PolarStar Fusion Engine

I might consider this, if I can't find the Escort Mp5 I'm drooling over...

Madbull already has a Co2 powered gearbox, its only semi auto, but it doesnt seem much different from what is shown above.

Too bad they suck

For those interested in getting the HPA maybe this will interest you.

Maybe not. But its a fire control unit able to change FPS, ROF, and firing modes.

Our Fire Control Unit is extremely compact and features an LCD display and directional controls to customize the Fusion Engine’s FPS and ROF settings. Players will be able to use full auto or burst fire modes or lock out their Fusion Engine equipped airsoft gun to fire in semi-auto only.

Also I think if they made it so the hose could come in through the sling and get attached next to the rear wiring hole most people probably couldn't tell the difference since a lot of people wear hydration packs and you could just squeeze the tank in there.

Sorry for the month old necro but I didn't read anything about the Fire control unit in the topic and it would removes the need of changing springs for different games and different batteries for fps. I also just now heard about the HPA.

Hey guys Id like to share some more recent news about the Polarstar releases.

As its been previously said the great part of this gun that separates it from a AEG or a GBB and makes it truly as polarstar calls it a Fusion Engine is that not only can you adjust the ROF from about 12 rounds a second to upwards of 30 rounds a second, its also very easy to adjust FPS, the guns are designed to operate within 90 PSI to 120 PSI, which allows for variable FPS based on pressure. Polarstar went further by developing nozzles which also regulate FPS so you can for example have a rifle that is capable of a range of FPS based on what nozzle you use.
From ampedairsoft.com site http://www.ampedairsoft.com/category_s/182.htm

With HPA there's always the doubt thats presented "whats to stop someone from cranking the FPS outside of the field limits. Polarstar's answer is the nozzle.


But these two things have been covered already in simplicity earlier. What makes this gun a winner in my book is the "nozzle dwell" control that the Polarstar FCU allows. Feeding different kinds of magazines in your rifle can be tricky. In some notable examples like KWA rifles they can be very picky about which mags they feed. Polarstar's Fusion engine FCU can control how long the nozzle dwells in the magwell. Fine Tuning of the Nozzle Dwell allows for accurate BB feeding with any magazine

Polarstar themselves describe this fuction as:"
Nozzle Dwell emulates what a Sector Clip would do in an AEG. Simply put, it controls how long the Air Nozzle remains rearward. Adjusting this number would allow for proper and consistent feeding with most magazines. Given that some magazine springs/followers are weaker than others, this enables you to tune the system to feed your weakest magazine."

From the Fusion Engine manual "dn – Nozzle Dwell
The nozzle dwell variable controls how long power is applied to the nozzle solenoid, affecting the
time that the nozzle is held rearward. The higher the value, the longer the nozzle is held to the rear,
which allows tuning for slower feeding magazines.

dp – Poppet Dwell
The poppet dwell variable controls how long power is applied to the poppet solenoid, affecting the
duration for which the firing valve is held open and allows adjustment of the gas volume released.
The higher the value, the longer the poppet is held open. There is an internal base dwell of 2ms.
This is added to the value shown on the LCD ( 0.1ms increments). For example, the recommended
value of “20” produces 2ms + (0.1ms x 20) = 4ms total dwell"

The cost of the Fusion engine is $425 you need a tank, line and regulartor that will regulate it down to 120 max to run it and that is an additional cost to consider

Polarstar has partnered with VFC to make the actual gun itself the PR 15 which is available in 3 configurations
The guns are VFC guns on the outside and the hopup and inner barrel. Fusion Engine on the inside.
Carbine or 14.5'' Length for 625.00 http://www.ampedairsoft.com/product_p/pr15-145.htm
CQBR or 10.5" length also for 625.00

Also available is their "tactical carbine" which has a flip up front and rear sight, a rail system and a crane stock for 680.00

All in all as soon as the funds are available I'm going to be picking up one of theses Engines to run in my spare G&P body, and if it impresses me I will probably convert my one of my other G&P Lower bodies to it as well

Here are some videos for digest

Pics videos, and whatnot!

It would eat up two weeks of work...
But the possibility remains. I want it in an MP5...

[Minerva]

I'm just worried about my local fields throwing a hissy fit over it.. Hopefully they understand the use of a tournament lock and regulator

about 99% of the fields we play at are paintball fields. Ive never had a problem playing with the SAW at a field. of course the saw can only do like 430 at max settings

I updated the little writeup with more information

Maybe it's just because I've been down here in California for some time but the fields seem to be all "AHMFG ITZ AN HPA RIGZ = NASTY CHEETERZ N STOOF"

The PolarStar V2 M4/M16 gearbox will be release this month, a month earlier than what was projected. Pre-orders are already underway in some online stores. I'd drop $425 if I knew how to properly set up the hose so that it can go up my gun sling and into my camelback. Bulldog, can you lead me into a proper set up. I'd like to be able to disconnect the gun from the hose when I take it off the sling. Would this be possible?
