Wild_XIII Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Ok, I've just gone through another 6 mags worth of BB's and the shots are still pretty inconsistent. I don't know how affected the REAPS bucking is by oil but I'll give it a clean and see if I can improve the consistency. For the shots that were on target, they were going a mental distance. I'm all out of green gas now so won't be able to test and tweak until next week now. Watch this space! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_XIII Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 OK, I got to skirmish this yesterday and it was a blast! However, I did find that the REAPS bucking is pretty poo. Yesterday was incredibly humid, so humid that stuff in our safe zone bus was wet without even going outside! This caused me no end of grief with my hop on the MP9. My shots were all over the place and the hop was just not happy. Even after I dried it out and put a few more mags though it the hop just would not settle. Another thing I found with the REAPS bucking is that the contact area is SMALLER than the originally KWA bucking! So my personal recommendation is not to buy the REAPS bucking. On a positive note, the sound of a full auto burst kept a lot of heads down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_XIII Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 A not so clear comparison between the KWA and REAPS bucking. The REAPS is on the right and KWA on the left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 At least you tried it brother! I think as soon as we can get the new style hop up for these, it'll be incredibly easy to R Hop them, I might even have a go with my spare parts...... Ill get back to you on this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_XIII Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm certain that something just a bit wider than the ball bearing can be used. A small piece of wire might just work. I may try and do that when I take the hop apart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm not so sure, If it was any wider its going to pushed down harder on one side than the other. What we need is a nub with a small domed 'head' but large and flat on the bottom to spread the load across. Although saying that ,the R Hop seems to deform readily down its length, that is to say if you put a bit of ressure on one end ,it seems to spread the load very well. I'll do a bit of messing and see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_XIII Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 It is a sad day. I just put the KWA hop rubber back in and now the guns got its awesome range and accuracy back, however the disconnector decided to die so now she doesn't fire. Time to sail the seven seas of the interweb for a replacement which I hope can get here before 2 weeks time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 This thread should be locked and deleted so I don't get tempted into buying one of these, again ! Damn fine piece of GBB! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_XIII Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 A bunch of new stuff for my MP9. Why replace 1 bit when you can replace several. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 This thread should be locked and deleted so I don't get tempted into buying one of these, again ! Damn fine piece of GBB! Amen. The more I look at it.. the more I want one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Amen. The more I look at it.. the more I want one! Then decide: Get a KWA MP9 and enjoy it. Or Get a TM MP7 and enjoy it. There is no third option 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 New photos to follow but I've decided to go T1 aimpoint in tan and an M3 torch on the side rail to keep the suppressor free maybe for a laser? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Sounds pretty comfortable, the Element LLM-01 fits great under the silencer, and it both laser and torch. But I broke mine when I put freshly charged 123As in, so now I just use my M3 on the side rail, without the silencer ( Until I replace the LLM) Edited October 31, 2012 by ollie_ty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mace2 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Has anyone on here tried a longer barrel? Now I've got the B&T supressor I think I'm going to get my local gunsmith to make me one to run through it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now I've got the B&T supressor I think I'm going to get my local gunsmith to make me one to run through it. I'm sure there was a suppressor with a built in barrel extension for sale already... Gosh, I can't remember who makes it, though! Apologies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 The MP9 Inner barrel has unique cuts, so far there isn't a longer inner barrel available ( Possibly because of the FPS increase in an already powerful gun) The Power Up Silencer does have an inner barrel section running through it which butts up to your standard inner barrel. It will adjust your point of aim, and also increase FPS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollie_ty Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 From what I've read about the MP7 version, it doesn't really change the accuracy apart from the POI change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollie_ty Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 well, no. It increases your FPS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AG1212 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Well if using Green, it increases the FPS over the limit Even with the silencer, 134a will give me less FPS than Green, and it's cold here most of the time so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Just get the Dangerwerx valve and use Propane, best solution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AG1212 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I gotta come clean, I'm getting the TM MP7 Couldn't find a thread for the KWA MP7, and couldn't find info on the silencer, so I asked here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 You couldn't find the thread for the KWA MP7? there's a MASSIVE review thread about it! AND there's a review of the silencer in the Equipment Reviews section! Learn how to use the forum search. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AG1212 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 LOL. Well I went through Rifles (Gas) and there isn't a thread on it, not sure where else to look. Well I got my answer anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
