FUmiYAsu Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I fired a couple rounds today. Nothing like my M15 CQB (of course) but it's not too bad. Hopefully upgrades will come out soon though, because the FPS isn't to my liking. Also, has anyone else noticed that on semi, some shots fall flat of the mark, like its getting absolutely no compression? Full auto works like a charm though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not really... haven't had anything like tht... althou I had like four double feeds during the last 20 mags or so...

davedawg123 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Quick question, does the gun stop firing after your mag runs out of ammo? Probably not, but im curious due to its pistol-like design, it would be nice to have a cutoff feature like that... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The only AEG's with that feature are the Systema PTW's, which cost over $1000. If you want stop after the last feature in your airsoft guns, your best are gas blow-back pistols. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scatter-shot Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Yeah i figured, i was just thinking due to the design it could be incorporated easier due to the pistol-like mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
staticzero Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 The only thing pistol-like about the mags is their size. Otherwise they're designed just like your average AEG mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) As for the low power, I believe it was that my battery was dying. I only charged it for about an hour and a half, and I shot about 5 or 6 mags through (probably more) before I started noticing the power drop. Anyone else have a similiar experience as the battery dies out? Edited February 15, 2006 by davedawg123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aeig Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Are you talking about this switch? If so its a dummy switch and does absolutly nothing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you sure? Cause on mine, I cannot open the ejection port unless that button is pushed up at the same time of charging the handle, or if I put the gun on semi. Hmmm.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Come on, Dave, that doesn't make much sense. As long as the battery has enough juice to crank the gears, the main spring will travel the same distance for each shot, So as long as the gun shoots, there shouldn't be any power drop, just the normal fluctuations. ROF drop, yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) Yeah it doesn't make much sense. Wishful thinking I guess. I guess I'll have to crack her open. DAMN! Edited February 15, 2006 by davedawg123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yf22k Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 OK i just gave in and ordered one. Has anyone cracked one open yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Me thinks so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazchap Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Just thinking aloud here after someone mentioned about an auto-cutoff when the mag runs out of ammo. Obviously it's too late for the MP7, but surely it would be technically possible in an AEG to have a metal follower in the mag that, when it reaches the top of the mag (and therefore there are no BBs left) it comes into contact with some piece of metal somewhere in the gun and closes a circuit or something that stops the gun from firing?

TDS Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 do you have any idea how big of a pain in the *albatross* it would be to fix/test said gun if you had to have it loaded all the time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, the Systema PTWs do it. How do you fix/test a Systema PTW? Or is that a pain in the *albatross* too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lax Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 About the power of semi firing, i've noticed something on my tm launchers...May be ######, but maybe not. When we don't push the trigger completely, or if we release it to early, gun misfires (low fps or double feeding). Since i made the effort of manly pressing it, i had much less problems.

Or is that a pain in the *albatross* too? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thats because the systema PTW's are made with some representation of quality, and they still need to be kept pretty clean. Your average airsofter screams bloody murder at the slightest niggle and refuses to fix it him/herself, instead opting to pay for needless upgrades or harass the retailer like the QC of the guns is thier fault (G&G M14 anyone?) It'll never happen in a mass produced gun for the masses intended to make a profit, never, unless its 150% reliable, and that probably will never happen on cheaply produced airsoft guns, even the supposidly "high quality" ones we pay out of our ears for are made of zinc and ABS. About the power of semi firing, i've noticed something on my tm launchers...May be ######, but maybe not. When we don't push the trigger completely, or if we release it to early, gun misfires (low fps or double feeding). Since i made the effort of manly pressing it, i had much less problems. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Semi auto works by powering the gun until a little latch attached to the sector gear comes around and cuts the power off, if you let go of the trigger before the gun does one complete cycle, it doesnt work obviously.

doc_newstead Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 What an odd gun. I'm surprised that the low power hasn't put all these hordes off buying them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

staticzero Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 What an odd gun. I'm surprised that the low power hasn't put all these hordes off buying them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It could be a squirt gun for all I care, I just wanted a decent MP7 to play with. Thankfully it does shoot BBs and fairly well too, despite the low FPS (and that will be correctible in time no doubt) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazchap Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 To test fire a PTW you just hold the bolt release while you pull the trigger. Its not a pain in the *albatross*. So presumably this kind of system could also be implemented in a non-PTW AEG? How do PTWs detect when the BBs have run dry anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

starburst Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi, Quick question, Ive read about these Tamiya connectors that people are saying to get and that Airsoft Scotland are replacing the std charger with, exactly what are these and how do you use them? Ive looked on Maplins and still arent sure, help would be appreciated Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
staticzero Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Tamiya connectors are the little white connectors just about every AEG uses. Google Image Search FTW: http://images.google.com/images?client=saf...F-8&sa=N&tab=wi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cause on mine, I cannot open the ejection port unless that button is pushed up at the same time of charging the handle, or if I put the gun on semi. Hmmm.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> WE are absolutely sure. I think you just had to practice with the handle. There's nothing in the design tht could possibly make the mag catch or bolt release stopping the charging handle. To pull the handle back you simply squeeze the left and right portions together and pull back. Somtimes it gets stuck on one side, if tht happens, shift your force from one side to the other and it should open up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elrey Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Yeah it doesn't make much sense. Wishful thinking I guess. I guess I'll have to crack her open. DAMN! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, I've noticed that too. It definitely slows down quite a bit before it dies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
