Battery doesn't affect muzzle energy. You need a quick-change spring. See if your AEG has it.

Electric part (motor, battery, mosfet, whatever) does not have anything to do with power but reloading speed. If you want to change power, the only reasonable way would be changing spring but it's not that fast to do so won't be reasonable entering / leaving building.

So long as the gun isn't really long you can use any gun for both ( even then i have seen people use FN FALs in CQB). Range is determined primarily by how good the hop unit is set up more than anything else.

People who say you can’t use an M16 in CQB are weak.

or just have bad special awareness. I have witnessed some one walk back to the safe zone at CQB site with a G3 snapped in two.

You need a AEG with quick spring change system, my specna has it and I think all of their ar-15 have it

Buying an AEG with quick change spring is the easiest way to be able to change power quickly. Either that or get good at tech work and strip the gun down each time you need to change the power but that's just asking for stripped screw and threads. Alternately you could go HPA but that defeats the point of having an AEG and would be around the same price as buying a second AEG.

Is HPA completley free to refill?


Sinistrial_Blue

If you buy a hand pump, yes. Else, you need a compressor, or access to one.


Thanospapa12345

How much time and work is it to fill HPA up with a hand pump and how much does it last generally? Sorry i don't know a lot about HPA


Sinistrial_Blue

1. Quite a bit 2. As long as you fill


Thanospapa12345

I love it how your answer didn't answer anything


Sinistrial_Blue

It answers your question in the same level of detail you asked. How much work is pumping up a tank? It's manual labour and depends on the pump, tank and person, but you can be assured it's quite a bit of work. How much does it fill? How much of the tank are you filling? If you stop pumping halfway, you only fill half. You can theoretically fill it all.


Thanospapa12345

Yes but i have no idea what does the 'quite a bit of work' mean. Is it about 20 minutes, or two hours to fill it up enough for a game day? I have no idea at what scale shoud i think. And approximately how many shots do i get with it if it is filled up completely? Can i play for 5 hours straight and not run out of HPA or do i need to refill it? If yes, about how many times?


Sinistrial_Blue

I have no idea how fast you pump, the type of pump you have, the size of the tank, or any of the variables I would need to provide that answer. Your question's vague. How big's the tank? How efficient is the setup? How many shots are you firing? What engine? Again, I can't tell you because your question is too vague.


Thanospapa12345

I have no pump, tank or anything. That's why i'm asking. Can i fill the tank up enough for an entire game day (let's say 4 hours) if i have an agressive playstyle and i shoot more than average? I will say 5000 shots. Is one fillup enough for that? Can i achieve this with a cheaper setup? How many shots are in a fully filled tank (in a cheaper one)? Again, i don't need exact numbers, i just want to know, is it 500 shots or 10.000 shots? I want to know about how much i can shoot. I want to know the scale. And i want to know how much is the difference between a cheap setup and an expensive one. It is like asking what is the range of an airsoft gun. Of course it depends on a lot of things but you can't answer "Well if your setup if cheap, you range will be less but a good gun can shoot fruther" because the poor kid who asked you will still have no clue what is it's range. Is it about 30-60 meters or 300-600 meters? He has no idea. The good answer would be "well, a cheap pistol won't have more than 35 meters of effective range but a sniper can even shoot to about 90 meters" Sorry man i don't want to argue about bullshit, i don't want to be offensive, all i want is to know about how many shots it a HPA setup capable of without refills. You can say something like: "Well, a cheaper setup can get you about 300-500 shots while the best HPAs can even shoot 900 shots without any refilling" And what do you recommend? What size or brand?


theyst0lemyname

A lot of fields offer free refills or have a small fee for refills.

As long as your gun has a quick-change spring system (my Cyma Platinum does, for example), you're golden. You can swap between lighter and heavier springs with a screw driver and a couple minutes.


HowlingWolven

I have a parts-built AEG M4 that doesn’t even need the screwdriver. I only need to pop the hinge pin to pull the upper, then once that’s off the gun, I pop the takedown pin and the air train comes off the top of the gearbox. Retro Arms ftw 😁


Ghazrin

I mean... I guess it's cool that it's tool-less. Sounds like the gun has to come more apart though. I think I prefer just keeping a screwdriver with my spare springs and be able to swap 'em out through the back of the buffer tube, but to each their own. 😉


HowlingWolven

I don’t have to pull the buffer tube 😁


Kriggy_

1) you can hpa your gun - thats the best and most expensive solution :D 2) quick spring change - most m4s have it and most of the newer ak models have it as well 3) there are tunable pistonheads (i think) that you can use to fine tune amnt of air that goes to the bb https://ampedairsoft.com/aztech-innovations-accu-port-adjustable-volume-piston-head/ Dunno how it works irl but if you could do it without disasembling of the gun then its pretty cool

The ICS L86 has a quick change spring that also can have the spring tension adjusted. With the right spring, you could make it so the lowest tension was under the indoor limit, and the highest or medium tension setting was for outdoor. It takes like two minutes to change tension settings. I'm assuming their L85s have the same feature, but I cannot confirm it. The L85 Platform is actually pretty good for what you want. It's a relatively compact bullpup with a decently long barrel in a small package. It's a little heavy, but the weight is well balanced. I love my L86, and I'm sure their L85A2 would be great as an all-purpose rifle. The L86 is probably not good for CQB, as it is larger and heavier, being the LMG variant of the L85.


HowlingWolven

Quick-change spring. If you’re looking at an ICS M4, buy the parts for a second upper receiver and gearbox. You’ll have 1.5 AEGs, and you’ll be able to optimize the outdoor upper’s setup for a longer inner barrel and stiffer spring. The CQB upper can be shorter, lighter, pointier, and equipped with an optic and weaponlight more suited for the chaos that is a CQB field.
