The Official Questions Thread Version: "Charlies in the trees, what do I need to get rid of them?" - General

the pouches have to be designed to be mounted sideways. To attach regular oriented pouches like this you'd have to improvise (paracord comes to mind). But whatever you do, there'll be quite a bit of slack to it, since it won't be directly weaved into the actual webbing.

[QUOTE=mousecop;46538300]So on topic not dumb shit I just replaced the wiring harness in my 416c so I know its not a short. But Everytime I pull the trigger it cycles the piston back then locks up. Then the wires get hot. its getting to the point where I'm about to put this gun in the trash.[/QUOTE] it was the motor. I guess the vfc motor didn't have enough power to cycle it anymore. I plugged in my jg blue and it cycled right up.

[QUOTE=7 Layer Dip;46539644]anyone know how to mount mag pouches horizonally? I have some fastmags coming and I want to mount them... horizontally... facing forwards like this [img]http://i.imgur.com/vl0TC3N.png[/img][/QUOTE] You can buy MOLLE vertical converters at any surplus store for a few bucks. [editline]21st November 2014[/editline] [url]http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/EAG-158[/url] Not saying you should buy from CTD but this will do the job just fine.

I have one of those laying around somewhere, actually. You can have it for the cost of shipping if I can find it. Just a fair warning, though; Thats probably not gonna be very comfortable to draw from. [editline]21st November 2014[/editline] Also the pouches won't be connected to their platform nearly as firmly. The adapter is two pieces of fabric, one for attaching to the platform, and one for attaching a pouch. They're sewn together around the outsides, but are unattached towards the middle, which causes slop.

another question, is there anywhere that has the pmags without the dummy rounds in stock? The only website that ive seen with a decent selection was ehobbyasia, but theyre sold out

They are that brand. But the ones I posted aren't midcaps, my bad.

Can you not?

Hey guys, what are the thoughts on ICS? More specifically their MP5s. I was thinking of picking one up at a local place next weekend for indoor use.

[QUOTE=LurkietheLurker;46551254]Hey guys, what are the thoughts on ICS? More specifically their MP5s. I was thinking of picking one up at a local place next weekend for indoor use.[/QUOTE] I've had both the metal and plastic body ICS MP5's, and they're... MP5's. Nothing to write home about, but also not horrible. Be wary of ICS quality control though. They have a reputation for lemons. [editline]22nd November 2014[/editline] ICS is known to be an acronym for It Can Suck around these parts. Hit or miss, if you will.

so uh my sig 516 misfeeds like crazy, mostly when in full auto and sometimes will double feed. i've tried 3 different brands of mags, some with a little bit of wobble and some with none, both feed the same and i have no idea what it could be. nothing internally looks like it shouldn't be feeding, and my inner barrel is spotless so its not like they are getting stuck

...holy fuck. I feel like a fucking [b]idiot[/b] asking this but is $115 fuckin dollars for Auscam webbing expensive or fuckin what? Went to my local surplus store and webbing in Auscam Woodland is fucking through the roof, the Auscam Arid version was like $150.

You should take the gearbox out of the body and visually inspect how the air nozzle is moving.

What wire should be used for the batteries/gearbox? Trying to wire a gat to the stock and make an extension.

16 gauge, as thin insulation as reasonable possible

Would something like this work? [url]http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Cable-16-1-16-16-Gauge-Automotive/dp/B000OES91Y[/url]

Automotive wiring usually has fat insulation, try this [url]http://www.clandestineairsoft.com/electrical-parts-c-1_27/16ga-telfon-wire-1ft-yellow-p-560.html[/url]

whats the difference between a 6094a and a 6094b carrier? I'm picking up a toy soldier one locally next friday for 50 bucks, and im unsure which one it is or what the differences are. [editline]24th November 2014[/editline] whats the deal with pagekings?

letters represent size. A is medium, B is large, C is extra large

perfect, thank you

What is the opinion on the various UMPs? More specifically the G&G and Classic Army ones.

Anyone know where I can find one of these: [t]http://kingarms-uk.com/shop/50811-2610-thickbox/king-arms-stock-ring-for-m16a2-fixed-stock-ka-m4-04-for-airsoft-gun.jpg[/t] That doesn't cost 14 fucking pounds. Or one that doesn't cost me $20 in shipping from america.

What is it?

It's an M16 part, it goes in between the stock and receiver of an AEG [editline]25th November 2014[/editline] Not sure how much this would be to ship to the UK but [url]http://www.shapeways.com/model/531140/m-series-full-stock-washer.html?materialId=25[/url]

[QUOTE=apoctank;46538829]What do you mean the wire "snapped"? Did the motor connectors break?[/QUOTE] the wire snapped off where it hooks up to the fuse. Could post a pick, if you need me to.

If you're handy with a soldering iron or know someone who is, it's an easy fix
