ACR/R at 345fps. Had a couple of misfeeds (does it all the time). Ran without a problem without discernable change in accuracy
Standard CYMA / JUND M4 - not a problem and accurate
Old gen8 A1 AUG - no problem
AA 2011 - no problem
We Tech 4.3 2011 - no problem and this one usually chomps up Elites
E&C G19X - no problem
Results are subjective but the gels have been hitting my can targets and knocking them about at 12m. They are certainly harder than elites and better result from the pistols
3 hr update
Around 60 gels were bigger than 7.3mm, but they ran OK in the Jund with 7.5mm barrel
Test fired smaller than 7.3mm gels with
ACR/R 7.3mm barrel at 345fps. ran OK - no jams
Standard CYMA / JUND M4 - not a problem and accurate
Old gen8 A1 AUG - didn’t like them (starting to think I might have put a 7.3mm barrel in it
AA 2011 - no problem
We Tech 4.3 2011 - chomped up a couple of gels
E&C G19X - took the top of one gel but the rest were OK
4Hr Grow
No discernible difference to 3 hour grow. 4.3 didn’t like them. A1 Aug wasn’t as fussy (might have had some crap in the barrel on previous test)
Batch Left Soaking for over 24hrs
No discernible difference in growth rates between 3hr, 4hr and 24hr grow time
24hr ran through E&C G19X without issue. Ran OK in old manual glock with same performance as elites
Overall
Initial impressions are that they are better than Elites and AKAs. Certainly the pistols liked the 2 hour grow. Still need to do 30m test later in the week.
Awesome post article and great information for everyone here
I am happy to see that maybe Vas’s long term quest of trying to find some decent quality all round gels seems to have paid off!
Can concurr that the old Gen8 powered blasters do love 7.5+ mm Gels, yet modifying to run 7.2-7.3mm barrels for modern smaller/harder gels gives fantastic results
I still believe that’s mainly due to the old Gen8 larger T-Piece/Nozzle diameter not being able to feed/fire modern small diameter gels
No problem. I have some of these gels coming and i can do a weight test with my digital grain scales from my archery days weighing arrow shafts. Will post up some results when i can.
Just ran the original batch of gels that were brewed 10 days ago through my old BF MP7, E&C G19X and DB G22. Ran without a problem, except for E&C which didn’t like the larger 24hr growth gels. Forgot how much fun the MP7 is. Easy 30m with iHobby hop-up at 200fps.
I’ve done a small bottles worth with filtered tap water over night, at work now so I can sit there and measure but will do when I get home just to see.
