M15 Upgrade questions

davidd24

Im looking for advise on upgrading my m15a4.
Id like a quicker rate of fire and wondered what else could i do to make the gun better without going near 1 joule?

Is it a sportsline or a metal CA?

ROF can be upped using bearing bushes, re shimming the gears, using high speed gears, high speed motor, or installing a mosfet system.

Getting a higher voltage battery is the easiest way to up rof, but depending on if thats a sportsline or not, it may not be able to handle it.

Shes metal CA Armalite deffo not sportsline,is a new gearset more realiable in the long run then just outting a stringer battery in?

you could go ahead and stick a higher voltage battery in no problem, but with CA's reputation lately for stripping gears it's hard to say whether you'll be ok or not.

The high end CA's should handle a higher voltage no bother, 9.6 would be the next step up.

Id say the sportsline had to have cheaper materials to be able to compete with the clones, and cheap chinese material costs.

The high ends are just as unreliable as the sportlines actually.,
I woundnt stick in a higher voltage battery without changing the gears and piston first, not sure what bushings are in them ones but they could do with changing too.,

Well well, CA truly are done for then.

Even Cyma have good internals now.

The CA yellow pistons are almost hilariously bad. They are literally made of cheese.

Still don't see why people buy CA's nowadays.

:D

I like cheese but only in my sambo's, not in my aeg's:p

Sorry for OT but I'd be interested to know what AEG brands you would recommend Beast?

Agreed, Also the blue pistons in the recent stuff, the one in my SL8 was almost flexible!.,:eek: had a nice alloy piston head though, which incidentally stripped the threads for the screw and fell off the piston, jamming the cylinder...

So do i go down the road of a new gearset and bushings and piston THEN Battery,would this be the safest and most reliable option?OR do i keep my money and buy a better AEG in the Future?

Literally anything apart from CA

High end wise - G&P, VFC, TM
Chinese wise - Most of them tbh, A&K, DBOYS, JG, Galaxy...
