VA MP5 upgrade

the E1 VA MP5 is now going to be produced with a 7mm gearbox!

go to their website to see

Just curious what is so good about a 7mm gearbox?

I believe it means the bushings are bigger. I'm not really sure to be honest, I just no it's better than 6mm.

Larger bushings, mean more overall stability in your gearboxes.

Agreed, but I dont think a 7mm gearbox is needed

If it makes it more stable then a 7mm gearbox will keep the gun working longer, after all it does shoot ~400fps and that will take its tole on the gearbox.

Well for a TM with a M120 spring, IMO it does not need a 7mm with a M120, but on the other hand, the guns is a E1 so it may need it.... I guess

TM's can't handle M120's stock though..........

I guess it would allow you to be able to put a stronger spring in it with less work on the internals...maybe.

well if you put in metal bushings your set, spring and bushings is all you need for a tm

and a metal spring guide........

Well, it would be really helpful, but I think you could do without it.

airsoftguy had his P90 upgraded with an M110 and his spring guide broke so they had to replace it with a metal one. If you upgrade a TM with just metal bushings and add an M120, you will most definitely have problems pretty quickly.

Really, my MP5A5 hasnt broke yet.

Oh...well it is probably better for the gun to do it anyways.

Agreed, but we are going WAY off topic, Sorry that was my fault

i'm getting the VAmp5a4, comes in tomorrow maybe. have the 7mm been released yet? will mine be a 6mm? and could it handle an m130 spring with the metal bushings and spring guide that are in it?

Yeah probably, just check the tappet plate, maybe you might have to replace it.

I would watch the FPS, most airsofting fields dont allow over 410, or an M120

allright

im goin to a match on the 30th, ill see what it chronos at stock when it comes in

Official, if it is, where is it. It right now has an M120, M130 will line it up at 440 fps.

Once the VA MP5s settle down, they shoot about 380.

um, im not sure im going with my friends, it has to be somewhat close to the northwest suburbs of illinois though.
so if i get an m130, would it settle closer to 400?

it would settle well over 400.

Stealth, what do you mean by settle, when it wears down, or the battery.

the M 120, should be 390-400

haha alright, and i think stealth meant the spring

Say your gun shoots 400 brand new. After a little while, the spring settles in and the fps is more like 380.
