The Angle of Engagement often abbreviated to ‘AoE’ is the angle in which the first tooth on the AEG’s sector gear contacts the piston. For stock guns this is something that can be corrected and greatly help your AEG last longer. You will see that the first tooth of the sector gear engages the first tooth of the piston in such a way that the teeth between the two do not mesh properly. The goal is to have the teeth of the sector gear contacting the piston’s teeth at aRead More

Short stroking is described as removing teeth from the piston and sector gear resulting in faster cycles on your AEG. It can also decrease your AEGs velocity. What is the benefit to this? Short stroking will improve your rate of fire and will result in faster cycle rates. It’s also an easy modification that will cost you little or no money. It will also prevent any pre-engagement *(this is when the sector gear engages the piston’s teeth while it is still in motion). What’s the downside? In short answer, shortRead More
