LordElpus Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 The old KP-01 was a damn fun pistol to shoot. Lots of noise and nice kick. Couldn't hit the broadside of anything with and taking it out during the later autumn/winter was just not going to work. Still miss it and the KJW Glock 23. Link to post Share on other sites
ardrummer292 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Agreed on the lackluster accuracy of the KP-01. My pistol only comes out during near point-blank engagements (sub 15 feet), so I'm not too bothered. Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 New hop-up rubber, and depending upon how bad the original is, new inner barrel should sort the accuracy out. The Nine Ball VSR-type rubber is I think the most commonly recommended rubber. Check that the inner barrel is clean and the factory hop-up rubber is correctly seated first, of course.

ardrummer292 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Just out of curiousity, how long do you reckon I could leave my KP01's magazines charged with CO2? Can I charge them the night before a game, or do I have to wait until the morning of? Do I have to depressurize them in between days during a weekender, or is leaving them charged for ~48 hours okay? I only ask because I do weekenders pretty regularly and don't want to waste tons of CO2. Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I put them in but do not turn the cap all the way so the CO2bulb isn't pierced. Just before the start I turn the caps closed to the bulb is pierced, but do that to only 2 mags ( I have 5. Four in pouches, one in GBB ) In calm times, pierce a bulb when you feel you need it. Sometimes I go a day with 3 mags with pierced bulbs and just fill with BB's. I could get 4-5 mags out of one bulb, sometimes. When a bulb is empty, treat it like a malfuntion and insert mag with some CO2 in. It's a tiny bit cumbersome, having to have a hex key at the ready, but I don't waste much CO2 and I like the chance of 'simulated malfuntion of the mag' if the O2bulb is empty. CO2 mags should be able to take the pressure for a few days if you've maintained them ( oiled them ) the day before use. Never just dump CO2 ( or any gas, but expecially CO2 ! ) by pressing the valve. You'll damage all the rubber it passes trough/by because rubber ( and plastic ) don't like cold. They crack, become brittle. I realise I gave more info than asked for, but it's good info if you didn't know already. Also, I like apple cider and all this typing might be a slight side-effect. oops ^^ Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 72hrs is about the most I'd leave them charged for, but I certainly wouldn't have any worries about leaving them for 24 hours. Link to post Share on other sites

icolater Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I had a thought, the uac inner frame and hammer housing plus steel parts etc would make a marui/we work well for years. Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Moons ago I sold my replacement eliteforce 1911tac to a friend and he's left charged co2 caps in the mags since he got it. Only one mags leaks and that was the first mag I got for the gun. It needs a new valve 100%. No amount of lube kept that mag from leaking, the other 4 are still holding gas. I'm no fan of co2, I use mapp or "performance gas". If it don't work then, I dont work. I hate the cold, that's me being old. Link to post Share on other sites
