Modding Airsoft Pistol to Be Full Auto

May I present to you my handy picayune guide for modifying your M1911 GBB pistol into a fully automatic monstrosity.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for whatsoever harm acquired to airsoft guns/holding/people/etc due to the application of this modification guide. Follow this guide at your ain risk. If you lot suspension your gun then it's your own fault!

The pistol I have used for this guide is a WE M1911 MEU, but the principle of the mod should remain the same for other 1911 variants and probably other GBB'south too.

The first problem I encountered was that when the trigger was pulled with the slide locked dorsum, the hammer would printing confronting the underside of the slide and prevent the slide from moving forwards when the release was pressed. To remedy this I clipped a few coils off of the hammer spring, here'south how:

Remove the rear part of the grip by pushing the block itself upwards a little and pushing out the locking pin.

Next, remove the pocket-sized pin from within the block that holds the hammer spring in place. Be careful as the spring may shoot out.

Clip a roll from the jump and reassemble the gun, if this doesn't piece of work, clip a 2nd coil off. DO NOT clip more than two coils from the leap or the hammer will be slack and may not piece of work properly.

On to the actual mod. Remove the slide, grips, safety and release catch spring housing from the gun. If you don't know how to do this then you shouldn't exist attempting this mod, seriously.

Remove the upper spiral from the assembly that houses the hammer, do not remove the flat head screw as it holds a spring in identify that is quite fiddly to fit back in. Then remove the housing and grip safety. Remove the three internal parts that are loose, these are the hammer, the grab that secures the hammer and the plate that disengages the trigger. This last slice is what causes the trigger to disengage when the slider is racked, the hammer pulled back, or when a shot is fired. Without this slice the hammer will not lock back into place when a shot is fired and the gun will instead fire continuously until the trigger is disengaged manually, when you permit go of it for example . The slider will still lock back when the magazine is empty.

This is the part that disengages the trigger, leave it out when reassembling the gun.

Now yous need to affix something to the back of the trigger mech that will allow the trigger to operate without the disengage plate. Some may frown upon this but here I accept used a length of paperclip aptitude into a U shape which was then bent around the metallic of the trigger mech and crimped in place.

Carefully reassemble the gun and test it. I would recommend using an empty magazine and property the slide release grab down with your pollex the outset time, just to make certain.

Now savor your hand held BB hose. Oh, and you lot might want to castor up on speed reloading if you own a WE or Socom gear MEU, you lot can only get 15rd magazines for them .
