Keep in mind, plastic gear box will not hold out for long, you're gonna break your gearbox...the max spring load is 1.2 for plastic, for nylon 1.3-1.4, and metal depend on its material, for cast iron it can take up to 1.5, but stainless steel will go up till 1.8 spring...

no, you can cheekily get airsoft guns too aus, i have a few from low price/fps to high grade/high fps.. and once you have them upgrade parts are a piece of piss to order hey.. qulity BB's i find are not so easy to find but there are good ones available if you use same process mentioned below (25bucks for 2000pcs 0.20gm-0.25gm-0.28gm 6mm hard bbs is what i use and search for) just have to know where and how to do so.. i use ebay by finding what pistols/AR's i want google it look for ebay link, then if it ships worldwide and doesnt come up with BS biosecurity warning.. i order it. but can only get a few styles/brands from Korea and japan (japan has best brand IMO which is Tokyo Marui super affordable and high quality m8) ALSO on when on payment screen where you can add a message to seller b4 ordering ask for the CUSTOMS ITEM DESCRIPTION TO BE TOY AND TOY ONLY... most sellers kindly oblige you didnt hear this from me _cough couch wink wink_ good luck if you try bud (start with cheaper stuff 1st so you dont lose out hey)

Airsoft is a joke here, they recently made it legal in SA yet the only vendor is some dodgy cunt at the Adelaide brickworks who sells shitty nerfed down pistols for $200 that are sold for $20 in Europe and the USA. the requirements for Airsoft are so shit it's not even worth the bother, same with paintballing. Can't use legally outside of an official course and can't even buy your own ammo, no wonder gel blasters are getting popular.

[@shadowrunner03]

@Mystery Bag pnly 2 states gelblasters are legal in are QLD and SA, every other state has lumped them in with airsoft/paintball and banned them, tassie classes them as actual military guns lol

[@natecataldo1136]

You should try putting a v3 airsoft gearbox in there and swap the cylinder, cylinder head, tappet plate, and nozzle. That way you at least have metal internals. Looks like the gearbox in there is exactly v3.

This was the very first video that got me on my gel blaster upgrading journey, thank you Low Guido, from the bottom of my heart, thank you man.

[@shumhenry5922]

i think cylider volume is also a important factor contribute to a better blaster. For example, i just made my own gorkey mp5 a week before. At the beginning, i used the full-volume cylider that j8 gearbox comes with. I shot it with hop up attatched at 7m and the circle of the gel landed was approxiamtely 20cm(h) by 15cm(w). Then i switched to 75% and cut few teeth of the that compression thingy (sry i donno what its called) to make it like 60% of the original volume. After that, danm the spread was way much better and it definitely went to below 10cm by 10cm at 7m

[@lowguidoschopshop]

That sort of thing is a bit beyond beginners mods.

[@A.D.D.O.C.D.T]

The number is followed by FPS ,feet per second. Eg. 163 feet per second is the speed the round travels. The higher the number the harder it leaves the barrel and the longer it will fly.

[@lowguidoschopshop]

it still makes my day... every time.

[@NotPofkp]

woosh

[@weswilcox4655]

the Balistic fps is directly related to the velocity of the ball. the lighter the ball for a given fps the less distance it will travel and the less impact for any given distance.

Putting 11.1volts battery will make the nylon gears wear off. 7.4volts is good for nylon gears and for the stock spring. If you want 11.1volts battery to fit in better upgrade the nylon gears to metal gears including the cylinder.

FPS: Feet per second It’s a measurement of velocity/speed. SI Units is usually m/s but cuz America is weird like that, they use ft/s

ok as an airsoft player there are so many upgrades i would recomend to you like the gears get some steel ones will last longer and give better performance go for shs get a dual sector gear for eve higher rate of fire put an aimtop F430 motor in get a steel piston in there or lunger how you call it and oh get a steel or cnc made aluminum gearbox and put a mosfet in there to prevent gearjams also increas the performance plus shim them and they will be less noisy

Your right but I do prefer them over the tiny pins that the original JST connections provide.
