An electric motor inside the AEG rotates a series of gears sequentially to drive the piston, which in turn compresses the spring. When the spring is released, the piston is being pushed forward to produce compressed air and propel the bullets. Due to such a complex internal structure, power upgrade is never easy.<\/p>\n<p>There is no substitute for good old fashioned know how. By upgrading the gun yourself, you are knocking out the hardest part of it first, knowing what goes where.<\/p>\n<p>The 2014 Edition of this book is a major rewrite which presents new concepts and practical skills reflecting the latest changes and trends in the airsoft industry. New technologies such as Electric Blowback EBB and Electric Recoil Gun ERG are also included in the coverage.<\/p>\n<p>After trying out the tricks and tips suggested in this book, never hesitate to contact us should you believe there are mistakes waiting to be corrected (there are always better ways of doing things\u2026).<\/p>\n<p>Book TOC:<\/p>\n<p>TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHT 6<br \/>\nPREFACE 7<br \/>\nBEFORE YOU START\u2026 8<br \/>\nGOOD UPGRADE PRACTICES 10<br \/>\nGEARBOX VERSION, STRENGTH AND COMPATIBILITY 11<br \/>\nGEARBOX INTERNALS 15<br \/>\nPISTON AND PISTON HEAD 31<br \/>\nAIR NOZZLE 37<br \/>\nGEAR MESHING 38<br \/>\nGEAR RATIOS AND TYPES 39<br \/>\nUPGRADE SPRING 43<br \/>\nBASIC PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT 45<br \/>\nSPRING INSTALLATION 51<br \/>\nAIR VOLUME BALANCING 54<br \/>\nBUSHINGS AND BEARINGS 57<br \/>\nSHIMMING REGULAR GEARS 60<br \/>\nSHIMMING HELICAL GEARS 71<br \/>\nSECTOR GEAR DELAYER 79<br \/>\nONE O\u2019CLOCK TIMING 81<br \/>\nGEARBOX INITIAL TESTING 83<br \/>\nHOPUP CONFIGURATION 84<br \/>\nAEG ANATOMY: DEMO USING DEEPFIRE\/CAA M4S 98<br \/>\nAEG ANATOMY: DEMO USING VFC SCAR 104<br \/>\nAEG ANATOMY: DEMO USING CYBERGUN GALIL 109<br \/>\nAEG ANATOMY: DEMO USING ICS L85 115<br \/>\nAEG ANATOMY: DEMO USING CYBERGUN THOMPSON 120<br \/>\nAEG ANATOMY: DEMO USING TM PSG-1 125<br \/>\nAEG ANATOMY: DEMO USING ACM PPSH-41 129<br \/>\nEBB ILLUSTRATED: DEMO USING APS M4 132<br \/>\nEBB ILLUSTRATED: DEMO USING APS AK 137<br \/>\nEBB ILLUSTRATED: DEMO USING ACM PPSH-41 144<br \/>\nEBB ILLUSTRATED: DEMO USING CYBERGUN GSG522 149<br \/>\nSPLIT GEARBOX CONFIGURATION 151<br \/>\nBULLPUP AEG CONFIGURATIONS 158<br \/>\nRECOIL SHOCK AEG CONFIGURATION 176<br \/>\nQUICK CHANGE SPRING SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS 186<br \/>\nHANDLING GEARBOX SCREWS 196<br \/>\nOTHER TOOLS 199<br \/>\nAIR SEAL 203<br \/>\nBARREL PRECISION 208<br \/>\nELECTRONIC SWITCH ASSEMBLY EXPLAINED 210<br \/>\nSWITCH CONTACT PLATE REPLACEMENT 213<br \/>\nFET DEVICE CONFIGURATION 214<br \/>\nHOME MADE FET LIKE SOLUTION 218<br \/>\nBURST DEVICE CONFIGURATION 219<br \/>\nCAPACITOR CONFIGURATION 220<br \/>\nFUSE REMOVAL 221<br \/>\nMORE ON BEARINGS 222<br \/>\nMORE ON CYLINDER CONFIGURATIONS 225<br \/>\nMORE ON BARREL LENGTH 228<br \/>\nSPRING ROTATION AND SPACER CONFIGURATION 230<br \/>\nADVANCED BATTERY CONFIGURATIONS 232<br \/>\nCHARGING NIMH CELLS 235<br \/>\nUSING LIPO 236<br \/>\nHANDLING LIPO PACKS 241<br \/>\nPROPER LIPO CHARGER CONFIGURATION 242<br \/>\nCHOICES OF WIRE AND PLUG 246<br \/>\nSOLDERING TECHNIQUES 250<br \/>\nMOTOR CONFIGURATION 254<br \/>\nMOTOR OPTIMIZATION 256<br \/>\nTROUBLESHOOTING HOPUP RELATED ISSUES 260<br \/>\nBULLET LOADING ISSUES 265<br \/>\nSILENCING 266<br \/>\nUSING BALL BULLET SHOOTING CHRONOGRAPH 268<br \/>\nFPS DOWNGRADE 271<br \/>\nMOTOR DRIVEN MAGAZINES 272<br \/>\nLEGAL RESTRICTIONS 274<br \/>\nAIRSOFT TRADE DRESSING 275<br \/>\nWHAT HAPPENED TO THE AIRSOFT INDUSTRY? 276<\/p>\n<p>ISBN-13: 978-1500987534 \/ ISBN-10: 1500987530<\/p>\n<p>All of our hard copy books are now available via Amazon.
