I'd say it has more to do with mechbox alignment and hopup chamber than the V2 mechbox

I've done plenty of those...the one(s) I was trying to get going were a bit more experimental. Resulted in many busted pistons, several blown gearsets and 3 toasted MOSFETs (fairly so...2 were old mosfets, another I had taken apart to fit the configuration). I was aiming for the 35rps @ 440-ish range
Sticking in a tamer V2 would be straightforward. And probably would have resulted in a lot fewer bench sessions taking it apart.

basically changing the whole attitude of the gun with the upper swap, via the fit of the upper, and the hop/barrel combo and BB choice..
the belt upper has some POS cheapo 1 peice metal hop up that wiggles and bounces .. a element 6.04 509 (just to reach the end.. and well I had one sitting around) .. half decent bucking .. stock style nubby.... running madbull precision .25's ... aiming for a 5ish ft pattern @ 180ft
the carbine upper .. I haven't decided on the hop chamber yet (madbull, prom, or that new modify) .. running a prom 6.03 363, guarder clear with the nub removed and shredder .. running Bastard .3's ... and everything I can do to keep the hop unit and barrel immobile ... aiming for ability to headshot @ 200ft (LOL) but will be satisfied with torso @ 180
I've built some really hot, and fairly high ROF guns... and never really saw an advantage other then the headache of getting everything to run smooth and reliably |
I've had/have plenty that shoot as hard or as soft as I want. I was just goofing around with builds for the SHRIKE....and that's a sure recipe for an empty wallet and blown mechs
