Honestly this is more of a project thing than anything else. I don't necessarily plan on using my "P90 LMG" In game, Really, i'm just trying to see what i can do with it. Going for a high rate of fire for spray and pray, And if i'm going to be shooting impractically, i want to enjoy it without having to practically reload. I bought a second gearbox so i can swap it out between this overkill build and an actual in game build. So far i got it shooting 1200RPM/20RPS at 350~ FPS on a 9.6V NiMh. The only real mods i've done to it so far is swapped out the motor for a lonex A1, replaced the compression components (the stock ones didn't last very long, Possibly because I fired it jammed too many times, Jamming was caused by the hop which i also re-tuned and fixed) and cleaned up/re-oiled the Gearbox. Its a King arms P90 If anyone is wondering.
As a "side quest" if you will. I'm wondering what rate of fire I will start having feeding issues at. I'm quite happy with my results, as troubleshooting various problem after problem i've become well acquainted with my gearbox. 20 RPS and i havent even installed the high speed gear set. Very curious to see what the double sector gear will do.

sorry but even an LMG cant shoot 1500 rounds without reloading, more like 100, if i want to do suppression fire, Ill grab my AKM, that has "high capacity" 40 round magazines and ill have way more ammo than I'll ever need
seriously highcaps have no reason to exist but to piss me off, and to tell me where their owners are with their maraccas
also, yes I've owned an LMG before (M249), and I gamed it using M4 midcaps, not the giant boxmag... but seriosuly, you can get 200+ round midcap with no winding and no rattle, why would you want a highcap? so you dont have to spend 1.5 seconds reloading at some point in your day?

Word, I LOVE midcaps. (i got 5 of them when i ordered my UAR, Its stock mags Suck, and of course i had to dremel the mag well to get the mids to fit) Normal high caps piss me off. But for the purposes of the project, I want my makeshift LMG. I'm Hoping that the Lonex Flash mag works as well as Evike Claims it does, because that will make life a Hell of a lot easier for this project gun.
Edit: So After running into a few roadblocks, IE: one of my bushings Broke, I've done a few repairs and upgrades. I think I've got the hang of shimming now; threw a pair of super shooter 13:1 gears in the spare gearbox, coupled it with an Modify S100, keeping my A1 motor in there, and new reinforced, steel bushings. Go the P90 shooting about 25 RPS on the crono and roughly 350/360~ FPS. I've noticed that longer bursts on full auto the RPM slows down a tad, I'm guessing That the NiMh 9.6 1600MAH can't keep up with the A1's power draw, but I could be wrong. (any insight here would be appreciated)
Additionally my externals are here: The Box magazine for the p90, a Ps90 barrel extension (with an M4 length 6.03 i have yet to install, Im waiting on a seperate hop up unit) and the extended rails for the front. The box mag doesn't fit very well, i have to take the upper reciever on/off to install it, and the rail unit will require some drilling to make it work.
In conclusion, The "PLMG" as im calling it now
Is well under way. Will keep you guys posted.
Thanks,
Ben
