Specna Arms Type 2 Perforated Aluminum Cylinder

The blue Type 2 cylinder is an essential component of the gearbox in AEG airsoft replicas. Its function is to guide the piston and create an airtight seal, ensuring that compressed air propels the BB with power and precision. A cylinder in good condition is vital to prevent air leaks, FPS loss, and inconsistent shots.

In an AEG replica, the cylinder works in conjunction with the piston:
The piston retracts, creating a volume of compressed air within the cylinder.
The piston moves forward, forcing air through the barrel and propelling the BB.
The seal between the piston and the cylinder is crucial for optimal power.
The Type 2 cylinder is the most common standard model, compatible with the majority of V2 and V3 gearboxes. The blue color may indicate a specific treatment (e.g., anti-friction coating) or serve as a manufacturer identifier (to facilitate recognition).
