Flashlight for Hi-Kick fast cycling gun like the G18

Jagd · February 15th, 2012, 20:10

Jus got my TM G18C, the thing is simply a blast to shoot!

, but in full auto burst, my actual flashlight ( http://www.ebairsoft.com/black-eagle...ls-p-2563.html ) that I use on my TM MK23 NBB, is simply not capable of taking the high-kick and ultra fast cycling of the G18C. The flashlight, just close automatically as soon as I start to shoot in full auto.

Does any of you have a G18 with flashlight attached to it, that is able to stay open and does not power off while shooting in full auto?

If so, than can you please copy paste the link to the actual flashlight.

Thanks!

Yep, you should use flashlights designed for real firearms! Even though a gbb pistol doesn't seem to have a high kick, it still has some, which some "cheap" flashlight might not handle, even more so if you're pistol is fully automatic capable!

Ok...well I does make sense, the only thing, not sure if I am willing to pay that much only for a pistol flashlight, was wondering if any of you guys had one that was working well on a G18 but not a pistol flashlight that cost more than $80...

Try to make the battery springs stronger by pulling on them. Do the same thing for the bulb. That might solve your problem. Your light must be really cheap! I never seen a repro do that!

A tlr-1 by streamlight isn't a whole lot more than 80$ I've seen them for 110$. Its a great flashlight too. I think side armor makes a tlr1 holster for glocks too. Got one for my 1911/streamlight that works great

Oh no, I put one on my Glock and it destroyed itself just by mounting it... Very cheaply made.

I've had mine for over 2 years and it's still doing great.

They might not ship that to Canada, due to ITAR-ded rules.

Opticsplanet is, through and through, completely, and utterly retarded.

stretch the springs for a temporary fix. also if your battery fits loose in the battery tube, put a couple rounds of electrical tape on it so it stays put. I do this with the batteries on my cheap lights to minimize lateral rattling.

Found out that a cheap 30$ Ebay flashlight with a LED is making miracles for me right now...
