I'd like to share some cautionary words of wisdom for all those would-be Airsoft Gun Doctors out there.

"If it ain't broke, fix it until it is"

If you don't experiment with these things there's really no way to learn how AEG's work internally. I find that almost all the experienced gun docs are VERY experienced players that have simply decided to do upgrades and such themselves instead of paying for them. Here's the catch though, while you're learning you really need to have some extra money around, because you WILL break things. This can range from motors, to gears, to bodies and accessories, but you're going to break lots of stuff while "fixing" or "adjusting" other things. Until you learn how everything works that is.

Just figured I'd share, because I recently came across a thread on my local airsoft forum where someone was complaining about not being able to find a gun doc mentor. If you aren't the kind of person that likes to take things apart and see how they work, you're not the kind of person that would be a good gun doc.
