Why are people complaining this gearbox isn't reinforced? It's a V2, it doesn't need to be built like brick at the rear, it just needs to be strong at the front. Ok so the window isn't filed like a CA for example, but it wouldn't be a huge effort to file it. The VFC piston isn't too bad at all, I've read about people running them on 12 volts, and vfc removed the 2nd tooth in the mold which is clever. I don't understand why people get excited over the piston head. Yes it's aluminium, that's hardly a great thing, alu head just transfer more energy to the shell reducing its life. VFC ha

Piston head looks damaged too. Raptor, if possible could you find out what kind of hopup rubber is in there and also whether it needs an M14 barrel like the TM, or will any barrel fit? (TM barrel has the c-clip cuts further up) Cheers mate, great review Ice ps, keep us posted on any modifications and upgrades you perform.

The standard ratio gear set are a huge bonus over the V7 spur in the TM gearbox, but it makes you wonder whether they enlarged the body a little to fit the deaper gearbox. Raptor mate, on Cheapos airsoft you posted this review with gearbox pics, can we have them on here? Here's another decent review with internal shots. Ice

When will KSC and TM learn to put metal mag catches on their Glocks, I know the real steal doesn't have one, but when the plastic one wears down it always leaves a gap between the rubber outlet and the engine inlet. Ice

Nope, because Systema and subsequently all other spring manufactures calculate their springs using .25bbs, not .2s. So with a .25s you should get 328fps from a 100, however with a .2, which is the most common round you end up getting about 350, in most cases more. If you only get 328ish from a 100 it means you're losing air pressure. Ice

This question would have been more suited to the technical section, this thread predates god, and hasn't had a post for a millennium. 1 - It uses a V3 gearbox, however it's not any kind of Royal. 2 - Yes it can handle an M120 and nothing else, however this will give you 400+fps, rather than the 350 you want. 3 - Yes a Prometheus tightbore will give you more accuracy, even at low FPS. To get to the fps you want get an M100, not a 120. Ice
