Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - 400+ FPS JG ver. 2 Mechbox Survivability?

SHÖCK · July 3rd, 2009, 02:04

A lot of JGs are coming out of the factory shooting 400+ FPS stock . It's commonly spoken of that v2 mechbox failure is only inevitable over time when shooting that hot after some time unless you have a reinforced mechbox or perhaps sorbo pads.

Anybody have experiences with the 2008 and newer JG guns having mechbox cracking on you? I just bought an Mp5 that is shooting 425 FPS out of the box and it's making me paranoid everytime I put the thing on full auto. I usually put it away after a few games and switch to my heavily upgraded G36 with a v3 I don't worry about so much.

I know some of their more updated lines like the 416 have bearing spring guides, etc. but I haven't heard anything about their mechboxes being reinforced to take the punishment they equip them with at stock nowadays.
