El Bridos shares an updated guide on short stroking for airsoft AEGs, a technique involving the removal of teeth from the sector gear. While many players mistakenly believe this is purely for trigger response, the actual purpose is to prevent premature engagement when using high-speed setups like brushless motors. By shortening the piston's cycle, technicians can use stronger springs that return the piston forward quickly enough to avoid being hit by the gear on its next rotation.
Jaeger Precision get to show how to short stroke the Lambda Defence GHM9-G GBB. The Lambda Defence B&T Licensed GHM9 GBBR SMG is a replica of the B&T GHM-9 Sub-machine gun built with aluminium, steel and nylon for durability. It boasts realistic performance, adaptability for various accessories like pistol grips and stocks, and magazine compatibility with most G17 airsoft brands, plus Lambda Defence plans to release even more upgrade parts in the future.
Piston Short Stroking
Piston short stroking is a well-known technique that helps increase ROF. The logic is simple: decrease piston cycling time by removing teeth from the piston and the sector gear. Advantage? Less stress on the gears, the motor, and the battery. Gain? One sixteenth rps per every tooth removed. Loss? 15-20fps per tooth removed.
Short stroking is done by removing teeth from the piston and the matching teeth from the sector gear.
First, the piston.
