    Wel lads, I baught these aeg's in a retailer in nothern Ireland about 3 months ago. I got them as rentals for the new site i am opening. Unfortunetely i cant open the site for another year/ year and a half so i dont see the point on holding onto these until then. I paid £155/ around 185 euro at the time for them. The reason i baught these particular aeg's is because they were the most unusual and realy cool/futuristic looking guns. I kept 1 for myself and i havent left it down sence:), fantastic gun. These aeg's are still wraped in there original packaging so they are 100% unused.

    DETAILS
    brand name: BE
    Package includes: aeg, mag, 9.6v mini type battery, charger, built in red dot sight, bb's
    FPS: 320 - 9.6v or 260- 8.4v
    Rof: 20 bb's a second with a standard 9'6v included..... crazy:D
    build: abs body, metal gearbox + internals

    price: 140 euro

    Thanks

    well how many did u get

    FPS: 320 - 9.6v or 260- 8.4v

    Didn't know the battery changed the FPS... what kind of chrono did you use? Would like to see a pic or vid of you doing a chrono before making an offer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 199


    ah alright, it would take me 2-3 weeks to get that money. glws anyway

    Wel the standard 9.6v runs the motor faster, which then turns the gears faster, which then move the piston backwards and forwards faster increasing the fps. These aegs are manufactured just under the 1 joule so they do not have to be takin apart to downgrade as the springs used shoot just under 1j. I wont be posting a chrono reading as i dont need to and because they are still wraped.

    Thanks

    Nope
    The piston is wound back by the motor but is free when driven forward by the spring

    I'll give you 120 if you post me one

    Wel im just going by the info i read up on the aeg's and i would say the manufacturer is probably right. :)

    Also i cant do 120. sorry

    have to back tommy up here my ak was chrono`d at fingal on 9.6 @ 365fps obviously couldnt use it stuck a 8.4 in brought it down to 316fps

    Where are you based?

    Im based in Longford but i dont mind traveling to the likes of dublin if need be

    Sorry done some further reading and not interested, good luck with the sale

    Sounds more like a chrono issue have never heard of that before. The fact that it fired at 365fps and changed the battery to lower it still makes it illegeal? Like turning the hop up on or using heavier bb's.

    Anyway if the op sticks up a vid of the aeg being tested ill consider an offer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭clubberlang12


    Maybe ring around some of the airsoft sites and they might do a deal to take them off you as rentals for themselves.

    Also, not meaning to thread spoil, but the battery will affect ROF not FPS. The FPS is caused by the air being pushed out of the cylinder by the spring releasing and shooting the piston forward. Lager battery means the motor turns over quicker thus spinning the gears quicker thus increasing ROF.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    Battery voltage increases rate of fire, not energy production. Unless Both Elephant had found a method of altering the laws of physics. The spring compression strength determines muzzle energy.

    I'd be interested pending a chrono reading. Also, what colour are they?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 MrMuzik


    changing from 9.6 to 8.4 does not affect the fps of the aeg. all it does is power the motor on the gearbox to pull back the piston which compresses the spring. the higher the volts the faster it pulls back the spring & piston, so you get a higher rate of fire. the piston is pushed forward by the spring and that gives your compressed air to fire the bb.

    I'm tending to believe the laws of physics on this one.

    Tommy Griffen, if you can offer some proof - aka an independent chrono that one of the site owners or retailers can back you up on then you can sell them here.

    Till then, thread closed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,584 ✭✭✭✭Steve


    All,
    I've discussed this with Tommy and think we've reached a fair compromise on this.
    He's prepared to stand over his position that these are within the limits and, in the event that they do turn out to be over 1J when chronoed, he will cover the cost for any downgrading that's needed.

    He'll post that himself shortly.

    Thread re-opened.

    Alrite. Each aeg is fitted with the same spring by the manufacturer insuring that it is already under 1 joule of power before it is sold to any supplier. The same way the jls hk33's are done. They also shoot 40-50 fps less with an 8.4v as they do with a 9.6v battery. Anyway because i do not drive and live so far away from any site i not really prepared to travel just to get them chronoed so i will pay for any downgrading fees that need to be done if for any extremely strange reason that any of the aegs are over 328 fps.
