this may sound stupid....

I just cracked opened my m4 today and I found this:

is this bad? If so, how bad?

Styrak · April 19th, 2011, 19:48

Yes, anime characters inside a mechbox is very serious problem.
You should get that looked at.

coach · April 19th, 2011, 20:07

yes sounds stupid. looks fine to me though. what other than the anime toy is an issue to you?

I think he referring to that theres no piston guide on the right side of the M-box.

Thenooblord · April 19th, 2011, 20:22

he may be talking about the fact that the piston guide rail has been cut out of his mechbox shell?

damn just beat me

As you say it; i see it now... Me to was just seeing the maga.

Wow... What kind of m4 is that? Bound to fail miserably.

coach · April 19th, 2011, 20:45

Doesn't look cut out to me and the slots 'are' the piston guides.

Danke · April 19th, 2011, 20:55

Maybe he means the way the spring is all snaked up and the piston is at half stroke?

I will guess Ares or SRC.

Looks like a KWA M4 to me (probably wrong) . The guide rails are cut, but why? The only thing that's kinda keeping the piston align is the sector gear. I predict lots of worn pistons for that gun.

Also, if the purpose is to reduce contact for the piston, it would be better to remove the guide rails from the piston instead.

coach · April 19th, 2011, 22:06

now that I'm at a computer with a larger screen, it does kid of look cut. I can't see why anyone would go through the trouble of doing that though.

To me it looks like a bolt mod. You cut this opening, add a small part that gets caught by the piston dragging back the fake bolt that will slam back in when the piston cycles back.

Look for the thompson bolt mod on youtube. Pretty sure it's it.

RaisinBran · April 20th, 2011, 00:43

Not an Ares M4 that I know of...

Mine has the sides still there. My friend has a JG with a mechbox just like that, well I think it was a JG.

TBH I didn't do anything to it, hell the guide rail popped off when I opened which by the looks of it, was already broken before I checked

Oh and on a side note, please ignore the angry lesbian back there

Styrak · April 20th, 2011, 01:05

What kind of gun is it (brand)? Is it brand new or are you a second/third/fourth owner etc?

Boyso · April 20th, 2011, 01:22

yeah i just thought it looked like what a previous owner could've done without telling you.
