This guide details the installation of the Burst Avocado MOSFET into an Airsoft Electric Gun (AEG). It covers removing the original wiring and fuse, connecting the MOSFET unit, and ensuring proper battery fitment. The guide also touches upon the unit's low-voltage detection and active braking features, crucial for LiPo battery longevity and AEG performance.

Quick Summary

The Burst Avocado MOSFET is an Airsoft Electronic Trigger Unit (ETU) that provides a programmable three-round burst fire mode, low-voltage battery protection for LiPo batteries, and active braking. Reprogramming involves holding the trigger until a beep, cycling the trigger for the desired burst count, and holding again for confirmation. While easy to install, it doesn't bypass trigger contacts, which can lead to wear over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Burst Avocado MOSFET and what does it do?

The Burst Avocado MOSFET is an electronic trigger unit for Airsoft AEGs that enables a programmable three-round burst fire mode, similar to firearms like the M4. It also features low-voltage detection for LiPo batteries and active braking to improve performance and component longevity.

How do you reprogram the burst fire setting on the Burst Avocado MOSFET?

To reprogram, keep the trigger depressed until you hear a beep. Then, pull the trigger the desired number of times for your burst (e.g., four, five, or six times). Finally, pull and hold the trigger again until a confirmation beep sounds.

What are the advantages of using the Burst Avocado MOSFET?

It adds a realistic three-round burst function, provides low-voltage cutoff to protect LiPo batteries from over-draining, and includes active braking to prevent motor over-spin and spring pre-compression, enhancing AEG performance and durability.

What are the potential drawbacks of the Burst Avocado MOSFET?

A significant drawback is that, unlike some other MOSFETs, it does not bypass the trigger contacts. This means all current passes through them, potentially causing them to burn out over time, especially when using high-voltage LiPo batteries.

Is the Burst Avocado MOSFET easy to install in an Airsoft AEG?

Installation is generally straightforward, especially if your AEG has sufficient space in the battery chamber. It replaces the existing fuse and wiring connected to the gearbox, and typically does not require extensive rewiring.
