Somewhat noob question on Power-up pistons

Postby God » Tue Aug 02, 2011 3:01 pm

I am looking at buying a cheap aluminum piston... http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=648_690&products_id=35611 as my ECHO 1 M28 is slam firing a lot... My only question(besides will that fit) is what does it mean by 25% power up, 50% and so on... Does it mean 25% more fps? I did GOOGLE it-.-

Sort of. Power up pistons increase fps, and the percent is just an estimate.

Results will vary.

Call the surgeons and tell them to take the day off, because I'll be doing all the operating now.

There's a point where this needs to stop, and we've clearly passed it

If I'm hitting ~500fps, 25% won't be a big increase then? It won't be 125 fps more?

The sears look barely used. I recently installed TM stock sears too... Both sears had the same thing happen(slam-firing) whilst installed.

No. It won't hit 625fps. Sorry. More like 550.

BTW: Good deals don't mean a good product.

Buyer Beware.

Well, I can't find any pistons that aren't plastic but also aren't $50-$150-.-
