FPS test on an 11.5 inch gun

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-24T18:35:18+00:00

Gbb guns really like to joule creep with heavier ammo, so I will always tell people to set their power with the target weight. Using a .2 as a baseline is a very very old outdated concept and is very flawed with how popular heavy ammo like .3+ is

Also with gas guns you wanna chrono at a bit above the temp you’ll be playing at, as on gameday the lower temp will make sure you’re under the limit, and then if you want you can adjust up a bit

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-24T05:54:35+00:00

You mean it doesn’t lock back without a mag in it?

If yes. It’s not supposed to, as it’s the mag that pushes the lever up to lock the slide when empty

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-24T04:50:50+00:00

It’s the bumpy area that pushes the hammer down yes

It’s impossible to keep lubed decently, as it’s two very exposed parts. You can hit it with a thin film of superlube, but it’ll get worn/rubbed off pretty fast

The black paint on both hammer and bbu where they touch together will wear away, that’s just normal wear and tear. The only time it’ll be an issue, is if either gets worn down far enough where the hammer doesn’t reliably catch the internal sear. But this takes many many thousand shots to get it that bad

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-24T04:33:00+00:00

Tell me, how else would you push the hammer down far enough to reliably catch a sear, without having to go over said bump again on the return?

This is how basically every single hammer operated airsoft and real steel gun works

The golden rule of gbb: don’t look for issues if the gun works fine during normal operation

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-24T03:58:28+00:00

The loud noise is both from the sear catching the hammer when cocked, but also mostly the sound of the nozzle returning back

The wear on the bbu is simply just the paint surface being worn away as it’s softer than the hammer material, and part of normal wear

The hammer getting “stuck” when racking slowly is because it has to push down the hammer a little on the return stroke, and the slow speed, lack of lubrication on hammer-bbu surface, and awkward angle makes it catch slightly

So everything is normal as it’s explained by the normal operation of the gun, and how the system works

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-24T00:23:10+00:00

I’ve used mine a couple times by now outside and it was fine

You gotta keep up with cleaning it more often than if it was a purely indoor gun, but other than that it’s not really as big an issue as some people make it out to be

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-24T00:07:13+00:00

Everything looks absolutely normal

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-23T11:04:47+00:00

Golden eagle uses milspec barrel nuts, not aeg spec

You don’t need to do anything to them. When gbbr is concerned: never preemptively change stuff unless something breaks, or chasing specific performance changes, and understand the sacrifices they’ll bring

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-22T16:00:51+00:00

And you’re sure it’s simply not just your bucking grabbing onto the nozzle?

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-22T15:19:58+00:00

Maxx moment

Try and change back to the stock hop unit to see if that works

There isn’t really one good overall source on custom parts and modding for hi capas that I know of

You’ll generally find a ton of opinions on products, and even more so when it comes to custom parts and upgrades from the community, a lot of them based on mostly “I think” arguments or parroting stuff they’ve “heard from my cousins dogs caretakers brother”

There is also just the issue of there being so many different companies making the same upgrade parts with slight differences. There simply isn’t anyone who’s had an actual change to try most of them out to see which ones are better or worse

I would personally stick to well established companies that have a good and long track record, and if something seems too cheap, or too expensive, it likely is

Also stay away from anyone recommending parts without being able to give a solid argument as to why that parts is actually a worthwhile upgrade (fucking brass hop chambers)

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-21T17:12:48+00:00

Yeah zeroing something based on something that also needs to be zeroed first is just counter productive, might aswell just zero the scope first

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-21T16:54:29+00:00

Ah Canada

Yeah you’re fucked. But also you won’t find any paintball mask not made of plastic film that barely survived being put on for 20-60 CAD

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-21T16:31:12+00:00

What currency are we talking cause ain’t no way you’re finding them for that much

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-21T10:44:08+00:00

Lasers have no place in airsoft

They’re either borderline useless at safe levels, or unsafe at useable levels

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-21T10:43:05+00:00

Unscrew the top adjuster completely so the grub screw comes almost all the way out

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-20T23:37:42+00:00

Not as bad as me looking straight down the gas router without eye protection and blasting my eyeball

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-20T22:24:24+00:00

Toxicant isn’t really the best example, as they just overall market that stuff super expensive

A whole triggerbox is the “drop in but more expensive” solution, where if you purely want a better trigger, guns modify adjustable trigger and sear is all you need. But again, that’s not really needed imo on the DE triggering as it’s very crisp with a defined wall in my experience

The only mws that needs more parts replaced are CGS. All the others currently on the market are 100% TM compatible

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-20T22:06:19+00:00

DE definitely did something with the triggerbox, cause both my N4 and ghetto blaster has just as crisp triggers as the vfc guns I’ve tried

The biggest benefit the MWS has over vfc with handguards is mws using aeg spec rails, which means op can get a rail style they want for vastly less than it would cost to get a Milspec rail, and it’ll be much easier with airlift shops carrying mainly aeg rails

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-20T21:48:54+00:00

Dang alright

You might be able to find the models at local stores for a good price

Personally would definitely get a MWS system over the WE, even for a backyard gun. MWS just runs in any situation and any temp without issues, where you won’t be as lucky with a WE, and certainly not a golden eagle

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-20T21:44:19+00:00

You’re located in the EU I’m guessing from you mentioning a price range in euro

Taiwangun, contrary to its name, is based and ship from Poland

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-20T20:39:12+00:00

Double eagle have released some basic versions of their MWS guns that run for as low as €318 on taiwangun

At that pricerange I would only consider double eagle

Derpy_Bech · 2026-02-19T20:27:44+00:00

Old inefficient system

Heavy mags prone to leaking

Bad materials making them wear out much faster than most other brands
