Point Two Balls

Hi Guys, Anyone owned or worked on a Lancer Tactical Gen 3? Thinking of buying one, but could with an opinion who has actual hands on experience. Cheers, Pat.

CYMA 513

Hi Guys. Anyone (lefties) have issues accidentally knocking there fire selector switch onto safe during an event? Talking about rifles here. Any solutions? Cheers, Pat.

Hi Guys. Great advice and I get it all now after knowing what to look for. I like the sound of drilling and tapping the gear box under and behind the trigger and reducing the pre-engagement as a cheap fix, but I know get the whole mosfet thing as well (never fully understood it before). So a cheap ish mosfet like a Gate Astor and an adjustable trigger like a MAXX cnc one would give me a hair trigger and ability to use a better battery and make the gun last longer if not abused. So for less than £100, I ignited be able to do this, and if the rest of the gun gives up (it’s a £100 CYMA after all), I’d still have the mosfet and trigger to fit to a new gun. Sound ok? Cheers, Pat.

Cyma CM-513

Hi Guys, My step son CQB's with me, but as he's a little dude, he doesn't like how far he has to pull the trigger on his CYMA. Is fitting a CNC trigger the cheapest easiest option? Cheers, Pat.

Hi. My helmet has the adjuster on the back of it and locks on pretty tight to my head. And I'm lucky that I don't really get a sweaty head and couldn't even steam up my cheap Raven mask. Cheers, Pat.

Hi Guys, After mulling over the eye pro, face mask, helmet, hat dilema, I think I did a thing..... I removed all the interior and the straps of the Nuprol FAST helmet, swapped a few screws around so they didn't scratch the DYE lens and put the DYE strap around the back of the helmet, and it all seems to work and stay in place by only using the adjuster on the back of the helmet - no chin strap required. Not committed to cutting off the straps yet. Looks pretty stealthy to me... Pat.

Ah - ok - makes sense that dropping 1V would slow things down. I wanted to loose the crane stock and fit a slimline stock, so that means my battery had to fit completely inside the buffer tube so I opted for this one: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-7-4v-600mah-20-40c-battery-for-pdw-mini-tamiya No way will anything else bigger fit. Not sure A 25C will be much different even if I could find one to fit. So I guess this is the limitation of a slimmer stock. Pat.

So....my stock battery was an 8.4v 1100mAh nimh. The only lipo I could find that would fit in the stock buffer tube was a 7.4v 600mAh Lipo. The gun just seems not as sharp and full auto is definitely slower with the Lipo fitted. Is this normal ??? Thanks Pat.

A couple more pics. Further reading suggests this is pretty normal. Option is to buy a smaller 600mA 7.4v (rather than the 800mAq 11.1v supplied battery) or to buy the extended buffer tube (which means you can't collapse the stock). Pretty poor for a gun that costs almost £200. Pat.

Too long.

Hi Guys, My Ronin arrived today. Love it. But there’s no way the supplied lipo is fitting in the buffer tube. Options/ideas/thoughts? Cheers, Pat.

Thanks @BigStew. I’m competent with swapping a plug for the AER and that adapter makes the AEP easy too. Pat. Or this Lipo even easier: https://www.airsoftworld.net/world-exclusive-lithium-polymer-aep-battery-li-po-lipo-7-4v-550mah.html What’s the max safe Lipo I can put into a entry level Cyma (513) ? if at all…. Pat.

Hi All, Am I right in thinking that if I don’t get a crazy large and powerful Lipo, it’s a straight swap….. Or is there more to it? Pat.

Hi, Thanks, but it was still under warranty so I got a full refund. I did think about another MP5 and whilst I love the gun and it's looks, the selector switched played up a few times. Hence paying more for something betterer (yes that's a real word) and more reliable. With my step son having an M4 - it just makes sharing mags etc. a lot easier. Pat.

Hi Guys, Thanks for reading so far...... I'm a pro bicycle mechanic by trade and it's a similar scenario once you get over a certain price point - the bikes are all good - just pick the one you like the look of the most. Glad it's the same scenario with airsoft and no one has said anything bad about any of the guns listed. Really really liking the ARP-566 and looks like it's going to be the winner though (thanks @Mr. No_Face). Yes @Rogerborg - it was a Galaxy G.5M - tested in the garden and the metal stock inner tube sheared right off as I was starting my first CQB session last week - never been banged or dropped either. Also, the selector switch sometimes went to full auto, or nothing at all, but I read this happens to a few with the similar switch. Love the size and style of the gun though. It was still under warranty though so returned it last week - just waiting for the refund now. Regards, Pat.

Hi Guys, Love my MP5, but after the stock snapped clean off, I'm after something new. I've been looking at: Saigo Defence Ronin (love the look). G&G Firehawk (not the biggest fan of the look of the stock). Specna Arma SA-C10 PDW. G&G ARP-9 (love the look, but proprietary mags) Amoeba AM-015 Stubby Badger (love the stock, but that front handle would have to go) Not wanting to upgrade - just after a reliable CQB and woodland all rounder. What are peoples thoughts/experiences and have I missed anything I mike like off the list?
