MichaelStone Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 So I purchased my first Rifle this week, A Area Amoeba Honey Badger that is advertised to have 300fps. Now all looks well, but there was a little tag on the rifle with the Chronograph readings for the rifle. Which apparently came back at 1.39 Joules which is 387FPS (ish). Which is over the legal limit (I think). I've Emailed the company I bought it from asking for answers just waiting for a reply. Now some of you are going to suggest to Chrono it, but I don't own one and don't know anyone with one, and I don't particularly want to spend on a day for airsoft to find out I can't actually use my gear. Any suggest on somewhere within London I can take it to get downgraded if needed? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyj Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 your best bet is going to a site but lucky for you these guns come with a quick spring change system ( look on youtube ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuff Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I'm sure someone near you could sort out use of a chrono,put up a request in the wanted or general areas.... Can't you send it back if it's not right.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted March 21, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 21, 2018 Pro Airsoft or other places will do it damn quickly and re-chrono it is a quick change spring so it is a straight forward simple task you could do it yourself, but you don't have chrono your local club/site could do it also, probably a 10-15 min job, so if it fails chrono you could re-do it & re-chrono just before first game starts You could/should contact send back the gun to retailer but they might have already dropped the spring, then again have you got time to send it back Shouldn't really invalidate the warranty as such, or just don't tell the retailer should issue occur Pi$$es me off though retailers sending out hot or sub 300fps guns to new players (WTF they can't test the gun with 0.20's with hop properly set or roughly set before shipping) 387 is a bit high even if hop is fully fully off, that is like a grey import with a m115 in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Gepard Posted March 21, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 21, 2018 I like your signature @Sitting Duck. It's a shame they don't work on Mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sig seems to work fine for me on android but I'm requesting desktop site Some stuff on my phone with slimmed down mobile pages just doesn't work right Hence I often select " request desktop site " for here and some other sites Can see your signature, my sig if I'm logged in on both laptop and also on my cheapo old android fone. Dunno about IOS but desktop site works for me Posted from crappy non 4G mobile coz my kids get all the good upgrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted March 21, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 21, 2018 Back on laptop, think the sigs & stuff stop getting displayed correctly if you log out/anon browsing But on mobile - request desktop site works better for places like here & many others ( bloody slow to load if old fone is 3G though ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Druid799 Posted March 22, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 22, 2018 Contact the retailer and ask for clarification of what the f**k is going on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted March 22, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 22, 2018 There's every possibility that the tag was put on by the manufacturer and that the retailer has since downgraded it but not removed the tag. Contact them before you do anything to the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakandpotato Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Contact the place you bought it from. As said above, the tag may be utter bullshit. Failing that, find a local site that you can chrono at. Yes, it's a ball ache but I've had to take a trip just to get something chrono'd before (was a 2hr drive i think). If it IS firing hot, contact the store and inform them they've sent you an illegal firearm, and you want a safe replacement sent back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
