[QUOTE=Mbbird;21200576]I know it won't charge because the light wouldn't come on. That particular charger, when you plug it in, flashes green-red-green-red, then turns red to signal that it's charging. When I plugged in the battery, it did the startup, but never turned red to signal charging. When I got to the field I dry fired to test that it worked, and it half cycled or something then just stopped. Whenever I pressed the trigger from then onward with that battery in I mine as well had no battery, the trigger did nothing. Also, I know my charger isn't dead because I charged my friend's spare battery on it the night after. His spare battery was how I was able to play that day. Just used a voltmeter and it showed up as shorted. So crappy battery?[/QUOTE] Yup, battery crapped out. Either replace the cell or just get a new pack.
Can anyone recommend me a site besides AirsoftGI where I can get a JG BAR 10?
[QUOTE=xXEnder007Xx;21203227]Yup, battery crapped out. Either replace the cell or just get a new pack.[/QUOTE] Went to AEX yesterday. Told them my battery broke in one way or another. They figured out one of the connectors snapped in like 10 seconds. They told me to come back tomorrow and it should be fixed. Came back today, and it works just fine now. They didn't charge me either, even though if they did I imagine it'd have been really low anyway.

After playing a couple games after a long time, I find myself doing a lot of surpressing fire.. What would you guys recommend as far as russian support weapons? Was thinking of the new Echo 1 RPK comming out.

Now, the RPK 74 is much more abundant so pick up some MAG midcap long style mags if you can, but you can always stay with the 47. Besides that I don't know of anything else to tell you.

[QUOTE=DarkSamus;21281176]um. so get the echo 1 rpk thats comming out?[/QUOTE] Yeah pretty much. [editline]01:44AM[/editline] I need a name for a team I'm forming. We all wear Tigerstripe if that helps you with the name at all.
My dad might be picking up a CA RPK later this week. I loved the feel of it, even though it was a front heavy son of a bitch. The wood furniture on it was great, and it comes with the drum mag, perfect for those times where we have the urge to hose people down. We're looking into light support weapons right now, the only sort of weapon we've never owned before. Neither of us want a M249 or M60, just too damn big and heavy. A Semi auto function is a good plus too for those semi auto only CQB games. I'm looking into an ICS L86 myself for the more evenly distributed weight, but I have to convince my dad on that. Or I just buy one myself since I got a job as a CNC Machine Operator and I should start having some income.
Ugh, a whole load of things went wrong with my gun today, but I finally temporarily fixed it and had a great time. Well, 3 things wrong: The trigger is sticking. I pull it all the way back, as I usually do on semi when I'm only shoot a few shots and not very fast, it gets stuck. And not just all the way back, if I pull it maybe 5-8 mm's farther than it takes to shoot it and it'll stick. How does one go about fixing this, one of the refs there told me I needed to adjust a spring to fix that. And it doesn't have this problem with auto...? One of my motor wires came unplugged, somehow, and it took forever to figure out that was the problem. I thought it was my battery again, don't really need help on this but that scared the fuck out of me (only one battery, nobody had spares.) Motor adjustment. It's impossible. The MOE PTS motor grip has this annoying circle on the inside of the bottom of the motor-plate. So it's nearly impossible to push the wires out of the way so it can fit over the motor. If I don't fit the wires the right way and the circle bit just pushes the motor down then the screw for motor adjustment does nothing. Maybe if you own a MOE grip you could tell me how to fix this...

I'm not too sure how you go about fixing this one. I had a similar incident on my ICS AK74 where on semi auto the trigger would stick once it was pulled. I would have to reset the trigger by pushing it forward with my finger. I took apart the gearbox and reset all the parts. Not sure what I did but it worked. As for the MOE grip, yeah it can be a pain in the ass. Luckily this method has worked pretty well for me. Looking straight down into the grip, this is how you should run the wires. The red wire goes around the top of the motor then up the back. Plug in the black wire first, then run the red wire over it. The red wire should loop around the rear of the motor as pictured. Honestly I haven't had to really adjust the motor height on my MOE grips. On both of my CA M4's I've only had to turn it till it put some pressure on the motor. Anymore and it would cause my motor to slow. Only downside to these MOE grips is the motor adjustment screw likes to shake it self out of the grip. Lost a screw that way. If yours is loose, wrap it in some teflon tape next time you work on it. [img]http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/3176/motornk.jpg[/img]

Anyone had experience with Swiss Arms', it looks like ASGI is now selling a aimpoint (I am somewhat sure) made by them. [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=6557&osCsid=ab6empnva8lcsi3frd08e9b8e0[/url]
Swiss Arms = Palco = Cybergun. They've got a whole load of cover names because they know everyone hates them.
Should be about the same quality as any other higher priced ACM scope. It's about the same price as mine, so I'd expect it to be metal.

Alright, thanks guys.
Okay, I CANNOT find any rails for my standard M4A1. (By rails I mean rails that hook into the little holes on the heat guards) Also, I need to find a rail that attaches to the top of my carry handle.

Should I get a tightbore for my barrel upgrade? My gun currently borderlines the FPS limit and I heard sometimes tightbores increase the FPS. I just want more accuracy, not more FPS.
6.04 increased mine by 10-15 FPS. 6.03 increased my friends by 20-25.
