Field Report 1 (Jan. 7, 2007)

It was a fine day to play and we played a section of our jungle

I've not yet mastered so I had to follow our pointman and helped him draw some of the tangos out so to speak hehe. But somehow I did not get any confirm kill but there was lots of engagements. I mean a lot coz I spend about 4-5 mags (buhos system nga lang ala pa kasi extra mags) and the rifle held up quite well. I was expecting something to break like the piston body but the new guy with a CA m4 broke his piston first hehe, may be they installed a spring too strong for it or the usual lemon parts, LOL! So far so good.

Some even thought I was using a marui m16 hehe.

Handling...

What I really love about an m16 is the carry handle.

I had no sling so I carried my rifle back to the neutral zoneusing the carry handle and 3 more ways of holding it so limbs tiring out could have some rest. It was so nice to aim with. Solid as a rock, tnx to the fixed stock balancing the rifle really well. There we're

2 more guys using m16’s and I would watch them how they maneuver with it. So I've learned just to move slowly and always point the gun up or down depending on the foliage. For me it was a breather since the m14 and dragunov were way longer it was much easier now with the m16.

Performance...

I was really confident this rifle will hold really well.

- motor.......a really good stock motor capable of cranking a brand new sp130 with ease with a spacer on one end.

- Piston........i drilled bigger ported holes on the piston head and the main body is durable enough coz it won't last this far in my experience with weaker pistons.

- No misfeeds......100% perfect feed even on .25. mag is really good.

- Current FPS.......well I haven't formally chronoed it but it can easily penetrate a coke can's bottom side with some slight crack on the other side...that's about 470-480 in my estimates.

Current set-up...

- sp130 (brand new)

- Type 0 cylinder (taken out from my beat-up DE m86, hehe pigang piga tlga)

- Proper shims and lubrication

- Toyota car horn relay (para bumusina daw baril ko bigla, LOL! joke!)

- Sanyo 9.6 volts 2400 mah sub-c (stock batts can still crank this set up at full charge that is)

- Modified stock piston head

- Modified stock nozzle

- refitted stock cylinder head

......everything else.......STOCK PARTS!

Oh Btw - I did put some support or this plastic strips holders for the lack of better term of those on my receiver so the ears won't get weakened if I carry the gun a lot via the carry handle. The gun do becomes a little heavy once the batteries are in.

Better safe than sorry.
