Practical A.E.G Upgrade 2006

Introduction

Short for automatic electric gun, AEG is a type of battery powered air gun

capable of full & semi auto firing. 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.

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.

Before kick starting an upgrade project, it is suggested that you first define your

upgrade objective(s). What do you want to achieve? High FPS? High ROF? High

accuracy? And how high is high by the way?

This e-book is organized based on the primary upgrade objectives of high FPS,

high ROF and high accuracy. In addition, a section on troubleshooting is included.

Rather than going the cumbersome step-by-step way, we will teach you the

essentials through an easy-to-read Q&A format. We do assume that you have

the basic ability to disassemble and reassemble your gun and the mechbox. In

case you do not, refer to the many step-by-step free tutorial web pages available

on the internet (here are some suggested links:
