Popular Post ak2m4 Posted July 26, 2022 Popular Post Posted July 26, 2022 Been testing this for the past 4 weeks and so far hasn't broken. It's a fully mechanical ETU with 4 micro-arms. I've always been a little sceptical of these type of FET's due to the unreliability of the switches but this one is proving pretty decent so far. I'm organising a small test of these with 10 or 20 regular players later this week, hopefully will see if they last the distance and how serviceable these are. Price should be around £35 Will update the thread with the findings. Nick G, AK47frizzle, Rogerborg and 3 others 5 1
Shamal Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by fully mechanical? Regards

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted July 26, 2022 Supporters Posted July 26, 2022 what sort of functionality are we talking? the thing i'm mainly thinking about is what does this offer that the likes of an ab++ or warfet doesn't? as those options have the added benefit of being universal fitment? only thing i'm seeing is the ability to grub screw mod the trigger for dem mouseclicks.
Fatboy40 Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 I don't know what I'd do without the great parts on ak2m4 but, hmmm, not sure about this one ? I'd rather have one less take-away and get a GATE Titan, and there are things like this... https://eshooter-world.com/products/kestrel-v2 ... which Double Eagle are slapping into some of their AEG's. ak2m4 1

Supporters Rogerborg Posted July 26, 2022 Supporters Posted July 26, 2022 That's a lot of functionality for the money, especially if it can give you a speedyboi trigger. I saw the Facebook post but I don't run V2 enough to be a good test monkey. I'll be watching with interest to see if a V3 appears. ak2m4 1
Speedbird_666 Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Too many switches for my liking. I think would rather pay the extra dosh for a Perun Hybrid.

I’m just in the middle of a build that I’ve got a titan for but plans can change , Looks quite similar to the btc spectre

rj1986 Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 I know ngrs fet's are a different beast altogether, but apart from gearbox shape, what would stop them making one? The Titan is the current go-to for most, but a cheap mechanical fet to stop spamming lock ups (i think) would sell well

The Titan is the current go-to for most, but a cheap mechanical fet to stop spamming lock ups (i think) would sell well I really don't know that much about NGRS but I guess it's certainly possible. Part of the issue these are made in China by a Chinese company, they don't have access to TM NGRS guns to experiment because they are banned. Getting them into the country is incredibly hard for them. They can't even get run of the mill products sent from Taiwan let alone Airsoft bits. These Chinese fets have only come about due to the authorities relaxing the laws around Gel Blasters, however I hear that's about to change. Ideally you'd need to design the product here in the UK, working with a Chinese factory to get them made. Is there a big enough market to warrant the cost? Dunno. Monday I'm sending out a few units so hopefully we'll have some real-world data. I'll post up the results here for anyone not on FB. rj1986 and Daveoc33 1 1
rj1986 Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 Yeah it was more thinking out loud more than a business idea. I suppose the easiest route would be to find a BTC mk2 or a couple of jefftron a and send them to be reversed engineered

Skara Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Any updates? I must have missed it, not a fan of microswitches because they are still mechanical parts subject to stress and breakages (not that optical/magnetic sensors won't break, but they don't have actual forced applied to them) but if it works well it could be a cheaper alternative to Peruns and Titans for those who can't afford these units!
