Connieboy Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 HI all, just got my first gun, ICS G33, I've just returned back from a skirmish and would like to improve its range a bit, I was using 0.20g BBs and was thinking 0.28g or 0.30g would be better or are the 0.30g a bit too slow also any other ways to improve range? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted May 8, 2016 Supporters Share Posted May 8, 2016 clean barrel - decent 0.25's move closer or tilt gun upwards slightly if not consider trying a new bucking or ask enemy to move closer so you can hit them and range is not everything - accuracy is more important than an extra 5-10m all over the place ps - 40m maybe 50m is normal for gun out box - how accurate or tight groupings is another matter don't believe all the "my gun hits a can @ 99m everytime" crap some can get 80m+ but they have spent quite a bit of time to slowly gain a little more each time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connieboy Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Thanks, So 0.28/0.30g are a bit too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I run 0.3g in my AEGs, some folk prefer a bit more speed from a BB so harder to dodge, but I like the penetration the 0.3g BBs give through foliage and they also seem to shoot straighter for longer. My AEG is bang on 350fps (with 0.2g BBs) and has an awesome hop which helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I suggest trying different weights and brands. Geoff's BBs are fantastic as are Proballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connieboy Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Mine was 308FPS on 0.20g....I'm going to try 0.28g first I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh95 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I like .30's also, 25 is a happy medium. Make sure you buy high quality ones as well. it makes a big difference. and of course make sure your hop up is set perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I use .28s generally. They seem to work well. Also; it's weight, not size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know given mass production of airsoft guns it is a bit wierd that the hops are not marked "best setting for X weight". Don't ask me what "best" means.

Don't ask me what "best" means. Because it would vary depending on what bucking and nub you have in the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh95 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Because it would vary depending on what bucking and nub you have in the gun. and the US has different FPS limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 tbh it don't really make a difference the fps of a gun, the hop will be mostly consistent no matter the power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
