Needed a way to hide and protect the longer hop up barrel in my APC9K. Not the best colour match but figured I’d probably paint it anyway.

Classic black.
50 shades of….
Rustoleum is a decent go to spray can…
Finish can be a little rough, at times though…
I just use this stuff https://www.rustoleum.com.au/product-catalog/consumer-brands/specialty/camouflage-spray-paint. It’s what I used on real steel that wasn’t worth going the whole Cerakote shebang.

I don’t think it’s real, some things don’t add up. Mags look 3d printed or something going on. Blob goo going on back of frame. Dunno 
I meant to paint one in that scheme.
Current projects I brought up bush with me.
Unfortunately I forgot to bring the 3000W inverter to run my Soldering Iron and battery chargers!
But will do a run back to civilisation tomorrow to help out a mate and make sure to bring it back up with me.
Just fitted brand new period correct replica Props with all the right markings, along with some scale model paint additions……. just gotta finish off the electronics and track down some scale replica underwing 4Lb Rockets for the Typhoon, as well as glue on a full eight Rocket set onto the Corsair that just arrived in the mail.

You got a permit for such dangerous equipment?
Hmmmmmm🤔
He uses a standard TM gbbr nozzle but it shouldn’t be hard to modify it to fit one for gel.
He’s got quite a few projects there that are interesting and almost entirely 3D printed and use standard parts, and the files aren’t that expensive either.

Haven’t dabbled much lately, but the ol’ venerable Ze Hua M249 SAW got the treatment yesterday.
Out with the ZH gearbox and in with the Singularity box with upgrade Ausgel motor. Improved airseal thanks to the usual alloy upgrades. Chooches along nicely with a very SAW-like rate of fire.
Cosmetically, I’m on the hunt for faux 5.56 link, figure I can run a short length from the box mag to the fake ejection port, permanently attached to the mag.
Anyone know where I can get that 5.56 link from a supplier that isn’t airsoft? 
Hmmmm…
Anybody else old enough to remember Rowan & Martin’s Laugh In? 
Gave Goldie Hawn her start. She was hot in '67…

So…
The Minimi may have been choochin nicely… but it wasn’t impressing much on the chrono. Best it would do was about 200. 
It’s been apart together, apart together, apart together all friggin’ day and the last iteration showed 150. And of course, in ABS components like the grip that means stripped screws or broken screw posts 
where’s that gaffer tape.
Defintely airseal issues at the t piece… great compression at the cylinder head. Past that… no bueno. The Ze Hua unit was horrendous, about a .5mm gap all around. Pulling it apart, cleaning it and resealing it around the IB did precisely jack shit for FPS. Adding an o ring to the nozzle upped it temprarily but presented feeding issues.
So I’ll shitcan the project until I find a decent Gen 8 t piece and new inner barrel. I used to have shit tons of them lying around but for the life of me I can’t find one.
The other option is throwing it at the wall in disgust.
Gen 8 Jin Ming tpiece is the go, just need to trim a mm or two off the bottom to fit it in.
Yep… cheers for that, @RokSolid
JM t piece, 2mm filed of the length of the feedtube at the bottom, 270FPS. For a nylon geared Gen 8, good enough.
