- Indispensable part for Airsoft AEG tuning
- Anti-recoil for Gearbox Version 2 / 3
Recoil is a key component in airsoft gearbox assembly, especially in AEGs (Airsoft Electric Weapons). Its main function is to prevent the gears from reversing or reversing their direction of rotation after being moved forward during the firing process. Here's how it works and why it's important:
-
Gear Backstop: When you fire an AEG, the gears in the gearbox rotate to compress the spring, release the piston and eject the BB. After the shot is fired, the gears must return to their original position to prepare for the next shot. The role of the Anti-Reversal Latch is to hold the gears in place after they have completed a rotation cycle, preventing them from reversing due to spring tension.
-
Maintaining Cycle Consistency: This ensures that the gears do not backfire, critical to maintaining the consistency and reliability of an airsoft gun's firing cycle. If the gears were to reverse, it could cause problems such as jamming, misfiring, or other problems that could negatively affect the performance of the gun.
-
Safety: It also serves to ensure safe operation by preventing the gun from accidentally discharging BB balls when fired. This helps prevent accidental injury or damage.
Installing or replacing the Anti-Reversal Latch may become necessary when you want to modify or improve the performance of your AEG. For example, high-performance springs or high-speed gear sets may require a backlash to prevent failure under increased load. Therefore, the anti-recoil is an important part of AEG gearboxes in order to maintain proper operation and safety.
