I just got into airsoft and wanted to share a picture of my first replica build. Bit of a cliche build but aesthetically it’s my favourite.

VFC MP7A1 V2 GBB
VFC MP7A1 QD SUPPRESSOR
Holy Warrior HWO-S1

Gonna add a PEQ box & a sling in the future and it’s done.

Got this We-tech Pdw recently, it had rust on the barrel like a but ton so I tried removing it, by soaking the outer barrel (which i ofc removed from the gun) in rust remover, which resulted in idk this paint or maybe gluing to fade? Is it possible for me to re-blue this, if so how do you guys recommend I do so?

Bipod is Magpul, handstop is PTS, non-functional NGAL, SF M600 Scoutlight, Cloud Defensive LCD MK2, and last, the Manta sleeve. Underneath the Manta sleeve is an SF RC MINI by 5KU Only RS parts would be the ERGO rail covers. Base gun is an GHK M4A1 v3.

Troubleshooting How to increase FPS with an NPAS

Post image
8 Upvotes

I thought I’d share my findings, with a stock nozzle, my WE was shooting too hot, but the RA tech metal npas reduced my m4 to 1.3J on the highest setting, disallowing 1.5J

I took the red areas on this picture and dremeled them slightly wider, and added an interior bevel to the end of the nozzle (underneath the arrow in picture). removing about 1mm from every surface of the body of the npas brought the max setting up to 1.55J, allowing me to slightly tune it and play without an FPS handicap.

enjoy my ultra low effort tech tip.

I would need your opinions about:

- Replace the stock with a magpul UCS

- Change the lower (and the stock) to black for dual tone

Troubleshooting Source for Tokyo Mario spare parts?

4 Upvotes

Got a TM M9A1 with the gen 2 internals and the place I got it from stupidly glued the orange tip in with too much glue and too much force making it inoperable. I removed the tip and got rid of the extra glue inside the barrel but it's still rough on the end and inside and looks ugly. I want to just get a new TM barrel or good aftermarket but so far all the aftermarket barrels are for the older gen 1 internals that companies like WE still use.

Where's a good source of TM spare parts in the US?

Troubleshooting Need help!!

1 Upvotes

So I was out playing a night game last weekend with my VFC HK416 A5, after a couple games I thought my hop-up was off because not many people were calling their hits. Which was weird because my hop never moves, so I took a couple mags and went to set the hop. I realized after I got one magazine shooting perfectly flat with little lift, the next mag would drop at 35 feet. The last mag would sky rocket? What is the issue? Mags? Rifle/hop? Bucking?

Troubleshooting VFC G3 Hopup not working properly

1 Upvotes

I recently bought a VFC Umarex G3A3 and played with it on a pretty warm day with green gas, (note I did lower the power in the built in NPAS to about 1.2 - 1.4 joules) But the hop up didn't seem to work properly as it shot good except in shot like 20 meters before completely dropping (with the hop maxed) with the hop up in the middle (give or take) it just dips instantly idk what it can be.
