It is quite true that a properly shimmed mechbox can run perfectly fine with 7.2V. We upgraded a MP5 (we put in a spring which […]
Joule, FPS and MPS
The formula for calculating Joules uses MPS (meters per second) rather than FPS as the unit for representing velocity – as you know, the US […]
Going over 400FPS
If you plan to upgrade to 400FPS+, you may better also move to 0.25g BBs. 0.20g BBs are way too light at this power level […]
Reliable FPS upgrade
Generally speaking, FPS in between 360~380 and ROF in between 22~25 should keep your AEG very usable and durable for years without the need for […]
V3 vs V2 gearboxes
We have heard people saying that due to a better design, guns running on the Version 3 mechbox (such as the AK and the SIG) […]
Operating an AEG properly
Proper usage means when you pull the trigger in full auto mode, you don’t release it until after 2 to 3 seconds, and that you […]
Soldering wires
The first step in soldering is cleaning the surfaces (including the iron tip itself). They must all be clean and free from contamination. Then, you […]
Torx screws
TM mechboxes use Torx screws. Torx head size is typically described using the capital letter “T” followed by a number, such as T5, T10, T15 […]
Handling screws
If you find yourself confronted with a screw that is extremely difficult to unscrew, don’t use brute force (or you risk stripping the threads). Instead, […]
