Piston & Piston Heads

Pistons and piston heads play crucial roles in the firing mechanism of airsoft guns, impacting both performance and durability. The piston is a critical component in the gearbox of automatic electric guns (AEGs). When the trigger is pulled, it compresses a powerful spring. Upon release, the spring pushes the piston forward, creating a burst of air pressure. This compressed air drives the BB pellet down the barrel and out of the gun's muzzle. The piston head is affixed to the front of the piston. It acts as a seal, ensuring efficient air compression within the cylinder. A good piston head provides a tight seal, maximizing the gun's power and accuracy. Both parts contribute significantly to an airsoft gun's performance. A well-designed piston and piston head combination can enhance muzzle velocity, range, and consistency, while a poorly maintained or damaged piston can lead to reduced power and accuracy. Regular maintenance and upgrades can optimize an airsoft gun's performance.
