Re: loud G36

what mags are you using ?
what ammo type?
do you get a loud thud from the gear box ?
do the bbs go from the barrel but not far ?
does the motor make any weird noises ?

Re: loud G36

Any mods to it?

Could be mis matched barrel to cylinder.

Anyway.... loud is good :D

Re: loud G36

what mags are you using: I've just modified it for M4 mags but it was like it on the g36 mags

what ammo type: .20's

do you get a loud thud from the gear box: yes that would best describe the sound.

do the bbs go from the barrel but not far: the range is prity good on it, wouldnt say it was short

does the motor make any weird noises: not really its more of the thud noise.

I would say to add it has been chrono'd at 360-366. and work prity well in all other area's just the noise.

Re: loud G36

hmmm it maybe the cylinder head pad has worn out , so there no cushioning of the piston head hitting it causing the thump,

maybe the there is no grease or lube on the internal working causing it to hit harder in a certain place due to no lube for smooth travel ,

what make mags are you using ?

if you are using mid caps , spray a small amount of silicone lube in the mag down the spring track then run a few bb's in it to lube the track , but run the majority of the lube out of the mag before taking it to a game

Re: loud G36

as guard says, cylinder heads worn out, by a new cylinder set.

While your in there clean out all the grease, re shim it with new shims and apply nice shiny new grease, just a smidge.

Dont forget to check for signs of wear.. if something like a bearing or bushings gone cuasing excess movement its better to catch it early.

Re: loud G36

Tell it to be quiet.

If it's the thud, I'd go with the rest of the advice, most likely cylinder head.
There is a small possibility you have an un-matching cylinder head/ piston head too though. (Ie one is a silent type the other aint)

I don't suppose it's a JG is it as mine is really loud when compared to the Aug I have. If it is have you tried the alignment screw in the handle to reduce the noise as it's mentioned in the manual?

Re: loud G36

that or the spring guide is a basic one, not bearing version, this can cause the spring to "kick" when it releases the tension, causing a thump, I allways change it!

Re: loud G36

sorry for the late reply, I think what is best to do is to open the g36 get some pictures together and try to look what i have in the gearbox and see what the issue is. ill reply back to let you know of my findings.

Re: loud G36

Ally piston heads are generally more noisy than polly ones, may be the case.

To be honest, if everythng else works fine and it just makes a bit of a 'clack' as the spring pushes the piston to the cylinder head. I would do nothing and just carry on. Enjoy the noise as most are very quiet if anything it adds a tiny bit of realism to it.

OR is it a noise that has just started, in which case it would need a bit of investigation sooner rather than later. To protect any further complications starting.
