  • Obviously everyone is going to have their preferences for air seal components and obviously as I have said has led to a bunch of inconsistencies so just do some research and do diligence of knowing what your platform likes.

    I know this is an older video but:
    you want your gearbox to produce a larger volume of air than necessary when it is new. Reason being spring tension and seals will deteriorate with time and thus reduce the air volume gradually. If your gun preduce just enough volume to reach the end of the barrel your gun will underperform after some time.

    Not sure why you mentioned gear ratio -- has nothing to do with the compression volume. Did you mean DSG/short stroke vs standard SSG, bore-up compression parts, or standard cylinders vs elongated DMR cylinders? For undervolume situation, there is no vacuum happening, its just loss of positive pressure before the BB exits the barrel. The pressure never goes negative in the barrel -- it's practically impossible. For overvolume situation, its not necessarily an issue with putting wear on the system. The concern would be that the airseal components would need to be good enough to handle the higher pressure to not leak air and cause FPS loss/inconsistencies. If airseal is good then you have to worry about joule creeping as you go up in BB weight. Reason why airsoft sites should be chrono-ing with at least .28g BBs.
    Hey if you guys ever want someone to consult on more complex tech info, hmu on Instagram @midwest.tech. I'm in northern Illinois and I'll be attending UW-M next year. I really enjoy your presence in the industry and would love to help out.

      1:45 in I explain why people need to be conscience of gear ratio. 14:1 gears dont get as much air volume as 18:1 so it actually has everything to do with compression volume.
      Edit: Its still morning, DSG vs every other gear is what I meant. With DSG the compensation is higher spring tension to shoot the limited air volume through the nozzle faster.

    That was a great, informative video, thanks.
    I've just bought the JG M16a1 and the inner barrel is 510mm x 6.08mm. That is a lot longer than the 14.5 inches you talked about there. I wonder if it is losing FPS as standard because of its length? 🤔
    I reckon I'll be installing a 6.03mm inner barrel but that won't make too much of a difference.
    It shoots 0.25g BBs at 264 fps (only allowed 1 joule in Ireland)

    What is the cylinder volume to inner barrel volume ratio? I've seen discussion of that under BASR forums, but I'm not sure what it should be for AEGs or GBBPs.

    • @AirsoftHeadquarters
      @AirsoftHeadquarters  Před 3 lety

      For a ratio? It should be 1:1, its easier to get close to that in BASR or AEGs but its impossible to get a consistent and accurate volume ratio for anything GBB

      @@AirsoftHeadquarters that’s technically wrong, you want something bigger then 1:1.
      Generally 1:1.5 is roughly starting point and higher for heavier bbs. At about 1:2 ish you can start to joule creep ish.

      Gas guns really don’t care about average available airsoft barrel lengths. Like even a 600mm barrel won’t get even close to being undervolumed.

  • @GR4MPI
    @GR4MPI Před 9 měsíci +3

    Bruh wtf… gear ratio is not ratio between the cylinder teeth, if u have 13:1 or 16:1 the cylinder is moved always the same distance -> same air volume pushed… also you should never have full cylinder if you use any standard barrel length. Having lower air volume than the barrel doesnt have almost any negatives… it have positives acrually as long as you are having drilled port as the piston reaches higher speed as no air being compressed from the beginnig thus compressing much faster increasing muzzle velocity while having lower air volume zulul… your theory is missing the part about speed of the nozzle while compressing or not compressing… also i tested this from 500 mm to 200mm barrel full to half cylinder and best results are with about 2/3 cylinder volume and basically any barrel lenght gives the best… accuracy is almost the same

      The thing about gear ratios changing the piston stroke made me double take as well. Only thing that can change the stroke of the piston (and therefore usable cylinder volume) is the number of teeth on the outer part of the.sector gear
