How do AEGs work?
AEGs have a series of three gears connected to an electric motor and a spring-loaded piston, all contained within a metal shell called the mechbox. There are several versions of mechbox, but all function in essentially the same way. Electrical current from your rechargeable battery powers the motor, which turns the gears, pulling back the piston all the way and then releasing it. The spring then drives the piston forward through a cylinder and the pressure generated by this motion is used to propel the BB.
