This title is
model independent. It covers the BOYS guns as well as most Low Power Electric Guns
from BE Tech, Neonfire, Double Eagle, CYMA and the like. New
topics on the BE Tech XM8 are covered as well.
This Will Help
Anyone Who Owns A LPEG Save Money On Repairs, Shoot Harder, and
Last Longer.
LPEG is a
relatively new term in the field of airsoft. LPEGs by definition
are low cost alternatives to the full blown AEGs. Due to the lack of
official guidance and after-market support, users are completely
in the dark when problems occur or when power upgrade is
necessary.
For your LPEG
to survive an upgrade, proper guidelines must be followed.
Based on the
contents of our highly successful Practical AEG Upgrade
title, this e-book goes one step further by covering LPEG
specific performance and maintenance issues.
Practical LPEG
Upgrade teaches you how to prevent problems from happening
during and after an upgrade. It tells you what after-market parts are
okay for use with your LPEG so you don't have to beg airsoft shops for
service. It tells you the various upgrade
limits so you won't overcook the internals.

new BE Tech XM8 AEG!
With over 60 pages of text and illustrations, this e-book is a
MUST READ if you plan to maximize the potential of your LPEG!

Types of LPEG
<< High
FPS Upgrade >>
What are the
key elements of a high FPS setup?
FPS increase in meter readings VS performance increase in a
practical sense: the law of diminishing marginal gain in
performance.
BB bullets: the heavier the better?
Does FPS always go hand in hand with Joule?
What is the difference between the FPS system and the Joule
system?
How do you use FPS to measure Joule?
How do you use FPS to give an estimate of the range?
Higher FPS = lower ROF?
Softer spring = Higher ROF?
Harder spring = Lower ROF?
Is 8.4V insufficient for an upgraded mechbox?
Does battery size matter?
Longer spring versus shorter spring: the longer the better?
What are the major parameters of a spring?
Is a harder spring more harmful for the internals?
Installing a long spring: tricks and potential danger.
Installing a short spring: tricks and potential danger.
Why (and why not) should the spring be ground?
How to facilitate spring spinning?
What is a variable pitch spring? Is it always better for
LPEG?
Use of spacers for spring compression: tricks and potential
danger.
What is wrong with a custom made spring?
Systema Springs versus PDI Springs (for Type I LPEG)
Can stainless steel spring offer better FPS?
Can Telfon Coated spring offer better FPS?
What motor do most Type II/III LPEGs use?
Why (and why not) should I use a Bore-Up Cylinder?
Different guns use different cylinders that have different
number and position of openings. Why’s that?
Is it useful to block the cylinder opening altogether?
Why is it useful to put holes on the piston head? Any
alternative?
Why (and why not) should I use a metallic piston head?
How about a silent head set?
Is aluminum piston more durable?
Why (and why not) is the one o’clock gear timing an issue
for Type I LPEG?
Can I still use the smaller batteries to power my upgraded
mechbox?
I want to hide my battery inside the grip and the stock but
the battery cells are too big. What should I do?
Chaining up your batteries: Parallel VS Serial
configurations.
Should I use Sanyo battery cells for maximum performance?
Why (and why not) is it necessary to replace the stock
wires?
Why is it necessary to shorten the wires?
Can I use stereo wires instead?
Why (and why not) is it necessary to replace the stock
Tamiya connector?
Are NiCd batteries superior to NiMH batteries for driving
upgraded mechbox?
What is wrong with the soda can test?
What is right with the soda can test?
What is the most accurate way to measure FPS?
<< High
ROF Upgrade >>
What are the
key elements of a high ROF setup?
Can I increase the ROF while keeping the FPS at the stock
level by using 9.6V battery?
Voltage VS mah – which one matters the most?
Can I increase the ROF by replacing the mechanical contact
switch with a solid state switching mechanism based on
MOSFET?
Can I increase the ROF by using capacitors at the power
source?
How can I increase the ROF while keeping the FPS at
near-the-stock-level?
What is the right type of spring and battery to use for this
purpose?
<< High
Accuracy Upgrade >>
What are the
key elements of a high accuracy setup?
Does a V-HopUp help?
How to improve accuracy with short barrel?
Can a long barrel deliver higher accuracy and range?
Why (and why not) should I replace the stock cylinder when
using a longer inner barrel?
What is good about a high precision barrel?
How to maximize the effectiveness of a high precision
barrel?
What is the drawback of using a high precision barrel?
What can cause the hopup rubber to break?
I have to wind my hop almost all the way up just to get flat
flight. What is wrong?
<< BE
Tech plastic V3 mechbox series >>
Are the stock
plastic gears durable enough?
Should I replace the plastic gears with metal gears?
Should I replace the stock cylinder set?
Can I mix and match TM piston with the stock cylinder?
How do I fix the fore grip wobble problem?
Can I use the TM high cap on it?
What is proper LPEG usage?
