airsofthacks.com Custom products now Available

Just one of several new things coming to airsofthacks.com soon, here are our custom, made in Ireland, mosfets.

There are two options to choose from, our standard mosfet and our active braking mosfet. Both will provide an excellent upgrade to your AEG, reducing wear and tear and improving performance. The active braking mosfet has all the same features of the standard model except the motor is stopped when you release the trigger or when the cut-off lever engages.

Also, we have our Auto Reset Fuse, this will protect your AEG just like a nomal fuse, but when it breaks, just wait a couple of seconds and it will reset itself. It’s also got a much lower resistance than a standard fuse, so if you were thinking of removing your fuse to lower resistance, now you can have the best of both worlds.

Airsofthacks.com products can now be purchased online directly via eirsoft.ie, full details on each is below;


Standard Mosfet (RRP €30)

• Our standard Mosfet wiring harness.
• Highly recommended for AEGs to promote longevity and essential when running batteries high than the stock 8.4v
• Replaces the stock wiring of an AEG
• Reduces wear on trigger contacts.
• Ideal for use with batteries of 8.4v and 9.6v
• Can help increase Rate of Fire
• Can increase battery life

Active Braking Mosfet (RRP €45)

• Upgraded Mosfet wiring harness with Active Braking.
• The same as our Standard Mosfet with added Active braking.
• Braking prevents the motor from overspinning when you release the trigger or in semi auto mode. This eliminates the problem of having 2 shots instead of 1 in semi auto commonly seen in high speed setups.
• Highly recommended for AEGs to promote longevity and essential when running batteries higher than the stock 8.4v.

Auto Reset Fuse (RRP €8)

• Direct replacement for your stock AEG fuse, breaks just like anormal fuse to protect your AEG.
• Automatically resets itself; no need to open your AEG and replace the fuse.
• Has less resistance than a standard fuse, making sure you get the most out of your AEG while still protecting it against shorts.
• Recommended for use with our Standard Mosfet and Active Braking Mosfet.

Mosfet with a 3 round burst maybe?? Is that possible and can it be used in any AEG?

airsofthacks

Yes and Yes.

I'm working on a couple of options to do that at the moment, but it's a matter of finding a balance between cost (too expensive and nobody will want it) and ease of use (too awkward to use/install and nobody will want it)

Two options are;

Slightly expensive model; Computer controlled, plenty of fancy features, installs like a normal mosfet and requires no modification. This model will shoot a 3 round burst in full auto and then "roll over" to full auto after a minor delay if you keep holding the trigger.

Cheaper model; No computer control, timer based, will need to be calibrated by the user on initial installation and will not roll over to full auto. Could potentially do this as an "inline" model or as an add-on board for the active braking mosfet.

i lie the sound of the roll over to full auto!!

how much are we talking about when you say slightly expensive??

airsofthacks

Based on a quote I got recently to have them manufactured in Ireland, about 100euro retail price.

I'm looking at having some made in china though, will see how that goes.

+1

however would be more interested in the more expensive one with the cheaper tag which i'm sure everyone would be

I'd try and get the retail price as low as possible, but realistically it'd probably still be around 70euro at the cheapest.

TheDoc

I have a guy I know acquiring a mosfet or some sort of thing, that will stop his gun firing after 30 rounds, therefore like an electronic bolt release. Once the next mag is inserted the rifle then operates again.

I was hoping to acquire something like this for milsim games. I don't know where he is getting them from but I'll report back what I hear, and how they perform.

Should they actually work well....it would completley null the need on my behalf of buying a systema,

airsofthacks

Yup, I know the one you are talking about, only problem is it requires a sensor/switch either in the magwell or on the charging handle to reset the counter (not that big a problem tbh), there is also a variant that can do simulated jams randomly when you are shooting, requiring you to pull the charging handle to "clear the chamber" before shooting again.

Cheeky monkey

Docs one sounds much better then the 3 round burst one as long as you can turn it off or increase the limit easily

Ah well nothing is cheap these days anyway!:p

AlternateID

Think you might be reffering to the Cheetah mosfet Doc.

As far installing the mosfets go is it recommended that novices attempt installation themselves? (i.e have you included idiot proof instructions? Lol) as for the 3 round burst? Would personally like that a lot!

these sound deadly too. can you get these and what would the retail be on them?

At the moment, no, ill be doing the 3 round burst option first, I'll look at extra features like those above, but it's a matter of supplying what will sell to be honest.

Yea, the instructions are as straight forward as I could make them to be honest, but they do come with a warning that you need to know how to open a gearbox and be able to solder to install them, alternatively, I can do installation or eirsoft.ie do installation aswell (for a fee of course )

Thats the one.

Simulated blockage you say, I wouldnt mind something like that.

But I'm going to guess this setup would cost around €150+ if a 3 round burster is in the ton mark.

yeah but the other option is a GBB or Systema so i would much prefer this option as well so hopefully u get enough interest to actually supply it

I'll get the basic 3 round burst model done first, then we'll start looking at realism modifications

a 3 round burst would complete my g&g mp5

any update on the three round Mosfet kd ?

airsofthacks

The design is finalised, hoping to have prototypes in a couple of weeks and then will start taking pre-orders from retailers once the prototypes have been tested sufficiently.

airsofthacks

As per my blog post;

I’ve secured a supplier in Asia for manufacturing velcro-backed embroidered patches. Prices are very competitive and much cheaper than any manufacturer I was able to find locally in Ireland.

If you require patches for your team, email sales@airsofthacks.com and I will get a quote for your design.

Example of patches I’ve had made are below:

Sorry for the delay in reply, was away for the last couple of weeks.

The 3 round burst mosfet has been slightly delayed due to minor design revisions and also summer holidays of both myself and my supplier. Will get moving on it ASAP.

Cheers

Necro thread ftw........


So I had a "Why Didn't I Think of That Before" moment the other day and I've just put together this;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu0V2mS3gYA

Yes, the little board the gearbox is attached to is controlling the 3 round burst, and yes the whole thing can be made alot smaller and can be fit into a normal foregrip/stock.

The basic idea is based on the extreme fire 3 round burst system using a microcontroller to do timing and other various tricks. The code I've put together is very much in an alpha state, but hopefully this could turn out quiet well and in a few weeks time I should be looking for beta testers.

Looks really cool. Volunteering for testing if needed.
