I’m sliding the hop towards the magazine as the slide says HOP-> which I assume put hop on.. pullin out towards the muzzle is hop off

That would include the chap that I met at a site the other week; I tried to explain to him that using 0.28g BBs at 340fps was not acceptable but he was not having it.  Watching him try to argue it with the chrono marshal and then the site owner was amusing.

So… moving the hop made it fire a hell of a lot faster. 
 
So here is the results from my Acetech tracer BT. 
 
I have tried leaving the spring engaged  for a while and put a fair few mags through the gun and it’s still firing high. 
 
As you can see from the results the 352 FPS is with no hop at all as soon as I start moving the hop slide in towards the magazine it fire a hell of a lot faster.
 
So what options do I have now? Use 0.25g BBs?? 
 
Thanks again guys! 
 
 

Thanks guys!
 
So more hop = lower velocity? So technically if my hop is off that could be a real reason why it’s over powering? 
 
Im going to set the hop as best as I can and hopefully after putting a few mags through it it calms down. 
 
Regarding the hop slide altering itself iv read quite a lot about this happening so I will be sure to tighten that up and secure it. 
 
Thanks again guys! Brilliant help! I’ll keep you all posted.

No man the advice is brilliant I didn’t take any offence haha! Mines the slide type Hop. I have a feeling my hop is off. So I’ll try and get a decent amount of space and try and dial that in as best as I can.
 
Just a recap, you suggest I should use 0.25s instead of 0.20s? I do mainly play CQB at the moment. 
 
Thanks again for all your help. I left the spring cocked ( pressed te trigger until the motor sounded but didn’t fire and i am going to leave it for a few days. Hopefully my tracer chrono will arrive so I can keep taps on averages etc. 
 
again thanks very much for your time and help! 👍🏽

In a normal cycle you'll hear the motor run before it fires.
What you have to do is let go of the trigger as the motor is running but before it fires.
Usually a quick tap will do it but try several times to get the timing.
