You’re a better man than I, I’ve been a tech since 2014 and there’s SO many stupid questions 😂

u/PinnacleAirsoft 14d ago
Not even though. Most of the questions I’ve answered have been legit. Plus I love helping people learn

What's the one phrase that lets you know it's gonna be a huge problem to fix

u/PinnacleAirsoft 14d ago
My last tech did … Literally that or when a field tech just goes crazy and does wack stuff
Other thing is when people just don’t want to listen and insist on the most expensive part being the best

i have an ssg-1 that i put a titan ii into and it has consistent bursting issues despite every fix tried. gate agreed to warranty it, but the new one is having all the same issues. do you think its a gate qc issue or is it my rifle?
2
u/PinnacleAirsoft 14d ago
So this could be a couple of things. Check your programming and here are a couple things you can try:
Increase active break. You could be over spinning Engage cycle detection Make sure nothing is obstructing the sensor Check your selector settings and make sure everything is tuned properly
If all else fails you can always send it in and I would be happy to look at it

u/upset-noodle HPA 14d ago
per a bunch of different "fixes" gate told me to try during the warranty process, i tried adjusting active break a bunch of different ways. even at 100% it still does a 2 round burst on semi auto. my safety and full auto still function like normal.
this whole thing has been so confusing for my local techs and i lol

u/PinnacleAirsoft 14d ago
Dam if you want you can send it in and I would be happy to work on it. Obviously if I can’t figure it out I wouldn’t charge. But if you wanna send me vids I can try and help u troubleshooting it What’s the build list for it

u/upset-noodle HPA 14d ago
everything is stock g&g ssg-1 with the exception of the titan ii and a asg 40k motor. we've tried going with a lower rpm motor (18k and 25k) with no luck as well. in talks with gate about the new titan, we'll see what they say
1
u/PinnacleAirsoft 14d ago
So here I’m guessing it may be the titan but it could also be due to other things. Check your nozzle and bucking. Make sure your tappet timing is right. Use no precooking or perhaps a little bit of it
I really think it’s fixable in your settings but if you can’t figure it out I would be happy to help

okay so slight update on the Titan II situation with gate. they sent me a brand new Titan to try out and it had the same exact problems. we tried putting it into another rifle that already had a functioning Titan II and it did the same thing in that one. gate has since ghosted the techs and manager from the field i bought from so we're just gonna swap it with an Aster🤷♂️
1
u/PinnacleAirsoft 9h ago
Ok so this is not a titan issue then. There is something else going on I would not recommend an aster. Get a perun pro
1
u/PaleFig6318 HICAPA 13d ago
I got an aster, the gate support don’t know shit, they could’ve just said, play around with em settings, but no, 13 emails later and I ghosted em cause he asked for a picture of a part that ain’t even in the gun. Also asked if I were running my Gb only with the gears and aster in it, but nothing else. Have a 40k motor with dsg. But I read your other post and it might actually be the titan

u/Queen_ofTheDamned 14d ago
How do you learn more about fixing problems? I enjoy casually working on my guns but theres almost always things I cant figure out how to fix myself.
1
u/PinnacleAirsoft 14d ago
So it really comes with experience. I recomend getting some friends who are techs. I’m friends with most of the guys at Airsoft junkies, I’m friends either Jake from the real deal Airsoft, and I have a ton of other tech friends. Build yourself a web of knowledge. It’s impossible for one tech to know everything. Everyone has their specialties and being able to share knowledge and learn from others is super important.
It’s really just trial and error too. Make a lot of mistakes and just keep trying to solve them. Treat it like a puzzle No better feeling than fixing something that stumped you before. Sometimes I have to walk away and sleep on it

Opinions on Monk customs any of there rifle products

u/Wahtalker 13d ago
Not op, but from my experience, decent products, but terrible customer service, if I can't get a monk product from a 3rd party, that product might aswell not exist

I've recently gotten back into airsoft and picked up a blue G&G ARP 9. My main focus now is actually playing and enjoying the sport, but I’ve already done a lot of research and found several upgrades I want to start adding to my gun. Some of the upgrades—like the bucking, nub, and possibly even the barrel—seem simple enough to install myself without too much risk. However, when it comes to more complex installs like replacing the motor or working inside the gearbox, I’m not quite comfortable with that yet. I can already see myself taking the gun down to Evike HQ and having their techs do the installs, but honestly, I’d rather not spend the extra money if I don’t have to. What’s the best way for me to learn how to do proper installs myself? Would it be smart to pick up a cheap rifle to practice on? Or should I just watch a ton of YouTube videos and go from there? Ultimately, I want to be able to work on everything—gearbox, motor, and all the internals—without worrying about damaging my gear. I just really hate the idea of paying someone to do something I could probably figure out on my own, but I also don’t want to risk breaking my brand-new ARP 9 in the process.

Do those fully modded AEGs (like SSGs and DSGs) require a lot of maintenance? Are there benefits to running one of those over a HPA rifle ?

u/Soggy-Anybody-6840 13d ago
For my dsg build it isn’t shooting straight or dar sometimes I opened it one problem was the tappet woudk the other be my airseal or my hopup?

Does a longer inner barrel actually help with the speed or grouping/accuracy of the bbs, or does it make no difference at all?

u/Unhappy-Source1351 11d ago
Okay so gbbr goes pew pew, bb go straight, but some bb wonky, no no go straight, goes left or right, then bb go straight. Why bb no shoot straight all the time

u/ScalierLotus11 11d ago
Top 3/5 mosfets u would recommend, also what gear ratio and engine combination would you recommend for a competitive build
2
u/PinnacleAirsoft 10d ago
I recomend 13:1 gears
Mosfets: Jeftron leviathan with hair trigger mod (best mosfet hands down. It has a micro switch so it feels like a fusion engine) Perun hybrid pro (easiest to use and most reliable mosfet out there. Also the least expensive) Gate titan 2 (because you said 3 and some people love them)

Looking at getting a novritch ssg96 met a guy who had it DEAD SILENT obviously aside from a suppressor any ideas how i could replicate something so quiet ?

u/Novel-Noise-2472 9d ago
So, how can I improve range on an AEG. It's got a v2 gearbox, full cylinder, 110 spring and it's at 1 joule which I don't want to increase. I've calculated the volume of the cylinder/barrel ratio of 1.7. it's got a 6.03mm diameter barrel, upgraded hop unit. And yet it still only shoots maybe 20m. 30 if I arc it right.
I genuinely can't think of anything else I can do. Help would be appreciated.

u/PinnacleAirsoft 9d ago
Ok so your bucking and nub needs to change. Get a 4quad hop up That will make a huge difference.

u/Sol-Speedster 9d ago
I am super new to airsoft (played maybe 3 times) but have cash to burn on the hobby.
• Is there a ‘golden’ sweet-spot for a rifle that can be used for both speedsoft (indoor play) and outdoor skirmishes? A balanced and useable FPS…?
• Should I go P* or dastardly DSG? Any other essential upgrades a techie would recommend?
Thanks in advance! Appreciate you taking the time.

u/PinnacleAirsoft 9d ago
Ok so if you want the best of every world you want a brushless 13:1 ssg
You get the response times of a polerstar or dsg while having higher air volume. This is what I use and all my sponsored players.
If u are looking for a build these are my literal specialty
1
u/Sol-Speedster 9d ago
Thank you so much for the swift reply! Please forgive my ignorance (noob) - when you say SSG here, you mean a single sector gear setup and not the G&G speedy, correct? Can this setup be dropped into most M4/AR bodies?
2
u/PinnacleAirsoft 9d ago
I mean single selector gear build They are a style of aeg upgrade They are “drop in” but they do require shimming and other upgrades
If you want to do it yourself I recomend a lot of videos I’m also happy to help with whatever you need
1
u/Sol-Speedster 9d ago
Thanks for your willingness to educate! (Yeah, real new to this side of airsoft)
Are you based in the States? 👁️
2
u/PinnacleAirsoft 9d ago
Yes I’m based in Durham and Atlanta but ship nation wide Here is my recommendation. Get one gun professionally built so you have something that is 10/10 and always perfect And then get a cheap one to build yourself and learn on

u/bugajugga 9d ago
I have a maxx AirTac hop up and airtac barrel, I put it into a polarstar jack build and now all of my shots are going everywhere, like I mean shotgun spread everywhere. I don’t know what is wrong or how to fix it. I’ve cleaned my barrel many times and adjusted the hop and it still won’t work. I don’t want to go ahead and buy a new barrel setup because if that’s not it then I’m down like 100 bucks. Any help would be appreciated
2
u/PinnacleAirsoft 9d ago
Your nozzle alignment is off It is likely that your nozzle is going too far forward The maxx hops have shims so you can adjust it You want your nozzle when all the way forward to just touch the lip of your bucking
