Practical A.E.G Upgrade 2006

Your Upgrade Objectives

Friends in the US ever heard of the rumor that the 55 miles-per-hour freeway

speed limit was set partly for energy conservation? At this speed level,

maximum fuel economy and engine lifespan can be achieved. If you go faster,

however, the gas mileage will become un-proportionately poorer and your

engine will require maintenance work much sooner.

In the world of airsoft, it is now possible to push the limit to well over 500 fps.

And, it has been heard that people in Japan can achieve a ROF well over 35 shots

per second. Does it sound too good to be true? The thing is, there are always

trade-offs between energy consumption, lifespan, power and $$$. If you have

load of $ to spend then you don’t need to read this book at all – just ask for the

most expensive guns and you’re ready to rock n’ roll. If, however, you want to

spend less and keep cost-effectiveness in mind, then it is recommended that you

first figure out your upgrade objectives and the associated trade-offs before

making a decision.

Before you tackle any upgrade job, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Do you really want to do this yourself? Do understand that airsoft upgrade

can be either fun OR horrendous.

2. Do you really know how to do it? Do you have the tools to do it?

3. If you goof, can something be seriously damaged? And, are replacement

parts readily available?

4. How long will it take, and how much $ will you save by doing it yourself?

5. In case something goes seriously wrong, is helping hand easily available?

Proceed only if you are positive on all of the above. As a suggestion, know the

locations and hours of your local airsoft stores as they are most likely the closest

sources of help during emergency.
