Hmmm, should it? This is a near new
stock M16 A2. There is very little spring and piston resistance. The pistol grip, "where the heat sink for the engine is for those who haven't seen the m16 :nod: ", was barely even warm. I would be very disappointed if my TM airsoft gun could not handle this kind of use. Mind you, point taken, doing this every game I play would really strain the mech. box but I was only testing it...
The test was into a target box from ~12 feet, 2500 cheapo .12 gram BB's. Shot through nearly all of them before the carboard box began to fall apart. Kinda neat cutting shapes into the cardboard box. Maybe if this was with .25 gram BB's it would be a different story, but it is a neat idea for someone to test the differences.
For those of you who don't believe that a TM gun can shoot for a sustained time, goto
HERE and check out the 1991 promotional video. The gun completely chews apart an apple with a TON of BB's for over 20 seconds straight. I did mine in ~10-15 second burst with a short break between each. It took about 5 minutes to go through the 2000. Quick math, at a slow ROF at 600, I would go through 3000 rounds in 5 minutes, realisiticaly I am firing at, according to
HERE, at ~750-850 per minute with a max of 4200+ in 5 minutes. That means I can fire for 15, take 15, and empty 2000 in 5 minutes with less strain to the mech. box. I heard that the V1 mechbox is strong, I am sure that a V2 mechbox can also take it.
Well now, back to work I go... Going to redo the handle tonight to an underside straight one with a trigger type system... going to do some more modular trigger system :-D
