tokyo marui famas f1 help
 

alright so today i was able to get out to a game and get age verified :D by don, i also got to play a bunch of games with one of his mp5s. He also had a famas which was out of commission and it really looked amazing to me. I was wondering how hard it would be to upgrade this guns fps and gears? The hi torque motor shouldn't be a problem for an m120 spring right?

From what allot of people have said the FAMAS is VERY hard to upgrade and parts are very hard to find. It might be a little different now though.

yea i've also heard that as well but i was hoping the great people on asc could help me out :)

FAMAS is basically the oldest gun in the TM line up. Aftermarket version 1 gears are about as common as unicorns. If you're going to upgrade one, you're better off sticking with a spring that the stock gear can handle for a while, 110s and below. Besides, MS120 will likely push you over 400fps.

whats the fps like in stock form? cause if its around 300-330 then im happy :) and i love the fact that it can rain hell with that high rof

Only TM I can think of that maybe comes close to shooting over 300 consistently is the M14. Most TMs are around 280-290.

so if i drop a m110 in it should be okay on the gears? or nah? and what would the fps be like with an m110

380fps-ish, depending on airseal and barrel length. If you want to play it safe, I'd go with a MS100 and be satisfied with 340ish.

340 is a nice fps id say, would the ms100 put a lot less strain on the gears? keeping me from having to upgrade them right away?

one thing I heard about the FAMAS though is make sure you get the version that has the hopup as the first version of the FAMAS didn't have one.

Also I also heard that if you break your gearbox, only another FAMAS for parts can help you out. Not sure if that's true though.

Going down in power will always reduce the strain on the gears. I know that V2/3 gears can take 100 quite reliably. I don't know where V1 gears stand, though.

hmm alright, as for hi cap mags for this gun where would i be able to get some. i checked a&a but they do not sell the famas mag

Airsoftparts.ca, tell them to order some for you in.

is their website down right now? cause the servers not found

That would appear to be the case. You can just PM Jugglez on ASC, he's the owner.
