How does an ASG spring replica work?

Sniper rifle

Sniper rifle popularly known as a sniper rifle. Structurally, the replicas are modeled on the combustible counterparts of selector rifles with four-barreled, double-barreled or semi-automatic breechloaders. Replicas of this type are designed for accurate firing at long distances. Features: high accuracy, simple design and low rate of fire.

Shotgun

Shotguns, are modeled after most available pump-action shotgun models. A popular type of replicas in CQB combat. They can fire 3 or more rounds with a single pull of the trigger. Before each shot, it is necessary to tension the system with the reloading lever as in the flammable counterpart. Features: low operating cost, simplicity of design and low rate of fire.

Stages of the mechanism on the example of a sniper rifle:

Stage 1

The replica is in the home position - the spring is not tensioned, the rifle is not ready to fire. By moving the reloading lever upwards, the spring system is unlocked, making it possible to tension the spring.

Stage 2

By pulling the reloading lever, the cylinder is pulled back, and the mainspring inside is compressed between the guide and the piston. At this stage, the piston is hooked to a pawl directly connected to the trigger tongue.

Stage 3

After the piston locks onto the striker in stage two, the cylinder of the spring system is moved forward until it reaches the home position.

Stage 4

After the third stage, the reloading lever is pushed down, returning to its initial position - the replica is ready to fire. Pulling down the trigger tongue responsible for the movement of the breech releases the piston. As a result of the movement of the piston, which is driven by the expanding spring, a column of air is created. The air is directed through the nozzle towards the ball located in the Hop-up chamber. A shot follows.
