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

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?
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.
