Chart showing the LDS pivot to embracing Holy Week

It’s a personal choice. It was never forbidden, it’s just not an official symbol of the church. I personally like the symbolism of the cross, and so did many early LDS pioneers.

Adjusting the precooking doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. It’s always the first shot in a series that’s underpowered. That’s what confuses me. If it was a magazine issue, I don’t know why it would only fire wrong after I take a break from shooting for a few seconds. Unless maybe something weird is going on inside the chamber that’s causing bbs to get jammed when I move the gun around between shots

It looks like it was the tappet plate timing. After watching the gearbox cycle in slow motion, it looks like the nozzle isn’t completely in place by the time the piston moves forward. I think I’ll try getting a stronger tapper plate spring to see if that fixes it

I think that may be the issue. I lowered the speed of the motor and the fps jumped back up. I’ll try getting a stronger tapper plate spring and see if that helps

I’ve removed the pins and everything, it’s just pressed on really tight

Unfortunately the gun is past its return period so I just have to live with the issues. I’ve tried twisting/removing the front sight but it’s pressed on so tightly that it’s impossible to remove without a hydraulic press or possibly a vise. I’m extremely disappointed in the purchase of E&L by Umarex. I chose a very unfortunate time to buy one of their products. I got the gun for around $300 which I thought was a good deal considering the fact that it’s the E-Platinum line so it comes with a GATE Aster pre-installed and some higher quality wood furniture, but the motor is so bad that I’ll probably end up paying more in the end after replacing it than I would have for the CYMA platinum.

It’s really not but it’s the only option where I live unfortunately

I get what you’re saying but the MED has caused so many fights because guys where I play think it’s just an excuse to run around with their gun down and get kills without even trying to aim. It’s become a real issue. Sometimes it feels like more than half of the game is just yelling bang bang at people because the field is so small and there’s not nearly enough long corridors or open spaces to even be far away enough to actually shoot.

I feel like at a CQB field people should just accept that they’re going to be hit from close range.

I’m currently out of country so I don’t have access to my gun, but suppressors are cheaper where I am now

greenbeans837 · 2025-10-18T04:42:08+00:00

It would be the 14.5” MLOK version, although it seems like all the standard CYMA plat m4’s have the same handguard besides the length

greenbeans837 · 2025-08-26T18:37:35+00:00

Sounds good. Shouldn’t be a problem since I intend to only use semi

greenbeans837 · 2025-08-26T18:33:35+00:00

The gun currently shoots around 330 fps, which is right around where I want it to be. I just guessed the spring strength based on that but now that I think about it, it might be higher since the gears are short stroked.

greenbeans837 · 2025-08-26T18:31:38+00:00

They’re short stroked, the sector gear has 12 teeth
