Burty99 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Hi all, Relatively new to the hobby, I picked up a G&G armament GC intermediate a few months back. It shoots just fine but I know it can do better… I have had a good scan over these forums and noted that if you want to increase distance etc it’s usually the spring and hop up etc, is that the case? If so would anyone know which exact ones to go for? Or point me to a site/supplier that could help, I’m more than happy to tinker around with the gun myself but just didn’t want to order the wrong part and screw my internals up… Thanks all Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez_Armstrong Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Spring no, leave the Fps alone Get a decent hop rubber 👍 Burty99 and JinxDuh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxDuh Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 As Jez said, start with the hop. Try a maple leaf macaron 50/60 degree, paired with an omega nub. Cheap and cheerful but makes a big improvement in most replicas. Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted August 29 Supporters Share Posted August 29 And the oft forgotten part of the hop upgrading- run good quality heavier ammo (as heavy as you can stomach come ammo buying time) Bestest gnu on the planet will shoot like crap of your feeding it shitty lightweight ammo Cannonfodder and JinxDuh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I wouldn't bother with changing the spring as higher fps doesn't equal better range. If you are going to swap anything then it should be the hop rubber and nub, the ones mentioned above are a good choice. As for where to buy from @ak2m4 is a good place. Having posted that @Adolf Hamster makes a very good point. Give heavier bbs a try as you might find you don't need to change any parts ak2m4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvatron Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I changed the hop unit (Prometheus rotary) and bucking (Maple Leaf Macaron 50 & bucking) in my CM16 Predator and my range has been improved. I use 0.28g or 0.32g BBs outdoors as 0.25g or 0.2g are too easily affected by crosswinds so the range especially sucks with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that the majority of that improvement has come from the rubber. The hop unit in the Combat machines isn't actually that bad. ak2m4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I was thinking of the newer ones with the rotary hop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
