NonEx Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Got some chrono readings for ya'll! Did two chrono sessions with two full magazines worth of gas. Let the magazine go back to ambient room temp (2-3 hours) between tests. Shot count and high FPS differences are probably due to magazine being in different places in my apartment when going to ambient temp between tests and not filling the magazine with the same amount of gas between tests, and it being a brand new can of gas. Pretty impressive consistency and average both within each session and between the two sessions. Basic Information Manufacturer: Cybergun/WE Model: Desert Eagle .50 AE Type: Gas blow back Build materials: Full metal/Aluminum Gas: ASG ULTRAIR Power Green Gas (~130 PSI) BBs: Blaster 0.2g Temperature: ~22C Humidity: ~35% Chronograph: XCORTECH X3200 Time between shots: ~1 second Every 25 shots: Reload of BBs and registration of FPS data, ~2-3 minute pause. Last 10 shots of the magazine fill were noticably weaker. Chrono Session / Magazine Gas Fill #1 Total duration: ~7 minutes Total number of shots fired: 76 Total number of shots registered: 71 Total number of shots not registered: 5 (registered as 0 FPS in graph) FPS Max: 367,7 (Shot #1) FPS Min: 282,1 (Shot #76) FPS Avg.*: 331,7 FPS Median Avg.**: 333,1 * Total FPS for all shots registered / Total number of shots registered ** Listed all registered shots from Max to Min, removed the top 5 results and the bottom 5 results. Calculated the total FPS (20 318,4). Divided by number of shots in list (61) Chrono Session / Magazine Gas Fill #2 Total duration: ~6 minutes Total number of shots fired: 55 Total number of shots registered: 55 Total number of shots not registered: 0 (registered as 0 FPS in graph) FPS Max: 378,1 (Shot #1) FPS Min: 209,2 (Shot #55) FPS Avg.*: 338,0 FPS Median Avg.**: 340,3 * Total FPS for all shots registered / Total number of shots registered ** Listed all registered shots from Max to Min, removed the top 5 results and the bottom 5 results.

renegadecow Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Tried mapp and it was doing over 380. The kick felt like something was gonna break though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yeeh I was thinking about trying to shoot it with the 220 PSI Guarder gas but not sure if that is such a good idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) WE exploded view image is now working and higher resolution than KY Airsoft. http://www.weairsoft.com/media/wysiwyg/de-1.jpg BTW I recorded my slide disassembly and reassembly video today and I could not get the front sight off. Tried some different tehcniques but decided to leave it be. Edited January 14, 2018 by NonEx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Push down then drift sideways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I did, and I tried, and it would not come out. I pushed it down all the way flush, pushed both ways. Pushed it down on one side, tried driving it out the other, and then to the other side, and I pushed it down and applied force with a punch, pushed it down and wiggled it while trying to move side to side, etc... And it did not come out. Even if I did get it out, I am worried about getting it back on again Also FYI I fixed the loose rear sight fit with a couple of layers of aluminum tape on the BBU nub that seats in the bottom of the rear sight.

renegadecow Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 It's really tough to push out. But it's important that you keep it pushed down completely otherwise that bearing wedges itself between the two making it impossible to drift out. Pushed mine from right to left if it helps but looking at it closely it appeared to be symmetrical. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I took the liberty of enhancing the WE exploded view image a little bit. Removed the WE logo from the background, added some thicker and sharper lines. Edited January 14, 2018 by NonEx 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Sooo, trigger pin on mine broke. Will take pics later when I fix it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Fixed by drilling and sticking a carbon steel pin with super glue through. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hmm... Interesting. I would have thought they made that pin out of steel. Cheap fukks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 It's definitely ferrous but was very easy to drill out so maybe MIM or iron. Can't complain much since the gun is cheap to begin with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I assume that was done with a pillar drill/lathe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Haha. No. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Ha. I had a feeling that was a silly question and that you just free handed it with something requiring considerably more skill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 This covers everything on the slide except the damn front sight 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I dunno, maybe I just have freakish hand strength considering I free hand drilled that pin repair as in no putting things in a vice, just held on and hoped the bit doesn't slip and skewer my hand. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just a small update. While I widened the hop window right after I got it to provide more hop (as I do to all new WE guns), I found accuracy to be lacking. Grouping roughly 8" at 20m my Makarov does better even with the suppressor off. I was examining the barrel and noticed the roughly machined crown so stuck it on my ghetto lathe (power drill) and proceeded to clean it up: refaced the front edge with a file (was kinda bumpy originally), sanded and polished the deep chamfer to a mirror polish (had a ridged pattern presumably from being turned). Surprisingly enough, it shrunk groups in half! Will do some more extended testing as this now appears to have the potential to be a viable sniping handgun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember rebuilding a really ancient TM M4a1 for a friend on a budget which effectively only covered a metal receiver, rail and outer barrel with minimal amounts left over for internals. I ended up cutting down the stock TM inner on a lathe before recrowning it and giving it a quick polish and it's pretty much on par with the Madbul black 6.03mm tightbores everyone used to rave about a few years back.

SuperCriollo Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Read through the whole thread, and not sure if I missed it, but does anyone know if the WE DE is compatible with TM mags ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
