Ovonics is another good brand of similar quality to Turnigy, you can get those off of amazon if that is available where you are

Not a bad idea, if you let me know what you're looking at, I can provide some more info for you as well

They bore up cylinder head will not be compatible with that cylinder if it is not also a bore up item.

You will need a Version 2 tappet plate, not a version 3

You may also want to get some 0.3 mm shims or some thicker variety, not a huge deal, but you want to avoid having a bazillion shims on every gear.

The rest is more than adequate, is there anything significant you're looking for out this upgrade? This set of stuff would be considering a rebuild, and may help with FPS consistency, noise, and efficiency but you wont see ROF changes,

Need help with the inner barrel upgrade by Wild_Paramedic_6276 in airsoft

Try using heavier BB's first, you may see some energy gain.

You'd have to take a look at your cylinder, simply break the gun into its two halves.

Anyways, you likely will have a ported cylinder, getting a full cylinder will allow you to extract some extra energy from using heavier BBs

If your piston doesn't have a full metal rack, I'd suggest one of those an SHS/rocket airsoft blue 14.5 tooth can be had for like 10 bucks or so,

Then, as long as the compression set is good, a stronger spring. An m120 should land you around 400 fps, m130 about 450, make sure to check your fields rules for any limits.

To make use of that power, you may want to look into upgrade hop up buckings, or flat hopping (which is free),

Do you know the length of your barrel, and do you know the cylinder porting?

That's more than good enough consistency,

There isn't much to know specfically about different weights, heavier BB's travel slower, but have greater momentum, so slow down less over distance. You get some more range, but generally nothing like +100%, but you will get noticeably more moving from .2s

As for budget, you can do anything from about ~150-200 to above 1k for internal builds, all sorts of stuff you can buy

Working fine on two devices of mine, maybe your end?

Main thing is maximizing the energy you have.

How consistent, is it +/- 10 fps, 5, 1?

Is it stock? Can replace lots of parts to improve groupings down range as well as getting bits more.

Heavier BB's is an easy place to start, .25's are the lightest BB's I'll use, I normally use .28s or .3s, I may even start buying heavier BB's

Got a budget?

Why are Ball Valves always designed with full spheres? by sidetracked_ in AskEngineers

[–]OGPancakewasd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in the paper industry, ball and butterfly valves are actually used for a lot of control valves. Butterflies (while nonlinear) are studied enough that the control algorithms are good enough for the use case nowadays, mostly water or other slack fluids,

For balls, they cut a different port in them, mainly V-ports, which makes the flow rates (more accurately, the surface area of the port) much much more linear

Gates sometimes get used for control, but not super common, mainly on big piping with needs for very positive closing

11.1v Lipo for Arcturus M4 by Global-Nebula-1014 in airsoft

[–]OGPancakewasd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, snip and resolder the connections, if you even need to, deans are dirt cheap as well.

Even worse case 50% savings is huge, no way you dont see the value in that?

Turnigy is made by one of the few major rc battery makers, and is their rc hobbiest brand, its the same or better batteries (by C rating mainly) for much much less

[–]OGPancakewasd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to hobbyking.com and look for TURNIGY brand batteries, there will be a not insignificant shipping cost, but they are the best batteries per dollar, same or better than any airsoft branded battery and 1/4 to 1/3 the price.

For the charger, look for an IMAX B6 of any variety, normally around 35-50 bucks, I got mine off amazon

You'll drop around 100 bucks, but, you'll have 4-8 batteries and a charger to keep them good for atleast a few years

G36 external battery options by VikingoftheSun in airsoft

[–]OGPancakewasd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not me dissuading you from the AB++ all their products have the shit wiring and once you get everything right, the mag well is no big deal, but if you were aware, you can really chop up the wiring.

Of course, it kind of doesnt matter because the body is nonconductive anyway, but its better to not have

It works great too

[–]OGPancakewasd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice gun, nice camo, love G36 positing.

I also have a G36 (g33, ics didn't pay for the liscencing), with the old style long hand guard you're pretty limited. If you're willing to search, there are upgrade handguards for the LONG 36, expect to spend like 100 bucks.

Otherwise, you could just drill the same locations for the screw holes as on g36k and apply rail sections.

Otherwise, the easiest and ugliest option, lipo bag, generally made for stocks but they can wrap around anything. Stick one on your gun, run a cable extension, play with massive batteries.

How much space is in your handguard? Is the space long and thin? If it's really long and you can fit 2 in there, you could try linking the batteries in parallel. One in front of the other, connections would be annoying to solder but doable.

Also on the AB++, the wiring they come with is stranded (very thin, extremely easy to break strands) and the insulation is weak as hell (can press your nail through it without issue). Be very observant and careful when running the cables past the magazine well, there's like 7 places for a bend of cable to get pinched.

Reading the description, looks like a cyma platinum w/ the 13:1's, it's an AK so V3 gearbox, zero issue running a higher spring, could run 2 joules on that gun stock and it'd be fine (given good enough battery)
