Gun barrel recoil unit HL Tiger 1

Post by Albinator »

Gentlemen of armor !
Looking into purchasing and fitting the Taigen gun barrel recoil unit, sold by Welsh Dragon for my HL Tiger 1 with RX18 board.
My question then: Will the BB bullets still be possible to fire after the modification? :think:
Have already upgraded the unit with ATRC MKI Anti Track Recoil Circuit.
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

“Tank`s” you !! :clap:

:thumbdown: Sorry A , the recoil unit cannot fire BB's - It only has an LED for gun 'flash' . The metal barrel would need to be remachined to fit a BB unit ( the muzzle brake will have to be opened up to 6mm as well )
to the bouncy room ! Yay !

Saxondog is the only one I know that has achieved bb+ recoil...everything else on the market is pretty much either or ;)

Have you ever thought of two turrets? the change over is quick and simple, a few screws and a few plug swaps and job done, on a smaller scale I have two early model Tiger 1 cupola's, one is as it should be and the other has an mg34 gun mount, it enables me to please the purists and satisfy me. :thumbup: shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
