Ich kaufe nur FPS Cylinder

Excellent project!...... Brilliant Armory is an awesome company!. Will do more business in the future.

I selected this cinder head for its built un AOE pad thats tapered for better air flow. My only concern is the front bumper design. The side holes are slotted to prevent the gearbox pins from sheering, but the bumper itself is very hard and wouldnt fit in my VFC unless I sand it down ( which I dont want to do). Its a shame because I really wanted to use this.

Will definitely order from Brill Armory again 100% my order came 2 days from expected date and prices are very good.

Works great

It’s too tight when putting together. Would return it if I could if I didn’t already sand/grind interlocking tabs

Solid! No warp or wave, comes with a dual o-ring aluminum cylinder head, aluminum o-ring nozzle (21.25mm), ribbed stainless cylinder, full metal rack piston, aluminum piston head, and a M115ish spring. Gears are 16:1 steel with what looks like a thin paint, so they are likely PMI but I can't be sure. The tappet spring seems normal strength or better, and the tappet is fiber reinforced polycarbonate - no replacing needed! The gearbox itself is microswitch type, so fair warning - you can't use internal ETU's with this gun! You'll need an external one like a Gate Warfet. No corner breaks up from the factory either, you'll have to relief cut the cylinder corners yourself.

All in all? Solid as hell. A great gearbox to build on if you're using an external mosfet setup. It comes with enough awesome parts out of the box that you won't have to change much at all.

I bought these along side a retro arms gearbox and I can say the fittment is way too tight. I cannot fit these into the gearbox they are made for unless I go completly heavy on hammering. To the point where it's damaging the bushings/ gearbox. That's even after freezing the bushings to try to make them contract. The being said I could only get one bushign to properly fit in. Unless you have a press I would never suggest these bushings. I am going to continue try to fit these but suggest anyone looking into these to consider a another good bushing in combination with JB weld. Also please support Brill as there a great store to by from in my experience.

First owned AEG, have played with my brothers Specna Edge 1.0 m4 platforms a few time and liked it, always thought it felt like a good performer for the money. With the release of the Prime series, and not wanting to have to upgrade anything immediately, the slight price increase from the Edge 2.0 to the Prime seemed like good value. Brill was one of the only retailers to have stock.

I have shot probably 100 bbs through it so far, went with the Titan LiPo 11.1 as Specnas own manual suggests for the HAL ETU. Set semi to just 20% trigger point. Full to 3 round burst. Precocking off and active brake off. Trigger reminds me of the 3.5lb trigger in my actual builds.

Gun feels very snappy and with a few red dot adjustments was a tack driver. Have not messed with hop up adjustments yet or played outside, so cannot give a more thorough review on that.

Hopeful it performs hassle-free like my brothers edge has for 2 years. Time will tell.

Not sure if I can entirely chalk my experience up to user error or outside factors, but the 2 shims I had inside my gun completely shattered after a round at my local field. In the product's defense, I have a pretty high stress brushless 13:1 build, and I had also taken a light fall at the end of the round, so it could have been either of those that caused it. This review is really just a word of caution for anyone considering buying this product, since they aren't indestructible as the review paints them out to be.

Competes with all my rhop fine tuned set ups.

Good for concave style buckings.

Fast shipping. Thanks Brill

Although airsoft mutation parts can be pricey it had always been worth it. The quality and design of their parts are the of the best available on the market and their innovation is superb. I am using this bucking paired with a silent industries alpha chamber and am getting amazing results. I would have the occasional over hopped bb with my combination of PDI barrel and maple leaf bucking, but this is definitely a step up.

Its definitely not quieter than other regular heads, I would know since I even tried to make a cylinder head pad match the shape of this one. However it did solve my pme issue so its definitely light enough, even tho I didnt use the plastic washer and I put regular bearings. -1 star for advertising the nonexistent noise reduction. Also I did have to replace the o-ring with a new one since it was smaller diameter and wouldn't seal my cylinder.

Bought a couple packs of these only to find out that *all of them* are between .23mm and .25mm, and not a single one measured the advertised .2mm.

Not. One.

I have to chalk this up to a bad batch, because I bought a few packs of the .1mm set from the same brand on the same order and they measured .1mm as advertised. Hopefully the next batch Brill gets in are better.

Measured these after the .2mm ones I bought were all off by .03-.05mm and can confirm, of the shims I measured in my first pack I bought, not a single one measured inaccurately, all were exactly .1mm on the mark.

If I didn't already have 5 packs I'd buy more. These are good. If you want to get particular about your shimming, I'd highly suggest them.

Bought one of these for the efficiency and it absolutely delivered. On my completely bone-stock UTR45, this is registering an incredible 9.8 amp draw in semi-auto on a 3s lipo. For context, the lowest semi-auto draw I've gotten on a conventional brushed motor was upwards of 15-20 amps.

At $80 a motor, I don't see any reason to use a brushed motor over this, even more so when these inevitably get cheaper. These are going to make brushed motors obsolete over the next 5-10 years. I can only compare the performance difference of these over brushed motors to when we discovered using LiPo's over NiMh. There is simply no contest in performance.

It's a ZCI Barrel, it's good, it's cheap, it's consistent. I see absolutely no reason to spend money on more expensive brands when ZCI puts out such a good, affordable product like this.

Doing a massively over-built gearbox in a TM v2 shell and needed bushings that sit flush with the gearbox walls - these did the trick. With a ~.49mm flange, these seated right into the stock TM bushing holes and sit flat against the gearbox walls.

I don't plan to do anything exceptional with this gearbox besides make the most reliable ~350fps shell I can, but these did exactly what I needed them to. A little expensive, I won't lie, but there aren't really any good alternatives that do what these do, as good as they do it.

I get these just for the bevel gear. It is *the easiest* and most forgiving-to-shim bevel I've worked with outside of 1st Gen SHS bevels, and has some other really great qualities like:

* Lower noise profile than SHS bevels
* Fully compatible with SHS//ZCI Pinion Gears, as well as other brands
*** ~1.28mm spur gear teeth vs ~1.1mm on SHS bevels ***

The Spur and Sector gears are absolutely adequate as well, and I've used them in both drop-in and in short-stroked setups without issue. The only issue I can note when using these is that I went from 15 to 20 amps in semi-auto using this bevel with an SHS 13:1 gear set vs its included bevel, but the night-and-day decrease in gear whine more than makes up for it to me.

makes everything far easier and strong

My first review that I wrote was mid November 2024
After some time with this engine throughout the month of December. I have really stressed and push out limits within the gearbox. As my previous statement that the spring is a bit weak I found the issue of the spring wasn’t sitting right in the gear box. After carefully adjusting it does seem to have potential! When playing indoors and outdoors. I will continue to use and abuse the gear box until gears break eventually inserting a 16.1 ratio.
If Brillarmory can kindly remove my previous review I’d appreciate it.
Pros
*Gear box has a easy quick change I would recommend
*To install stock the thread of the gearbox is m3 screw 0.5x40mm.
*Its Green Duh
*Jefftron app is very simple and easy to use
(please BEAWARE) to set a password onto your trigger board by default anyone can login into your gun without a password.

I’m using this on the new EMG Noveske n4 mws and it’s shooting wonderfully

Easy to install in most gearboxes, and easy programming, and now the Pro version has more precise pre-cock settings. The only negative is the wire’s soft silicone insulation which cuts and tears easily.
