Can you upgrade an electric airsoft pistol?

While the modifications cannot be as extensive as electric airsoft rifles and SMGs, it is entirely possible to have minor upgrades on electric airsoft pistols with the few proprietary parts available. However it is important to note that upgrades for electric pistols are unlikely to have the performance gains you will see in other guns due to the significantly smaller size of the gearbox and that any upgrades done are unlikely to have a significant effect on gameplay as pistols are suppose to be short ranged weapons anyway.
