Gas Efficiency
The term used to descibe how well the marker uses the propellant gas. Some markers are less gas efficient that others due to their action.
Gas Through Grip
This is a grip which usually fits on a verytical ASA (in front of the trigger gurad) and provides a gripping surface (in lieu of a fore grip -- q.v.). THey are used when an expansion chamber or regulator is not installed in the vertical ASA.
Gas Through Stock
This is a stock designed to screw into a back bottle or bottom Line
ASA. It has a coupling on it that allows a remote hose to be connected to
it, this providing the systems with a pressurized power source. The gas
through stock is usually found on a marker that has a remote system setup
as the stock takes the place of the tank, which was originally used as the
shoulder stock. A gas through stock allows the player to screw a stock
into the ASA and not have to worry about how they are going to connect
their remote, which is usually connected directly into the ASA, to the
system.
