Q&A

Q: What materials is the MEC Enhanced Tappet Plate Spring made of?
A: The spring is made of stainless steel, ensuring durability and consistent performance under heavy loads.

Q: What is "midcap syndrome," and how does the MEC Enhanced Tappet Plate Spring help?
A: Midcap syndrome refers to fps fluctuations and inconsistent BB feeding caused by the upward pressure from fully loaded midcap magazines, especially the 250-round PTS EPM1. This pressure can push the nozzle out of alignment, preventing it from returning fast enough to load BBs consistently. A weak tappet plate spring is often a culprit in this situation. The MEC Enhanced Tappet Plate Spring helps resolve this issue by providing greater strength and faster nozzle return, ensuring smoother and more consistent feeding.

About the MEC Enhanced Tappet Plate Spring

The MEC Enhanced Tappet Plate Spring is a high-performance component designed for airsoft enthusiasts seeking improved reliability in their AEGs. Made from durable stainless steel, this spring is built to endure heavy use and extreme conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance. As the only tappet plate spring officially tested and endorsed by PTS, it stands out for its exceptional quality and compatibility with PTS products, particularly their EPM and EPM1 magazines. Its robust construction makes it a dependable choice for anyone looking to enhance the internal mechanics of their airsoft gun, specifically in standard V2 and V3 gearboxes.

One of the key issues the MEC Enhanced Tappet Plate Spring addresses is the notorious "midcap syndrome." This phenomenon occurs when fully loaded midcap magazines exert significant upward pressure on the airsoft gun’s nozzle, causing it to misalign and disrupt the feeding process. This issue is especially prevalent when using high-capacity magazines like the PTS EPM1, where the strong spring inside the magazine creates extra pressure that can hinder proper BB loading. A weak or underperforming tappet plate spring can exacerbate this issue, leading to inconsistent feeding and FPS fluctuations. The MEC Enhanced Tappet Plate Spring solves this problem by offering a stronger return force, ensuring that the nozzle stays aligned and returns quickly enough to load the next BB without issue.

This tappet plate spring has undergone extensive testing with PTS magazines, demonstrating its reliability in high-pressure situations. It’s ideal for players using the EPM1 magazine, known for its high capacity and powerful spring, as the MEC spring ensures smooth operation under heavy loads. However, while the spring itself is a straightforward component, its installation requires a certain level of experience and manual skill, as it does not come with a tappet plate. This makes it a part that’s better suited for experienced airsoft technicians or those confident in handling AEG upgrades. For those who prioritize smooth feeding and consistency in their airsoft guns, the MEC Enhanced Tappet Plate Spring is an excellent upgrade.
