Ok had to double check how the switch worked. Thankfully there was a Clue: DC which I don’t use much on the internet but surprisingly applies here – DisConnect. So the side where the DC side is on is the Off-mode. Ok, now this is where having no clue I have a random chance of figuring out: Which of the three (or 6) Switches are the 2 ones I use for on and off.
The Multi-Tester I found was helpful, it gave me a clue but I had to triple check it because I’m should be paranoid of getting it wrong. I had to make sure it could really work. The messy set up below is when I was able to prove that it works. Really just switching it back and forth. On the motor, one socket has a mauve red dot, which is where the RED wire (positive charge) should go. If I would get it wrong I would damage my gears and possibly more.
My own repairs. Before I learned to tinker with my own gun, it suffered a really bad instance of damage which was my fault. I broke the piston. So the gunsmith replaced it with a half metal teethed piston worth 1800. NOW I realize I could have gotten any old piston for 350, and of course I should be skeptical at how much my gunsmith got that for, but its fair game if you don’t know your own gun. Thats why its always important to have a friend who tinkers, at least you know he can give you an honest opinion.
I will happily give my honest opinion in any tinkering queries. Although it will be limited to what I know and I’m not a gunsmith. The thing about “the game” of merchant and patron is tricky. If I wanted a relationship built on good will then I would have it with a friend, but when money exchanges hands then it should safely be assumed a merchant patron relationship. Its not lying for the merchant, its value add and it assumes you are convinced it is actually valuable.
I might sound draconic, well I really am when it comes to Market or Social Norms. If its an exchange of good will, lets keep it that way If it is an exchange of money I plan to keep it within that level (of course still being courteous and amicable). I understand people need to make a living, but I would rather that friends and patronage be clear because when it isn’t feelings are more hurt all around when it is not clear and we make bad assumptions.
C is for Current. I’m using a 20C Lipoly battery for my G3. What got me questioning if it was a bad Idea was when I learned that it was Voltage that determined the WATS driving the motor powerfully enough to pull a more resistant spring. When my Kaptain bought a new M4 at 520fps the guy who sold it to him thinks that 20C is too strong. This is then supported by my observation that Many C14 and C12 lipolies of the 1200-1800mA at the same 11.1V.
Water is used to give analogies regarding electricity, in the analogy of Current I’m thinking its the factor that affects ROF. Now I don’t mind a low ROF, consistency and accuracy is what I’m after because I want the lowest wear and tear on my gun with the best performance. ROF wears down gun faster and favors quantity over quality. So I think I might get myself a 12C 11.1V lipoly next time.
Disclaimer – I have to test this hypothesis (a calculated or educated guess).
