Is precocking bad for your aeg gearbox?

[steverebo]

So my gun is back up and running perfectly with no feeding issues or anything so in the interest in preserving the gearbox as much as possible I wanted to know if precocking is bad for the gearbox?

For the gear box in general, I've never had an issue precocking, however it does mean your spring will be compressed for an increased amount of time so its life span will be reduced slightly. If you don't decompress it after a game day then this fps loss over time will be dramatically shorter.

It does put extra strain on the piston/sector gear, but nothing I'd worry about.

 

Most mosfets have the option to disable precocking on the fly, so once you're done playing you use said function and store the gun with the spring relaxed.

Perfect cheers guys that's exactly what I wanted to hear
