Airsoft Hacks

Well, it’s been a few weeks since I posted anything, but just wanted to put up a post of what to expect on here soon…

• Cyma Glock 18 Review

As promised in my first post on this blog, I will eventually get around to posting a review of the Cyma Glock, this is a nice little AEP which costs about half the price of it’s TM counterpart.

• Cyma Glock External Battery Install

The main disadvantage of the Cyma Glock AEP (and alot of other AEPs) is the limited space for a battery, hence the reason why they only have a 7.2v mini battery installed, so instead I decided to custom make a lanyard which clips onto the bottom of the handgrip and can be run to a belt/vest/pocket to utilise a larger external battery. So far I’ve briefly tested this and installed some wiring but it hasn’t quite performed as expected, right now it looks like the wiring is causing the problem, so this will have to be re-wired with some higher quality wire, although this is difficult given the limited space inside the pistol.

• Molybdenum Disulphide Gearbox Mod

Moly…. WTF? Indeed, I read about this on a thread over at arnie’s airsoft, it’s commonly known as dry lube, the basic concept is that it acts similarly to a teflon coating on the gears allowing the gearbox to perform very well without wet grease becoming dirty and clogging up the gears. I’ve been waiting about 6 weeks now for a can of this stuff to be delivered to me and it finally arrived today. I hoped to test it in my Cyma mp5-J, looks like I’ll have to wait another couple of weeks to test it out (see below), but when I do, I’ll post a full review here and an update after several thousand rounds have been run through it.

• ACM “Silent” Piston Head

Picked one of these up on rsov.com with an order a few weeks back, haven’t yet decided which AEG to test it in, but as soon as I do I’ll be posting a review along with audio comparisons of noise output from the gearbox.

 Right now, I’m limited on time, this coming Wednesday (18th) I’m flying to Barcelona to spend a month travelling by rail around Europe, I’ll aim to check out at least one european airsoft site while I’m there and will post here any (airsoft related) experiences I have over there.

I aim to post the Glock review before I go anyway, and the rest as soon as I can. I’ve a few other ideas in mind and will be updating this blog as those ideas come to fruition.

Slán go foill.
