AEG springs

Post2013-10-21 / 04:08 UTC GMT +00:00

AEG springs greatly determine your AEG's FPS. the picture below gives a GENERAL outline for FPS for different power springs.

AEG springs sit inside your piston and is the main spring that gets compressed and released to create propulsion power which launches the bb's out of your barrel.

as you can see from the picture above each manufacturer rates their springs differently so be sure before you order an upgraded spring you know approximately what it will make you gun shoot.

there are many factors that will determine your AEG's FPS. Good/Bad compression, inner barrel diameter/length, possible air leaks can be large determining factors in your AEG's FPS.

Larger stronger springs will yield higher FPS but will also contribute to more wear and tear on your internals, possible gearbox cracks, (failures) lower rate of fire and give you slower trigger response than lighter spring setups. larger springs might require high torque motors to pull back such heavy springs. larger batteries and discharge rates can also make up for higher spring tension. But of course large batteries can cause new problems all together (we will talk about that later)

lighter springs will increase your rate of fire and trigger response, but your AEG won't necessarily shoot as far. Super high ROF builds are usually built with lower spring rate so the motor/battery can work faster.

so before you go out and buy a super heavy spring, make sure you know what you want out of your gun and use the proper upgrade parts to achieve your dream build..
