Given "hand-me down" m4 cqb. What manufacturer?

And what should I do to maintenance wise?
What upgrades are a necessity?
Only owned Gbb pistols.
Help please


It doesn’t shoot the gels. They come up the mag. Then they fall out when I remove mag. So getting jammed somewhere. Trying to find decent video to explain these things.
I think it is a "wells m4 cqb ".

Imthe mag works but no gels are coming out it could be oversized gels, or a broken tappet plate or return spring. (one of the many “wells things” that can happen"

Check if air pulses out the barrel, and look up the tpieces to see if the nozzle is moving

Nozzle moves. No air comes out barrel. If I tap trigger I hear a metal “clunking” sound

Gel size ! I pulled it apart . Cleaned , and understood how it works, put it back together…
Then I stuffed a 7mm hard foam bb down barrel with barrel cleaning stick Instead of 7.3mm gel . Pew. If flew out. Haven’t tested the mag yet. I’m growing some 7mm gels. Don’t want to fill mag with foam bbs .

Gave it a good run. 7mm gels. It’s still very inconsistent. I wouldn’t be playing any cqb and counting on it shooting anything. I don’t know. About to give up on gel blasters . Theyre so tedious and inconsistent.

Seriously. Are there any makes that just shoot . None of this fucking around.? Lol

7mm is probably too small, usually stock aeg blasters around 7.3mm is perfect.
There isn’t much good to say about the nylon wells cqb unfortunately. They did work, but didn’t last long if an 11v was applied, and the gearbox was not really worth upgrading as they would flex and fail.

For nylon blasters the SLRs have always been my pick. They are a fair way up on price compared to a nylon wells, in fact at the time of the SLR CQB and wells CQB being the latest things, the SLR was rrp$299, and the nylon wells was $199, the nylon wells with the metal gearbox was $299, though the SLR nylon gearbox was far more capable!

What gels are you using? and how long growing for?

Green summer cats. I had 7.3mm for my pistols but they didn’t go through at all. Only success has been 7mm which I grew for 2hrs 45 min

So u think this will be less of a shitshow?

I don’t know how others view Double Bell, but I purchased their metal gearbox M4-SS when it first released. Shot above 320fps out of the box and was pretty accurate. Slow rate of fire but nothing a higher voltage battery couldn’t fix.
Their regular M4 would be identical. Just the handguard change. (I bought it because of 2009 MW2…)

Mmm looks very Wells things to me. Sorry late to the party but Rok already covered the possibles.

Or throw it in the bin and start again. :joy:

Bahahaha yeah I got both for $100 bucks . Both probably rubbish …

I own 5 gel blasters now. A collection of garbage. Lol. It’s taught me a lot pulling them apart and putting back together. I’ve never had the patience to do that kind of thing before. Though I’ve nearly thrown tantrums and sent them into a wall a few times. I walked away and tried again. Especially that g18 that had to be (unstuck). :laughing::laughing: Fark that sier spring for the automatic part. My god.!!
Is there such thing as a gel blaster that is build solid , fires when needed and not either confetti or nothing at all.? Or is this the nature of the game.?

Haha yea like I said in somewhere around here, if you haven’t got patience and prepared to put the time in on maintenance.

Maybe look at a CYMA. They are currently the most reliable you can get without draining the bank account.

Then you can have a sacrificial burning :rofl: :+1:

One of these might fit your bill :person_shrugging:

Though that Springfield is the most solid and well built gel pistol I’ve held . But… It has broken mag so never fired it. Lol. Ordered mag because no stores in far north qld anymore.

Man I’m willing to pay top dollar for something I’m proud of. And runs how I want it too. I’ve just been collecting garbage from marketplace because everyone around town just giving up on them.
I’m just hesitant to pay top dollar for something I can’t test fire or hold . Need to get online.

I zoomed in, I can’t tell but looks like a Wells dressed up by the crack heads at a retailer I won’t mention that threatened to kill me :rofl:

Doesn’t bother me, I said bring it ya pussy. Fkn druggos. :rofl:

Anyway when @RokSolid gets some time he knows them better than me and might be able to point you in the right direction.

If I finally own something worthy. Yes. I’ll melt all these down. And make a target out of the molten shit pile. A shrine to my introduction to gel blasters.

Bahhahah. Yeah. I was bored so I made a silencer out of a vitamin pill bottle. It’s off now. It wasn’t going to be taken out in public. I tried to cut out the shame in that pic. Well spotted

All good friend, why I pointed that particular one out. Reliable online ship to you, retailer been good for a long time.

$150 to your door. They are the go to for a few years now.

I see there is a Wells lower down for $200. They are good but take work.

Is that what you want, get an M4 then we’ll see about the 1911. I’m not experienced in those particular blasters but there was mag trouble I read.

Yeah rok mentioned slr. Looking at them. What’s the best gel gun you’ve owned? I know you’re all probably tired of my stupid comments. Like I said. No one up here that I can talk to about this. “Or tell me how bad my silencer look”. I needed that. :smile:

Doesn’t necessarily need to be m4
