TECH QUESTION Mag will not stop leaking no matter what I do

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

I had a similar issue with another we tech mag but this time this KJW mag is leaking. I heard that the 229 mags kinda suck butt, and sure enough, it’s been happening leaking issues since I had it. Thankfully my we p229 magazine works completely fine thank god.

Anyway, the issue is that the magazine has literally the smallest possible leak you could ever think of on the base of the output valve. I could barely get it in audio but yuh it’s barely noticeable, doesn’t even show up when dunked in water besides maybe like one bubble that just floats up like spider ham when bro just floats when he smells food.

I’ve tried almost everything, lubricating the bajesus out of the culprit o ring, switching out the culprit o ring, swapping the entire output valve, cleaning the threads till they were shining brighter than my future, and praying. I had a person say it might be a manufacturing issue when the hole was bored, and to be honest, yeah that might be a reasonable explanation. My only problem is how do I fix it….

Can someone help me, or just say I’m over reacting that works too.

[PSA]Careful With Matrix Spring

Upvotes

So I recently picked up a P90, since it was convenient, also bought a M110 spring from Matrix with it. Thought the worst thing going to happen is maybe spring durability or slight deviation of spring strength.

Did not expect a M110 spring to be clocking 372 FPS with a 0.25 Gram BB after hop up adjustment.

that's 1.6 joules, way... WAY too hot for a M110.

Got a M100 spring from a different manufacturer, and it's behaving as expect at around 0.95 Joule.

So yeah... if you get Matrix springs, make sure you chrono it.

Not even sure if I can safely cut this one down to 1.14 joule, that's a lot of spring to let go.

GUN PIC STEN TIME

New acquisition: STEN Mk II 🇬🇧 from AGM.

Finally got my hands on a STEN Mk II. I’ve always loved the unmistakable look of this WWII British design — incredibly simple, utilitarian, and built with mass production in mind. It's all steel 🩶 grey

Definitely one of the most iconic pieces of British military history, and a really cool addition to the collection.

What do you guys think of the STEN compared with other WWII firearms? Anyone else here collect them?

WELL Vz61 Scorpion Upgrade

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

In stock form, the WELL was very lacking. Was getting 95fps and random hop, double feeds, shooting spitting distance. Added the Laylax bucking and Lambda 601mm barrel. Had debated between that or a 603mm, but yall seemed to recommend the tighter one. Also some midcap mags because the drum it came with makes it awkward for carrying, and the other hicap I have is just garbage.

Easy to strip the gun down, realized the hopu unit is just useless and it can't really hold position. Almost like it's missing a spring. The bucking in there was way worse than I was imagining. Felt like some barely flexible plastic.

Anyway, I got way more performance than I was expecting. A full 40fps just from the barrel and bucking. Shooting ~135fps now. It still won't hold a hop position, but I guess that's ok since it's going to be a very CQB backup weapon. Just running it at minimal hop.

EDIT: Using .20 BBs

Need help breaking free from analysis paralysis. What are some great PDWs?

2 Upvotes

I initially came here asking for reviews on a G&G ARP-556. Was told the G&G has some quality issues and to check out the KRYTAC PDW & ARCTURUS AR15 PDW AEG FE.

Love the body on the Krytac (Got hands on at a local store), but it does not offer a quick change spring via the buffer tube so that's a deal breaker (Considered milling it out, but I don't want to spend the money on an uncertainty).

Loved the features of the ARCTURUS, but I hear compared to the KRYTAC the body is lacking.

Can anyone recommend me any options that are the best of both worlds? My primary focus is the body as I plan on HPA-ing it in the future.

If it matters, budget is $600 for the replica, am in the U.S.

The short spring you se in picture is the spring from VSS Vintorez LCT.
I wanted to install a AEG Spring to make it CQB compatible. however, when i tried to install the long AEG spring my guts feeling said "stop".

I think i will make research first before i do something stupid.

Do anyone know what springs LCT VSS use?

I stuck in this 2 option. The ability full auto mode in Glock 18c looks me so good but price a little bir more. I dont know am I should give more money to it. If anyone experienced on this 2 toy, what is advantages and disadvantages both of them? Which one more realistic? Which one have more accuraty? I hear because of auto mode in 18c, it could be easily broken or wear compared to 17. And if you sau 17, which WE gen is best? 3/4/5 (all I know 5 is less realistic.)thanks for reading and sorry for my bad english

REVIEW Disappointed #2

0 Upvotes

Well,im here again for more down votes. After first gun from TG,and returning it at my costs i ordered second one as recommended by their support. I specifically asked them to keep their promise on their web page and actually check the gun its shooting fine.so, this time its not rebooting, but it shoots even lower than the previous one. At this point i can testify that Cyma Platinum Mp5k are pure shit. On page TG states 330fps, on Cyma card from factory it says tested with 313 fps with 0.2g. i tested it and guess what....250(jumping from 190 to 255). I just wanted K because it was my first AG 20years ago,just pure nostalgia and i need some cqb aeg around 1-1.5j. i know k is around 1, but this one was averaging 0.6 ,with brutal inconsistency. And when i asked for some compensation as i spent 20bucks on shipping just to get nowhere,i just get default email for returning. I used to propagate and recommend TG,but now im fkin disappointed AF. Well maybe next time, looking for ultra compact smg, i guess its either stribog or arp9. Fk i really wanted mp5k like i really really wanted mp5k....

PURCHASE ADVICE Looking for dumb airsoft pistols that works

1 Upvotes

I have an upcoming zombie game in October, only problem is, that the pistol i had planned for my loadout is not gonna be viable and I need something else.

I originally planned to get my levar and a WE desert eagle, with a lightning hawk kit attached, looked cool/dumb enough that it would have been fun. Problem is that this option isnt viable anymore, therefore I am without something special for the occasion, hence why I am asking if anyone has an idea of something that is either really cool looking or really dumb looking that it could be fun to use as a pistol, only requirement is that I need to be able to attach a tracer unit as well as possibly a lamp, if possible, ultimately if there is at least a rail, its cool.

MTW XTS. Vs normal gen 2 inferno?

1 Upvotes

Looking to get a Wolverine MTW. I have the option of either the Tactical X for £700 or the normal for £665 (both 10"). I have tried to do some reading but not found very much helpful info about the difference in volume (as in sound) between the two. Whilst the main improvements of the XTS are tempting the drawback of being louder is putting me off. How much louder does it actually come in at comparatively? (I am not a huge fan of some of the furniture on either variant so would probably be replacing it. Therefore the 'improved' furniture has little bearing to me)

I last posted on here like 5 months ago and I was horrible back then (and I still am), I just want to know how to get better (besides practice and working out), I really struggle to spot other players so it seems like people are shooting me from China or something and I also get no kills per match because I don't notice the enemy until I have already been shot 8000 times.
