[@jamescrabtree140]

can you do more content on this blaster please. like shiming the gears as its hard to measure the motor height and well just more on upgrading this blaster would be great, love your work.

[@jamiepes3296]

Nothing wrong with that mag it's cool easy to pull apart without tools to keep clean and do maintenance and I love how you can see how many gels you still have and it holds more gels than the M4 mags do

[@frostyblastercustoms7751]

You press the little button on mag and pop it out still a pain but works easier than the way you did it.

[@daz4456]

Blasters Mania already showed it fitting a gen 8, 9 and 10 mag. Gen 8 are seriously tight though, hard to get out. Can also confirm the gen 8 works in my one 👍. Also my stock mags brilliant, I guess someone had to get the crappy one though lol. Great review though, keep it up mate.

Can confirm that you can install a working mag prime switch and the nylon gearbox has cable management built on the fire selector side of the gearbox. Really good blaster and feels really solid. Good review mate.

[@MrMaton01]

Have you got any pics of your wiring? I've just seen what you mean by cable management - what I thought were vertical 'locator lugs' on the LHS of GB are actually 'Cable/Wire Tabs'. Small wire though / diameter? And what about after the switch, how do you navigate the back end where that nasty wire-eating block fits up snug against the rear end of the GB? Thanks for any info....

[@melekharn7943]

Hey team. I got one of these recently and took it to Donnybrook for a skirmish. I found that while the drum mag I have for my Gen 8.5 JM M4A1 won't fit, the mags for it work perfectly fine, they just don't hold as many gels. Wasn't hugely impressed with it overall, but it isn't as worked as my M4 is anyway.

[@no1aussiepaul]

Great review. But you made a mistake when you wound the outer barrel off you have to remove the 4 hex screws to split the gas reciever and remove the tiny grub screw that locks the outer alloy to the plastic faux gas receiver (it is a tiny little 2mm grub screw and very easy to miss. The steel rod at the front that runs the length of the barrel to the plastic gas port is used to adjust left right and up and down aim of the gels. I would still buy the front plastic barrel stabilizer that has come out for the J - 10 that sits between the barrel and fore stock.

[@brianharbrow]

Great videos mate, you'd think this bloke would get sponsorship from somewhere on reviewing thease things he's really good.

[@canny24635]

So my ACR takes gen 8 mags but not gen 9’s

[@markrobinson2196]

I have this blaster, bought in early April 2020 and all is the same, .... except the magazine. They have changed that to a mag that the same release as an RX AKM magazine, but this mag is not compatible as the terminals for the mag feed are on opposite sides of the feed tube as they are on the AKM.

[@johnwhear9600]

Looks like the black battery door is to hold the battery in place while allowing it to fire with the stock folded over. (Unlike the HE-E ACR, which won't fire).

[@lowguidoschopshop]

Yeah true, but they managed to make the SCAR open up and still work folded. It wouldn't be a stretch

[@johnwhear9600]

@@lowguidoschopshop Will the Scar hold a long round battery, or only the chunky rectangular ones? Maybe they were going for some sort of standardisation akin to what fits in a normal buffer tube, dunno.

[@lazzlazz8600]

John Whear , It certainly will👍

[@Jamoise]

something ive not seen covered, i have just got a metal upgrade kit, i can change everything, except the dust cover, it seems to be made to not be disassembled, i have it out of the acr, but it seems both ends of the guide shaft for the dust cover are fixed in a way that it won't come out unless you break it. and the guide rod needs to come out so you can slide the dust cover onto it.

[@GrimTransmission]

Did you ever figure out how to change the ACR to the metal dust cover? I opened mine up just to swap the charging handle to the other side and that was hard enough as it is. I really wanted to get that metal upgrade kit but after seeing the assembly i don't understand how they expect anyone to instal it.

[@heathbackhouse8587]

G’day there Guido , wondering if you can help , what’s your opinion on putting a 1.3 spring in a J10 ACR , been told it won’t last long ,so I said how long , with that I got told how long is a piece of string 🤯🥴🤨

[@MrTotoro7]

it's J10 coz it's nylon gbox shell haha. btw, stock gbox can withstand up to 1.5 spring or not until the gear/piston strip out?

[@lowguidoschopshop]

so is the J9 that now comes with the same nylon shell a J10?

[@MrTotoro7]

@@lowguidoschopshop yes

[@ryuujunichi7362]

The J8 mags do fit just very tightly. I've tried a few different style of J8 mags and they do work, just a very tight fit. The M4Ss mags how ever don't fit at all. The may catch is also very poorly designed in my opinion. It's a long and flexible piece of plastic that flexes as shots comes out of the barrel. I lost a may during a game because of that may catch flexing ans dropping the may. Anyway, love your content, hoping to see more

[@mikdonalds3956]

Yeah fuck proof reading!

[@Rvs8889]

do you have a video when you re-assemble the blaster sir?

[@jarrodfpv7459]

[@auxy960]

is there anyway of enabling this blaster to shoot up to 400fps

[@AangDknight]

Upgrade the gearbox, the hop up, spring and you're done. Oh, and also if you wanna make it fire faster, probably want to change the battery to 11.1v

[@COMMANDOx76]

Does it come with the tactical rail on handguard when u purchased it because most ACR J9 reviews i saw dont have the rail.. And where u buy it?

[@jamiepes3296]

Only top rail

[@jamiepes3296]

I took a picatinny rail off a spare vector cut it to size in screwed it on the bottom so I could put a laser sight or a torch on it

[@AangDknight]

AFAIK the J9/10 Gen didn't have under rail attachment, only the V2 have it.

[@jugan__5079]

Anyway to tighten the charging handle??

[@GrimTransmission]

No unfortunately. The middle of the charging handle has a notch that sits over a metal rod, so the way it's held in place is that it's sandwiched between said rod and either side of the dust cover. It's sturdier than it appears but it's not held in place by any screws so there's nothing to tighten.

[@lordsithous4406]

I'll be interested if good company's like Tokyo Marui or krytac make jelblasters... seems kinda hit or miss in quality.

Too bad they're only focused on Airsoft, not Water Gel Gun, but considering the price .. well ..

I own one thanks looks nice but the case it's self and that mag snap on first attempt so cloth tape and working 😠 now I've rewired it as the wire is not rated for the use, second the nylon case striped on first open so now the spring lock pin is lose and locks up on a 1.3 spring works on a 1.1 spring and for the switch well the lower one just fell out and that cheap china metal snaped and that spring is hard to find a replacement I also tryed a primer and the set on the switch if you note ground to the supply but it gose to the motor and clip so grounds at 3 plus amps burnt a couple of bits trying it but got it working so 555 timer 3 sec load runs on its own 3.7v 150mah battery volt up regulator board 8v out and a 555 chip 3 diode led and working also the original clip motor is way over rated so added a 5v to 5.5v down board and nice, aluminium barrel red, red cylinder, blue head and plunger green O ring and RZ hopup blue sanded the flash hider as it's just a bit big had a 1.3 spring but on the 1.1 spring current as the case is crap. Also took my bike kit on 4 3.7v supply and can run either 11.1v or 16.2v output on it but the battery I have even though it says 2400mah and 6800mah has less juice than the one sent liers😕 and I have on this one worked a setup to double that range so.
