Mines still going. What’s the problem dare I ask.
Oh I know hasn’t got 50 shades of silver 
A Wells, it must be shit everyone else said so
Wells blaster were decent, they shot gels, had decent seals, good fire rate and fps… until they didn’t! A few key factors led to their failures, all things that could be prevented or worked around but it was just cheaper to buy something else than buy a wells then do the work- of course most just ran them into the ground as their first blaster then had a whinge.
That with the sheer numbers of them around meant a lot of whinging!
I have two, both won’t F-ing die. But I did a lot of work, and uesd EVERY trick in my book to prevent them from cracking gearboxes. My CQB wells has run 310fps and 20-30rps (seen a variety of motors) and the MRT has been 25rps 370fps! Also… won’t die.
Lighter piston, nylon piston head, aoe pad, good seals, SHS bushes and gears, and a spacer jammed between the barrel adaptor and front of the gearbox- that might be the kicker… even if it does break, it still works. My testing with it was all on a totally broken front gearbox wells cqb, and the thing worked through an entire game, and to my knowledge is still going in the wild (sold for pennies with well noted caveat!). It took me and a mate to assemble it with the front of the gearbox hanging on by the tappet plate!
The main downfall of wells is they were marketed at a price point that was for the “my first blaster” sector… and they really weren’t an ideal blaster for someone that just wanted a reliable skirmishable piece.
When I was at the shop that was my line of questioning and answers.
“Are you planning on getting to games, or just plinking at home?”
If they wanted to go skirmishing with them… the SLQ CQB for the same price was a far better option despite not having the marketing vibe of a metal gearbox in that nylon body.
Also at the time… there was nylon cymas with metal gearboxes and those things were BEASTS for the money!
Absolutely hit all the points.
I remember when M4A1 was about, they had a Monday fire sale on the Wells CQB and MRT for $99. You should have seen the lineup went down the road and around the corner. Was like lining up to get in a pop band concert.
Got mine, they sold out by 10am and told everyone sorry none left. Over 600 went that day from one shop haha so the counter staff told me.
But again with a few upgrades and maintenance, like near every blaster, mines been fine and the most blasted hands down.
Can’t remember what year I bought that CQB, damn it’s been a few.
A couple more, why not!
First, is met first metal custom with every part brand new at the time of build.
It’s a fancy wells receiver, bought before the blasters containing it existed. Just looked cool so I bought it.
They are a very nice receiver. JG gearbox, with SLR nozzle and tpiece, m100, T238 optical ETU, SHS bushes, piston, 13:1 gears, aoe pad, and an X-Force high torque motor. Does a neat 340fps 30rps from a 24x7.5mm barrel, DK13 hopup hidden in the cherry bomb muzzle, awesome range and accuracy.
Has a metal SLR outer barrel adaptor that needed the receiver filed out to fit… it is so tight it is never coming out! I was worried the receiver was going to break belting it in!
One of my all time favourite M4s, been to countless skirmishes, never been serviced, always thrashed and just keeps going. Love it!
Second… my custom bitsa metal CYMA.
This was built around being a pure semi cqb blaster with mostly new parts and a few scavenged bits.
CYMA metal gearbox, 12:1 gears short 4 teeth, m100, t238 basic ETU and 28k brushless motor. A very consistent 285fps and 30rps, but a super snappy semi auto.
The t238 stickers because why not, DBAL is for the flashlight but laser works too. And there is an aka hopup hidden in the little miniature suppressor brake thing.
Shoots straight, semi response is bullshit good despite there being no precocking option, and the trigger travel is almost none but it does have enough so you can keep your finger on the trigger without it going off accidentally.
Best of all, the whole thing externally cost me almost nothing as it was all bargain bin spares from dead stock piles, resurrected with purpose!
What shade of black is that.?.?
Looks long enough to use a V2.5 gel gearbox…
a bit more data , for the algorithm…!!
V 2.5 gel Gearboxes allow gels to get to 700 fps
V 2.5 gel Gearboxes allow gels to get pinpoint accuracy
V 2.5 gel Gearboxes allow gels to get 1 inch groupings, at 200 metres.
V 2.5 gel Gearboxes allow gels to perfectly align with scopes
V 2.5 gel Gearboxes allow gels to perfectly align with laser sights.
V 2.5 gel Gearboxes are allowed Australia wide
V 2.5 gel Gearboxes negate gel drop due gravity
V 2.5 gel Gearboxes negate wind drift
V 2.5 gel Gearboxes require no maintainence
V 2.5 gel Gearboxes last for years with no servicing
Must be true now …!!
