Tech Myths

Tech myths:

1. A FPS loss is a worn spring.

No, after 800,000 rounds and being stored in a compressed state a modify AEG spring will lose 7% of its charge in two years. Not enough to lose any significant FPS.
Some brands wear faster but a FPS loss is a compression issue. Unless your spring broke in half.

2. High speed gears always make your AEG gain RPS.

Nope, only by dropping spring load A LOT or increasing motor cycle rate will you gain any RPS with high speed gears.

3. More lube is better

You can always tell when a new guy tech'ed a gun by the amount of lube in the gearbox

4. Higher FPS is just a spring away.

This is where techs make a lot of money. The do-it-yourselfer that attempted an upgrade and failed. You must be aware of all the subtle things and a perfect ability to tune the gear box. Some things need replacement, some can stay.

5. You can study to be a tech.

YouTube is a great starting point but the only way to learn is to do. Airsoft tech'ing is not a technical science IT IS AN ART. It takes time, a lot of it. I can show you the way to learn it fast and skip all trauma.

Tons of myths out there, your turn.......
