Put it back togethther. Broke a tooth off a spur gear before it even turned over. Bummer. Dont know if its the longer spring or improper assembly that did it in. Metal gears ordered from zhen. As much as id like to try a metal box, I cant justify 100$ with shipping on a box that may or may not fit.
Will have a pvc outter barrel to hide everything later.

We dont know if the gearbox fits, so id skip for now. I wouldnt even reccomend opening the box as its a pain to close even if your familiar with whats inside. Im not sure theres much room for big improvments in this blaster, the gearbox, spring and cylinder is all pretty small.
Get a hopup, any that attach directly to the barrel would work. Not a thread on. The small/14mm rizer is a good hopup.
Otherwise a mag or 2, a speed loader and some decent gels are all good investments.
If you have a 7.8mm inside diameter barrel and can get it out of the plastic t-peice, replacing that with a 7.5mm one would help accuracy and range.
This is just an example, any alloy or āmetalā 7.5 barrel is fine. Just dont get 7.2-7.3mm or a steel barrel. Not needed for this case. Would cut it down to ~120mm and chamfer the cut end, reglue into t peice with just a small dab of hot glue.
When you want more, step up to something with bigger internals like an m4 or scar. Theres more aftermarket support, easier to work on and just for info on these.
The 2077 is damn cool looking, and im sad i broke it before i could give it to the kid - his birthday is next week. Its winter here so we arnt playing anyway.
Should have done what i told you to do. Hopup and barrel and call it a day!

thanks iām going to get another tube, the gel balls im using right now barely fire and most explode inside the barrel. keep in mind im in the US and just grabbing some gels from the shelf at walmart. do you have a recommendation for gels that wont flat out explode? also i prinited out an 14mm ccw attachment for the d-12 would a hop up still work? thanks so much!
yeah i was planning on grabbing a vector next or honey badger

Im in the us too, we arnt many!
If you can add a threaded adapter, yes a threaded hopup is fine. Usa gel ball purchases arnt frequent. Most sell the same garbage.
Any ausgel here is fine, but start with the milkies.
Otherwise I order from zhenduo or aliexpress. Slow shipping, questionable customer service but saves some change.
Aka tenacity or ābest bangā can be had from both and are generally decent.
Walmart gels SHOULD still fire mostly fine in this blaster. They are generally soft, mishapen and grown inconsistency. But generally work in lower powered stuff acceptability well. Grow them for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight in plenty of water.
Have you got a link to the metal gears that you ordered?
They have the nozzle too.
Shipping time 2-3 days to usa. From zhenduo! Its like its my birthday!

idk, maybe iām just doing it wrong iām using the gel baster brand . i soaked the gels overnight and now they only fire out of the blaster if i hold it upside down but the do fire pretty consistently then lol hereās a link to the file i use to print out the adaptor RX617 Desert Eagle Gel Blaster Replacement Barrel End With 14mm Counter Clockwise Thread by FlorianHahn - Thingiverse
Few things to look at. If you prime it, do you hear the mag motor going?
Do you have calipers to measure the gels? Too small of gels sometimes wont feed proper. They should be 7.3-7.5mm. If in doubt, soak them longer. For this case, you can let them soak for days or weeks.
Hell, iv got gells from 5 months ago sitting in water and are usable. Mishapen and a bit big, but usable. Thats not reccomended though!

thanks for the info sir, I couldnāt responded for a few days because my account was new, tell me do you have to keep priming your to get it to fire consecutively?

No, you should not have to. When you switch/refill a mag or occasionally in the middle real quick.
I would be amazed if someone managed to make a gel blaster version of the Militech M-10AF Lexington or the Malorian Arms 3516 (aka Johnny Silverhandās pistol).
Those are my 2 fav pistols from the game.

Waddaya mean you might have problems?
Youāve always been a nutcase from the very start! 
In my defence, I never said āmightā
I like! I have a similar, though not as nice supressor going on mine whenever new gears arrive.
Hows the stock attach?
