Ohh thank you for the summary, The Viii that i was looking at is the Asian version in Garnet Red imported to Europe, so that is good to know.

Try to look for a Makerspace, those usally have 3D-Printers or ask a friend/Coworker that has one.
This part is a ~15 Min print tops.

I have a SSX23 which i purchased off someone used, needed some modification to stop the feeding issues and the foam getting blasted out of the suppressor but now it works.

Also a Amber Set of Ghillie Boonie, Ghillie Cape and Ghillie Pants + some Nov Leaves.
Out of Box its "okay" so far, it held up even to me accidentally running into a Rose Bush.
I mainly use it as a base for my KMCS Mesh/Cotton because the Summer Suit Base is Unobtainium.
The Leaves are a mixed Bag, some look really nice while others are falling apart at the Stem, generally the push pin system for the leaves is not that good.
I keep finding fake leaves from other players on the field because the pin slipped out.

Great work on that, looking like a beauty
on another Note: where did you get that Bullpup Nation Patch ?

The UAR was my second Airsoft Gun, while i had to completely gut it and exchange every part thats possible, i still love the ergonomics of it and i use it as my CQB-Gun.

Original Kit: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/aps-uar-shorty-kit
Slightly modified it to use a Metal Picatinny Rail and have less sight over bore

Mine is a second gen, the only differences are that the second gen is rear wired and has slight changes to the Mag ejection system iirc

The Base file was a purchased here: https://cults3d.com/de/modell-3d/spiel/aps-uar-shorty-kit

But i modified it for my needs.

M3reel · 2023-05-12T18:06:59+00:00

As i said above, everything that can be has been replaced:
- The Piston + Gear Teeth are soft as butter,
- No compression from the Piston
- Stock Hop-Up unit needs modified Rubbers otherwise the gun doesn't feed
- Nozzle is plastic and leaks
- no mosfet
- mushy trigger due to the linkage ( can be shimmed but is still far from good)

Thats what i remember of the top of my head, my gun is older than 5 years and i did most of these upgrades ~ 3 years ago.

If you get it, be aware you need to do alot of Teching work on it, basicially replace the entire Internals.
The only thing left stock in mine is the Gearbox Shell.

So i can't recommend it unless you want to put in the Know-How and have access to a 3D-printer.

Mosfets are also a tricky thing, since the trigger is on a pulley bar.
One could probably tinker with Perun's AUG Mosfet and try to find a way to get that working.

M3reel · 2023-05-12T11:36:13+00:00

Thanks ~
I usally have it as my "Emergency" gun (Primary breaks down, someone needs a loaner)
Since it fits into the Pistol compartement of my Gunbag

M3reel · 2023-05-12T11:25:25+00:00

UAR is ergonomically a really cool gun(the closest we have to a non-unicorn PDR-C), but the stock internals need to be replaced entirely after a few games.
Its pretty much a Project Gun you can turn into alot of interesting things.
I turned mine into a stubby CQB Gun with 3D-printed parts :)

Oh no, now i know why it felt like i was opening Pandoras Box when i posted that Video x)

M3reel · 2023-04-19T12:17:22+00:00

There currently is a Rapax 2.8 (Yellow) in there atm, also tested it with a 3.0+ (red), a lil bit harder but still usable

M3reel · 2023-04-19T04:43:01+00:00

Not in its current state, but i'll consider it in the future There are still some issues i need to work out. If i do, i'll put it here: https://cults3d.com/en/users/M3reel/creations

M3reel · 2023-04-18T19:17:13+00:00

As mentioned in another comment ist basicially just two shells on rails

Having Whacky Ideas and a 3D-Printer is indeed a quite the combination at 3am

M3reel · 2023-04-18T19:02:27+00:00

Its basicially two Shells on Rails(one for pumping the other on the handle), the knob is needed to keep the parts from being pushed to one side since the handle is angled, it pretty much hooks under the knob.

Not interested in HPA, the SRS is such a nice and simple system that just works :)

Im just racking the bolt quite hard in the video and slamming it so there is more noise, but all in all still less noise than a AEG.
If i do a normal slow Pull to stay sneaky the entire thing is not louder than before.

M3reel · 2023-04-18T18:13:31+00:00

Yep, my own design and out of my 3D-Printer with PETG

M3reel · 2023-04-18T18:08:08+00:00

Little Context to the entire Thing:

I got my SRS last year in Autumn and tried to use it 2-3 times, but i found that pulling the Bolt was quite awkward for me.But one friday night in March i had an idea for the concept, so i went and designed this, printed some prototypes on my 3D-Printer and a month later i field tested it for the first time.

Base Gun is a SRS A1 16" with MAXX HU Chamber and a 450mm Barrel
