    The KWA sometimes did that too. Something related to the design of the MP7?

    So the gas seal is pinned, and the plastic bumper thing is held in by the valve? The M9 mags are pinned, as are the short (Detonics) 1911 mags.

    Wait so the mag is pinned but the fill valve holds...what? in? Sounds like they're well designed though, with my KWA mags the valves and screws were never very tight and they always held gas perfectly. Pinned is better for TM guns because they use soft alloy and eventually the threads will go...every time you disassemble one a fine metal powder falls out of the mag as the thread crumbles...a friend had a 226 mag explode on him after one too many disassembles, the bottom bit took a chunk out of his ceiling (my plan with my own Sig mags is never to open them). Pins are a bit of a pain bu

    The Deagle could do with some strengthening, the slide catch on mine stopped working shortly before the slide itself cracked. With TM's crappy metal, pinned mags are better.

    Nice! I know you're holding it kind of cack handed but the kick seems good! Some venting but it keeps going. I see what you mean about the recoil spring, the return from locked open is a bit lethargic. Is the hop rubber proprietary then? Kind of makes me want an MP7 again...

    Why not share with the group? That's what this thread is for after all!
  9. Stuey
    Good for you. Wrong thread?
  10. Stuey
    I think we all need that.
  11. Stuey
    Damn son. Now I want one again. Nice work!
  12. Stuey
    Very nice man. Looks like chopping down the barrel is a common choice? Reeeeally want one of these.

    Gah! Where's that diagram showing why WA GBBs can fire upside down? I know I was reading it recently :<

      It was in a thread on here somewhere, but that is the pic I was after yeah. Thanks!

      Of course there are tradeoffs. I can get lots more mags per charge without the NLS than with it.

      Oh I bet - it's still clever though, way simpler than I thought. Just a careful limitation on how much gas is allowed in.

    I was about to mention that but looks like you got it Damn, I need this for my Sig! Only problem then is holsters...

    I'm almost certain 3v1l-d4n mentioned that you could prevent the WE AK trigger box from breaking by just filing something, I forget the details though.

    Haha, good initiative. Works with propane? Still clips into the stock?

    Not sure what you mean by this, and I've never handled or disassembled a TM MP7, but the G5's bolt/nozzle assembly works the same as every other GBB in that the nozzle is able to slide in and out of the bolt, and does so during cycling. The nozzle stays seated in the hop rubber momentarily when the bolt starts to recoil (so that the gas can keep flowing from the mag), and is pulled back into the bolt by the return spring just before the bolt goes all the way back. It's just a particularly well-designed gas system that performs really well. Not sure if that's what you meant?

    If you just connect a propane bottle to an empty container the pressure will equalise and the flow will stop before the container is 80% full. If you do refill those Coleman tanks from a big propane bottle the flow stops when they're half or less full - if you want to fill them to the same level as when they were new, you have to chill them or manually open the blowoff valve to lower the pressure in the Coleman tank to allow more liquid propane to enter. As such, you can't fill an airsoft mag completely just by gassing it normally - which is a good job, that would be dangerous (as you said). Y

    144a can't exist as a chemical, so as Rob says it's just a name Abbey have given to whatever they're selling instead of 134a now.
  20. Stuey
    Yeah it fits, very snug, almost like it was designed for it...

    Thank you, this is what I was talking about with regard to safety margins. Very sloppy unsafe design. We can only hope Marui improve the design, or an aftermarket company jumps in to fill the gap. Shame, as the rest of the gun (bar the hop thing) seems really solid.
  23. Stuey
    Propane is so cheap, probably yes. And I know we're not just talking about the M870 but it, being NBB, shouldn't need any upgrades for propane (the exploding tanks notwithstanding). And the TM 1911, Hi-capa, 226, M9, Deagle and plenty of others are very accommodating of propane completely stock. No metal slide required (they just reduce performance).
  24. Stuey
    Although designing and speccing a gun for a certain pressure is fine, load bearing parts, especially ones containing pressurised gas (which is pretty dangerous), should have a good margin of safety. Ideally at least a factor of two. It's not really safe if pressures just slightly above the design pressure cause the tank to physically deform. What about 134 on a really hot day? Or kept in a car in direct sunlight? That's not a safe design. 134/144 are super expensive, especially if you use your gas guns regularly. The main reason I use propane is because it's the only gas I can afford

    Milled? I seriously doubt anything on a WE gun is milled...
