G&G TR4-18 problem

[borderdaz]

I have a problem with my TR4-18 had it out yesterday and went to get it fps check before the game and it was 89fps only used the rif 2 times before this with no problems adjusted the hop a bit thinking that could be the problem because it seemed to work. But later on when I changed mags found the first 5 to 10 rounds in each mag the fps drops you can even see the difference when firing the bbs drop about 20-30ft away then fire spot on after that. I have emailed land warrior because purchased this rif last September so should still be under warranty. I am using 0.25 blaster bbs and G&G 120 mid caps any help would be great

Are you using g&g midcaps by any chance? If so its the same prollem I had, its the mags.

thanks for that somebody at the site I was at was saying it could be a internal part or the hop unit. I will try my hi caps next time I go. I wish now I used my hi cap that day to see then if it was that. I used them about a month ago with no problems what mags do use now?

G&G Midcaps are a bloody nightmare with that gun. As a test try the hicap that came with it. I bet that's fine, G&G don't actually make a mag that fits the bloody gun! Stupid I know although some have said that you can either file the front/bottom lip of the magwell to help the mag fit in a tad looser OR file the front of each mag. Alt' buy different mags!

I used MAG brand mags but after a month I got the same issue! best option is to go into an airsoft shop and ask to try some different mags.

Sorry, not the answer you want, I ended up selling the gun as the hicap was the only mag that worked (Although it required more winding than most hi caps). It's a great gun when it's working so don't give up like I did. It really is a case of finding some decent mags for it though!

Those G&G midcaps are a nightmare in any gun. They feed awful in everything I have tried, most guns don't work at all with them and a few will fire but miss lots of rounds and then have issues with double feeds and all sorts of issues. I own a load which I can't bring myself to sell to anyone because they are utter garbage. Its not just G&G guns, its every gun I have tried including a TM, a G&P, an S&T and a G&G combat machine and a few others I didn't get the details of what it was. I haven't found a gun they work in, those magazines are not fit for purpose and you should return them immediately for a full refund.

if you get your gun shooting really well & accurate and you pick your targets carefully

then a really good gun in the hands of skilled & talented player will only need one mag all day.....

Yeah reckon 5,000 bb's should last ya

ULTRA MEGA NOOB OVERKILL - seriously

but now n then on the last game my son runs riot with it

the marshal shakes his head but wtf - the day is nearly over

TWG - £15 or less

take 6 mid-caps mags into battle and need to reload - pahhh now I just take ALL MY AMMO WITH ME

providing ya mag catch don't break

seriously - very noobish or nobish , but at end of the day wtf - unleash bb hell

 

[borderdaz]

5,000 would last me about 3-4 days hahahaha I will try my G&P ones first if not I will try them king arms one thanks for the help

dunno what will break first - the dsg or the mag catch

noobish but still a blast, manual winder not electric version but gotta fire 50 or 60 before it needs winding again
