Important: Also watch part 2: • Pepperball TCP (or VKS...
The firing bolt and bolt spring are in an antagonistic relationship. In this video, I discuss the key issues you need to know to minimize contact between your firing bolt with the breech of your barrel. Some contact is unavoidable because a tight bolt/barrel bore-match is good for power and the bolt sits at the edge of the breech. High power comes at a cost and can create barrel wobble, too much shear stress on the firing pin set screw, unscrewing even with red locktite, and more stress. This vicious cycle will eventually break the screw. If your spring is weak initially or from overuse it may not guide the bolt precisely leading to more contact. In this video, I show how the firing bolt end touches all sides of the Grimburg barrel breech so it can't go cleanly inside under anything less than perfect conditions leaving little room for wobble. In general, I recommend you avoid using velocity settings that might fully compress your spring. It's all about finding the right balance for your particular needs and minimizing risk. Beware of con artist sellers who claim that high power doesn't damage your bolt. There are plenty of examples of this happening. Do your research and be smart.
Note: The firing bolt fits much better into the stock Pepperball barrel because the bore size is slightly larger especially at the breech end. This is a potential advantage of the stock barrel when shooting at power high enough to fully compress the spring. Rule of thumb: Just avoid the extreme upper limits to be safe and either barrel should work fine. Pushing those limits is guaranteed to cause headaches at the very least.
I am an end user and consumer like you. I don't upgrade or sell these launchers or parts for profit. I will not do that in the future either. The overriding goal of the Less Lethal sections of this channel are to provide as much information as I can that is free of conflicts of interest. You can then decide what is best for you and your self defense needs (and budget). Stay tuned and subscribe for my input as I get more detailed in my discussions.

Go to 4:47 to see the part where the bolt touches the barrel breach when the spring is fully compressed. They completely contact during normal use and you can hear the sound each time. If the spring gets weak and leads to bolt wobble this contact may worsen. See Part 2 of this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rW0Fs7F1LIQ.html for more discussion and a close-up look at the scratching on the end of my bolt that results from barrel contact. Always follow best practices and take care of your firing bolt.

got t9.1 i made an upgrade for the firing bolt, i made a channel with a lathe on the inside at the bottom of the firing bolt and set a teflon ring in, this prevents metal shavings that together with the oil produces gunk. Also consider to change the o ring of the brass air pad to a polyurethane one. keep in mind, the more your velocity screw is pressed, the more air pressure you can get into the chamber and the more pressure you get in the chamber, the more wear you have between the trigger mechanism part that holds the bolt back and the bolt itself, look for the edge of the bolt next time you take it apart, when the edge is to round yout launcher will begin to fart, when you shoot it and blow of, i just turn the bolt a little bit to a part where the edge is still good btw The teflon ring removes any wabbling of the bolt and you get no scratches on the chamber anymore

I think there is another factor to consider and it centers around when that bolt is now moving back fast from the spring force and is approaching the sear. At this time, the air pressure is quickly rising in the air chamber and also, air/CO2 is still flowing at some pressure that is still below the regulator closing pressure, but also still high pressure and with air flowing forward. The spring has to overcome this sufficiently to allow the sear to lock onto the bolt. When we turn up regulator pressure, delete PRVs or increase the source pressure (or just turn up the power as is so common) .. then effectively that means the chance that the spring will not be strong enough to get the bolt back far enough will increase. I have seen this happen in combination with too much lubricant. The stock spring just could not get the bolt back against all that pressure. The pressure will be approaching full regulated pressure about the same time the bolt is reaching the sear. I again refer to "M17 HEAT CORE ANIMATION".
@maxhauler
@maxhauler 2 года назад
The caveat in my case is that the excess lubricant (factory FS grease applied by me) could have been a major factor. But I have also seen this happen with a stock FSC with standard minimal grease on the bolt, but when I turned the power up almost all the way. I use a custom section of plastic coat hanger as an excellent tool to reset the bolt to the sear and also a shorter piece works better than wood in my opinion as a tool (at the precise length) to change the bolt o-ring.

So what would be the middle ground to optimize the Bolt and spring where would be the solution to pick up the power but keep the spring and bolt in good condition?
@ScaredyCatTactical
@ScaredyCatTactical 2 года назад
Good question. My rule of thumb is to keep the feet per second (FPS) < 400 for any projectile I use. The faster the FPS, the faster the bolt moves forward and then slams back. From following the experience of others on RU-vid and Facebook that have reported bolt pin issues, they were usually exceeding 400 FPS and/or they were using greater than 850 PSI on the HPA tank. By paying attention to these 2 parameters you can comfortably stay in the middle ground.

I’ve seen some do that mod and others do not. I’m thinking it has to do with using larger than 12 gram co2 or having HPA installed and output pressures greater than 1000 psi (not sure though). Thanks again!
@ScaredyCatTactical
@ScaredyCatTactical 9 месяцев назад
Thanks! My feelings on the VKS spring and PRV delete is that they are optional. They won't give you more power on the first shot but they help conserve air by resetting the bolt quicker. Thus the later shots may be improved especially on CO2 where the air is more limited. If you are comfortable changing the internals, the VKS bolt spring, sear spring, and PRV deleted spring pad are nice reliability upgrades that work in concert.

With all the talk of springs I'd be interested to understand the effect of the air itself. Z-Ram makes the power pin which is shorter, I'm assuming to let more air into the chamber earlier. We know longer barrels with tighter toleralnces increase fps, so where is the sweet spot?
@ScaredyCatTactical
@ScaredyCatTactical 2 года назад
Too much air flow is bad at some point and that's the take home message from this video. As far as Z-RAM and the power pin, it's been tested by a few folks and uniformly gave worse results than the stock pin. Air loss was unacceptable. Maybe it's better for an FSC with a very long barrel but if you have a VKS or short barrel TCP/FSC don't change it.

Solid theory. I thought the same thing. But in practice we've found slightly different findings. I originally abandoned the PRV delete because the bolt wasn't reliably resetting against the back pressure without the prv. Then when I finally noticed the vks without a prv and a different bolt spring, I realized that pepperball did the math for us! We were barely able to see a measurable difference only using the different spring, but with the spring and PRV delete we got an average of 15fps gain. The firing bolt also goes into the end of the breach (barrel). No real risk of collision. I believe most bolts breaking are mostly a result of loose firing pins at high FPS.
@ScaredyCatTactical
@ScaredyCatTactical 2 года назад
My bolt in the example I show will NOT fit cleanly inside the breach of my Grimburg barrel. It scratches against all sides if I insert without the spring. So the slightest of misalignment would only make that worse. The math is good as long as you stay within the specs they advertise, which is around 28 Joules.
@maxhauler
@maxhauler 2 года назад
Ah yes. I can see how the PRV is critical to the bolt reaching the sear, especially with increased source pressure. Obviously all of this is a balancing act too .. and I guess the conclusion then is that you CAN delete the PRV, but then you definitely need a stronger spring. End result without PRV is an air chamber pressure that matches the regulated pressure, as high as you want it (before things break lol).

The VKS spring is plenty strong and I've never heard of anyone wearing one out (yet). I've tried a little stronger spring and it's no good. The VKS spring is about right. The bolt always goes into the barrel a couple millimeters on each shot. A strong spring is essential to keep the barrel straight and prevent wobble and damage against the barrel. The wobble is also what facilitates the firing pin to come loose if it's not locktited. Even then with too much pressure and FPS, the pin can come loose. There is no perfect fix for those who want to abuse the launcher by going over 50 Joules.

There is a pressure relief valve (PRV) in the middle of the spring pad which can be assessed through the middle of the velocity screw. It's a screw within a screw. You need to use a smaller Allen key to turn it clockwise until the leaking stops. Best results are when it is closed but don't over-tighten it because that's not good either. Best long-term results are to do the PRV deletion by plugging the spring pad so that it is always closed.

The point of this video was just to caution that the spring vs. bolt dynamic has it's limits. Some people want to debate this reality but it does come into play if you push the limits of the tolerances. In my opinion, if you run a strong spring (like the VKS spring) and tune it to 40-50 Joules, the VKS is a very reliable platform. If you want 80-100 Joules you are asking for trouble! You just have to check the firing bolt set screw on each service and make sure it's still tight. Mine hasn't unscrewed yet since it was done properly in the factory. Some folks have had problems with their VKS screw right out of the box. But yes, overall these launchers do require preventive maintenance and more TLC than a firearm but they have their legal and practical advantages too.

I have the VKS spring in my FCS, T8.1 and my T8 with tons of rounds shot and not one problem. If you are breaking bolts or firing pins you’re not doing proper maintenance to your launcher. The smartest thing to do is take your bolt out and loctite the firing pin or replace it with a stainless steel one then loctite it. The reason that pin snaps is because it comes loose and cocks just slightly and on a fire snaps. So if you’re doing your routine maintenance things like this will very rarely happen. Like I said I’ve thrown a ton of ammo through mine with zero issues with bolts, pins or springs. When you turn those launchers up and fire them it’s pretty violent kick for an air gun so yes things will come loose I can’t stress maintaining these things enough. You take care of it it will take care of you when the time is ever needed.
@ScaredyCatTactical
@ScaredyCatTactical Год назад
I haven’t had one problem either but I check and do regular maintenance like you say. My firing pin set screw did back out once (in a video) and I locktited it back. Big issue are 1) the spring wears too and 2) some barrels are tighter bore than others. It’s rare for the pin to loosen but the bolt does contact the barrel regularly at high velocity. When the spring gets weak there’s more lateral movement and more G-forces on the pin which has a weak spot and can shear off.

@@KC_2112 Wrong. The bolt goes into the breech fast and quick. Everyone knows this. Please don't spread false information.

I put a lot of details in the description for everyone. Hope that helps. It’s a complex topic but bottom line is too high PSI and fully compressed bolt spring is high risk for collision, especially with a Grimburg barrel because of the tighter bore at the breach vs stock barrel.
