Then you need a new gear set.

-_- Okay... but why exactly are half-tooth pistons so bad? Do you have a link to anything?

You have half a tooth supporting an entire gear train on a decently strong spring... not that complex.

Full tooth gear sets only use half the rack. I don't see where a half toothed piston makes any difference.

Okay, well I guess before I order anything... these are the gears that came stock in my JG g36. (I have altered the contrast on the image slightly so you can see the gears better)

I'm not sure what their quality is, but if they are these or similar to these http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_363&products_id=27806 gears then maybe I could just use them rather than buy a new set again since they are claimed as being able to handle m150 springs by the reviews.

Do you guys think the ones I have could handle the spring?

Also, I get what you're saying about the half-teeth, it'd be easier to remove a tooth if it was a half tooth because it has less contact with the piston than a full tooth.

The gears you linked are very good. A regular piston should release of of your stock gear set. Not to be mean, but the way you word your sentences is very confusing and hard to understand.

If you aren't planning on using a gear set which requires a half tooth piston then just get a full rack piston. They're easier to find.

Okay. I'll order those then. I agree... that sentence with the link in the middle is kind of confusing. I'll try to work on that.

EDIT: I already have a full toothed piston that has the AoE finished for it, so I don't need another goldentrigun. What happened was that I got my piston before I had even ordered the gears, and then didn't notice that the gears would require a half-toothed rack.

EDIT2: Also, metallica, do you think the stock gears I have are good enough or should I still order these gears?

 

[metallicafatcat]

Your gears should be fine. Most gear failures are due to poor shimming.

Alright, sounds good. Maybe I'll have my gearbox back together by the end of the week. Still waiting for my motor to get here though.
