possibly the motor connector has popped off (happened on my SPR once). Or maybe you have blown the fuse?

No trust me you have ruined it.

I've tried PDI, Orga and Prometheus inner barrels in my Krytacs, none of them improved over the OE Krytac barrel.

Thats my point exactly I tried pretty much every after market barrel you can get and a ZCI while being a nice cheap barrel is not in the same league as the likes of a PDI. The Krytac barrel will be better and the extra length just ruins whats good about the gun which is its manoeuvrability. Will need to run a suppresor or new front end to cover it and that makes the gun longer and less pointable and that makea no sense to do as you are removing performance and not gaining anything.
People really need to learn what an upgrade actually is.

Pound for pound everybody's upgrade is better than mine but thats because I do stupid things.

Upgrades & maintenance....
Sometimes change so much stuff and then the receiver reminds me of Fools & Horses "same broom"

It does mean I have to put a 100mm supressor on it, but it hardly makes it less pointable..of course I can't use it now as it's shooting hot, so in that respect you could argue it's ruined... which brings me back to my original question! I guess I could put a scope on it, lock it to semi and call it a dmr..

Just put a lower power spring in it. While you have got the gun apart you could change the Krytac gears out for some ARES ones and change the motor for a G&G one and you will have the perfect custom build.

I put the zci barrel in because I had it laying about, I'd read that the pdw could gain useful range with a longer barrel, I wasn't expecting the jump in fps. Why would I bother changing the spring when all I need to do is refit the original barrel and get back to 340fps, though I will s-hop it first. I won't be changing any internals as I'm quite happy with them...thanks for all your help though.

I was taking the p*ss :lol:
A longer barrel will do absolutely nothing for the PDW it shoots with the same range and accuracy as the CRB so that barrel will probably only make it worse because its of lower quality.
I would leave the s-hop as well as again any gains are negligible but if you really want to go down that route r-hop is better because the materials available are more durable.
Its seems to me that you are chasing the airsoft range and accuracy myths which is all they are. Your PDW is an awesome bit of kit that you made a good choice in buying and the next good choice you could make is to leave it alone.

It is a good bit of kit...but it has less range and accuracy than my cm16, I disagree about the longer barrel, in back to back tests I would say its added useful range to the pdw and I think the extra fps accounts for that, I wonder if the short barrel is over volumed. I've had good results with Sugru and it's easy to do...I can't comment on r-hop as I've not tried it. I don't think there's any harm in trying to improve a guns performance especially in regards to the hop.
