Hello, everyone! Welcome to Blaster Club's News Express
As well known, After LDT's takeover of H&K from Germany
FN from Belgium, and Sig Sauer from Swiss, all those famous companies
it is rapidly developing into a tremendous weapon monopoly across Asia and Europe
Recently, they had another takeover again, which is Top Japan from Tokyo
and finally, they got the electric shell-ejecting technology that they are looking for for a long time
However, TOP system is designed for 6mm plastic projectile
obviously, it belongs to devil capitalism
After one year of retrofitting by dedicated LDT's engineers
In January, this year, they finally released their own LDT Shell Eject system
This system keeps the electric-powered shell-ejecting function
but deletes the shooting feature
which eliminates any possibility of being harmful to children
this is an outstanding breakthrough
LDT's SE kit
eventually got it after one year's waiting
and it is the first "real" shell-ejecting toy in our market
The kit includes an SE gearbox, a box of plastic shells
a mag, and some small accessories for the receiver
about 1100RMB in total
Based on LDT's official report
their 416 3.0 receiver, AR receiver
and MCX will take this gearbox, no problem
and they will provide different accessory packs for different types respectively
This SE gearbox is actually replicating the shell-ejecting system from Top Japan designed 10 years ago
the basic design has some similarities with the AAF system
powered by motor, the cylinder becomes a "realistic bolt"
the gear pushes the bolt blowback
and the circuit is controlled by MOSFET
but in detail, they are quite different
Especially you can look it from outside
SE gearbox is a whole including the top part
the bolt is covered inside the gearbox
you could only see the bolt at the ejection port and feeding position
which is different from AAF's open design
A "Do Not Disassemble" manual
it looks much more complicated than a regular AEG gearbox
of course, I won't disassemble it due to my poor handjob
it also has a warranty seal here
SE gearbox case is cast aluminum
the bolt is made of nylon
The MOSFET is at the back of the gearbox, two layers of the board in total
the bolt and the lug looks so realistic
the extractor is simulated and has actual function
but the air-nozzle is entirely blocked
which canceled the shooting function completely
Well, it is safe, since life is more important
The charging handle and other accessories are all aluminum alloy
nice quality
The packaging of the shell out of the box is interesting
which is the same style as PUBG
I guess LDT is preparing the takeover of KRAFTON Inc
The plastic of the shell is thick
tiny size difference from 5.56 NATO real round
good simulation
the inner diameter is only 4.5mm
it's much safer now
It has metal shells as well
CNC aluminum with brass color surface finish
it looks awesome
with no exaggeration, it's more beautiful than the real round
you tell me which is the best international company now
It has different styles of magazine
which can be used on different styles of receiver
Highly recommend buying AR or HK type steel mag
phosphating finish, full steel construction
can be better than that
300g in hand
will make you so comfortable
Especially this HK steel mag
The stamping markings is like stabbing your G spot directly
Besides, it has Magpul polymer mag and HK translucent mag
The feeding plate is a bit stiff, not very smooth
at the front, it has a blocked space
which helps to hold the shell without the bullet in place
Load up the mag is a little annoying for my hand
For 30 rounds capacity, you can feel the hard spring tension when loading up to 20 rounds
you need to push hard
and your fingers become red
my respect to the logistics department
LDT said SE gearbox would drop into their own receiver with no problem
but you know this famous picture
I don't want to say more
Based on the instruction, there are a few places that need to be modified
suggest be prepared with your file
not only improve the assembly speed
but also keep your hands healthy, keep your blood pressure low
My nylon AR receiver is nice to this gearbox
the upper receiver is a little bit tight, need to hammer it down
but no problem when all get in
but SE doesn't support the ambidextrous system
so for 416A5 it can be awkward
with LDT's official protective outer shell
to prove that this is indeed a toy
Out of the box, it uses 11.1v battery and XT30u plug
compartment is inside the buffer tube, just like traditional AEG
SE basically replicates all realistic features from the Top system
without a mag, it will be no reaction when pulling the trigger
manually cock it will only let you release the main spring
the gearbox won't work at all
the first round need to be cocked
the spring is a bit stiff
let's try full-auto
This is dope
the shells eject like a water fall
so cool
The trigger has a positive wall
the shell eject is smooth no matter on semi or full-auto
the direction and distance of ejection is in a specific area
it won't go everywhere
the metal shell is heavy so won't fly too far
but it will shrink the area of landing
The electric system won't have a loud explosive sound
but my first time experiencing full auto shell ejecting
those massive collisions between shells and ground
it makes me feel like dream
This sound for me
is like ASMR, same as V8 engine horn and charging the bolt action rifle
Of course, if someone would pick up all the shell for me will be the best
The ROF is about 13 rounds per second, 780RPM
pretty similar to AR real steel
SE does not have obvious recoil
since the nylon bolt is not very heavy
so it won't slam back too hard
Looking through the ejection port
you can see the bolt goes almost all the way back
which is way longer travel than AAF system
it's really comparable to GBBR
Empty the mag
the feeding plate will block the lever
initiate the bolt lock
The jam is also another highlight
if a malfunction arises, the MOSFET will stop the system
malfunction clearing procedure is the same as the real steel
take out the mag and clear the chamber manually
With the combination of mechanical structure and MOSFET control
SE achieves a lot of features on the real AR
no mag, bolt doesn't go all the way forward, or jamming, the system will stop working
simulated bolt and full-travel blowback
with the full-auto shell ejection
this is the unique on the electric powred toy
Many years ago
it said TOP system discontinued due to high rate of malfunction
but after my few days playing
I didn't experience any real big issue
at least right now I can say the system is stable
sometimes the jamming issue
is caused by the mag
No matter how
this SE system fill in the blank of realistic simulation toy in the market
and the price is acceptable
so I bought it first
What do you think of this homemade TOP system?
