AEG Flat or Conical Nozzle?

[@dominikkrejci2050]

I'm really glad that someone finally makes videos about problems that I have. For almost two years, I haven't found any video that could help me with my issues. Big like here!

Glad to hear that! If you have more questions or ideas, check out our discord community as well.

your point about gearbox angle reminds me of the G&G SR25 series where the angle of the gearbox is determined by a weird screw assembly between the gearbox and the lower that the stock screws into as well. I found setting the correct gearbox attitude with them almost impossible and actually had the best results removing the threaded extension that attached them to the spring guide so the gearbox's attitude wasn't affected by the stock at all. Between the rear pin, trigger pin, grip and hop unit the gearbox ends up sitting in the best position for feeding and airseal that way.

It's been quite a few years since i worked on one of those. Yeah i remember there's some wierd system there, also a terribly long nozzle that is difficult to replace. I remember having to modify the ID of an aftermarket nozzle to fit.

I do believe the flat nozzle is better at sealing, but in my experience the conical nozzles have better bb placement, and accuracy is better than with flat nozzles in some setups

[@PerfectAirsoft]

Yeah i agree. That's why i wanted to make this video about it.

Those ASG mags are a gift from God, and i own tons of different M4 mags from different brands, this ara by far the best ones, EPM mags are great but truly expensive, EPM-1 mags are a big turd but no one will say they cant put more than 100 bbs inside because they wasted a lot of money on them hahaha

There is some truths there 😂

Interesting thoughts. can you post links in the description to the slow motion videos you're referring to?

[@PerfectAirsoft]

Sure, if you check out this video it shows the midcap syndrome: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoDZeIyNZ8Z9nZo

@@PerfectAirsoft Thank you!

13:00 But a Delayer Clip for the Sectorgear only extend the opening time to feed a BB an dosent throw the Tappetplate further back... ?! But anyway, im my 25 Yeas into Airsoft, i never think about this! Very Good Video!

[@PerfectAirsoft]

Glad you like it! Check out the discord server if you want to talk more baout this as well. Some delayer clips wrap around the sector cam pin, and this causes a further pullback of the nozzle. There are also tappet plates that are "shorter", which means they pull back further as well.

Why do you assume that conical nozzles are by default longer than flat ones? A 21.15 conical is the same lenght as a 21.15 flat I get the point where a conical nozzle needs to be longer than a flat one to interface with the same bucking but who says you need to use the same bucking? The bagadi shp/mhp series of buckings are designed to interface with conical nozzles at the same lenght as flat ones I don't wanna disprove your video or something but a pointy thing is allways better at pushing other things to the side than a flat thing and the conical interface if done right offers at least like 20% more contact area between nozzle/bucking and is less prone to leak air in case the nozzle contacts the bucking off center so thei are kinda good imo

Thanks for your comment. You're right that a conical nozzle has an easier time entering / going over the BB stack, i highlight this in the video. My experience is that, barring midcap syndrome, flat nozzles seal better and feed better. Surprisingly, sealing on the front of the bucking lips work very well and has a consistent airseal on the whole surface area. A conicai nozzle will, in theory, suffer easier blowby the moment it's not centered. A conical needs to be longer by definition. If you take a flat nozzle that is sealing, and shave it down to a conical shape, it will no longer seal. Sealing at the front of the bucking lips is the shortest movement to sealing, and any other method requires a longer nozzle. Looking at the begadi bucking drawings, they seem to have narrowed the inside of the bucking lips. This is a no-go, as it can cause jams, and additionally, lips are soft and can expand outwards, so ultimately the sideways airseal is decided by the lips being squeezed between nozzle and chamber wall.
