Just re-posting a copy of this guide..AS REQUESTED BY STANSUAREZ... credit is still due to the original writer..


Welcome to FAS [Tech n' Maint Forum] Posted here are collection of technical information from previous forum threads (FAS/AGL) and general facts from experienced veteran gunsmiths and players: Thank you! ;D

SPRINGS: (Approx. Settled Spring FPS on .20gBB)
Stock Gun (brand new gun) = 270-290 FPS
CQB Gun: M100 / SP100 / PDI120% = 330-350 FPS < FAP CQB Standard
Standard Field Gun: M120 / SP120 / PDI170% = 390-410 FPS [.20gBB stable] < COMMON UPGRADE
Std High Field Gun 1: M130 / SP130 / PDI190% / PDI210% = 440-460 FPS [.20gBBmin .23gBB stable]
Std High Field Gun 2: M140 / SP140 / PDI240% = 470-490 FPS [.23gBBmin .25gBB stable]
Sniper Field Gun 1: M150 / SP150 / PDI270% = 510-530FPS [.28gBB stable] < FAP Sniper Standard
Sniper Field Gun 2: M160 / SP160 = 550-580FPS [.30g/.36gBB sweet-stable] < rat buster
Sniper Field Gun 3: M170 / SP170 = 580-600+ FPS [.36g/.43gBB sweet-stable] < cat buster
Spring Power Chart filairsoft.com/airsoft103.htm
BB goes wild = BB too light -- BB range seems near = BB too heavy

GEARS: (Does NOT affect Gun FPS, only ROF)
Infinite=(1) Ultra=(2) SuperTorqueUp=(3) TorqueUp=(4) StockRatio=(5) FastGear=(6)
>> Numbers indicate "car-gear-shift". *Small batts (non Sub-C) DOWNSHIFT to next LOWER gear. <
Common Gear-to-Spring Setup for Big Batt (engine) (Sub-C):
Fast Gears (6) - UP TO M100 / SP100 / PDI120%
Stock Gears (5) can 'safely' handle up to M130, SP130, PDI190% < on 9.6v 1700mAh(min)
Torque Up Gears (4) - M130 / SP130 / PDI190%-210% or LOWER
Torque Up Gears OR Super Torque Up (4/3) - M140 / SP140 / PDI240%
Ultra Torque Up Gears (2) - M150 / SP150 / PDI270%
Ultra or Infinite Gears (2/1) - M160 / SP160 < Needs minor machining to fit on Ver.2 GearBox
Infinite Torque Up Gears (1) - M170 / SP170 < Needs minor machining to fit on Ver.2 GearBox
*Some Gear set won't fit on some reinforced Gearbox-CHECK first before you get one.
*No known machining on stock ver.3 GearBox to fit any gear set.
*AVOID using Bearing Bushings on M120 above. only for soft springs

M130 / SP130 / PDI190%-PDI210% on STOCK Gears will last Approx. 5-10 months (depends on use)
Stock Gears - Low Cost, nice ROF. will not last long. (cast alloy)
Flat Gears - Noisier, Cheaper. More durable (steel)
Helical Gears - Silent. Expensive. shimming sensitive (steel) <Avoid pairing w/ Bearing Bushings

BATTERY: (Does NOT affect Gun FPS, only ROF and Rounds of fire)
Voltage = Rate of Fire (ROF) mAh = BB-Rounds (Power/Stamina)

BEST BUY: 9.6v 1700mAh(small-type) 9.6v 2400mAh(large-type)

Approx. CHARGING Time on 1000mAh Output Charger:
600mAh = 36mins(min) 42mins(std) 48mins(max)

*Charger should be 1 to 3 volts higher voltage than total battery voltage
Go over to digibattery.com for more battery-charging-time calculations
DISCHARGING: Number of batteries in a Pack = Max discharge volts.
(ex. 9.6v = 8cells in a pack = 8.0v is the maximum discharged voltage)

PISTON: Depends on your spring and trigger abuse.
M140 Above = Aluminum Piston (for ratatat players)
. Choice1: ICS Aluminum Piston
. Choice2: Systema Aluminum Piston
*if compatible, get the half-tooth to lessen the weight
M140 Below = Polycarbonate Piston
. Choice1: Guarder Polycarb Piston (blue)
. Choice2: Tokyo Marui Stock Piston (white) <-- polycarbonate too
. Choice3: Systema Polycarb Piston (black) < brittle bad choice
AVOID the RED PISTON-Systema Polycarb (defective) there's a newer version
*have'nt tried the TGS(blue) nor the TOP yet, but it looks promising <-- pls review
*some use polycarbs on m140 above but with trigger care

CYLINDER: (cylinderVolume-to-barrel-ratio) 2 is to 1 (standard)
Marui Stock Cylinders:
1. Closed Cylinder = 27.1cc 450mm(min) 580mm(max) barrel length
2. XM Cylinder = "4/5 hole" = 364mm(min) 460mm(max) barrel length
3. M4 Cylinder = "3/4 hole" aka Type-2 17cc - 229mm(min) 430mm(max) barrel length
4. MP5K Cylinder = "mid hole" 9cc 110mm(min) 170mm(max) barrel length

Systema NB Standard and BoreUp Parts:
1. Type-0 Cylinder (closed) fits M16-A1,VN,A2,G3-A4,SG1,SIG550,AUG
2. Type-1 Cylinder (tip hole) for XM177, M4, AK47, AK47S, SIG551
3. Type-2 Cylinder (XM hole) for MP5-A4,A5,SD5,SD6, MC51,SIG552
4. Type-3 Cylinder (M4 "3/4" hole) for MP5 PDW
5. Type-4 Cylinder (MP5K mid hole) for MP5K
*BoreUp Closed 29.4cc = 500mm(min) 600mm(max) barrel length


KM Cylinder Parts:
*Intercept Cylinder 59 barrel length from 450mm to 590mm (Type 0)
*Intercept Cylinder 45 barrel length from 250mm to 450mm (Type 2)
*Intercept Cylinder 25 barrel length from 100mm to 250mm (Mid-hole)

*To avoid confusion, don't mix brand model names, just model equivalence
*TM M733 by stock is closed cylinder (Type 0) -over ratio

RATIO Guide: Standard-Efficient Ratio is 1.5 is to 1

2-2.5 : 1 for springs up to M130 --- 2.5-3.0 : 1 for strong springs M140 -> UP
<needs further research>

GAS: (for gas guns/pistols)
Freon12/Flon12 (94psi) = HFC134a (97psi) a.k.a. Green Gas
Freon22/Flon22 (140psi) a.k.a. TOP Gas, Taiwanese Green Gas,Omega Gas,ToyJack Gas
RED Gas = a bit higher pressure (?) than TOP Gas
BLACK Gas = highest pressure for airsoft <carbon<myth?
*pressures on 30C / 86F manila temp. / gas expansion speed differs from each type of gas

nice info... very helpfull

[Pfc. Cj6_HawkeYe]

Nice 1 very helpfull indeed tnx...

[jhasdemolay]

sir ganda po ng info nyo specially sa kagaya ko na nagsisimula pa lang sa sport na ito may konti na akong na learn... it would be more helpful for me cguro sir if you could provide some technical drawings sa mga parts ng airsoft kahit yung mga basic lang o important kc hindi ko pa gaano kabisado yung mga parts and what it looks like..tnx sir in advance..

[miyong]

Sir, deadlink na po yung Gearbox disassembly for TMs. gusto ko sana makita yung sa m16 at ver.3 gearbox ng TM. sana marepost ang link thanks sir
