“Most guns come with an uncorrected angle of
elevation which can result in stripped pistons and
such, and this is one of the crap facts of airsoft”
and such, and this is one of the crap facts
of airsoft. But for us in the upgrading sense
this has to be correct, as the piston will just
disintegrate at high speeds if the AOE isn’t
bang on.
Short-stroking is the act of removing
teeth from the front of the piston and
the aligning teeth on the sector gear. This
decreases the piston’s cycling time
and thus results in a faster rate
of fire. The only downside
is this will reduce velocity,
and you normally have to use
bigger springs to compensate.
The more teeth you drop the
more powerful spring needed,
hence the need for heavy
batteries to pull the powerful
springs.
This is pretty much all that needs
to be done on a standard gearbox
