Recieved my MP9 last week and have the following observations.
Pros:
Its well made, no rattles at all which is suprising for a blaster.
The nylon body feels very nice.
Its small! A really nice compromise in size i felt. The foldable stock is solid and actually pulls into the shoulder nicely, at the right length for my grip at least.
It was cheap - $149 at the time.
Negs:
FPS - averages 152 fps in my chrono tests. Tactical Edges ad says 200 fps+.
The retailer - I am so sick of these pricks lying. I would not have bought it knowing it was so weak shooting, even though it was the replica factor that most interested me. Another dodgy lot to add to my shit list and dump on here for eternity.
Note: tried both ultra hard gels and some larger, softer orange ones (unknown brand)
It’s always a bit of a letdown when something doesn’t measure up performancewise.
I wouldn’t be too disappointed with the average FPS though… you’d know something that tiny is going to be running a pistol gearbox and any non-GBB pistol is going to be struggling to get much over 180FPS by design. Never going to get high figures out of one, certainly not like an AEG rifle.
Maybe try WI Heavy milkies in it… they’re usually on the bigger side. Have you measured up your inner barrel to see what you’re working with?
It’s a very cool piece though, and looks really good… I’d be proud to add one to my collection of SMGs just on the appearance.
Its also worth mentioning, the mp-9 comes with 2 sights.
one is a top mounted, pops open red/green dot system, the other is a side mounted , adjustable laser pointer.
We know how good ebay cheapies are, and these are included free…
More about dressing the blaster up, which it does…
For those with limited capacity to read Chinese characters
LH is a Chinese brand. Countless players in China have optimized this launcher. The muzzle velocity can reach 75+m/s, and the fastest rate of fire can reach 50+. The current original price is 188 yuan, and the accessories are optimized. a lot of.
And we will use water bombs with a diameter of 7.3mm and heavier and harder masses (such as 10kg pressure-resistant water bombs). These water bombs are difficult to crush, which can make the muzzle velocity more stable and the trajectory more impressive.
Hey i bought this gun from a website in white and blue and looks like its pre-used? I cant get a refund because i havent realized it until like 5 months later when i found dried up orbeez in the insides. Ive had this gun for a while and was wondering if anyone can help me fix it so it fires. Im thinking its the mag (i got a drum one coming), but when i shoot the gun, it wont come out. Then when i take the mag out, a bunch of orbeez come out. If yall need a video or something, reply please. Also heads up to anyone buying this, the mag release IS VERY sensitive, so I recommend shooting right handed. Second, buy separate gel pellets because the ones that it comes with are cheap. lastly i found that SPLATRBALL gel pellets are WAY better than most of the ones i tried. Dont get glow in the dark ones or cheap ones because they dont feed well.
First off, we encourage new members to head on over to the “Introduce Yourself” thread first up and tell us a little about themselvesfl, country of origin, what sort of blasters you like or have, etc. We try to discourage the use of the word “gun” wherever possible, due to legalities we refer to them as blasters here in Australia. This helps us keep Joe Public aware that these are toys we have an interest in, not real steel.
It helps us help you if we know where you are, as this is predominantly an Australia based forum, although we have picked up some internationals recently. So not all our advice may be relevant in your country, I’m guessing you’re in the States?
With your MP9, if gels are falling out of it when you take the mag out, it won’t be your mag that’s the problem. Is the blaster cycling okay? If you can hear the blaster cycle but nothing’s exiting fhe barrel it’s likely a broken tappet spring. You can check by taking your mag out and cycling the blaster while you look down into the t piece through the magwell. If the nozzle isn’t moving back and forth with each cycle it’ll be that tappet spring. Repair requires a teardown and replacement.
I bought many new blasters that have had dried gels in the mag. The rest looked new no blemishes so I put it down to the manufacturer or vendor testing them at some stage.
The dried gels also caused feeding problems from the mag. Try disassembling the mag to get all of them out and see if that helps. Worked for me in the past.
Thanks for the recommendation, it might actually be the mag because i dropped it, but there is no sign of dry gel pellets. Im getting a new one anyways.
Thanks! Ill try buying a new one. Plus i did not know this was an Australian forum, so my apologies for using that word. Do you have any recommendations for where to buy the tappet spring? Also when i shoot the mp9 i can hear the firing, i just think the feeding is the issue.
What word Always been the only Australian forum for blasters as there was nothing else besides reddit and discord which… yea good luck with those platforms. In saying that if you don’t like it here easy to move along. I don’t know why some get their knickers in a twist over their own bad day.
A way to check your mag function is to power it with a 9v battery separate from your blaster with gels in it to see if that is the problem or not.
I just suggested that blaster is preferred over gun when we refer to these hunks of plastic.
@Gelblasterfun absolutely no apologies necessary, matey. If you head over to the real steel thread you’ll see we like our bang bangs as much as anyone.
Take the mag out. Get a 9v battery. using 2 small pieces of wire, connect the battery to the magazine terminals.
This will power the mag, and you should hear the mag motor running.
Also check the springs on the blaster , to make sure they are reaching the mag terminals. A gentle stretch, can help them extend, as can a dab of dia-electric grease (electricity conducting grease).
Finally, if the mag motor is working, pull the mag apart. Some gels can dry, shrink back to sticky grains of sand size, and jam up the feed line. They cant be shaken out, you need to pull the mag apart to clean them out.
Thats why its important to fully empty your mags after use…
Thanks! I just bought a tappet from a website i know. Illl keep yall posted once o get it! Also the word is the word i cant say because of Australias legal stuff. Im just going off what friendly_fire said.
It’s no big deal… just a hangover from the old days.
There’s no serious issues with using the word gun, it’s just a habit we’ve gotten into because a lot of public perception over here is that gel blasters are evil tools in the hands of homicidal maniacs who will bring about armageddon if not heavily regulated… or banned outright.
It’s good to have you onboard… nice to get a snapshot of what the hobby’s like in other countries… although we do envy you for your airsoft.
Ooo I missed that part. Lot’s of posts makes it hard to follow at times.
I’ve never pulled a LH MP9 gearbox apart so that tappet return spring being for a V2 would likely not fit I posted above.
It’s like a V5 gearbox by the looks.
Maybe a whole gearbox replacement could be the go. Cheap enough.
