They have gradually evolved from simple fixed slide pistols to advanced blow back guns capable of semi and full auto firing. The way these gas guns work is never simple. In fact, gas guns are way more complicated than their electric counterparts:<\/p>\n<p>In the world of AEG you have several standards (which were built around the Marui architecture) to follow. In the world of gas guns, however, standard is almost entirely absent. Different manufacturers have different patented designs, that\u2019s why guns from Western Arms are never compatible with guns from Marui.<\/p>\n<p>AEG allows you to manipulate the mechbox in many creative ways, but gas gun doesn\u2019t have such flexibility. In fact, as a beginner, your options are severely limited.<\/p>\n<p>There is no fixed equation on gas gun upgrade and maintenance. You will need to build up your expertise on this subject matter bit by bit. This book teaches you the basics \u2013 it tells you what is doable and what should NEVER be done so that all sorts of costly and stupid mistakes can be avoided.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThis book also demonstrates the kind of upgrade that is appropriate for IPSC practical shooting. The motto of IPSC is DVC (Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas), which means accuracy, power and speed. You have to hit the target accurately and without delay. While power is relatively limited, speed (how fast you shoot) isn&#8217;t. Airsoft shooting takes place from rather close ranges, and shooters are racing against the clock. The focus of upgrade is therefore not on power, but on trigger response and recoil action (too much blowback is no good). We will show you a step-by-step upgrade of the Marui Hi-Capa for practical shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Below shows the book TOC:<\/p>\n<p>INTRODUCTION<br \/>\nGETTING READY<br \/>\nTools you\u2019re going to need<br \/>\nTools you don\u2019t absolutely need<br \/>\nHandling of screws<br \/>\nThe proper ways of taking things apart and putting them back together<br \/>\nGAS GUN ARCHITECTURE<br \/>\nThe anatomy of a gas handgun<br \/>\nPossible points of failure<br \/>\nPossible upgrades and performance optimization tricks<br \/>\nUPGRADE &amp; MAINTENANCE Q &amp; A<br \/>\nFPS increase in meter readings VS performance increase in a practical sense: the law of diminishing marginal gain in performance.<br \/>\nWhat are the differences between 134a, Green Gas and Red Gas?<br \/>\nHow about CO2?<br \/>\nProper gas charging and handling techniques<br \/>\nDouble Action VS Single Action<br \/>\nCan you turn a GBB into a fixed slide NBB?<br \/>\n0.20g BBs versus 0.25g BBs versus 0.30g BBs: the heavier the better?<br \/>\nDoes FPS always go hand in hand with Joule?<br \/>\nWhat is the difference between the FPS system and the Joule system?<br \/>\nHow do you use FPS to measure Joule?<br \/>\nHow do you use FPS to give an estimate of the range?<br \/>\nWhat is wrong with the soda can test?<br \/>\nWhat is right with the soda can test?<br \/>\nWhat is the most accurate way to measure FPS?<br \/>\nCan you show me how to use a basic speed tester?<br \/>\nWhat are the key elements of a high accuracy setup?<br \/>\nHow to improve accuracy with short barrel?<br \/>\nCan a long barrel deliver higher accuracy and range?<br \/>\nWhat is good about a high precision barrel?<br \/>\nHow to maximize the effectiveness of a high precision barrel?<br \/>\nWhat is the drawback of using a high precision barrel?<br \/>\nWhat can cause the hopup rubber to break?<br \/>\nI have to wind my hop almost all the way up just to get flat flight.
