How bad did you mess up your gun?

[The Chad]

solder them on anyway, I remember countless times taking the motor plate off my JG SIR in battle to put the lead back on my motor. Fun Fun.

Ya! Once this is sorted out, I'm gonna do that. Great idea!!

Thanks Mr The Chad.

I did a front-flip and cracked my metal body in half once.

When I went to reconnect the motor the connection ring thingy broke off.

LOL... that's the thing with those G&P connectors. Great for conductivity, but fragile as all hell.

First things first, cut those off. Next if you can go to a hobby shop and see if you can find "motor pin connectors" also called "female spade connectors" sometimes.

Look like this, http://forum.oldskoolsuzuki.info/yab...ors-female.jpg

Next solder them on to your now cut wires and wire up your motor.

IMHO G&P isn't a brand I would recommend to newbies. Great guns other than the fact you either have to have a lot of mechanical aptitude or know what you're doing inside a gun.

All you have to do is take the connector off, get some pliers and pinch the connector together, then put it back on. It will be nice and tight.

FIrst airsoft gun I bought was a collector piece WA Prokiller. Took it apart to know where I would need to lube and grease...well I went a little too far. The little piece that holds the safety in place went missing and I couldn't fully reassemble the gun. Couldn't find the instructions online and it didn't come with a manual. Had to find a gun doc to fix it for me.

Anybody wanna Skype with me as I do this? I could use a coach.

Sure, for my $25/h gun doctor fee

just don't give up until fixing costs more than buying another one.

[Juic3]

Until the cost is more then a new one. I correct : until the cost of the present repair is more then a new one. Cause airsoft always need some work of a kind

A couple of days ago I went semi-retard while trying to take apart my KWA MK2 slide and ended up taking a hex key to the fake hex slot on the rear sight. It now looks like a circle and no longer a hex key slot, than I realized it was fake when I took out the screw in the blowback unit that holds it down.

Only to go full-retard and rather than lift the rear sight off the slide, slided it out to the left only to get it caught on something, at this point I went super-retard and rather than looking at the parts list in the manual continued to push and ended up shearing through the first cylinder return spring, and then horribly bending the second one in the middle.

At least I got the slide polished to go along with the body, it just sucks now having to get these springs because until I get them I'm SOL. (The polish was worth it though, and I'll get some pictures when I get a chance)

My worst mess-up was putting washers on my stock piston in a stock gearbox to help fix the AoE.

Eventually, the weight of the washers stripped the piston screw and the piston head separated from the rest of the assembly, resulting in massive gearbox failure and having to overhaul the entire upper gearbox assembly.

[SHaKaL]

I never messed up.

Cause i know what I'm doing ( and think before doing it).

If i ever messed up; i will find a way to repair it.

[vondnik]

Usualy the fuckup was a direct result of my own stupidity. Like using bearing bushing with a systema m150 spring. Or going with bearing bushings, high speed gears, stock tm spring and a 12 volt motorbike battery.... or running a gen2 gearbox at -30.....
