Hi,

Can anyone recomend a basic mosfet gadget which I can use to replace the stock switch and single shot cut off mechanism on the G18C AEP gearbox I am planning to use for my M1 Carbine project? It will only need to be single shot, I don't really want full auto as an option.

Thanks

Ranj

My recomendations are ask midas or the breach mosfet bloke on zero in. Or ask on airsot mechanics forum be warnd tho they are eleitest snobs (no time for newbs) their and will flame you if you dont scoure the entier forum for you answer first.

That's why I asked here: Good people. "Normal" airsofters are c***s. :wink:

I am actually building something that will do this for my college project but it'll be a while before I complete it.

If you want something straight away, (and something with a proven track record), this is one that looks like it would do the job, it's the Avocado Burst Regulator; you can buy it on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Avocado-Burst ... 2ec298e38a and there's a review of it here http://www.booliganairsoft.com/2012/12/ ... or-20.html

Thanks Pete. That's the most useful info on how you actually use a something like that I have seen. The position of the AEP gearbox in the carbine will rule out using the existing trigger switch and cut off lever and this looks like it will do the job, but the con the reviewer refers to, rapid fire single shot stopping the gun, could be a problem. I will probably give it a go.

I also saw this which looked interesting: [link]http://www.airsoftworld.net/burst-wizard-kk-plug-and-play-mosfet-king-kong-deans.html[/link]

i have a king kong and its really good,also has the option to permanently wire it in and in that configuration rapid single shots with a good trigger response are no problem. you would need a micro switch connected to the trigger for either type .

From the eBay ad:

...acts as a MOSFET to regulate your power source...

(remembering that this thing only plugs in between your HT trigger and the battery)
How can it act like a MOS-FET then, when your still using your HT trigger to control the 'fire' activation? It doesn't seem to provide an LT trigger contact which is what the whole point of putting a MOS-FET in your gun is for. The part about that it will "regulate your power source" could be true, but who wants to regulate the current path between a high-drain battery pack and a motor which relies on high current draw for optimum/efficient operation?
As an electronics engineer, I'd just like to say... WTF?

Does the existing trigger now just act as microswitch would to set the ball roilling as it where. I'm not too bothered as long as it works, gives me single shot and I can dispense with the existing trigger switch and cut off mechanism....

from what i can see all the current still goes through the trigger switch just the fet will remotely cut of the power

the later kk ones can be used as plug and play or be hard wired like a conventional fet taking the load off the trigger switch.when used in plug and play you lose out on some of the benefits in the way of fine tuning so it always cycles a complete cycle and leaves the spring un-compressed and you lose the faster trigger response and in fact the trigger response is worse as it has a slow start designed in as a trigger switch protection.in short if you wire it in you get a load more benefit's and are closer to ptw style gearbox control not to mention the burst mode you want to make it semi only,if you don't then all you get is a programmable shot count in burst mode and slower trigger response than normal.they really are a cool piece kit at a reasonable price, any other fet that has these features is about £80 + .airsoft world has them at a good price, i wouldn't go second hand when new is only £29.99 plus p+p

Indeed, I know enough about electronics to know that used is normally a bad idea. If a component fails on a new one I might stand a chance of a replacement, Airsoft world have always been very good.
