Hi everybody
I know that this is already been discussed here, but I'm having some problems :?
I have upgraded my BBMG vortex, by adding a adjustable barrel detent, It works wonderfully, before adding it, the machine gun shoots like a shoot gun, as you can see form the old video, a lot os bbs hitting the target at once with very bad accuracy :evil: [youtube][/youtube]
After adding the detent, this is completely gone :P the bbs go directly to the target at a reasonable accuracy [youtube][/youtube]
But today I removed the detent, I found out that the detent(a bb) is half wast during all the shootings :shock: I was wait for it to dure longer than that :( any helps? thx :)

Scroll down to raw materials, click on metals, find something of the correct size to replace the BB.

That or you could round off a steel rod or something to serve the same purpose by chucking it into a drill press or drill and using a file to round it off.
