I love upgrading guns. A good barrel with consistent bore and hop up goes a long way regardless of the platform. Upgrading a GBB to run on HPA and take AEG mags is game changing. Changing magazine valves and gas transfer seals can improve power and consistency on GBB/GBBR platforms. There are definitely shitty upgrades, I guess it depends on what you buy. This seems more like a rant because he got a shittily made "upgrade" part, and isn't indicative of GBB upgrades as a whole.
I think you need to change how you view things. Personally, I don't think of these as upgrade parts, I think of them as aftermarket parts and a big part of the journey of upgrading any GBB gun is that you try many combinations of aftermarket parts to try and push the platform to its limits (within your local rules). That said, there's a reason my TM MWS internally is left stock other than barrel and bucking - i think its a good idea to have one gbbr that you can rely on, while tinkering with the others :P
I love to tinker with my stuff. One of my guns shot pretty mediocre out of the box. A few months, complete disassembly about 9 times and now it shoots amazingly consistent.
Upgrades on GBBR's are just as good on HPA, KC-02's, etc. Josef is just extremely ignorant. Certain GBBR's are tougher and more reliable than any HPA/AEG/etc out there, even some real guns. This is down to Josef being completely ignorant on how airsoft guns work and the aftermarket works, even HPA engines etc take fine tuning sometimes to get them to work out of the box. ruclips.net/video/dMq7NZGQWx8/видео.html Check this video out for instance.
@@kaslab check out vipertech, watch that video. There's a video of one being dropped on it's barrel thirty times and not breaking.

I bought the second "upgrade" of my life, a Poseidon nozzle and what do you know suddenly I can barely split my upper and lower, the carrier sits like a mm further back. Isn't that just wonderful! Hopefully it will be as cold resistant as advertised.
I just received the Inakotsu Colt M4 and it came with buffers and two spring buffers! A plastic light one and a aluminum one! Not sure if that’s supposed to happen or if Evike sent me the buffer because they knew i wanted to try one?

The only thing about my WE PDW I really want to upgrade would be the trigger box once the standard soft internals have worn out. I heard RA-Tech is the way to go. Otherwise I’d only want to "upgrade" my PDW back to stock, when I’m outside of Germany. Btw, can I buy WE gearbox parts separately like the auto sear, for example? Or do I have to buy a whole trigger box? Now that I think of it, it might even be a good thing to have different trigger boxes. Makes changing them easier.
The only "upgrade" I ever bought was a Wii aluminium nozzle for a KWA Mac11. It's measurements are out of spec, almost didn't cycle when I got it, I'm still having a lot of problems with it. And the biggest issue is that it can't run in as low temps as the plastic one.
What I get from this is "dont fix what is not broken". Many ppl starting with airsoft including me are asking what to upgrade/replace at first. Well for starters it seems upgrades has zero sence and stock guns are more than enough. If I understand corectly, upgrades are for enthusiast with years of expirience. Thanks for that.
i 100 percent agree. At least on gas guns. I spent maybe 100 euros on my ssp1 and it shoots pretty much the same as stock. However in aegs upgrades are usually worth it. I have had a few upgraded aegs and they shot way better and lasted longer than when they were stock.
I'm with you on this except NPAS and triggerbox in WE rifles. I've owned a bunch of WE rifles and upgrading to NPAS and swapping some triggerparts is fine but leave the rest of the nozzle and bolt stock unless you like tinkering and troubleshooting. Ra-tech aluminumnozzle is the worst offender and belongs in the trashcan.
The aluminium nozzle actually can work out alright, but you should never go for an aluminium nozzle on anything but an OBA/DNA/ViperTech, and even then a poly nozzle would be better. But no,p Josef is showing his absolute ignorance right now. He doesn't understand how teching, of GBBR's work etc... he has some basic knowledge just because he's a playing but he doesn't know what he's talking about. In this video he received a 1joule nozzle in a carrier. It is doing its job perfectly fine. Yet he started an 8 minute video to whine about a part that was functioning, instead of taking the stock nozzle out and putting it in then testing it.
in spain is pretty usefull as the max for this role is 1.14 jules and in cqbs maps u need to be less than 1.0 jule no matter the gun, a shotgun , a pistol... lmgs snipers all the rest have the average fps as the rest of europe but in the average role is only 1.14 jules MAX
the only Upgrade i've installed in my GBBRs are new hopup bucking and Laylax inner barrels. Steel Ratech bolt are okay too, but you need to lightening first. till it weight the same as the original bolt. and whats funny, i've lighten my steel bolt by looking at the shape of those Real Steel light bolt for AR15. works well with no problem. if only theres aluminium bolt for my WE 416 i would buy it lol.
Nooo Josef, why didnt you buy the VFC one? :) What are you thoughts on the different brands? I bought the VFC MP7 couple of weeks ago, feels solid, hop-up is a bit stiff but seems to work pretty well. Did not have the chance field it yet (yay corona).
@@liammaxfield4432 in the past yes, but for the past 2-3 years they have gotten much much much better to the point they are better then ghk because vfc actually has relatively decent qc unlike ghk that basically doesn’t have any
Well, I can't say about gas guns, but for aeg or spring, upgrades are awesome, some are unnecessary, but some are pretty damn cool. As a airsoft tech, I'm surprised and saddened that airsoft companies do such a poor job at assembling their guns. Shimming and aoe are most of the time very crappy, even in high end guns. And worst thing people tolerate that shit. Like you wouldn't do that with phones or whatever
Gas comes upgrades are good as well. Rather they should be called aftermarket because even an AEG you're going to know how to install the part and diagnose if there's some sort of timing issue or perhaps your motor isn't strong enough. Joshua here has no idea how to tack on guns they made a full auto Glock with a pot metal disconnector and it's already starting to bust on players just months after being released. So not rich is one of the biggest culprits in putting bad parts into guns and selling basically stockguns working in ways that they're not intended to and obviously breaking down faster they're also assembled bad so I don't think he knows how to put guns together or tech them. He's so ignorant about basic premises of how the aftermarket works are you putting a car together by yourself do you know how to change an intercooler kit on your own for a turbo? The vast majority of people that do that do not and have to take it to a mechanic. So even in computers where it's much easier to upgrade something you need to know how to diagnose or know if there's a compatibility issue if it's going to fit with your RAM or a myriad of other things that could go wrong. And when you're replacing things in a mechanical system like a gas blowback rifle or an AG's gears piston cylinder head you're going to need to know how to fix something if it goes wrong. Unfortunately he doesn't know how to do it so he's coming here to complain for 8 minutes about something where he's just ignorant.
@@ValaskaErgonomic I agree, if he did it properly, it would probably not break. I don't want to be rude, but him and Chris don't know some things that most techs call basic, it's funny to me when they come up with "something new", and it's something that regular people have been doing for some time. Like tdc for example. I like that they lowered the prices, but still, people expect to get what they pay for, great guns, that shoot great and are reliable, and that seems not to be the case sadly
@@slavicblood5192 it's kind of weird though the ssx23 is actually more expensive in Europe cuz you can just buy the STI one and put the Hatcher on in it for $60 in total... But it is kind of cheaper than trying to buy it here in North America since Customs is going really crazy lately with airsoft guns. But yeah him saying that parts should just fit drop in I mean in a deal world sure but the companies that are making these are having such loose tolerances that when another company that better understands the system makes a better tolerance part... They can account for the fact that the stock gun might have tolerances so thrown out and loose it will need some fitting.
@@ValaskaErgonomic Of course there is gonna be some fitting problems, they can't make stuff that fit all possible set-ups. Almost everyone have loose tolerances, it's annoying, but what can you do. I like ssx23, and sse18, but honestly I'm bit disappointed with them, sse18 is just nicer looking cyma aep that you can put red dot on, no better gearbox or anything, I know it's aep, so whatever, but still. Similar with ssx23. Ssg10 is pretty good for noob snipers, for "pros" not so much (srs owner here haha). But I'm very disappointed with ssr15, they just slapped titan into damn vfc, which is also space trooper ar15. And we all know that vfc are crap inside, even if they actually shim it properly and correct aoe haha If I was airsoft manufacturer, I'd have only high end guns, that are fully upgraded, that you just can't do anything to make them better, also no space guns, only milsim guns
Yes, you can differentiate 100% from the vfc without ever holding any on them before: 1. See the square « notch » on the front sight when closed? The VFC is almost flush. 2. Mags: See the grove where you see the BBs. On VFC it is wider, allowing to fill from the middle of the mag, not only the lip. 3. Finally, the bolt assembly is different. VFC one is a rectangle with a huge long a$$ “rod” on the top. KWA is only a rectangle
Ok so let’s say, like me you purchase a retro arms receiver, gearbox with the integrated hop, and the outer barrel and rail. So is everything else you purchase “upgrades” or is the entire gun just one big upgrade 🤔
lol I like to just call it aftermarket. And it's fine to do this with GBBR's and pistols btw, I have a completely airsoftmasterpiece build on my desk right now.
It is very simple, if it does not work out of the box very well (do not accept: 'it works ok, maybe it's better upgraded'). it is not worth the time or effort, each new part you introduce only increases the amount of problems and time consumption of a non fieldable gbb, or even worse, you think its working and then there is a complete failure in the field. The absolute max you ever need to change is the barrel and bucking.
The only airsoft GBB rifle worth their salt is the Marui MWS family honestly, it's the least troubled (if at all) GBBR of all existing things out there
@@opairsoft8100 Except external quality I beg to differ. The Vipertech uses the WA system and while not bad and is internally more realistic, is that the MWS is extremely consistent (hell that thing shoots in Japanese winter running on 134A like a boss while WA systems would froze over) with a much better bolt stop design. This thing outta the box shoots like an AEG in terms of accuracy and consistency. And that it's like about 1/3 to 2/5 the price of a Vipertech it'd be fairer to compare to the TWS more than the vanilla MWS
On gas guns aftermarket upgrades are great too. You just need to know what you are buying, and how to fit them/tune. In this video Josef received a low power nozzle in a bolt carrier he didn't even buy and then went on to slander/whine about it for 8 minutes.
@@ValaskaErgonomic again: if you listen properly, I said that I worked on both of the carriers meaning I had them disassembled (check today's story on IG) and nozzles are the same. So you're not right.
@@JosefMucha100 Josef, if the nozzles were the same they would work the same. What do you think the Carrier is going to do? All the carrier does is, surprise, carry the guts back and forth. The valve locker, flute valve, nozzle choke, and the inner barrel are what are going to dictate the joules out. The carrier and recoil spring are only going to really affect your cut off time and the amount of gas used to cycle the system. Lighten it, less gas is needed to shut the flute valve off and start the carrier being cycled back. That's it. It can do, literally, nothing more than make the system less or more efficient.
@@ValaskaErgonomic Actually, if the bolt is tight, rough or has any burrs or ledges on the inside where the nozzle meets the bolt, then the nozzle will get stuck/retract early, causing a drop in fps with either nozzle. This can also happen with a heavier nozzle spring. That is why the ssp1 has a tight hop up unit to nozzle fit, resulting in the nozzle staying connected to the barrel for as long as possible, giving better fps and fps consistency.
I'm with you on this one. 99% of the times, _upgrades_ are detrimental. Very few exceptions to the rule. Guns are fine tuned by the engineers at each company, and the moment you change one of the variables, everything else collapse around it. Not to mention companies that sells upgrades usually know a lot about marketing, but don't even understand the very basics of how a GBB works. And yeah, I'm looking at you, Poseidon. Never thought a company could design such bad upgrades that would make RA-Tech look great by comparison -_- Since I'm here early, the issue with your P90 is probably the floating valve ;)
This is completely bunk and write ng. The guns are not "fine tuned" at the factory, they are putting in parts that take the minimum about of machining and material to make the most profit. The factory cannot afford to make parts out of 6061 etc Upgrades are almost invariable better, but you need to know what they are and how to diagnose issues but invariable they improve the gun. He is complaining about a low flow nozzle... And he doesn't even understand how the flute valve spring works. He THINKS he knows how it works, but he doesn't. That's the real issue, people who think they know how this stuff work. Like how he thinks his auto Glock with a pot metal disconnector won't get ruined. Surprise, the Nov Glocks are already busting. Or how the SsG10 came out of his shop with assembly issues leading to ruined cylinders and improperly installed trigger boxes. This man doesn't know how to install aftermarket parts OR to tune them. Of course it requires some knowledge, have you ever changed your trigger or chamber out on a real firearm? How about your engine in a car or a cooler kit? Same shit is here, you are changing parts out on mechanical system. Poseidon's parts work amazingly and they know how these systems work better than you ever will. This is YOU know understanding how they work or to diagnose issues.
@@ValaskaErgonomic really??? are you gonna defend Poseidon, the company that sells piston heads made of teflon *backup rings* instead of, you know, anything that provides an actual seal????? the ones that sell valve shims to *prevent the valve locker from engaging* and market it as as a miracle for cooldown resistance??? All they know of is marketing. And you have 110% fallen for it.
@@facundocorradini Yes I am going to defend poseidon, delrin rings work fine as long as you put them into the right nozzle size. I can take a video of my WE P226 and show you it working fine if you want. Or the HiCapa I have one in, or the TM PX4, or an HK3P PX4, etc. The head and delrin spacers work perfectly fine so long as you have them in the right gun. The "valve shims" I'm assuming you mean the bullet valve shims? Turbo valve shims? Yeah they work perfectly fine too, they release less gas... it's a pretty simple concept and it actually helps cold-weather performance. With less released each punch means less liquid manages to get out, which... you should already be following, which means less cooldown. It's not a massive change but it will help with cool down. Can it interfere with your valve locker being able to fully engage? Theoretically. Have I ever seen that issue happen? No not when they are installed correctly. ruclips.net/video/wdaPgV5AqZ4/видео.html Are they worth it at the end of the day? Only if you want some extra efficiency and are really worried about dumping too much raw liquid on a cold day. The effects aren't out of the world but it does do what they say; ruclips.net/video/HIbR9Ekm5NY/видео.html
@@facundocorradini if you check other videos, this guy only comes here to complain and explain that I I'm wrong. It's always the same... don't spend time arguing with him, not worth it.
@@JosefMucha100 Because you're wrong. So yeah, I'm here to inform people you are regularly wrong, Josef. You run a pre-upgrade shop that puts out shoddy guns that break in the hands of people at a markup. With nothing but stock parts and a few tiny bits replaced. So not only are you a hypocrite, but you're selling products you don't believe in? Because I know for a fact you make NONE OF THE PARTS you put into your guns. You don't make that trigger unit for the JG BAR 10, you don't make your TDC's either. You do not make the STI MK23 or the Hadron TDC, etc. Those are "upgrade parts." So are they only good when they are poorly assembled and barely function by Novrtisch brand? Or are they bad even then?
ok...i got some experience on this and i think there are few points worth to mention... 1. upgrades for GBBs means mostly durability not performance... initial performance is already good and their goal is to replicate lethal guns, not to achieve fancy miserable performances possible only in airoft anyway...like over 1000 ROF on a regular gun... 2. since gas is not some exact science...you need to know what you're doing anyway...or just let it stock 3. if you buy GBBs you most likely want realism not performance...so better focus on reliability and feeling 4. most manufacturers offer disgusting quality (internal atleast) so you NEED to "upgrade" them to steel parts sooner or later...AND are also way overpriced for what they can offer (especially WE Tech) soo...yeh...know your market, buy second-hand if you can...then upgrade with FINALLY relable parts...-,- 5. i think i figured out a way to use compressed air instead of Gas/CO2...so...save costs ! But i definitely need to test it way more...but it's possible! 6. the only real upgrades for GBBs which can really increase performance a bit are : Barrel and HopUp. (adjustable NPas is a nice thing...and i still can't understand why they don't manufacture this as stock...anyway.."besides wanting you to buy more stuff"...) all in all...unfortunately..."upgrades = just reliability" more and more...not performance...
@@Holret all about prefferences if you're mostly into action, games and so on, just fun...probably paintball is good if you're into guns mostly, want to play with guns without killing things, learn and even train...then there is no match for airsoft...

Title should say "why I hate downgrades". Upgrades by definition are good. Example: replacing stock rubber with one that can lift the BBs you want to use, stock crap barrel with a high end one...etc. Click bait I guess, surprise.
holy shit there is sooo much wrong with this video, upgrades can be really good for your replicas they are not bad at all, now stock guns can be good don't get me wrong, perosnally i would recomend you run your replicas stock until they brake and only then upgrade them, what is going on in this video is that Josef gets a free bolt (most likely a cqb bolt idk as he never named it) now he said he disliked it because it only gives him 0.8j with .40g bbs which idk why he is? it's an mp7 i don't use them in my full sized ak12 i personally think that .40 are way to much for that type of gun .28 or .30s should be good enough for that type of gun, with .28 he should be getting at least over 1j, now he said that he gets 1.8 to 2j on his stock replica which again i think is too much for that type of gun, at least the rules where i am is that automatic replicas are limited to 1.5j, now he is complaing that his small pdw that he put a bolt with a weaker valve spring is giving him 0.8j and not being able to hop .40g bbs (again too heavy for that type of gun) he says that you shouldn't buy upgrades for your guns even tho he works for a company that sells you replicas which selling point is that they are pre upgraded, so why not just run a cyma vsr10 then josef??? it's like a 90e replica why buy the novritch one for over 300e, his point is that it's complicated to upgrade your replicas, and yes it can be and that's why if you don't want to be bothered with that just take it to a tech, pay them 20-30e or how much they charge and they will make your replica work, because they have experiance with that sorta stuff, upgrades work but you have to know what you are doing you can't put a random bolt in your mp7 that you got for free and don't even know what it is and then be suprised when it shoots lower then your stock replica, you need to know which parts are compatible with others, and there is a lot to lean as an airsoft tech so don't post videos like this when you don't know what you are talking about please
stock guns are china crap internals. Aftermarket upgrades are a little less shitty china crap. But if done correctly it will out last and outperform stock guns. Cast pot metal vs steel common dude which is better?. ABS plastic or aluminum which is going to last.

He doesn't understand how teching, of GBBR's work etc... he has some basic knowledge just because he's a playing but he doesn't know what he's talking about. In this video he received a 1joule nozzle in a carrier. It is doing its job perfectly fine. Yet he started an 8 minute video to whine about a part that was functioning, instead of taking the stock nozzle out and putting it in then testing it.
in spain is pretty usefull as the max for this role is 1.14 jules and in cqbs maps u need to be less than 1.0 jule no matter the gun, a shotgun , a pistol... lmgs snipers all the rest have the average fps as the rest of europe but in the average role is only 1.14 jules MAX
the only Upgrade i've installed in my GBBRs are new hopup bucking and Laylax inner barrels.
Steel Ratech bolt are okay too, but you need to lightening first. till it weight the same as the original bolt. and whats funny, i've lighten my steel bolt by looking at the shape of those Real Steel light bolt for AR15. works well with no problem.
if only theres aluminium bolt for my WE 416 i would buy it lol.
are you gonna get the vfc mp7 gbb that is 1/1 size?
That the vfc mp7?
Nice video. Can you please make a review on the mp7?
Nooo Josef, why didnt you buy the VFC one? :) What are you thoughts on the different brands? I bought the VFC MP7 couple of weeks ago, feels solid, hop-up is a bit stiff but seems to work pretty well. Did not have the chance field it yet (yay corona).
Because the vfc mp7 is straight garbage

Well, I can't say about gas guns, but for aeg or spring, upgrades are awesome, some are unnecessary, but some are pretty damn cool. As a airsoft tech, I'm surprised and saddened that airsoft companies do such a poor job at assembling their guns. Shimming and aoe are most of the time very crappy, even in high end guns. And worst thing people tolerate that shit. Like you wouldn't do that with phones or whatever
Gas comes upgrades are good as well. Rather they should be called aftermarket because even an AEG you're going to know how to install the part and diagnose if there's some sort of timing issue or perhaps your motor isn't strong enough.
Joshua here has no idea how to tack on guns they made a full auto Glock with a pot metal disconnector and it's already starting to bust on players just months after being released. So not rich is one of the biggest culprits in putting bad parts into guns and selling basically stockguns working in ways that they're not intended to and obviously breaking down faster they're also assembled bad so I don't think he knows how to put guns together or tech them.
He's so ignorant about basic premises of how the aftermarket works are you putting a car together by yourself do you know how to change an intercooler kit on your own for a turbo? The vast majority of people that do that do not and have to take it to a mechanic. So even in computers where it's much easier to upgrade something you need to know how to diagnose or know if there's a compatibility issue if it's going to fit with your RAM or a myriad of other things that could go wrong.
And when you're replacing things in a mechanical system like a gas blowback rifle or an AG's gears piston cylinder head you're going to need to know how to fix something if it goes wrong.
Unfortunately he doesn't know how to do it so he's coming here to complain for 8 minutes about something where he's just ignorant.
@@ValaskaErgonomic I agree, if he did it properly, it would probably not break. I don't want to be rude, but him and Chris don't know some things that most techs call basic, it's funny to me when they come up with "something new", and it's something that regular people have been doing for some time. Like tdc for example. I like that they lowered the prices, but still, people expect to get what they pay for, great guns, that shoot great and are reliable, and that seems not to be the case sadly
@@slavicblood5192 it's kind of weird though the ssx23 is actually more expensive in Europe cuz you can just buy the STI one and put the Hatcher on in it for $60 in total... But it is kind of cheaper than trying to buy it here in North America since Customs is going really crazy lately with airsoft guns.
But yeah him saying that parts should just fit drop in I mean in a deal world sure but the companies that are making these are having such loose tolerances that when another company that better understands the system makes a better tolerance part... They can account for the fact that the stock gun might have tolerances so thrown out and loose it will need some fitting.
@@ValaskaErgonomic Of course there is gonna be some fitting problems, they can't make stuff that fit all possible set-ups. Almost everyone have loose tolerances, it's annoying, but what can you do. I like ssx23, and sse18, but honestly I'm bit disappointed with them, sse18 is just nicer looking cyma aep that you can put red dot on, no better gearbox or anything, I know it's aep, so whatever, but still. Similar with ssx23. Ssg10 is pretty good for noob snipers, for "pros" not so much (srs owner here haha). But I'm very disappointed with ssr15, they just slapped titan into damn vfc, which is also space trooper ar15. And we all know that vfc are crap inside, even if they actually shim it properly and correct aoe haha If I was airsoft manufacturer, I'd have only high end guns, that are fully upgraded, that you just can't do anything to make them better, also no space guns, only milsim guns
And all of them would have to be properly assembled and go through quality control that care. The they would be pricey, but at least worth the money
is this the KWA?
Yes, you can differentiate 100% from the vfc without ever holding any on them before:
1. See the square « notch » on the front sight when closed? The VFC is almost flush.
2. Mags: See the grove where you see the BBs. On VFC it is wider, allowing to fill from the middle of the mag, not only the lip.
3. Finally, the bolt assembly is different. VFC one is a rectangle with a huge long a$$ “rod” on the top. KWA is only a rectangle
Ok so let’s say, like me you purchase a retro arms receiver, gearbox with the integrated hop, and the outer barrel and rail. So is everything else you purchase “upgrades” or is the entire gun just one big upgrade 🤔
lol I like to just call it aftermarket. And it's fine to do this with GBBR's and pistols btw, I have a completely airsoftmasterpiece build on my desk right now.
Ive got a question, ive got tons of .45 bbs, would you rather use that over .4s? My ggbrs are we mp5 and 416c
It is very simple, if it does not work out of the box very well (do not accept: 'it works ok, maybe it's better upgraded').
it is not worth the time or effort, each new part you introduce only increases the amount of problems and time consumption of a non fieldable gbb, or even worse, you think its working and then there is a complete failure in the field.
The absolute max you ever need to change is the barrel and bucking.
The only airsoft GBB rifle worth their salt is the Marui MWS family honestly, it's the least troubled (if at all) GBBR of all existing things out there
Nope, vipertech beats the mws easily in everything besides cost
@@opairsoft8100 Except external quality I beg to differ.
The Vipertech uses the WA system and while not bad and is internally more realistic, is that the MWS is extremely consistent (hell that thing shoots in Japanese winter running on 134A like a boss while WA systems would froze over) with a much better bolt stop design. This thing outta the box shoots like an AEG in terms of accuracy and consistency.
And that it's like about 1/3 to 2/5 the price of a Vipertech it'd be fairer to compare to the TWS more than the vanilla MWS
one thimg... u from czech?
Works for company that sells pre-upgraded replicas. 'Why I hate upgrades' 🧐🤔
Change "upgrades" for "downgrades", as it title is just clickbait, don't take it literally
Break a cheap lighter to get a heavy nozzle spring and o rings! Break a Bic lighter to get new heavy GBBP nozzle return springs free!
I cant tell for gas-guns but on AEGs upgrades are not bad... Good Video!
On gas guns aftermarket upgrades are great too. You just need to know what you are buying, and how to fit them/tune. In this video Josef received a low power nozzle in a bolt carrier he didn't even buy and then went on to slander/whine about it for 8 minutes.
@@ValaskaErgonomic again: if you listen properly, I said that I worked on both of the carriers meaning I had them disassembled (check today's story on IG) and nozzles are the same. So you're not right.
@@JosefMucha100 Josef, if the nozzles were the same they would work the same. What do you think the Carrier is going to do? All the carrier does is, surprise, carry the guts back and forth. The valve locker, flute valve, nozzle choke, and the inner barrel are what are going to dictate the joules out.
The carrier and recoil spring are only going to really affect your cut off time and the amount of gas used to cycle the system. Lighten it, less gas is needed to shut the flute valve off and start the carrier being cycled back. That's it. It can do, literally, nothing more than make the system less or more efficient.
@@ValaskaErgonomic Actually, if the bolt is tight, rough or has any burrs or ledges on the inside where the nozzle meets the bolt, then the nozzle will get stuck/retract early, causing a drop in fps with either nozzle. This can also happen with a heavier nozzle spring.
That is why the ssp1 has a tight hop up unit to nozzle fit, resulting in the nozzle staying connected to the barrel for as long as possible, giving better fps and fps consistency.
I agree, upgrading aeg is more or less mandatory if it aint a high end one and then i dont mean vfc "high end"
I'm with you on this one. 99% of the times, _upgrades_ are detrimental. Very few exceptions to the rule. Guns are fine tuned by the engineers at each company, and the moment you change one of the variables, everything else collapse around it. Not to mention companies that sells upgrades usually know a lot about marketing, but don't even understand the very basics of how a GBB works. And yeah, I'm looking at you, Poseidon. Never thought a company could design such bad upgrades that would make RA-Tech look great by comparison -_-
Since I'm here early, the issue with your P90 is probably the floating valve ;)
This is completely bunk and write ng. The guns are not "fine tuned" at the factory, they are putting in parts that take the minimum about of machining and material to make the most profit. The factory cannot afford to make parts out of 6061 etc
Upgrades are almost invariable better, but you need to know what they are and how to diagnose issues but invariable they improve the gun.
He is complaining about a low flow nozzle... And he doesn't even understand how the flute valve spring works. He THINKS he knows how it works, but he doesn't. That's the real issue, people who think they know how this stuff work.
Like how he thinks his auto Glock with a pot metal disconnector won't get ruined. Surprise, the Nov Glocks are already busting. Or how the SsG10 came out of his shop with assembly issues leading to ruined cylinders and improperly installed trigger boxes.
This man doesn't know how to install aftermarket parts OR to tune them. Of course it requires some knowledge, have you ever changed your trigger or chamber out on a real firearm? How about your engine in a car or a cooler kit? Same shit is here, you are changing parts out on mechanical system.
Poseidon's parts work amazingly and they know how these systems work better than you ever will. This is YOU know understanding how they work or to diagnose issues.
@@ValaskaErgonomic really??? are you gonna defend Poseidon, the company that sells piston heads made of teflon *backup rings* instead of, you know, anything that provides an actual seal????? the ones that sell valve shims to *prevent the valve locker from engaging* and market it as as a miracle for cooldown resistance???
All they know of is marketing. And you have 110% fallen for it.
@@facundocorradini Yes I am going to defend poseidon, delrin rings work fine as long as you put them into the right nozzle size. I can take a video of my WE P226 and show you it working fine if you want. Or the HiCapa I have one in, or the TM PX4, or an HK3P PX4, etc. The head and delrin spacers work perfectly fine so long as you have them in the right gun.
The "valve shims" I'm assuming you mean the bullet valve shims? Turbo valve shims? Yeah they work perfectly fine too, they release less gas... it's a pretty simple concept and it actually helps cold-weather performance. With less released each punch means less liquid manages to get out, which... you should already be following, which means less cooldown. It's not a massive change but it will help with cool down. Can it interfere with your valve locker being able to fully engage? Theoretically. Have I ever seen that issue happen? No not when they are installed correctly.
ruclips.net/video/wdaPgV5AqZ4/видео.html
Are they worth it at the end of the day? Only if you want some extra efficiency and are really worried about dumping too much raw liquid on a cold day. The effects aren't out of the world but it does do what they say;
ruclips.net/video/HIbR9Ekm5NY/видео.html
@@facundocorradini if you check other videos, this guy only comes here to complain and explain that I I'm wrong. It's always the same... don't spend time arguing with him, not worth it.
@@JosefMucha100 Because you're wrong. So yeah, I'm here to inform people you are regularly wrong, Josef. You run a pre-upgrade shop that puts out shoddy guns that break in the hands of people at a markup. With nothing but stock parts and a few tiny bits replaced. So not only are you a hypocrite, but you're selling products you don't believe in? Because I know for a fact you make NONE OF THE PARTS you put into your guns. You don't make that trigger unit for the JG BAR 10, you don't make your TDC's either. You do not make the STI MK23 or the Hadron TDC, etc.
Those are "upgrade parts." So are they only good when they are poorly assembled and barely function by Novrtisch brand? Or are they bad even then?
ok...i got some experience on this and i think there are few points worth to mention...
1. upgrades for GBBs means mostly durability not performance...
initial performance is already good and their goal is to replicate lethal guns, not to achieve fancy miserable performances possible only in airoft anyway...like over 1000 ROF on a regular gun...
2. since gas is not some exact science...you need to know what you're doing anyway...or just let it stock
3. if you buy GBBs you most likely want realism not performance...so better focus on reliability and feeling
4. most manufacturers offer disgusting quality (internal atleast) so you NEED to "upgrade" them to steel parts sooner or later...AND are also way overpriced for what they can offer (especially WE Tech) soo...yeh...know your market, buy second-hand if you can...then upgrade with FINALLY relable parts...-,-
5. i think i figured out a way to use compressed air instead of Gas/CO2...so...save costs ! But i definitely need to test it way more...but it's possible!
6. the only real upgrades for GBBs which can really increase performance a bit are : Barrel and HopUp. (adjustable NPas is a nice thing...and i still can't understand why they don't manufacture this as stock...anyway.."besides wanting you to buy more stuff"...)
all in all...unfortunately..."upgrades = just reliability" more and more...not performance...
this type of comments is exactly why I think Paintball is better.
@@Holret all about prefferences
if you're mostly into action, games and so on, just fun...probably paintball is good
if you're into guns mostly, want to play with guns without killing things, learn and even train...then there is no match for airsoft...
@@Splina. thats some fantasy. you cannot train while playing airsoft, not when you have 8 year olds with AEG's shooting at you at 20rps and people going nuts.
@@Holret i'm not talking about full or high-level field training, of course airsoft have it's limitations...
i'm talking about weapon handling, maintenance, aim, reloads and even tactics / your movements....
yes, even this...just think...in order to compete with those aeg trogs you need to know what you're doing and use everything else to your advantage
on top of that watch this:
ruclips.net/video/qQDfwyUgtjg/видео.html&ab_channel=T.REXARMS
0 interaction with a lethal gun before but he seems to handle them at very high level
how if you can't train with airsofts??
Agreed!
Dude, you are botting right? You are on every single fucking video I watch
upgrades mean: gun shoot better.....
Title should say "why I hate downgrades". Upgrades by definition are good. Example: replacing stock rubber with one that can lift the BBs you want to use, stock crap barrel with a high end one...etc.
Click bait I guess, surprise.
holy shit there is sooo much wrong with this video, upgrades can be really good for your replicas they are not bad at all, now stock guns can be good don't get me wrong, perosnally i would recomend you run your replicas stock until they brake and only then upgrade them, what is going on in this video is that Josef gets a free bolt (most likely a cqb bolt idk as he never named it) now he said he disliked it because it only gives him 0.8j with .40g bbs which idk why he is? it's an mp7 i don't use them in my full sized ak12 i personally think that .40 are way to much for that type of gun .28 or .30s should be good enough for that type of gun, with .28 he should be getting at least over 1j, now he said that he gets 1.8 to 2j on his stock replica which again i think is too much for that type of gun, at least the rules where i am is that automatic replicas are limited to 1.5j, now he is complaing that his small pdw that he put a bolt with a weaker valve spring is giving him 0.8j and not being able to hop .40g bbs (again too heavy for that type of gun) he says that you shouldn't buy upgrades for your guns even tho he works for a company that sells you replicas which selling point is that they are pre upgraded, so why not just run a cyma vsr10 then josef??? it's like a 90e replica why buy the novritch one for over 300e, his point is that it's complicated to upgrade your replicas, and yes it can be and that's why if you don't want to be bothered with that just take it to a tech, pay them 20-30e or how much they charge and they will make your replica work, because they have experiance with that sorta stuff, upgrades work but you have to know what you are doing you can't put a random bolt in your mp7 that you got for free and don't even know what it is and then be suprised when it shoots lower then your stock replica, you need to know which parts are compatible with others, and there is a lot to lean as an airsoft tech so don't post videos like this when you don't know what you are talking about please
I would say... upgrade your bucking, barrel n spring... the rest, wait for stuff to break, then replace those parts.
stock guns are china crap internals. Aftermarket upgrades are a little less shitty china crap. But if done correctly it will out last and outperform stock guns. Cast pot metal vs steel common dude which is better?. ABS plastic or aluminum which is going to last.
GBBR still rulez 🤙🏽
Horrible
i rather upgrade my hi capas nd glocks
then ay with stock guns stock is boring all my guns gone have upgrades
