Reducing fps slightly

[ghostwalker]

Cheers sitting duck.

Will experiment and see what happens.

Apparently it's a dp day of vehicle ambush/escort at our site this Sunday. So if all else fails I will still have the l86 to fall back on and both guns will be suited to the job at hand.

I do wonder if moving the hop that little fraction will actually help with the feeding issues the gun has from time to time with some mags.

Well it might maybe perhaps sort of thing but main thing is try and get the damn gun under limit so you can use it more

Mags - some are crap for some guns and brilliant in others eg: some G&G mid caps can be like this

Some mags are just crap in nigh on most guns - worn spring in old high cap mags that feed say less than a dozen before needing to wound like hell

There is the tape in magwell mod - some guns like 416's and some other makes can be picky and need a bit of help

Feeding issues - loads of variables, easiest solution all round is to find some decent mags that work and feed ok and stick with them

if you got feeding issues after trying a few different mags n stuff then that would indicate something out of whack or worn

which is unlikely in a newish gun atm....

Alas some mags that may not feed great - well assign them to your L85 I guess

Not uncommon to have mags for some M4's and some others that certain other guns really need to use

poxy bloody toy guns

I found most high caps fit and fees alright and dytac hexmags for midcaps.

All variants of pmags fit but don't feed all that well, even though they work fine in my l86.

After that, nothing else works with my predator lol and believe me I have tried maybe 15 different styles of midcap mags in the gun, everything from g&g through classic army etc.

Personally i would just open the damned thing and cut maybe 1 coil off the spring to bring it down, its a sure fire way to reduce your FPS rather than experimenting with other methods.

When i bought my G&G TR4-18 (HK 416) from Land Warrior it was way too hot at 370FPS, i opened it and cut about 3 to 4 coils off, and whilst the gearbox was open regreased, shimmed and removed G&Gs crap MOSFET for a better one. 416 now fires a solid 345FPS on .20g bbs (310 on .25g bbs) at a rate of 22RPS.

If you screw up and cut too much off you can always get a better spring, they are quite cheap in the grand scheme of Airsoft, M100 is meant to be around 335FPS but we know that is never the case, i fitted an M100 in my TM P90 and that registered 400FPS so fitted a M90 spring and it was still hot at 360FPS so had to cut 1 or 2 coils to bring down to legal limits.
