Not even reading what you just posted as you talk in circles.
Results not that surprisingā¦
Bringing back the childhood memories.?
Gonna leave yours as gold, or repaint ti black.?.?
Iāll admit the results are a little disappointing, it was advertised at 200+fps, it doesnāt appear to live up to its claim,
probably wouldāve saved money buying from m16a1 like you and purchasing the ātracerā which isnāt a tracer and tried to find the foregrip to buy separately
If I could find the foregrip, but havenāt so far
You want that dollar pay passed?
itāll do 200 fpsā¦
If you shoot vertically downā¦gravity assisted descentā¦!!
Or maybe jump down from a ladder, firing through a stationary chronoā¦!!
Lets call the pizza bet a drawā¦until next timeā¦!!
Dollar bet.!
I was getting better results last week with other gels
Yeah rito
200FPS from that was always a dubious clam from the seller. seems the blaster has the same performance stats as the real steel.
Which is not to say you couldnāt get it up there with some extreme upgrades⦠but how many times it would cycle before going all Chernobyl on your arse would be a bit of a lottery.
Best to leave it stock and just admire the form factor. Hey, youāre one of the few who actually have one.
Well there you have it. As requested we have a winner.
Now somebody owes Shadow Pizza, canāt argue with those results.
Gold finish looks great on it. Nice one
Found the foregrip
$35 from ihobby
sold out at x-force and command elite hobbies
If anyoneās chasing one
Just wanted to share, thereās a new version going around with some new attachments added to the package:
Interestingā¦
But, it makes it look like an arp-9ā¦not a tec-9.
The arp-9 has better performance and longevity than a tec-9, so I donāt think Iād bother dressing it upā¦
Ah, different though⦠I like different.
Good point about the performance though⦠might as well just buy an ARP9.
Not keen on the colour to be honest, the extended muzzle looks alright but plasticy ASF
Maybe if the tec and muzzle was painted it would look better
Pass on the stock
Ooo black looks good like that tho
$75 at command elite hobbies
True, though its biggest advantage in China at least is itās price. Goes for around 10 USD and sits comfortably in poverty tier, aimed at kids just beginning to get into the hobby and also adults who just want to fuck around dual wielding these and not really care about them breaking. We got a couple dudes just running around akimbo style with these and itās a gigantic laugh fest every time.
Wow, $10 USDā¦thatās cheap.
Around $80 AUD here.
Mind you, we have to pay shipping, import taxes, gst etcā¦
They literally must cost $4 to makeā¦
Makes sense, people buying them as ā breakable / disposable blastersā¦ā.
Too bad you canāt really do too much, to mod themā¦
Cheap way to get a smaller extending stockā¦
For US$10 Iād buy one just for the stock⦠if I already had one, of course⦠which I donāt⦠and wonāt
Hey @shadow187 just wondering if youāve removed the TEC-9 Decals, on your -9 yetā¦
A few hints if you havenāt, and youāre interestedā¦
The big thing is, go slowly , and avoid really harsh rubbing.
Otherwise, youāll rub some softened plastic away, and mark the plastic.
To get a really good result, this is what i did.
i used those disposable presoaked cleaning wipes.
I used just a touch of turps , to start with. Only a really small amount at a time, otherwise it can chemically melt the plastic. Be patient, dont try to do it all at onceā¦gentle rubbing. Rub a dab of liquid soap on it afterwards, and rinse off.
I started off with turps, but then switched to Tamiya Paint Remover. Its about $20 from a hobby shop. It removes paint really well, and doesnāt seem to attack plastic as much as turps does.
Go slowly, dont try to do it all in one hit. Do 2-3 mins, be happy with removing just a little more, rinse off and go slowly. Four sessions or so should do it. Avoid using earbuds, you can press really hard with them and scour the softened plastic. Finger pressure using a wipe is fine.
You may already know all of this, but its good guff for any others who may have been interestedā¦
Nah Iāll probably leave it as is.
At least for now.
But cheers for the procedure tips, Iām sure theyāll come in handy for anyone looking to remove painted markings on the Tec 9ās as well as other blasters.
Cheers
+1 to that extended muzzle. Kinda makes it look like a different gat
