Mmmkay.
Bought a Guarder SP90 for the striker, it chronoes at 1.05J on a Guarder SP100.
One would say "good, it'll drop to 0.9something", right?
Nope. 0.6J...
Decided to nip a coil off the SP100, power goes up to almost 1.1J...
Another coil off, 1.08..
A third of the spring is now in pieces and finally the bloody thing is below 1J....

Specs change but SP90 seems irregular at one end...
slightly tighter at one end than the other
so you "should" have got some difference
compared to a regular spring...
(which should be same either way round)
Some other irregular springs are tighter in middle
AND one of the ends are tighter than the other...
Honestly the way the spring is fitted can make a difference
(as said I've flipped a spring to squeeze another 10fps more than once)
The SP90 or SP100 should just be tighter at one end
so should have made some slight difference
BUT like I said specs can change and be a different spring
or most likely just them qwirky airsoft gremlins
as said these spring/power stuff doesn't always follow logic
Probably why Mr Spock doesn't do airsoft
(his ears would be stinging as easy big target)
you got it sorted & that's all that matters

Yep, I am definitely gonna experiment more with this irregular spring theory. I've heard it in the past but never got to "play" with it.
SP100 is done but I still have the SP90 and I can always buy another SP100 after all it's €7.50, won't lose my sleep over that amount, plus having an extra spring in my spare parts drawer is always nice.
i just thought it was funny to cut a spring and gain power
Now I can SlAy ChEeTaHs on Sunday
