Seems like pretty severe case of premature engagement. Who chose the parts? Why aren't the second and the third tooth shortened?

>>867307

Ya dun goofed.
Another piston won't solve the problem. You need to get a stronger spring as well and then maybe shortstroke the gears a little. You also need to adjust the piston angle of engagement. Otherwise even the full steel rack will crack eventually.
>>867316
I have the motor from a previous build, it kept breaking spur gears so I went and got the 16:1 set and piston hoping they wouldn't explode

this is a gr8 example of why it's hard to want to give advice to you shits anymore. with critical thinking skills that bad I can't imagine you dress yourself in the morning. nonetheless:
-throw that speed motor in the trash. speed motor wind-up makes semi auto response fucking horrible, and high RoF is more easily achieved via a torque motor/speed gears. get a SHS or ZCI high torque motor.
-get a decent piston with all steel teeth (that isn't polycarb) including the pickup tooth. SHS makes a fine one. Don't use an aluminum piston head, either, in case you were.
-get 13:1 or 12:1 gears if you want decent RoF and trigger response, 16:1's make very little difference from 18:1's. must use a torque motor with them. SHS makes fine 13:1s. Keep the 16:1s in if you don't care and they aren't damaged though.
If you are hitting PME you either have a beefy 11.1/babby spring/fast motor or a combo of all of them. You may have to short stroke your sector gear by a couple teeth and drop in a heavier spring in order to stop it. I have no idea what your specs are beyond what you've posted so I can't really tell you if that's a definite issue or not.
Spend some time learning to actually work on your gun in general. Never, ever, EVER pay people money to do what a 10 year old is perfectly capable of doing correctly. Airshit "techs" are easily 95% retards who have no idea what they're doing or are obliged to shill awful products to unaware scrubs.
Condor gear good for a starter?
Looking to pick up one of there more lightweight chest harnesses and slapping some mag pouches on front.
>>867326
What gears have you been using previously? It's not really normal for several spur gears to break unless you've been buying shitgears or you're doing something wrong. You should try to eliminate any play that the gears or bearings might have. Check your shmming and glue the bearings down. If the holes for bearings have turned into ovals, you might have to get a new gearbox.
High speed motor aren't very desirable as they aren't very energy efficient, lack torque and and heat up fast. This means that you won't have crisp semi and the full auto will sound like an RC-car. Higher current and heatup also mean that without mosfet there will be more arching in your trigger contacts, motor brushes will wear down faster and if with a mosfet, excessive heat can kill it.
Most 16:1 gearsets have true ratio of 17.2:1. Compared to the original ratio, they are only about 7% faster.
>>867421
Condors got great pouches and accessories.
Never had one of their vests, but I know Evike makes some good microbatch vests.
>>867411
Hold your horses, quickshot.
I am not paying anyone to do my shit (most of the time). I have spare gearboxes to work on and try configurations.
Definitely not throwing a SHS High Speed motor in the trash just because you say so. I wanted to build around the HS motor, not the other way around, so after breaking the stock gear set, I put another old spur which broke in the first 100 shots.
After that I went and got the SHS 16:1 (which are good quality, even if you say shit about them) and the clerk recommended swapping the piston too -which I already regret buying as it wasn't the full metal teeth version-.
Main objective is getting a crisp and fast semi on <350FPS with 7.4v LiPo
Are MOSFETs worth it?
After much tinkering I have my AEG well shimmed and surprisingly accurate, running an SHS hi-torque with a 7.4v lipo.
The trigger response is good but I know that it would be even snappier with an 11.1v, which I believe requires a MOSFET (reduces arcing on trigger contacts?).
Is it an addition that will make a noticeable difference to the performance of the gun?
>>867458
Just by switching to 11.1v you'll already notice, but installing a MOSFET is totally recommended.
>>867442
Alright, thanks.
Was cruising evike all last night trying to find some decent starter gear.
Silly question, but do people even bother with black gear or does everyone run tan/od green/multi?
>>867471
Some people run black but most run earthtones
>>867421
I'd stay away from Condor gear if it's anything larger than a pouch. Their stitching is poor quality and it's common for their PALS webbing to be crooked, rendering it useless.
So how long until cali airsoft guns look like this but with bright colors?
>>867512
So is this one of the props for Episode 8?
>>867443
>Main objective is getting a crisp and fast semi
Well you're doing it wrong. High speed motors have high maximum RPM, but it takes longer for them to accelerate to that RPM. High torque motors don't have as high maximum RPMs, but accelerate a lot faster. In short: Torque means better semi. Speed means higher RoF. Then again, most manufacturers have this shit all mixed up.
If you have lots of spare parts, you can try swapping the armatures from stock motors to your SHS motor. The stock motors generally have shitty ferrite magnets, which don't generate much torque so they have to compensate with slower armatures that do. Not every armature fits every can, so yet again, you may need to reduce the play that the armature may have. The armature has to spin freely as close to the magnets as possible and it should have minimal up-down wobble.
If you really wanted to get a crisp semi with relaitvely little money, you'd try to get a hold of 32TPA armature, 12:1 gear set and 14,8v LiPo.
>>867458
11.1v LiPo will definitely make a difference in performance. It wont fry your contacts or bust your gearbox in a single skirmish, but I'd recommend to buy mosfet and a variety of other mods before you start playing with 11.1v. Mosfet alone won't do much.
>>867523
>variety of other mods

>Piston with all metal teeth and the second and the third tooth shaved down
>Piston angle of engagement correction with sorbo

Stuff that may be necessary
>Gearbox radiusing if V2.
>Stronger spring if PME
>Short stroking if PME
>Gluing down the bearings
>Motor alignment if V2
>New gear set
>>867561
The Blue Force Gear ten-speed chest rigs are very minimalist. And while pricey, the HSP D3CR is a great little chest rig that has a very useful setup. If you want to arrange your pouches however you want then the Tactical Tailor Mini MAV is a good rig. Tons of manufacturers make relatively small rigs with just PALS webbing on them so you can set it up with whatever pouches you like.
Most brands people are recommending you go with are Chinese manufacturers that make lower quality knockoffs of popular designs by Eagle Industries and LBT, though if you're okay with that then they will be cheaper.
>>867421

>>867326
As a tech in the largest arena in my state of 3 years i can say with confidence that you are absolutely retarded.
>>867316
High speed motor doesn't mean crap, its more important to know the TPA of the motor.
>>868184
Yes, I know that the manufacturers haven't decided what's high speed and what's high torque which is why you'll have 16TPA armatures with both labels. It's still quite likely for a high speed motor to have a low TPA armature than it is for a high torque motor.
Anon with the problem has an SHS HS motor which has a 12TPA armature inside. It pretty much only works with original ratio gears because otherwise it's certain to hit PME. It also heats up quite bit when used excessively in a short period of time. A friend of mine burnt the mosfet from my AK that had said motor when he was emptying mags at the end of the day. The AK had stock XYT gears, M130 spring and the shimming was spot on.

>>870295
I'd recommend you check out our guides in the OP first before you make a purchase
Also don't skimp on eye pro
>>870283
Actual pellet rifles that fire .17 caliber lead "diabolo" projectiles through a rifled bore are not considered toys and thus actually go on /k/.
Airsoft ends up being this inbetween of a toy and paintball. Ultimately, it goes on here, because it doesn't go on /k/ or /toy/
>>870295
Remember, you only get one set of eyes M80.
>>870312
That's not going to give you much range and the ammo is expensive. Also many fields don't recognize Nerf as a viable option.
I'd recommend a Cyma

pick a solid color for the furniture (you would be surprised how useful that actually is),
stop thinking you need to add more crap to a perfectly decent platform (simple is better)
start looking for your next gun because it's time to look for a new role in your squad.
if you lack a squad, go find one.
none of this was meant in a malicious fashion btw. the guns fine the way it is, and you'll find more enjoyment with a basic setup anyways.
>>870367
I don't have any need for more guns, this is my last, as I already have 3 AK, MP5, M4 and some carabine & handguns.
>>868656

>>870208
If it's on private property that is away/closed off from people's view it should be fine. So pretty much every airsoft or paintball field in existence.
>>869268
Nice! Can you tell me how you make these?
>>870377
Sell one of the AKs and get a nice M16 or an SVD for the DMR role. Alternatively grab an RPK or an LMG. As you probably know snipers have to be upgraded a lot to be worth using as your go to.
>>870538
That or get a general purpose machine gun for range accuracy and firepower,like a PKM
>>870740
The PKM box mag is notorious for being finicky and generally bad.
>>870780
Works just fine for me
The real issue is the trigger contact, which can get sticky
Is the SB Commiefornia law going to require the things painted?
>>870740
Alternatively upgrade one of the AKs as a DMR. You'd have V3 compatability, cheap and plentiful mags, and SVD tier range.

But yeah Speed motors have no place anymore. Back in the days when Ni-Cads ruled the earth and Nimh were new they were worth it, but now not so much.
As far as fitment on AKs yeah 3S can be tough to fit, but its worth it.
Finally got my carbine yesterday. At this point I could either make it into an XM177E2 or an early Model 733 since it's entirely dependent on the muzzel device and both are kosher for a Gulf War kit.

Teched one for a friend.
Externally, has the shittiest metal body I think I've ever seen. Fire selector would grind against the receiver, and metal dust would come out. The pistol grip is as uncomfortable as it looks.
Internals are your average chinese quality shit, if not a bit worse.
I wouldn't recommend it to be honest.
>>867250
I thought that was supposed to be a wood furniture or bakelite AR until I took a closer look. I'm doing a real-steel AR build, maybe I'll do an orange stock, grip, and foregrip just for laughs.
>>872000
I had a chance to hold a G&G LR300 and I liked the grip.
I can agree on the quality of A&K ARs though. My friend got one of their M4s and the whole front end was slightly bent and the internals were garbage.
I would only get an A&K LR300 because of STALKER, and because the G&Gs are impossible to find now.
So I just fieldstripped my new Beretta and gave it some spurts of Ballistol and a gentle wipedown, and WOW; the travel of the slide, the hammer, and especially the trigger became noticeably smoother (COMPLETELY eliminated any grit), the safety is less stiff too. I love this stuff (aside from the smell I guess)

Never use gun oil on anything but metal on metal, since the solvents can dry out and break down things like rubber and plastic. Use pure silicone oil when it comes to things like hopups, nozzles, gbb magazines, and rubber seals.

I didn't know that, thanks. Wiped off the nozzle and magazines, then gave them a spray from an old silicone spray I had.
>>872035
One time won't fuck anything up, but it's a good idea to not use it in regular gun cleaning.

One of the main concerns when dropping cash on things like this is if they're worth: for me, they are.

Your hammer could be sticking, something is hanging up in the trigger mechanism, the cold weather is causing a phenomenon called"cool-down" in which the rapidly cooling gases inside the magazine decrease the pressure and thus doesn't create enough energy to fully cycle the bolt., or the mags might just be shit because WE Tec.

Like I said, replace the rubber seal on the top........

I've got one, well now I have the externals only as I kinda used them elsewhere.
It's like as fuck I would recommend it, I don't know about the A&K tho

Any one have experience with the CO2 Nagant revolver? I'm thinking of buying one.
>Inb4 revolver ammo quantity

Not really skirmishable OOTB, but it looks cool.
>>872474
Revolvers are fun
It's almost exclusively a heavy novelty backup or range toy though
>guy selling his AEG
>custom paintjob
>>872667
Well, if he's selling his supr-oper8or MK18, I'd actually prefer if it was painted.
>>872667
It really depends on the paint job. If it's a light dusting of tan paint or something that actually looks good than sure, but if it's some shitty hydro dip with skulls or some shit then they can fuck off.
>>872013
Will do.
>>872681
Any thoughts on the A&K M249? Thinking of picking up the Open box deal.
Where the hell can I get an MP5k motor grip from?
>>872920
Considering that A&K and G&P are more or less the only manufacturers that still make the SAW, and the G&Ps normally goes for over $400 and are only available overseas, I'd say get it.
Just be ready to replace the shit internals.
>>872474
The Nagant revolver is infamous for it's heavy trigger, consider if they'll try to replicate this.
It's also very clumsy to reload.
I wouldn't suggest one outside of collecting.
>>872474
If you're really keen on skirmishing with one, the Nagant revolver can be modded to have a fixed hop - have a search on Google, some guy on a forum put up instructions on how to go about it. The same can be done to a Webley replica, too.
Can some one help me out? I recently got a 7 year old Tokyo Marui p90 that's hardly been in use, (two game days and a 24 hour milsim so I've been told), and it's range is abysmal as well as the fact that it has no semi auto mode.
help a brother out!
>>873144
Sounds like the hop up and trigger need to be replaced
>>873188
nice doubles, also I'll try fucking with the hop up...
>>873197
it's drop is just awful
>>873144
You need a new hop up bucking and a cut-off lever. A new nozzle and an O-ring for piston head might also help.
>>873641
how much would all this cost?
>>873063
No, as in, the Nagant 1895 is an INCREDIBLY clunky design as far as revolvers go, the Single Action Army predates it and is a better weapon in every way that matters.
>trigger weighs in at something like 27lbs
>reloading is like a quadrapledic Colt
>you have to unhook the cylinder pin, then use it as an ejector-rod (no spring assist or anything)
There are much more practical revolvers available, that use CO2 (though typically most are inherently inaccurate and too powerful for skirmishing without special skirmish cartridges), unless you're collecting or re-enacting, consider other revolvers.
People like to say that it's low powered (as the only available commercial ammunition today are lukewarm target loads ), but actual Imperial and Soviet Russian military loadings clock in somewhere around the realms of a .32H&R Magnum, not a beast or anything, but actually pretty decent for a service revolver at the time (when similarly sized revolvers at the time were closer to .32ACP in terms of performance).
The only thing that really stands out about it is that the cylinder locks forward before the hammer drops, couple that with the extended brass hull poking into the barrel, and this creates a seal, meaning all the gas is used to project the bullet, rather than a considerable amount of it escaping around the forcing-cone (as it does near all revolvers). Besides making the most of the powder load, this also means that you can effectively put a silencer on the revolver, and make it rather quiet, this wasn't the original idea, but the Soviets figured this out and employed them with silencers for wetwork in the early parts of the 20th century.
>>873975
The Nagant just fucking werks though
>>873683
I'd bargain around $30 or so.
>>874102
Oh yeah, sure, at the turn of the century it cut the mustard, it wasn't fantastic, but it was probably cheap and provided you with a handgun that you could shoot a couple of times.
It's a lot like the German Reich revolver, horribly obsolete and clunky by the time it was adopted, just about as uncomfortable to reload, and eventually replaced with an amazing automatic pistol, the Germans went from the Reich revolver to the Luger, the first practical automatic pistol in history, and the Russians went from the Nagant to the Tokarev, an overall very adequate automatic.
Interesting how the Germans and Russians had a similar transition like that.
>>874379
Everyone had that transition
IIRC the colt navy or whatever it was gave way to the 1911
>>874393
>Colt Navy
Hold on, the Navy stuck to a cap n ball piece while the Army was fielding a proper cartridge weapon, all the way until the advent of the 1911 pistol?
>>874413
It was the Navy and the M1892 for the most part
Yeah, the colt navy was in service for about 50 years.
>>874428
Almost forgot though that the Navys were retrofitted to fire .38 cartridges and there were other colts also in circulation using .38. Needless to say the US military used a lot of Colt designs before the 1911 came along.
>>874413
The Air Force was using M16A1s and GAU-5s/XM177s until the mid 2000s; hell they still might have them in armories. They're also using an obsolete (albeit cool looking) gas mask along with the Navy.
Neither have land based infantry so they never really needed the cutting edge, or aren't given the funding since land based branches like the Army and Marines. This applies to the Navy using percussion cap revolvers in a time of rimfire.
>>874455
Nasty girls IIRC have old A2s and the like as standard issue in many places. Generally speaking only the Army and sometimes marines have the cutting edge service weapons.
>>874474
>>874455
Well I know that they still have lots of old ARs lying about and still being used, but the M16 is the M16 (the M16A4 is really just an M16A2 with an adjustable stock, RIS, and railed upper), if you rebarrel an M16A1 and use modern ammo and magazines, it will perform like an M16A4. The Colt Navy and the M1911 are quite a number of steps apart.
The M16A2 rifles remain in use because they still do what the M16 is supposed to do (though some are probably pretty worn), even though they might not be issued to frontline troops much.
>>874453
Oh shit, I forgot totally about the cartridge conversions, yeah, that would have made sense, I mean, a lot of the .45-70 trapdoor guns were converted from caplock muskets, you'd get the same end result with a cost saving.
>>874580
Essentially the transition from revolver to automatic pistol is going to be the same from automatics to energy weapons. It's highly drastic because revolvers rely on a rather different system than automatics. We're essentially in the 1860's or so if you want to compare automatics to energy weapons.
>>874609
I don't think we'll see energy weapons as infantry weapons any time soon.
The closest might be some kind of railgun with a battery pack and separate projectiles, but that'd be a static or a vehicle emplacement at most. And even then you gotta question if it's even a practical weapon compared to existing cannons and machineguns.
We'll probably stick to cartridge firearms for hundreds more years, simply because it works so reliably and cheaply.
What we might see is a revolution in terms of materials or actions, or maybe cartridge types (telescoping ammunition for instance). I'd say we're at some manner of plateau in terms of firearms development, what we're focusing on these days is making existing ideas in a better way (better materials, better manufacturing techniques, etc), and for now this works.
>>874957
Rail guns are more of a pipe dream honestly
I think we'll see energy directed vehicle mounted and anti-vehicle weapons. We have the tech so once we find something that has high voltage and high capacity we can make energy weapons practical.
>>873975
>special skirmish cartridges
Pls tell me more...
Guys
I've been out of airsoft for probably over a year now, and want to get back in. I haven't touched my funs or oiled them in the meantime, are they fucked?
>>875626
I've left a TM pistol gassed up for over a year, it was fine.
The only way to find out is by shooting them, in any the worst that can happen is some dried out o-rings.
>>875569
They have a smaller hole in them, so don't shoot as hot.
>>875671
Where do i buy these?
>>875857
Pretty sure Evike sells them
rate my fridge
Finally got what I wanted. Shit, this thing was really hard to find. Still, I'm pretty happy. It's heavy, it's sturdy, except for the stock pin. I jury-rigged it with a matching nut and some electrical tape, until I find a replacement.
>>876178
lol friend of mine had the exact same problem, stock pin crapped out first game
also w2c sweater?
>>876184
Yeah, the nut got bent already. It took, like, 2-3 times
The sweater? Dunno, got it as a New Year gift.
>>876192
>2-3 turns of the stock, I mean
Sup /asg/, half of my police loadout has arrived so I thought I'd show. It's not complete yet so don't judge too harshly.
Still to come:
Glock 17
Chunky Patrol helmet
More pouches
Patch for the front and full width patch for the back.
Full goggles
Balaclava that extends down the neck.
Just standing around in it in my house I was sweating up a storm, the dark navy ripstop shirt and trousers I got really aren't that breathable.
Anyone use a battlebelt rig, or battlebelt + carrier?
I run an AK with a plate carrier right now but the only place I can mount the pouches I have (2x double) are on the sides under my arms and it restricts my movements. Would AK mags be too large to fit on a belt?
>>876210
Let us know when you get the rest in.
Also you need kneepads and a radio w/ an earpiece
>>876212
>Would AK mags be too large to fit on a belt
>what is a smersh
>>876213
Kneepads are there. Sort of hard to see because its dark navy on black. I've got an old style Motorola radio (Think the ones they use at events, the ones that can be used as melee weapons) thats going to go on a pouch on my shoulder when they get them back in stock.
>>876212
Taco pouches fit AK mags just fine, you can carry AK mags on them, both on yout PC and belt
