GENERAL QUESTION Airsoft Product Survey

1 Upvotes

Introduction: I'm in an engineering class creating a product for airsoft called the Ammo-link. I am conducting some research so if you want to fill out the form I would be grateful. Even if you don't like the idea please fill it out so I don't have misleading data.

The product idea:

We have come up with the idea that loading airsoft magazines is tedious. It's a task no one wants to do and it takes up the most time when getting ready for a game. To solve this problem I am creating a powered hopper that is either attaches to the back of a plate carrier or to a belt. This hopper feeds a line a bbs directly into your gun so you don't have to worry about reloading. Its like the chain feed of a LMG but for airsoft. The hopper will have sound dampening like the oden speed loaders so it wont rattle like a usually hi-cap magazine. I am planning on having it hold around 3000-5000 bbs.

Link to survey:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd1x5ZyqQ1OUDPnY2972pz21taECaOkV9K4OTJQt0eTEUarZA/viewform?usp=publish-editor

If you have any questions of the functions about the product feel free to ask in the comments and i will respond.

GENERAL QUESTION Returning Player, AEG, Ambidextrous player

0 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for myself and my sons. My boys decided that they wanted to try airsoft. I thought, "you know, i played for a few years. It will be fun. Lets go."

Now, my hyperfocus brain wont allow me to stop thinking about anything else. 😂 With that said, my largest gripes about gear the last time i played was lack of ambidextrous equipment(rifle replicas more specifically).

With the idea of cost, reliability, and ease of use(for the kids) I am humbly asking for recommendations for rifle replicas with full ambidextrous controls(selector, mag release).

Asked ChatGPT and got a couple of recommendations, but wanted to come here where a load of experience can give real input with experience. Thanks everyone!

GUN QUESTION I broke my upper receiver, and I'm now trying to fix it.

Ive been trying to find a teardown guide on the g&g CM18 MOD1 that goes over how to fully disassemble the barrel, nut and upper receiver. As I had damaged it during a game.

I plan to replace the broken parts with metal versions if possible. Any help with this would be appreciated

The saving grace is that it still shoots fine, its just a little wobbly

GENERAL QUESTION Buying airsoft guns just to customize them?

3 Upvotes

Am I the only one who wants to buy an airsoft rifle mainly to customize it?

I recently bought a second-hand Specna Arms SA-B01, and honestly, what excites me the most is not actually playing airsoft.

I just love the idea of having an M4-style platform, taking it apart, changing the handguard, stock, grip, sights, accessories, trying different builds, then putting it back together again.

Basically, I want to treat it almost like a mechanical hobby or model-building project.

Maybe one day I’ll actually start playing airsoft, but right now I’m much more interested in building and customizing the replica itself than participating in simulated battles.

Is anyone else into airsoft mainly for this side of the hobby?

PURCHASE ADVICE Is there a reasonable way to get stuff from Taiwangun in the US?

10 Upvotes

They have so much cool shit that our orange idiot is barring me from buying. While that may be cool for my wallet, it’s not cool for my soul lmao. Other companies from overseas have figured it out so I don’t know why I can’t just pay the fees and get stuff like I do anywhere else. Is there any reliable third party services for shipping?

What’s Your Opinion on the State of Airsoft Right Now?

27 Upvotes

To me it seems to be on a decline. Living in New England all I see are fields closing left and right. And the fields that are open are having a lower turnout than usual and I find myself playing about 2 games and heading out. I live in Connecticut so if anyone has any field recommendations let me know.

TECH QUESTION E&L AKM 2.0 magwell problem

2 Upvotes

I tested out a mag on my ak and it was tight at first but gave in, now any mag that I put in the ak is loose.

From up top under the dust cover it looks like the plastic on one side is broken. My question is how would you fix this? Is it possible to replace this part of the gun?

Any feed back is greatly appreciated!

Edit: also forgot to add that every time that I inserted that particular mag in it appeared to move to entire internals of the gun as well, I know it was a dumb idea to keep inserting the mag but I wanted to find out what the problem was haha.

TECH QUESTION Fuse blew, why?

I changed my mini tamiya plug on my g&g mg42 for a deans plug, I started using a slightly stronger battery and now my fuse blew.
I don’t see any issues with the wiring anywhere so I think it’s just the battery. Is it safe/will it work if I just start using a 30A fuse instead of a 25A fuse?

REVIEW Anyone else despise Evike’s search function?

45 Upvotes

Why is it almost impossible to actually find what you want by using the search bar on Evike. I provided a screen recording, but this is an issue pretty much every time I use the site. Unless you’re looking for a whole new AEG, don’t even bother using the search bar to try and find a part, or even a magazine sometimes. You can search something extremely specific, and sometimes it’ll just take you directly to the listing page of a completely different item or gun that i wasn’t even searching for. At least give me a list of suggestions. How come every other website with a search bar can get this right except the #1 airsoft retailer in America..?
