SorboPad AEG 40D (3.5mm) | FREE Delivery over €50 (ROI)
A good air seal is vital to your replicas performance and consistency. Variations between each shot make it more difficult to predict where your BB's will travel, as the power behind them is not the same, resulting in different spin applied by the hop up. In short, you have a lot more variables at play when you're trying to unleash your inner sharp shooter.
Over time your gun's air seal can degrade - O-rings can dry out, recede, or become damaged. Similarly, plastic components can become misshapen, further increasing the shot to shot variance. Replacing your air seal components with high quality parts can improve your performance, as well as making your replica more efficient, however the primary reason for it is improving consistency. If you want the best, you need a good base to start from, and that means ensuring minimal variance between shots.
EPES Airsoft is a research and development brand based in Czech Republic, with a focus on internal parts, helping you get the most out of your replica. From sorbo pads to reduce wear and tear, and alter the noise profile of your replica, to shims, piston heads, hop up chambers, O-rings, and so much more. Since its inception, their focus has been on precision manufacturing of parts not readily available on the market, as well as making consistent improvement on already existing parts.
Sorbo pads are used for shock absorption, helping to dampen the impact of the piston hitting the cylinder head, as well as reducing the noise profile of your AEG. Due to the reduced impact, your gearbox will live longer, and also has the benefit of improving the angle of engagement (AoE) i.e. the pickup angle of the piston, reducing piston wear.
Installation requires complete disassembly of your replica. If you are at all unsure, please seek the aid of a professional
