  1. WE XDM

    in Pistols (Gas)

    Posted

    Never know, might find a TM or WE user that could do with the spare parts.

     

    As for back to TM, come inside, we have bacon and beer. Put your feet on the couch and load up the Green for a crack at a 30m target ;).

     

    'FireKnife'

     

    I do own a TM Glock you realise? :P

     

    The slide is so jammed onto the frame it's going to be messy getting it off.

    Well, mine has bitten the dust.

     

    Where the roller bearing sits on the hammer has worn away. This means that the roller bearing doesn't remain straight when the slide recoils back, so I get the slide stuck expelling all of the gas from the mag unless I quickly remove the magazine. Also the cocking indicator has come out of place and got stuck so the slide is completely jammed now.

     

    So I've had the gun for less than a year and it's not seen a great deal of use and these are the following issues:

     

    Worn hammer so the bearing moves and jams the slide.

    Broken Disassembly lever.

    Broken hop unit.

    Magazines have a tendency to leak from the release valves.

    Screw from the blowback unit comes loose and causes the slide to jam when firing.

    Cocking indicator comes out of place and jams the slide.

     

    Overall I'm happy that WE have improved certain things (like the guns actually working!), however the durability of their new stuff is still just bad! Back to TM for me!

    Well, the good experiences are suddenly going away. They emailed me back after the Chinese New Year saying a part is out of stock. So I email them back with what I want to do and it's now been 3 days since I got a reply. Not bad considering I also stated I wanted to try and get things sorted ASAP for a game that is coming up. :( No chance of it turning up now!

    I think that with the new hop it should hopefully give it a new lease on life. I have a couple of friends who's G&P WOC rifles have the inner barrels cut down to just above MP9 size and they are tack drivers. Once the MP9 gets the TM style hop, it should make it much more accurate for longer range engagements. Seems as I've spent a fair amount on my MP9 (as I'm sure everyone has!) I'm wanting to get as much use out of it as I can.

     

    Once the weather warms up a bit more, I'll be using it in woodland games and I'm sure it'll perform fine.

    A few of my friends have them and swear by them. Knowing my friend Chris, his Glock will see a lot of use.

     

    I think the XDM has got a lot of life left it in, I'm just hoping more bits don't fall off it! :P

    It still works as if the hop isn't broken lol. It's unfortunate that they made those parts out of crappy materials, but regardless it still works... providing it's warm enough! I've got some Guarder power up gas on order to see how well it copes with winter temps, that was the major downfall (until now) for the XDM IMO.

    So with the hop unit breaking, my disassembly level also broke. The front of it snapped off so now to disassemble my pistol I have to use a pair of pliers to rotate the lever.

     

    I think it's time to weather it, cover the grip in tape similar to this...

    Might as well make it look like it's meant to be broken. :P

    There might be some change from £1k on the setup and having some prototypes made (Although I wouldn't be suprised if there wasn't), looking at the design of them I suspect it'd be a faff to actually make them and far more hassle than it's worth, I'd guess you'd be looking at about £100 per disconnector if no more were made after the setup run.

     

    Ouch!

     

    I'm yet to receive my spare disconnectors from WGC so I've not got to the place yet. I'll at least see what they say on getting one made.

     

    I'm just trying to think what makes them break in my gun, every time I've stripped it for cleaning I've made sure everything is done properly and put back in correctly. Maybe I just have bad luck. I don't know. :(

  25. A+ Studio Hop Up Rubber

    in Tactical Equipment and Accessories

    Posted

    I just got one of these to replace my XDM's hop rubber. I also polished the inner barrel (the finish on the WE barrel was just shocking!) and added this to the gun, I can visually tell the BB is moving faster, however seems as I can only see up to about 25 - 30 meters in the dark I can't be positive of the accuracy or range. It does 'seem' to be more accurate, but I can't really tell for certain. I'll do some more range testing on Saturday where I can use the full length of my garden.
