Default Creeping Death tank question...

Hey Creeping Death, I was reading past threads and came across this from you around mid-July. Are you still working on that fully adjustable hop up? 424/330 fps has got my interest, as did your question the other day about "How many fps is to much?" I almost ordered the Tiger turret tonight, but am waiting to see if you've got a stronger gun coming soon.

"Sorry but Creeping death is the only one to offer a recoil/airsoft/laser combo....so far in an rc tank. the united states economy has somewhat slowed try selling overseas. and on a side note yes we will be selling turrets soon. also we are making some major gun options for the near future. these will feature a fully adjustable hop up, fps on with A 12 GRAM bb around 424fps. with a 20 gram 330fps. we've in essence converted a type 3 airsoft box. the future is very bright as far as we can tell for rc tanks Swath.

Thanks!

Now, thats very interesting shooting power is increasing = winner on the battlefield

We are at least 2 in the panzerteam to order the Tiger turret, and if the gun could be even more powerfull, I'm going with that [8D]

cheers

our new gun system is a long way from being done. we still have lots of issues the biggest of the issues is space inside the turret. its good to see that there is interest in a 400+ fps gun. we were not too sure how the public would greet something quite so radical. its still a long way from being perfect but we'll keep on working on it. one of our best guys here came up with a completely different gun system that looks even better. so its an ever changing evolving project.

You mean .22 grams, not 22 grams right! 22grams at that fps would punch through 1/2 inch plywood. The guns I build for my tanks shoot .5g steel bb's at 400 fps.

I plan to backfit a couple of your units into existing tanks. My turrets are customized and took many hours to modify. Not worried about voiding the warranty either. I'd like to know if the parts can be swapped over into an already built turret and mantlet?

WOW, if there's an airsoft gun which can be put into our HL tanks that can shoot 400fps I would like to get several. I haven't been able to get even close to that. I wonder if they are totally different units or if they are the stock HL guns modified like what I've been using. I just got my Jagdtiger done with one of my guns and it shoots great (about 250fps or about 150 feet with the gun elevated.

That is will. I wonder if they will be incorporating the tight-bore inner barrels into these airsoft systems

I Don't know for sure but airsoft gun modifaction tests only show that tight bore barrels only give you a few more FPS... You mostly use a tight bore for better acuracy.

in my guns the barrel makes a hugh difference over the HL barrels. But I agree, over a stock 6.05 barrel , a 6.03 barrel adds about 20 fps. but over an HL with I believe a 6.15 barrel, its a world of difference
