So… The magazines…
Tight, tight, tight…!!
Thats the feed gate cover flap.
Its soooo tight, with no room.
I needed to use the fine tip of something sharp ( see…i needed the axe!!) to open it.
This was unacceptable, so out with the dremel.
Had to remove some from the front, and angle the underside, to get a finger tip in.
Now its all sorted. Standard M4 mag compatible.
Opening the blaster at the back is easy… 1pin out.
This exposes the battery cover ( with cloth cable protector…good idea) and the rear of the gearbox.
This makes for quick and simple spring changes.
All metal spring retainer, so a candidate for any custom spring mods.
Now, performance…
Its got a proprietry nylon gearbox, with metal gears.
The supplied spring is the same size as a M95, but thinner…250-260 fps.
Grouping is VERY tight, at standard spring setting…very long barrel.
The M95 goes in easily, with a little bit of pressure to close the box.
This yields about 320-330 fps, with still pretty decent groupings.
This is pretty much the sweet spot…good performance, pretty good gel accuracy, and minimal extra stress on the gearbox. All good for long term use.
The M100 yielded the big numbers above.
370-390 fps… with sorta reasonable grouping.
The spring is TOUGH to get in, a lot of pressure going in and closing the gearbox.
My gut feeling is, not a good idea for proprietry pieces out of circulation.
Big numbers now…big bang later on.
Lets not go there… and try to hunt for parts.
M95 Feels about right…without overstressing anything.
Should you desire a dollop more grunt…this is a good candidate for a 'custom M98 cut-down" spring.
Metal spring retainer would stand up to any scuffing.
These results were achieved using Cyber trigger small hard purples.
This blaster seems to like smaller gels.
I tried some slightly larger gells when i first got it home, and had feeding issues.
Jamming, building up , and flopping out at 160 fps.
Clearing it all , and using smaller gels, and it runs smoothly.
