The purpose of a 'Delayer'

Hey there guys. I've been ordering some parts for some gearbox reworking, and I came a part that sits on the spur gear. I was wondering what exactly it delays and how that can be useful? From the URL I'm guessing the hopup feature...

that picture on the package is a gear from a gearbox, so could be some kind of Burst mechanism that delays the guns full rotation i have no idea btw just guessing :)

Thanks, anyway. A burst fire AUG... That sound nice :D

 
as i said i was just guessing about the burst thing :) defo a gearbox item however

 
A very small, very clever component.

This tappet plate delayer prevents misfeeds in AEGs with a very high rate of fire. It fits over the sector gear and closes the gap between the gear and the tappet plate as it passes over. This delays the return of the tappet plate momentarily resulting in no misfeeds with high rate of fire gearboxes.

 
Would also depend on the quality of the magazine as well don't forget but still an awesome product :)

 
I have never heard it being called a "delayer". That ad is very misleading it says "for AEG hop-up" for some reason.

We always call it a sector clip. Basically its what devastator said. It goes onto the sector gear and both releases stress and better controls the tappet plate and feeding. Regardless of if your gun is high speed I would recommend getting one because of its benefits.

That clears it up. Thanks!
