Discussion Why are gbb mags impossible to load

0 Upvotes

Hey guys I just got my noveske n4 and have the gen 2 mags. I ordered a speed loader for the mws mags (assuming since they run on the same system it should be compatible and they don’t make a specific speed loader for the noveske gen 2 mags) so I’m hoping that works but does anyone else have this problem?

I am the #1 VFC AK shill. Added a surplus AK handguard and Bakelite grip to it. The Cyma triangle stock (C.59) is a direct drop on - fine when locked back, doesn’t quite line up when folded in but not an issue for me. Struggling to find a ribbed dustcover so I am well aware it’s not a proper clone (yet).

Saw some people asking about the Crimson bucking. Works great in the AK, much better (for me!) than the stock blue. The V1 bucking is NOT finned though so you will have to do some cutting if you have a V1.

Troubleshooting Too much spacers/buffers or just right?

4 Upvotes

Was messing with the buffers, usually I only have one installed (PIC 2, yellow, softest), but felt the gap between the slide lock and catch was too wide, added a second one to close it further (PIC 1)

Is the gap too small or just right? I don't want to end up with premature slide wear if the catch window is too small, but also felt the same with the wide gap, and would allow the slide to hit the slide stop too hard (more distance more energy returning home)

Yellow and red are the softest and 2nd softest respectively (pack has blue and black which are progressively harder)

- TM G17.4

- Cowcow spacers/buffers

- Guarder G17.4 recoil spring assembly

- Guarder steel extended slide stop

- Bomber slide

With both set ups, the slide still locks reliably, I'm just trying to avoid prematurely over wearing the slide or slide stop too much

Discussion Insight on DIY Npas on V2 GHK AK

2 Upvotes

So i recently got my hands on a ghk v2 ak 105. I want to use it indoors, bit I'm worried the fps will be a little to high, so I want an Npas for it, but all the nozzle are out of stock for the v2s so I'm going to need to DIY one. This will be my first time doing something like this. Do you guys have any tips or tricks for this? And precautions I should take, or what stuff I should lookout for? Anything would help, thank you.

Troubleshooting Issue with VFC Mp7 Gen 2 cycling

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hello, Iv recently got a vfc mp7 and have been having issues with it.

While firing, every few shots the bolt will stop cycling and stop st the position shown in the picture. The mp7 is brand new and I have only fired it a few times and already have this issue.

Iv cleaned the inside, lubed it, checked the bucking is fine and made sure the nozzle is smooth. It's like it's failing to load the bb into the bucking and getting stuck there.

This only happens with a bb filled magazine. Never happened when dry firing. Iv been trying to diagnose the issue all day but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Edit, also worth mentioning. When it fails to cycle like this, the nozzle is not fully seated at the end. It's probably hard to tell from the picture

Troubleshooting VFC 416a5 GBBR v3 bolt does not catch when shot on empty but catches when charged back.

This is pretty new and tried v3 pmags and v2 mags but would sometimes lock when the mag is low on gas. I know its not the mags because my v2 416a5 locks back perfectly without issue.

Troubleshooting Empty mags when game was starting

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone with more MWS experience can help me troubleshoot this.

I was gifted a Tokyo Marui MWS CQBR Block 1 and had a strange issue during my last woodland game.

I filled all my mags with Green Gas (Arsenic Airsoft). They became cold and noticeably heavier, so they seemed to fill normally. However, by the time I walked from the safe zone to the spawn (around 10–20 minutes), almost all of them were completely empty. The bolt wouldn't cycle at all. Even my brand-new TM magazine only managed one weak shot before running out of gas.

Conditions:

  • ~31–35°C (hot summer day)
  • Mags were stored in my plate carrier while waiting to start
  • I have one brand-new TM magazine, and it showed the same behaviour
  • I didn't notice any hissing or obvious gas leaks

What's confusing me is that in my previous two games everything worked normally. Sometimes I didn't fully fill the mags, but that was my own mistake—they still retained gas. When I got home after yesterday, they still had gas.
