Quick Fix #3 - ARL Spring Failure


Symptoms: Gears are spinning backwards after the AEG is fired. 

Diagnosis: A close look at the anti-reversal latch showed that it was intact and meshed properly with the bevel gear. However after examining the spring which moves the latch I discovered it could no longer create enough tension for the latch to engage normally.



Replacing the ARL spring got this AEG up and running again right away. Hopefully this saves someone else time on diagnosis!

Video: Field CTF Game @ Mr. Paintball


Logan and I rolled out to our local field Mr. Paintball once again for some action this weekend. Turnout was good and the weather was amazing, so we all went out into the brush for some field games. This was the second game we played that day:
This game was played over a large area with about 30 people on each team. I'm using my custom M4 and Logan is using his KJW M700. Everyone was playing hard, being a good sport and overall it was an excellent day of airsoft. Thanks to Fred and his crew for hosting, and Ben and Sam for squading up with us!
