Airsoft has been well established in Asia for over 20 years, but only in recent years has there been much interest in the rest of the world. Most professional literature on Airsoft were written in Japanese, with very few translated works available.

In early 2005, when AirsoftPRESS was founded by a group of airsoft specialists, airsofters outside of Japan either relied on free speculated advices from the internet or paid a gunsmith for service. Selling professionally developed self-help guides to the public was scandalous, and when people first began to show up in games armed with nothing but a weapon upgraded under the guidance of an AirsoftPRESS publication, many people laughed.

But then a funny thing happened. Although some "experts" scolded the public that it was foolish to upgrade or maintain an airsoft gun without seeking direct person-to-person advice, ordinary airsofters soon proved them wrong. Self-help guides from AirsoftPRESS were slowly becoming respectable.

Over time, AirsoftPRESS's publications became essential fixtures on Airsofters' workbenches, and soon, even some Airsoft dealers began using AirsoftPRESS's materials and recommending them to their customers.

 

Announcing our first printed airsoft publication

Ultra FPS & ROF: Configuring the Airsoft V2 Mechbox

 

Now available via Amazon!

What this book is about:

This Ultra FPS & ROF series book is an extension to the Advanced V2 Mechbox Guide marketed under the AirsoftPRESS brand name. With feedback from customers and reviewers we further develop the original mechbox guide to additionally cover manufacturer specific tech info for FPS/ROF optimization.

To achieve ultra high FPS, you need to make sure the entire mechbox mechanism is optimized in such a way that the desired FPS can be produced without sacrificing ROF and battery life. High FPS performance must be achieved with practicality in mind – you should not need to trade off power with other performance factors, and the gears should not get striped too easily.

On the other hand, to achieve ultra high ROF you’ll need to make sure the entire mechbox mechanism is optimized in such a way that piston movement is fast enough to produce the rate of fire desired. That means you need to use techniques to reduce the friction introduced due to fast movement, to ensure the spring can rebound fast enough after compression, and to reduce the overall workload of the gears and the motor.

The primary goal of this guide is to help you improve FPS and ROF in a cost effective way. Different mechbox modification techniques are covered. Additionally, we address the issues of air tightness and battery configuration which are outside of the mechbox but are still highly relevant to the overall airsoft AEG performance.

The goal of proper air sealing is to fill every gap along the air flow path to minimize air leakage and create an efficient environment for propelling BBs out of the barrel. We teach you how to maximize air seal at the two most critical areas along the air flow path, which are the cylinder set (from piston to air nozzle) and the Barrel / Hopup set.

The correct voltage on which an AEG motor is required to operate is critical. Every motor model is unique. Different models have different operating characteristics. In general, a 5% decrease in voltage can often translate into a 10% decrease in motor torque. The goal of this section is to help you determine the correct type of battery pack to use for your AEG, as well as to teach you the corresponding charging techniques.

 

 

Why should I buy your e-books if I can get answers from the airsoft boards out there?

  • You can ask as many questions as you like on those airsoft boards, and for sure you will get many different answers - all filled with speculation. Let's face it, "risk-free" free lunch doesn't exist.

  • Reading a book is like attending a class. You want to learn the correct way of doing things and avoid all sorts of costly mistakes. Think about it - if the parts are ruined due to improper upgrade methods, how much is it gonna cost you to have them fixed?

Are your e-books simply compilations of free internet information?

  • Absolutely NOT. The TOCs show the common concerns and difficulties faced by most airsofters. The contents are the VERIFIED technical information (i.e. the accurate answers) provided by our team of technical experts who are part of the airsoft industry. In fact, our answers to many technical issues are different from the so-called expert advices posted on the free internet forums. We know what we are talking about.

Why don't you offer the e-books in hard copy format?

  • If we have them in hard copy, the cost and price will have to be much higher in order to offset the additional costs on operation and logistics.

  • We also believe that our readers pay for the valuable information presented in our books, not for a bunch of inked paper.

  • Our eBook is designed with the look and feel of a real book. You can even print out any page you like with a simple mouse click.

  • Save a TREE! Why cut more trees when we don't have to?

Why don't you just publish the e-book on your web site and make them available for free (and charge people on ads instead)? 

  • AirsoftPRESS has the goal of becoming a credible information source. For now, our route is to publish e-books.

  • If we base our revenue solely on ads, chance is that we may have to publish biased opinions. Maximum separation of editorial and advertising is possible only if we don' rely solely on ads.

Why don't you publish some testimonials made by your customers?

  • Oh, we thought that the "testimonial" marketing trick doesn't work in the modern days. Do they (still) work? :>

What English dictionary do you base your spell check on?

  • US English. If you find any spelling mistakes, let us know and we will pass the info to Microsoft :>

  • The level on "the use of English" is a highly subjective matter. Our goal is to have the contents presented in such a way that even a beginner can have no problem understanding them.

Who are your target audiences?

  • Airsofters who are relatively new to airsoft upgrade & maintenance and are willing to learn the most appropriate ways of doing things without making costly mistakes.

Can I purchase resell rights?

Basically you need an internet capable computer running on Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista, equipped with stable internet connection. In terms of software, you need an email software to register the ebook and receive activation instructions.
