So for the Lehui either Vector or AUG it needs that shot counter on off switch up the front left of the gearbox which is wired back to the DTU to count the semi and burst same like the original? For the T238 to work.
Way I read it’s programmable. But my chinglish is not the best 
Okay…time for an in depth look.
Newbies to the forum may not know, i had a custom built PR , built from a kit by Xforce, a couple of years back. I’ll include this in the comparo, to highlight the different features. NEW will be the new release model, OLD will be my older custom. There’s a bit of ground to cover…
First, external pics…my OLD custom is in the middle, and has the brown tip mag, for identification…
Overall, my OLD kit model, is a bit darker, which i like.
Darker olive, darker cage, darker clasps, darker barrel and darker stock.
Nothing wrong with the NEW scheme, but having seen both, i prefer the darker, on the olive scheme. The black PR could almost go for a full strip down, full jet black paint job, and go full midnight black, spec ops.
I’m even contemplating giving the olive, a ‘Weathered Brown Bess’ job.
This would make it unique, and you wouldn’t care then, if it picks up a few more scratches and dings.
I call this one, the ‘Horrible Racist Grandpa trump’ photo…
"Did you see that other PR…??
It was fine, then all of a sudden, one day, it went black…
I don’t know when it decided it was black, but there are fine PR’s on both sides…
Look at my cage, i have the Biggest Cage, tremendous, all those other cages are so short…
I have a bigger pump too, you need tremendous hands, to cock it…
Make Acheron Great Again…!!!"
Back to the serious stuff…
BATTERIES:
OLD: My custom runs fine on 11.1v, around 1500 r/min, at about 360 fps.
Its a weird shape, a custom battery to fit in the small slot. This battery wont fit into the NEW one. Both are mini tamaya.
NEW: running on 7.4v, until I hear its safe to run higher voltage. Doing about 600 r/min, but my battery might be a bit old. You must use a tiny NANO battery, mini tamaya, as the slot is even smaller in the NEW version…
9V Battery: its a very tight fit. EVERYTHING IN THE MAG WELL IS TIGHT, AND NEEDS TO BE HANDLED GENTLY.
The connector is strong and fairly thick , but be careful removing the 9V. I’d use a small flat screwdriver to gently lever it out. Also, dont leave the 9V battery in there for long periods, it could corrode on, and you would be unable to remove the battery from the terminal. remove when not in use.
MAGAZINES:
Mags are not interchangeable, as terminals are in a slightly different position.
OLD: mine is a custom, cut down thommy mag.
As such, it is fully electric, has a loading gate, and works fine.
Slightly smaller than the NEW one. High 11.1 v ROF sees it empty quickly.
NEW: (Vas put a lot of work into these). New design, spring mag.
Its actually pretty easy to use. Pull the bottom off, pull spring mechanism out. Pour in your gels, fill it up, then put spring back in to compress. While spring is compressed, slide base back on.
It works really well, feeds well. it DIDNT crush a full mag of xforce pinky’s so you should have a wider variety of gels to choose from, not being limited to ultra hard only.
The NEW one, has a mag prime on the charging handle, my OLD one doesn’t.
They had to custom build the terminals on these, the originals were wind up mags…im a little concerned about the thin wiring of the terminals, particularly if gels get held up there. Clean them out regularly, to avoid pressure on the wires.
MAG CAPS:
I will shout this, so every one hears, and there is no doubt…
BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL.
THESE WILL BE THE FIRST TO BREAK, IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL…!!
as a caution, EVERYTHING in the mag area needs to be handled GENTLY.
This is not a blaster, for rough and quick mag changes.
Getting the mag in is a bit fiddly, as it feeds in on a guide rail, which can be a bit difficult to find.
I find, what works best, is to turn the blaster upside down, lay it on a flat surface, and then you can gently wiggle the mag in. Listen for the click of the microswitch.
It is fiddly, if the mag is not 100% in the correct position, the end cap will not go on properly and click into position. You can have the mag feeding, and the end cap only ‘half on’. this leaves pressure on the end cap arms (dont want that), and not being secured properly, it could fall off and get lost. (dont want that). If its on properly, you will hear the click as the retention arms click into place, there is no tension on them , and no pressure on the mag either. Try it a few times, without the mag, to get a feel for them.
They currently have no replacement mag arms, so be careful.
PERFORMANCE:
OLD: my custom does 1500 r/min at about 360fps, on xforce pinky’s. With Metal gears in a nylon gearbox, with a M100 spring. I put this down to Rays skill, good parts, and good V.E. with a longer double bell barrel. I’m sure performance like this could be acheived with a bit of work, but i’m in no hurry to open one up…
NEW: Ive only tried xforce pinky’s , doing about 310 fps, around 600 r/min. As stated , this could be due to the older battery.
Quite acceptable OOTB, and spray pattern is not too bad. A few fliers, but “gel standard normal” is how i’d describe it.
COUNTDOWN METER:
OLD: mine doesn’t work very well, i suspect it is too sensitive, and counts down very rapidly. i.e. fire 3 gells, it counts down 12 or 15 numbers.
NEW: Performs flawlessly. It doesnt count down when the trigger is pulled, it needs passing gells to count as they travel past. But, it works perfectly, 3 shots on semi, and it counts down 3.
A 5 gel burst ( you can count with lower r/min) , it goes down by 5.
Goes to zero when mag is pulled out, resets to 95 when a new mag is inserted.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Phew, that was a mouthful, even for me…!!
I reckon Vas has done a good job in bringing these in.
As long as you are aware being careful around the mag area, you should be fine.
Not really a game day blaster, small mags that are hard to change on the fly…unless you had a game where everyone had pulse rifles…!!
But, its a iconic blaster, if you want one, you will grab it because of its sci-fi appeal.
People might complain about the price, not being metal, but for the time and effort into converting them, you wouldn’t get them any cheaper.
Its better to complain about the price, rather than not being able to buy one…!!
I know cost of living is an issue for many, but i reckon a few could find there way into xmas stockings, with some time to save…
I think there will be a few people over the moon, they can finally have one.!! 
Very comprehensive review, well done 
Yeah I wouldn’t think too many people would be smashing around fields wielding one of these puppies after the waiting and dollars they’ve invested in them!
300+ FPS is pretty awesome too, pretty good numbers for what was essentially a movie prop blaster!
Oh I’m over the moon alright! Still fapping off to the first pic… Saved me money to the knock shop so I’m ahead already. You had me at turn her upside down and lay it down then gently wiggle. I’m sold
Lets be honest, it was trump porn that got you over the edge…
( Recreating Hicks /Ripley instruction scene, with trump / putin)
" Yeah , thats it vlad, hold me closer, bring me in, and show me that big gun …
Pump action you say…i wanna do it all…
I might need two hands, mine are so teeny, compared to your big strong manly hands…
Ooh…whats this tube going down my throat…i cant breathe…more daddy!!"
Excuse me while i go vomit now…!!
Great overview, BME… 
thanks for sharing your impressions, we’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Awesome stuff.
I think that for the work that’s gone into them they’re priced very reasonably… My hat’s off to Vas and the crew for rolling the dice and bringing them in. I’ve got a feeling your OG build years ago had a fair bit to do with that decision… 
It’s like I said the other day, ergos and practicality don’t come into your thinking with these PRs. Little foibles like tricky mag loading and slightly fragile components (read : Handle With Care) are things you’re going to be prepared to live with because at the end of the day, you’ve got a PR gel blaster and that’s just cool.
.
Great review. Fans and collectors should be very happy to have a functional likeness of the legend!
Price of admission might be steep, but given smaller numbers they will definitely hold their value.
It certainly helps when Vas is known to be more of a Sci-fi/movie geek than a firearms lover!
Certainly went the extra mile to get something not only for the customers, but also something high on his own wish list
WTF Definitely not this morning sunshine Damn
Oh come on now 10mm caseless. Sigourny said so herself. That fks any alien up
Ok… a bit of a ‘day after update’…
First of all, performance.
I tried a different 7.4v battery, and ROF was about the same.
Mind you, the battery is about the same age, so there’s that as well…
Fps was 325, from freshly brewed xforce pinkies, so its happy with them.
I havent really tried any other brands yet.
I did a ‘short controlled burst’ , on 11.1v and got the following…
Pretty reasonable results.
My OLD custom, still does 1500 r/min, at 350 f/sec so its still a winner.
Now, this brings me to the battery…
battery space is a bit of a pain in the ass.
As it stands, in the battery compartment, it has a weird ‘blocking plate’ that just takes up room and creates an obstruction…
I dont know why its there.
I dont think its needed for rigidity, my custom doesnt have it, and it works just fine. Also, pumping the slide back does create a little bit more internal space. Maybe its designed to keep a certain battery, from rattling around.
The ONLY battery that currently fits, from my mini-tamaya battery collection , is the 7.4v nano. And it JUST fits. Just.
If this can run fine on 11.1v it would be my preference to do so. MY smallest 11.1v battery (JST plugs) DOESN’T fit. Its just a bit too wide, whereas the slimmer 7.4 passes through.
I dont know why the hell its there, but the easiest way, to get the smallest 11.1v battery through ( after you’ve changed the plug) is to remove some of that barrier.
It appears to be a thin wall, so turning it upside down and giving it a good hard run with a long hand file, should get it nice and wide (easy @maiphut) . Or, a long reaching dremel bit. Turning it barrel to the ground,would have all the debris fall down and out, and save having to open it up. The battery wires are mounted near the front, so are out of the way.
Maybe its there, so you can choose the battery of your choice, and 'custom fit ’ the wall, to create custom retention space…
I know it would be a headfck to take a file to this prized possession so soon… but hey, it’s yours mate and ya gotta do what ya gotta do to make it more functional for your requirements… so go for it mate! 
Finally, Zen and the art of Reloading.
The mag release lever, opens a mechanical gate, in the magazine guide rail.
It needs to be held up (to keep the gate open), for magazine In , and Out.
Its much harder to do, when holding it with one hand, holding the lever up, swapping mags with the other hand, locating the guide etc , all while upright.
So, my method is this…
1: lay it flat, on its back.
2: hold mag release lever, in the release posn.
3: Change mags. make sure new mag has no gels in feed tube, or they’ll just fall into the mag space (dont want tension on wires)
4: Release lever, and check mag is locked.
5: ‘ROLL’ THE MAG CAP ON.
This is the best way, to get it to fit 100%, with least amount of stress on the arms.
Rather than pushing it down, flat from above, start with about ‘10-15 degrees of bank’ , with the low side being on the digital counter side.
This allows you to locate the arm , on the counter side. When its in place, gently ‘roll it down flat’ , to the other side. You’ll hear it click as it engages.
This method allows you to lock in one arm at a time, minimising stress on the arms. Rather than smacking in it in from above, struggling to locate it properly, and using even more force to try to force it in.
I reckon they’ll see a few broken covers before long…!!!
