Higher Power Spring in Your Airsoft Gun

How to measure real hardness of airsoft springs?

Surely you have heard story how from weak airsoft spring someone got extremely high power. But where is a truth? Expect at it with us.

Spring is basically the main upgrade part which assist in increasingpower/energy of airsoft gun. Their marker is dissimilar by specific manufacturers and destination. Signing most often begin with letters Yard and SP. As a general rule is that the digits later letter indicates the theoretical muzzle velocity which is specified in 1000/due south. For example with spring M120 (of course - for correctly assambled weapon) should be able to reach the muzzle velocity of 120 yard/due south. Sometimes the leap hardness is indicated by a percentage. The digits in this example means by how many per centum is spring stronger than basic spring. In general nosotros can say that mark by a percentage is very disruptive and complicated.

The important just often forgotten factor isreal jump hardness. Delight know that there is no standard or mostly respected norm. Due to this reason a lot of bound manufacturers make products, where is possible to measure real hardness of spring 1 or two levels more harder, than is signed on label package. Logically this may cause problems for guns where the configuration of inner parts is fitted for a some working status. Using of unsuitable spring have negative effect on all components and this pb to higher and faster damage.

In our service workshopwe mensurate the real hardness of each spring what are installed to guns. Nosotros follow the range of bound hardness fromSystema brand, which were on the market first and therefore in our opinion they definedfirst standard. These springs attain the realistic power and labels on packaging corresponded with this standard for case: spring with sign M120 = 120 1000/southward, M150 = 150 m/southward etc.

It absolutely does not make sense to play the game like: "I accept gun with spring M120 merely the power of my gun is 145 m/southward! Hey I am a great man." or on the other side "My gun has limit for my country, because I take M120 spring just! I don't understand, why your chrono say that my cage velocity is 145 yard/southward.".

Surely you lot have heard from someone that some brands of springs are better than others and guns with them achieve greater power. Again this does not make sense, because it is always about comparison of the wire bore, material, method of winding and number of turns. It is unproblematic, it is non possible to get something more from a spring. This is reason why existent hardness is more than important than sign on characterization from producer. Also keep in mind that each spring, sooner or later, will weaken and stabilise at a lower ability - mainly stronger types. Also is not clever to buy an expensive leap, because they will be "tired" after similar catamenia every bit cheaper springs. It is meliorate to replace weaken spring once per every 2 years for a new one.

How to measure real hardness? According to the following instructions you tin can make measuring device past yourself and find out the real spring hardness. You volition made a Newtonmeter for pinch springs.

How to measure real stiffness of airsoft spring

Clarification: to plate of thickness 7.ii cm you have to drill a vertical hole for inserting the measuring rod (weight of rod - 130g). Rod has a scale along its length to determine hardness. At the top of the measuring rod is bolt, which will compress the spring. On the bottom side of the rod is weight of 6.5 kg. Bound is compressed afterwards inserting betwixt the bolt and plate. The real hardness of spring you can read nether the plate at the signal indicated in the pic.

This meter for mensurate of existent hardness of airsoft springs nosotros utilise in our service workshop for more than than x years. Information technology'southwarduseful device when we are upgrading and repairing every airsoft guns considering techniques can measure the real hardness. They can better choose configuration of upgrade parts (turning ratio of gears set, speed of motor and bombardment voltage). After gun is assembled nosotros measure muzzle velocity. In this moment is possible to make up one's mind if final power agrees with the existent hardness of spring. The technician simply determines if somewhere escape air pressure, something go incorrect or if he make good job and got 15 m/south (50 fps) over the real spring hardness.
