BigStew Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 The blow back mech puts more strain and more holes in the gearbox so they are weaker than a convention v2 gear box which can crack at the front any way. You need to decided what you want the gun to do 1st before you can think about upgrading. Lozart and Hudson 2

In general though, they're...ok. I did a build with 16:1 gears and a basic mosfet a few years back and it's held up OK so far but the blowback function is pneumatic and uses a hole in the top of the cylinder to bleed off air to make it work. My advice there would be to swap the cylinder for a standard one without the hole as it will help with power and consistency enormously. IIRC the gearbox has cast ridges on the inside that makes it a pain to use something like a Gate Aster as the ribs need removing to be able to put the stickers on the gearbox. I wouldn't go mad with it though, the front of the gearbox shell is known for being a bit fragile (unless of course you just HPA it in which case the world is your crustacean).
