Q&A #1: Air Bubbles, Retro Optics, Ballistics Controversy

[@ExplosiveEnterprises]

Our new merch store can be found at: xeairsoft.com/ Thank you all so much for your support! We're still getting a few details ironed out so please bear with us if any items are out of stock, but please let us know if there are any issues with worldwide shipping, or if there's anything else you'd like to see.

[@jasonli3638]

Any chances that international shipping costs for small items can be reduce (e.g. non-tracked regular mail)? I would love to have a patch from you guys but it's $21 CAD shipping for the $14 patch. No worries if this is the best you guys can do, love your content!

[@ExplosiveEnterprises]

@@jasonli3638 Thanks for bringing this to our attention- it looks like Shopify has some default shipping rate calculations that we are reasonably certain we can beat. Our guys are looking into it, so check back next week and hopefully we'll have a better shipping cost for you.

[@burningcanman7231]

I love when a new explosive enterprises video drops

[@Diavolo989]

I can't stress enough how helpful your content is for new airsofters like me that enjoy GBBRs. Without your maintenance and magazine maintenance video I wouldn't have gotten my first GBBR. Def. not alone in this. I recently got my 3rd gbb replica and been playing exclusively gbb for more than a year now. I sincerely thank you for all the work you good fellas put out there. Keep it up, I feel like GBB is becoming more and morw widespread thanks to recent interesting replica and your videos are exceptionally helpful for those starting out. Thanks again and have a great xmas and new year

[@maximilianglaus9811]

Thank you for your content. You guys gave me the confidence to get into GBBRs in an informed matter. I’m not looking back. You are by far the most important airsoft channel there is.

[@doodlepugg]

It really is refreshing to have some intelligence behind airsoft videos. There’s so much internet BS and ‘reviews’ which in reality are just commercials. I hope to see more of you and your team in future!

[@MrJose786]

This so needs to be a weekly show!!

[@2lbsTrigrPull]

Damn you convinced me for almost a minute that it's a channel about real guns! lol

[@recklessyuki]

I love your channel. Found it when I was trying to fix a mag leak in a Hudson Jericho. I’m in Japan so we don’t have access to the gasses other parts of the world are allowed to use due to Japanese laws. I would like to see a comparison of a VFC MP5 and a TM NGRS MP5 to see what I’m missing out on. I picked the NGRS because I want a bit of realism but don’t want to be limited to duster gas. Thank you for the videos you do and I hope this channel grows!

[@peter11256]

Awesome content as always mate. If I can suggest a topic for the next video: GBBR Accuracy, particularly at distances past 30 yards. What could be done to increase accuracy? Why GBBRs have much bigger vertical spread than AEGs at longer distances ? What affects accuracy the most (besides the obvious) ? Everytime you see GBBR and there is test shooting, it's always at 10/15 yards max.

[@MargiAirsoft]

Wow, I missed that video but now that I've seen it and you're not hostile to reviewing AEGs, I need you to review the PKM that's on the wall. I think it's interesting and relevant enough (that has nothing to do with the fact that I plan on getting one 😏). Looking forward to the next video installment !

damn I bet the guy that designed that Catgut hoodie has really nice hair

Retro flashlight/other parts guide soon?

cant wait for the optics video

[@walterbryan1798]

This channel has such great info for all kinds of airsofting.

[@questionablepotato4051]

Whats the best GBBR to start out with? In terms of interchangeable parts and reliance

[@Šuki-z4c]

So I’m kinda asking about an older gun but could you review the we-tech scar-H? There aren’t really any solid reviews out there about it that go nearly into detail as much as you guys do. If you don’t want to review, can you or anyone from the comments tell me how it is? I’m thinking about going with that for my first GBBR.

[@YoChocolate]

So I hope this isnt an idiotic question or based on shitty measurements done by me but: With four of my gas magazines Ive noticed that the one which I aquired the most recent produces just slightly more power (like 0.05 Joules) than the other three which already had some wear. So I had the theory that air had slowly creeped its way into the used magazines, so I purged one of them, let it get back to room temperature and it did indeed have around 0.05 Joules more energy, now equal to the new one. I also have low capacity magazines for that same gun which hold about 70% less gas than the long ones (the router and output valve and everything else at the top are in the exact same style though) and those always produce lower power and noticably less kick overall. Have you got any idea what could cause these?

[@thetwixlord]

Nice video as always! always enjoy watching your videos and often come back and rewatch the different reviews, even if I dont plan on buying the particular replica. I'll definitely look at buying som stuff of your shop to support you.

[@Solidsnake0208]

Great video as always

[@BaconSlayer69]

Great content dude keep it up 👍

[@sogerc1]

For me it was a WE Scar-H in 2019. And a good thing too, like EE said AEGs are all the same, I probably would've gotten bored with the replicas and abandoned the whole thing by now.

[@Lwaww]

It’s a good day when new Explosive Enterprises drops.

[@armor4186]

I like your pulse rifle shirt. I would be really cool if there was a live fire one

[@Womolik]

I would love to see you review the we m14, i have never seen it in person but i considered buying it and in process of research i found out that it isn't well designed gun lets say at least. There are a lot "we" style problems such as braking down trigger pack, poor magazine performance in cold weather and generaly very old magazine design. But it's the only m14 or ebr gbb on the market so it grew quite big community around itself dedicated to fixing this platform. In the end i personaly ended up chosing the vfc m110 as my first gbbr so I won't have to much problems with it from the start but we m14 still caches my attention.

[@shayederryberry8636]

I have one, what do you want to know? It’s an absolutely killer platform when set up right. Pair it with RA Tech internals, a TNT setup and a real wood surplus stock and it is 100% a stunner on the field that will break all kinds of necks. They sound sweet as well

[@Kefuddle]

Joule Creep: I have noticed this is only really a thing with tightbore barrels. I assume that std barrels tend to lose the excess pressure around the BB as it travels up the barrel. My GBLS also exhibits something I call “hop pop”, where the FPS goes up with increased hop tension, but only to a point. Coupled with the tight bore and what I assume is an excellent nozzle seal, with the additional hop tension the BB is held in place a moment longer whilst pressure builds up behind it resulting in increase FPS.

[@opairsoft8100]

The issue your GBLS is having is over voluming and thus joule creep when hop is applied

[@Kefuddle]

​@@opairsoft8100Thanks for that insight. I never thought of that.

[@wnddrake]

Heavy BB's are nice to shoot but man I hate getting hit by stuff >0.28g. I quit paintball 15 years ago because of the welts, and now airsoft is getting to be nearly as bad as heavier and heavier BB's become available on top of the RPS arms race.

[@gark64]

is that a Springfield Trapdoor behind you?

[@ExplosiveEnterprises]

Nope, it's a Nepalese Martini-Henry rifle converted to fire APS shotshells.

[@Revan638]

Joule creep is no concern in my country because we measure the joule with the bb Weight the player is using

[@arog7493]

Which is the only way it should be done, I have no idea why anyone would choose to do it differently. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

[@Revan638]

@@arog7493 yeah I agree

[@WolfMan-nf4lv]

“More than enough to kill anything that moves” I see what you did there lol

[@Kefuddle]

Regarding AEGs. The best Airsoft gun I have owed by a country mile is the GBLS. Not the best in any specific area, but as a some total, awesome. I would love to see your take on those. My other fave is the KWA AKR - a brilliant and awful rifle. Your skills to improve its weaknesses, turn it into an EBB (in addition to the the recoil) coupled with its realistic manual of arms would make this gun epic.

[@arog7493]

I'm curious, is there any specific reason as to why you guys haven't reviewed the VFC HK416s yet? If there isn't, is there a chance we might see one any time soon? I'm considering purchasing one and there is no one I trust more for reviews than you guys so it would be highly appreciated!

[@ExplosiveEnterprises]

Mostly just a lack of time and so many interesting new things coming out. We definitely would like to review the VFC AR system at some point, because right now it's our go-to recommendation for people looking to get into gas ARs- a realistic, efficient system that performs well out of the box. The only significant issue we've seen is that some guns have lemon hop units, in which case a modern GHK hop unit is a drop-in replacement, but otherwise they're great value for money. Just make sure the one you're looking at is a V3 and you're good to go.

[@arog7493]

@@ExplosiveEnterprises A fantastic response, given me enough confidence to make the purchase and hopefully I'll be joining the GBBR wizards very soon! Thank you very much for this, and all the work you guys do! :)

[@XLexieXBabyX]

Hey i have a simple question, it doesn't even need to be in a video, i just got the VFC M249 SAW (with the box mag as per your recommendation which you were right lol) how long do i need to hold the can on the fill valve to fill it, idk why but im afraid of overfilling it and the mag just grenading on me haha! Btw awesome informative videos, and i loved your VFC M249 video you posted, was a little questionable but watching a few of your videos it shows that you know your shit, and is a real steel fan like me lol, definatly earned a sub! :D

[@ExplosiveEnterprises]

Don't sweat overfilling. The pressure in the box will only rise above vapor pressure if you chill it significantly and then completely fill it to capacity, and that won't happen in regular use. Just keep filling until you no longer hear gas transferring, and you're good to go.

[@XLexieXBabyX]

@@ExplosiveEnterprises Ohh okay perfect! Thank you so much! Your video was spot on with the little quirks about it, i just got it and filled it half way and the hose (i had to cut to fit) keeps popping out from the little lock thing on the box mag itself vents all the gas lol, thanks again for the help! :D
