Army Armament R85 disassembly videos

After reading many people having problems with the Army Armament R85 on various forums I thought I would post these videos that helped me when repairing the gun after the piston broke a few weeks ago.

The first tooth on the piston that engages with the gears snapped off, probably due to the angle of engagement not being set correctly(more on that later!).

The videos are actually for the G&G L85 but the gun is an exact clone so don't worry.

If you haven't fitted the spacer mod that enables standard AEG pistons to be used I would do so now as this will let you use better quality pistons than the replacement AA or GG one that is longer than the standard AEG pistons.

Here are the videos. Hope they help, if you have any questions just leave a comment below!

Jing Gong release Skorpion

The long awaited Skorpion from JG is finally with us in the UK. First impressions are that it is very well made and balanced like the real steel enabling it to be single hand fired. This little beast will be great for CQB as well as a great little side arm for all you snipers out there. The 90 rounds at approx 300fps could just come in handy if you find yourself come under machine gun fire and need to fight your way out of a situation where just carrying a single shot rifle might end you up in a little trouble!

It comes with a 700mah AEP battery which is fine and a basic charger which really isn't. Chuck the charger in the bin and get yourself a decent Delta-Peak microprocessor controlled charger, i'm sure you have one already.
