery capability so if no short circuits then excessive use or incorrect battery spec.

Yet another is it lipo ready question - be prepared for the same answers - yes and no.

But needs a balance charger and a bit of care. Any gun can run an 11.1V lipo if it can be rated for the speed generated - this means that all components have to be good quality, gearbox shimming and timing must be set right, DO NOT use a light spring as this will run too fast, and a Mosfet trigger is a good idea to prevent contact burn.

Also, would I have to upgrade the gears and bushings if I plan on getting this piston? The gears are a little worn and the bushings are plastic. I'm trying to determine whether a nearly complete gearbox upgrade is needed and worth it in this gun.

Asked By: tylerflow in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 352 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

If you have almost stripped teeth after 15k shots the I expect that tha gearbox needed shimming and timing properly. Best to use a abs piston perhaps with a single metal tooth. Definitely replace the plastic bushings with metal 6mm ones. Clean the gearbox first and sparingly regrease with white lithium grease on the METAL GEARS ONLY and silicon grease on the piston, silicon oil on air path seals - piston head seals etc. Gears in the Sportlines are not regular CA gears but cheaper versions from cj=hina. - regular CA gears are good, but i would run the gears as long as no teeth are missing or badly damaged. It is worth upgrading as most gearboxes would need some work before use.

King Arms Magpul/ Colt m4. Well is it? why or why not? http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=7779

Asked By: sparta436 in AEG Questions - 354 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Any gun is 7.4V lipo ready as it has a max no load voltage of 8.4V and DOES NOT force motors to work harder. It will give an fps between an 8.4 and 9.6 Nimh battery, but will be lighter and last longer as you can fit in higher mah. Using an 11.1v lipo requires the gearbox to be shimmed and set up really well as it will allow the motor to draw high currents at 11.1v to 12.6v - so increased ROF. Also the gears and piston/cylinder end need to be really good quality and adjusted well. It is NOT adviseable to use an 11.1v lipo with a low energy spring as you will get a very high ROF and overspin. Use of a Braking Mosfet will help control and prevent trigger contact burn.

Theyre both china obviously. Dont tell me all that stuff about HK being a british colony til 1998 and all that stuff. Is it just a marketing technique when an airsoft company says "OMG OUR GUNS ARE MADE IN HONG KONG! (not china)" whats up with that?

Asked By: sparta436 in General Airsoft Questions - 355 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Because Hong kong was a British colony before we gave it back to China it has an ethos of higher quality production than the rest of China. China is catching up however and the most recent guns are getting really good - recent Cyma and DBoys are really improved helped by Echo1 and Cybergun QA requirements for rebranded guns. Hong Kong is not in Japan and yes Taiwanese guns generally have a good quality control.

I recently purchased a king arms colt m4 and now I'm worried about the quality of these guns. It didnt work straight out of the box. When i tried firing it the motor was just whining and it would shoot bbs, but 1 in 5 of them was a flyer. After trying to adjust the motor to the correct position for a little bit over an hour, i had no success. It just kept doing that high pitched whining a motor would do if it was adjusted too high. Finally the gun just quit firing. I didnt open up the gearbox because that would void the warranty. Id also like to add that the external build is EXCEPTIONAL. Evike doesnt accept returns so they just sent me a new gun. Anybody have anything to say about the quality of king arms guns? Im horribly worried about thier quality control. EDIT: i'd also like to add that right after evike confirmed my defective gun arrived at their store, the price of this particular gun fell 50$

I want to upgrade the barrel in my TM Beta Spetsnaz. Should I put a Tanio Koba Twist Barrel in it or a 6.03 tightbore? Thanks

Asked By: Boba Fett in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 356 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

A TK twist barrel can only operate at 330fps +/- 20 as it does NOT spin the BB but creates a cushion of vortex air between the BB and the inner barrel to stop BB bounce off the inner walls. A tightbore limits BB movement by reducing the gap between BB and barrel. For a sniper rifle shooting heavy BB's at 330-350 fps a TK could be a good choice, but for a standard AEG a tightbore is the best choice.

A Mosfet acts like a solid state switch so it takes the high current away from the trigger contacts and sends the current directly to the motor. The trigger contacts see only a small current so last a long time. Trigger response is also quicker and one with braking will short the motor (NOT the battery) to stop it at the right time to prevent overspin of the gearbox double feeding of BB's.

How do you make your G&G Combat Machine M4 Raider lipo ready? or is it already

Asked By: Airsoftmaster01 in AEG Questions - 363 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Lipo Ready just means properly adjusted and with decent parts! So do a decent shim job on the gears - see oddys airsoft on Youtube, and time the sector gear correctly. Add a sector clip to the sector gear yo improve feeding. The base gears in GG are OK but can be improved by an upgrade - I would run the gun till it fails before upgrading. Piston needs last tooth removal and greasing with silicon to get decent air seal. Upgrade the spring guide with a bearing. Upgrade the gear bushings to bearings if possible. And add a Mosfet either a burst wizard or a braking Mosfet.

So I recently installed a bunch of new internals into my V2 gearbox. When reassembling the gearbox, I wasn't sure exactly how the tappet plate attached to the nozzle. What I did was put it so that the nozzle was on the inside of the tappet plate, between it and the cylinder head (if that makes sense... can't think of how else to explain it). Everything else I know I put back together correctly... So when I put the gun back together and went to test fire it, it's now double feeding and shooting bbs maybe 25 ft. I have a feeling I put the tappet plate back on with the nozzle wrong, and that's causing the misfeeding. Is this assumption correct, and how do you correctly put the tappet plate and nozzle back together?

Asked By: tkot in Repair Questions - 365 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

As ASgeek says ensure tappet plate is properly fitted between the control ridges on the nozzle, low pressure can also be due to poor sealing - nozzle greasing or O-rings? plus a sector clip on the sector gear will help with feeding if not already fitted.

and is it lipo ready??

Asked By: silkrano in AEG Questions - 370 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

VFC have good internals on a par with KWA. Lipo ready is not a single issue. ALL guns are 7.4 volt lipo ready. The usual problem with 11.1 volt Lipo use is that the gearboxes are not prepared properly for the high rate of fire. Needing decent shimming, sector clips, bearings not bushings etc. To run a high ROF you need highly modified pistons - tooth removal, piston buffers , and a Mosfet to limit contact burn. I run most of my guns on 7.4v lipo as they are cheap and reliable. My one project gun on 11.1 needs much more maintenance - and is a KWA base.

FPS is dependant on the spring strength and air path efficiency - good sealing and good hop up. RPS is dependant on battery voltage, current capability, and gearbox efficiency also gun wiring resistance and motor capability. Increase can be had by using a higher voltage/current battery, replacing wiring harness with lower resistance one, changing connectors to deans, reshimming the gears, relubing gears and piston, and fitting a Mosfet.

I know I already asked if the matrix PDW could take a 11.1v lipo and "toad" said no. So new question can the matrix PDW take a 7.4v lipo?

Asked By: IASpecOpsAirsoft in Battery/Charger Questions - 386 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Pretty much any gun is 7.4v lipo ready. Lipo is not some voodoo hex it is just a different battery chemistry with benefits and drawbacks as others. Benefits are a good short term current draw capability, drawbacks include a need for voltage management on charging and discharge. Charging requires a good balance charger, and discharge needs a voltage alarm monitor to prevent over discharge.

bellshooter's Answer

The raptorairsoft blog is pretty good except that BUSHING size matters little as the wearing part is the same size and the minimal increase in volume has only a small affect on heat tolerance. For BEARINGS the size is important - the bigger the better as it increases the ball bearing load capacity, and hence higher spring forces. KWA use all 9mm for this reason to increase reliability. Get rid of plastic bearings as contamination with gear grease can cause premature failure.

I'm putting together a SCARFACE M16, and I need a very reliable 40mm grenade shell. Most of the ones my friends have bought started leaking after a year of service, and I can't let that happen. I need a long-lasting, big capacity shell. It also needs the power to launch rockets, all of the MilSim in my area has vehicles and I want to be able to destroy them with an "RPG." The real question: Who is the best manufacturer when it comes to grenade shells? (MadBull, Matrix, etc.)

The best option is the S-Thunder long grenade - it has replaceable internals which are available for future maintenance and CO2 internals are available which provides much higher power. http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_514&products_id=32596 http://www.s-thunder.com/en/

I have a JG M733 Commando, I've had it for about a year and a half now. For testing battery life, I hold down the trigger on full-auto, will this drain the battery in about 3 minutes? Cause that's the result I'm getting. Then I go plug it into the smart charger CX innovation and it charges in seconds. Then it is fine again. How long to LiPo batteries generally last when you are holding down the trigger on full auto.

Asked By: BasterdAirsoft in Battery/Charger Questions - 392 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Lipo batteries can last many years depending on the depth of discharge and number of cycles. You dont say what size battery but I would expect a much longer life. NO battery can be fully charged in seconds except a Hyper capacitor. If you are charging quickly and losing charge quickly it is likely that one cell is out of balance and may be a failed cell. Use a meter on the balancing plug to check voltage. These can be bought from any R/C model shop - Hobbyking or similar. I would also recommend an alarm in use as well - I bought mine from Dealextreme Hong Kong for peanuts.. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/digital-multi-cell-lithium-battery-voltage-led-display-for-r-c-models-10787 http://www.dealextreme.com/p/11-1v-battery-alarm-buzzer-for-rc-helicopter-35609

LiPo batteries have 2 leads and connector plugs. One is the power plug the other is the balancing plug, The power plug can be either a small or large Tamiya type (white) or a Deans (red) . Most airsoft guns come fitted with a tamiya plug size depends on battery size. Converters are available from most radio controlled model stores, or online. The very small white plug on a Lipo is to balance charge the battery from a Lipo charger. try HobbyKing or HobbyPartz

Asked By: STARTairsoftTEAM in AEG Questions - 413 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Batteries free with low end guns are not good but should last more than a few shots. Mine did. Battery chargers with guns are also pretty bad so can not be relied on to charge properly. Either your battery has been damaged by the charger or has not been charged properly. If the gun shoots at all it is likely to be battery rather than wiring. I suggest: Get a smart charger and charge the battery properly, you will need the charger anyway. try the gun with that or someone elses battery.

Asked By: cowboysfail in Battery/Charger Questions - 415 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Having reread your question there is a power plug and a balancing plug. The power plug can be of several types . Small Tamiya , Large Tamiya, Deans, or XT60. Guns usually come with Tamiyas but Deans and XT60 are lower resistance and often fitted as an upgrade. The balancing plug is used to check on all the cells when charging and shooting to ensure they all stay within correct voltage and prevent damage. You need a special charger for this, either trickle or fast and a plug in low voltage alarm. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8247 http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11060 http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6589

Asked By: radicalpancakes in Internal Parts & Upgrades - 415 days ago

bellshooter's Answer

Bearings are fine at these stress levels - it is only for extreme upgrades say 150 plus that there may be a question about smaller bearings. For bushings the size is pretty unimportant as the bearing surface is the inside face interface with the gear axle, which does not change with bigger bushings. For bearings the bigger the better as the bearing surface does increase with size.
