  1. I'm sorry to hear that, man, which motor did you get? the high torque or the super high torque? I believe there are two versions of them, did you use a 11.1v lipo?

     

    This guy makes a nice comparison between motors

     

     

    Just high torque as that's all available at the time. Tested with 7.4v and 11.1v, wasn't a battery thing. Motor would be fine with an M90 spring but that's it probably.

  2. If anyone cares, I splurged on the ARES AK motor and it can hardly pull an M110...it's like an lpeg and it frequently locks up, requiring the armature to be hand cycled once or twice.

     

    Weak magnets, bad coiling/whatever, and motor height adjustment has 6 settings rather than just a screw.

  3.  

    Is that the Stormwerkz on the AKS-74UN? If so, nice, that's the only one I've seen other than mine!

     

    Thank you for the name! Found it in a friend's store's spare parts pile and we've been puzzled over where it came from.

     

    It's a fantastic sight rail, I much prefer it to the Zenitco B-18.

    What?! I have been looking everywhere for one? I cant find any online.

    How is it? Looks like its alot better than the Cyma 870 external.

     

     

     

    It's awesome so far :)

     

    Ehobby had them but are currently sold out :(

  5. Hi!

     

    I impulse bought the new fancy schmancy Marui M40A5.

     

    It's pretty cool! Still ABS with aluminum parts, but the flash hider and front rail feels CNC'd I guess? They have that sort-of-sticky matte feel. Hard to describe.

     

    The bolt is ridiculously easy to work. Easier than the Marui L96 or VSR-10, and the short pull makes it extremely fast. Trigger is crisp as ever.

     

    Hop up adjustment is smooth without clicks, so no worries there.

     

    I'll the pictures do the talking!

     

     

    EDIT: Uploading photos here suuuuuuuuuucks still ;P

     

    So here's a link:

  6. WE AKs vs GHK AKs? wow, that's a pretty wide question..Let's try to sort it briefly:

     

    External materials:

    WE: Steel receiver, top cover, triangle stock (74U) and barrel (74u only), muzzle device. Most small parts (gas block, front sight, etc) are zinc alloy.

    GHK: Everything is steel except the outer barrel. 

     

    Internal materials: 

    WE: Pretty much everything is zinc alloy. Fire control group will need replacement to steel CNC ones at some point no matter what you try to do. 

    GHK: Steel hammer and trigger... but zinc alloy sears and firing pin. Weird mix. Zinc parts will eventually need to be replace by steel too. 

     

    Operation:

    WE: complete bolt travel, correct "click" on empty, can be set to dry fire

    GHK: bolt is heavily short stroked, you get only a dead trigger when out of ammo (no AK"click") 

     

    Cooldown: 

    WE: If you try long burst of full auto the RoF will be sluggish, but the bbs will go where they are supposed to. 

    GHK: Can mag dump all day without noticeable loss of RoF, but the bbs quickly start dropping short.

     

    Ammo capacity:

    WE: 30 rounds

    GHK: 40 rounds

     

    Recoil: 

    WE: Hard kicker. Probably one of the strongest of all of airsoft guns

    GHK: Not as much but quite hard still

     

    Hop up assembly:

    WE: VSR compatible, great accuracy and range out of the box, easy and cheap to upgrade with Maple Leaf products to achieve pretty much sniper range and accuracy. 

    GHK: AEG style, horrendous performance. Might achieve decent range with the new TNT APS-X hop and inner combo (110+ USD)

     

    Long story short, GHKs looks better and have better externals, WEs perform way better and provide much more satisfying operation.

     

     

    Yay some reasonable discussion on this topic....I really hate it how if I make the argument anywhere I just get a "GHK masterrace" or "lolWE".

     

    I do want to defend the WE externals though, the stamped steel is very nice, and real spec unlike the LCT bodies of GHK.

     

    Furthermore, installing a LFS disk or asia nozzle helps the WE cooldown so much.

  7. Well, I don't have a video, because I'm still trying to make it work good. It currently only "works".

     

    It's going to take a lot more time and tuning to have it work at a skirmishable level. Right now it jams quite often and the blowback is a bit unreliable. It does fling BBs though one after the other until it inevitably hits a hiccup.

     

    I do have a picture of the internals though.

    Hot damn.

     

    Would you do another?
