VIDEO: Plastic mechbox Firepower P90 running on an 11.1V li-po battery

Crunchmeister · April 5th, 2009, 00:21

We tried hard to kill this gun, but it refused to die. We tried, but it just wouldn't fail. On the third part, the gun is held with a sustained auto burst of 2:30. We were all sure the mechbox would melt down. A few times, we smelled burning plastic, but despite that, it kept going.

After shooting this video, we loaded up a mag and fired it through the chrony. It still shot at the same 220-240 fps it always did and performed exactly the same in semi, only with an incredible responsive trigger. We tried but couldn't measure the rof as at that speed, the BBs wouldn't feed consistently.

This was shot with my Panasonic Lumix camera, so the video quality isn't great, especially in low light. But you can see and hear everything clearly.

wow dude that thing is durable lol

Crunchmeister · April 5th, 2009, 00:36

It's a crap gun. It has horrible range and shit accuracy, but I'll give it props for being tough. It's not typical for a clearsoft to be this durable.

lol well its gotta have something good....and btw thanks i really wanted to see wat you meant about it being garbage.....

AngelusNex · April 5th, 2009, 00:48

yeah... it has less range/accuracy than the TF 11. BUT DAMN. I've taken it apart before. ALL plastic gears, plastic built in bushings, all plastic mechbox, plastic cylinder... basically the onlothing not plastic are the springs and electrical contacts. motor is random no name tinny thing.

In the video when we were touching the bottom at the ass end we were checking how hot the motor was... by the end it was similar to the battery that we were affraid of blowing up.

I HAVE NO IDEA O.O

in airsoft that is (or at least supposed to be) never a problem... if the gun is working right. I was just affraid of it falling apart and getting shrapnel in my forearm.
