  1. That's a shame...if anyone was going to make it it work it'd be RC! Ah well, what's the best steel kit? Someone mentioned Hephaestus?
  2. RedWolf just posted this on Facebook: Action CNC Aluminium 7075 Bolt Carrier for GHK G5 I'm worried by this quote from the product page: Is that true? I've heard exactly 0 reports of that happening. More replacement aftermarket options never hurts though, I'd definitely go with this over the RA-TECH steel one. It's pretty cheap, too (makes we wonder if it really is CNC machined 7075 aluminium...).
  3. Just a thought, are you going to reimburse him when it blows up and wrecks his gun?
  4. Got mine today, pretty good - very nicely made and bloody bright, but it doesn't fit on either my M9A1 or my P226! So know I have to decide whether to file the torch or the guns. Edit: False alarm, it comes with a bunch of other mounting options, I'll be able to modify one of them to fit.
  5. The recoil certainly looks fun!
  6. All sounds pretty good, but this: is a bit annoying, seeing as pistol cut barrels are generally pretty short, a VSR length one would be a better length for this but if it won't go in the hopup...
  7. Well well well. Cue excited frothing about a GBB SR25! Will be watching the progress of the 417 to see if VFC have learned from their mistakes.
  8. The bit of the rail you have to chop is the carbine kit yeah, so worst case you've ruined the kit rather than the G5 receiver. You could do it and have it look really neat.
  9. You can't put an EGLM on a G5 carbine without modifying either the launcher or the gun. It's kind of hard to explain, but the mounting section on the EGLM is raised at the front, which basically means you can't have a rail extending beyond the front of the EGLM. You can mount the EGLM at the very front of the G5, but then IIRC the built-in magwell blocks the G5 magwell (and it looks stupid). So if you want the EGLM in the right position, you have to either cut the bottom rail on the G5, or grind down part of the EGLM.
  10. Heh, yes the whole gun's a bit longer isn't it! You might get away with 200 actually in that case.
  11. The KWA is 160 mm, 200 might stick out a bit. Could always cut it down.
  12. I think they'll be fine, you need like 1/2 a turn for the full range of adjustment and on all of my KWA and TM mags the output valves have never been particularly tight and they're never an issue when it comes to sealing.
  13. Those purple ones aren't high flow valves as much as adjustable ones so you can change the power/recoil.
  14. Ooh nice, I always wondered if you could do something like that, allowing you to use durable steel FCG parts but a light pot metal bolt for better efficiency. Couple questions: does the steel part sitting slightly lower than the bottom of the bolt cause an problems? And what does the screw thread into?
  15. It may not be 'correct', but as you say it's empirical and correct based on what I've observed. I wasn't thinking of CO2 when I wrote that post either. No idea about CO2 really, seeing as we can't (or shouldn't anyway ha) charge normal mags with it.
  16. No idea about expansion ratios, or even if they're relevant, but empirically for a given gas reservoir the higher the pressure of the gas used, the fewer shots you get. Interestingly, unless I'm doing chemistry wrong, 144a can't exist. I say 'can't' because the the numbers are a naming system which describe various things about the structure of the molecule, and 144 is impossible. So who knows what's actually in it, I assume Abbey (they're the only ones selling it I think) called it 144 for familiarity's sake, like a logical/numerical progression from 134.
  17. How else are you meant to get the batteries in? If you look, that label is on the inside part of the mock suppressor to warn the user about the high voltage components used in the flash unit.
  18. Well the pin pops out when the hammer's cocked, so yes. Although being 'striker-fired' (but not in airsoft), the only way to cock it is by racking the slide so it wouldn't make much difference. The Maruzen GBB P99 also has a working one.
  19. I can pretty much hear you unzipping your pants ready to get your e peen out
  20. So you lost them?? Either way emailing Xcortech (sales@xcortech.com) might yield a copy of the instructions.
  21. Try this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-4KUmJQEwI It's pretty long, but he goes through all the features. So there's no instructions in the box?
  22. In a word, no. Certainly back when I was fiddling with my 1911 it made no difference, if it is there on my Sig it's barely noticeable.
  23. They're USPs aren't they?
