  1. Yeah peoples reactions to it are pretty priceless. They wary widely from "what the heck is that" to just "holy s##t that's beautiful". At 7,5kg without the magazine its significantly heavier than the m249 series guns and even heavier than the A&K PKM. The gun is very front heavy too so at the end of the game day my left arm was getting pretty tired of keeping the gun up.  :D

  2. Cutting down spring is always a definate no-no, it will cause unbalanced strain on the spring which will eventually cause it to bend or break. There is a reason why spring ends are filed FLAT. Just use the springs designed for the gun, in this case eagle6 springs.

     

     

    And what comes to the dry firing, the piston practically always slams forward before the BB exits the barrel, its tested & true, so in theory the strain is a little higher on the gearbox when dry fired.

  3. I had no choice, it was the only way to hide a battery of that size and shape properly. I dont like huge *albatross* battery pouches, and PEQ- boxes look ridiculous in that thing. ( I wouldn't have been able to fit the battery in those anyway) It looks cool IMO anyway. I like to make my guns look unique, in which I have succeeded in quite well.

  4. I actually hit quite a few ppl there. Though you cant hear them shout hit because of the crappy mic. I discovered right after making that video how to edit the audio file so that the quiet sounds can be heard and the loud noises go down slightly. Anyway, I'm using a Dualsky 14,8V 30C 2100mAh pack.. :)

  5. The most important thing is: It is YOUR point. Little bit selfish but if you like it in your tiny little selfish world....stay there :P
    There are quite a many other experienced techs who agrees with me. Its not just me and my "tiny little world".

     

    TM designed it that way for use in their specification. You even can´t blame Audi for broken motors when you decide using rocket fuel for higher speeds.

     

    Wait what I dont even...? Did you miss my point entirely? Thats exactly what I'm talking about. Only thinkin the japanese market and perfecting the system to work in THEIR limits, not thinking about other countries and their limits. I would understand it if they only released it in Japan. Thats why some manufacturers release different versions of their guns for different country markets. Now that car metaphore is just silly and doesnt work here.

     

    This discussion has gone too far already. You provoked me to answer in the way I did, if you cant face the facts and call me ignorant instead then ok, then this discussion is pointless and Im personally ending it now. :bye1:

  6. Where´s the logic using a gearbox above its limits?

    It wouldnt be above its limits if TM would bother not designing them that way! Youre missing my point there..:headbutt:

     

    Logic is listening to the guy whos used his these guns for 2 years with stronger than 1j springs at faster than normal rates of fire.. As apposed to saying you know zinc and it must break becuase you know zinc..

     

    Logic is to think logically based on scientific facts, instead of listening to just one or few persons experience and their point of view affected by their personal opinions of the subject. If I know the mechanical properties of the material, and see how its constructed its easy to create quite accurate predicion what kind of stress it can take. From the photos I can easily conclude that it's properties strenght wise are similar to a TM v2 and likely weaker. You cannot make me think otherwise unless you provide me clear scientific evidence which would prove me wrong, which you cant do.

     

    I dare you to buy one of these guns fit one of my 420 fps springs and break this gearbox... You wont becuase its easier to sit on the net criticising a picture and saying your right than actually proving it. Ive used it for 2 years, youve looked at a picture..

     

    Can you see my point ?

     

    The pictures already proves it, I dont need to prove anything. If I had a test run of this gearbox, the test result wouldnt mean anything, because simply I would have to test several hundred of them in order to create a realistic view of its durability. Only way to test it for sure is to run a realistic computer simulation with other gearbox versions as well and then compare the results.

     

    Can you see my point?

     

    Case closed. ^_^

  7. lol BUT ITS NOT HOW IT IS...

     

    Your just assuming... have you seen one break ?? no you havent, do you know why i know you havent becuase no one has.. if someone had i would know about it.

     

    No what your doing is trying to base some out dated v2 knowledge on these guns just beucase you looked at a picture, when the guys with 2 - 3 years experience working with these guns and gearboxs are telling you there are no gearbox casing problems in the long term.

     

    Its called logic. I like to use it in my daily life. I know fairly well the mechanical characteristics of cast zinc, and when its clearly visible in the pictures that the new gearbox has much less material surrounding the cylinder in the front area, simple conclusion is that thus it is weaker. There is no way around that. If you disagree, its OK to me, nothing personal but its against the laws of physics and makes absolutely no sense. :rolleyes:

     

    Fractured gearboxes are very common phenomenom in this region, because of colder weather and higher fps limits. Cold affects the yield strenght of cast zinc quite massively, and if a gearbox is designed for under 1J power and is ran at 400fps in cold weather, you probably understand why gearbox strenght is quite big deal for me. Thats why I critisize TM for not designing their aeg's to withstand higher power.

     

     

    edit. removed all pointless personal ######.

  8. Well I have seen 3 STOCK tokyo marui version 3 and few version 2's crack in the front with all stock parts and 8,4V battery. :rolleyes: And that was within the first year of use. The Scar and Sopmod gearboxes are even weaker in the front, its clear from the pictures just look how thin that bar on top of the cylinder is. There is no magical reinforcements there, fact is a fact.

     

    the design is not too far off from TM's G36K (somewhat a hybrid of that and the V2 Sopmod?) and the G36K has been out for more than a year...not heard of any cracked mechboxes yet (at 1J).

     

    I have to disagree with that.. The TM g36k gearbox design is very similar to a Ver3 gearbox in the front, thus much stroger.

     

    See it here.

     

    Im not meaning to be rude, but thats just how it is. It's not like its useless, in fact it will be just fine. Thats as long as proper shock buffer, sorbothane pad that is, is used in the cylinder head. Even a tm ver2 can take a m170 without issues with sorbothane if everything is working right.

  9. Looks like they made it Dboys / VFC kac pdw compatible! Those nubs in the side of the gearbox are for the kac pdw bolt catch, and the dents near the spurgears bearing's are for the selector switch gears. Awesome, now im not *****'d if my gearbox cracks! Those gears are 100% standard dboys gears btw.. Nothing special, my dboy's spurgear's shaft snapped off with a sp120 spring. I replaced the shaft with a TM one and it looks like new now.. :P

  10. Perhaps there was a bb or something in the wrong place and when the bolt blowed back it got lifted out of its tracks and got stuck or something. This happened with my KSC m11 and my lower receiver cracked becacuse of that...ohmy.gif

     

     

  11. Also got a chance to get one of those new 2010 Guarder 6.02mm TBB's. Will be testing it this weekend.

     

    If they havent changed the production method with more than just tightenin thebore, the barrel is going to suck. :P My guarder 6,04/407mm barrel gave horrible groupings.
