BB's dont curve, but go straight in different directions
« on: July 13, 2010, 10:10:04 PM »
I have an upgraded Well MB01 L96.
The bb's don't curve, but they go straight in different directions.
My upgrades are:
Madbull 6.01mm AEG type tightbore barrel
Guarder 70% hop up bucking
PDI Type 96 Hop Up chamber
Piston, Spring, and Spring guide upgrade set
and i duct taped parts of my barrel and put the barrel spacers on it to reduce the barrel flexing.


Any ideas why it would do this?

I've set this gun up and made sure it didn't move at all but it still does this.

Double check to make sure the barrel and inner barrel ave been installed right, the hop-up bucking isn't causing the barrel to be slightly tweaked to one side, clean the barrel, check to make sure the muzzle of the gun is free of debris.

If all else, fails, change BBs and see if that makes a difference. I'd say new manufacturer or weight. Also, inspect your BBs to make sure you didn't get a bad batch by chance.

I'd suggest this as well if everything above fails ;)

Chrono, that was brilliant by far. Oh, and OP... I just noticed you said you used some duct tape for something... make sure that isn't causing your barrel to be a little not-so-straight.

First off thanks for being serious.
I use .28g bb's and they sometimes do this. I'm not sure if the barrel is flexing or something. I use .43g bb's too. Because of the color they're hard to see however. The ones I can see seem to be directly on. And I will try cleaning it. Might be the problem. Recently had a bb explode in the barrel and never actually cleaned it with some cotton and silicon. I'll try that though.

And as for the duct tape, it can't be that, because it doesn't do this in one direction. The direction constantly changes. The consistency at 60 feet is about 1/5 shots are perfect with .28g.

Yeah an exploded bb in the barrel could be 90% of the problem

Do you clean your gun after use every time?

Yes I do.

I think I know what the problem is. I think my outer barrel is loose and wobbles when i shoot. When I took the gun apart the first time I did no notice a small grub screw that holds the outer barrel from unscrewing off of the gun. I stripped half of the threads on it. I bought the gun used with no instructions or anything so yeah..
I might just buy a new gun and put my upgrades in it again.

But the thing is, I also have the front of the outer barrel rubber-banded tightly to the stock so it doesn't move.

That could be it. but even a rubber band isn't gonna fix it cause its still going to move even if its barley noticeable it will still move. buying a new gun might be a good idea if you have the money.

I don't currently have the money. I have about $50 and for a Well/UTG version its about $150 at my local airsoft store (Disruptive). The higher end version of the gun is $2-300 I think.
