FPS Question: Looking to buy a CQB P90 and need advice.

[TheAirsoftScot]

Hi guys,

 

 

 

I'm saving up for my first AEG.  Since my local field is an indoor-only CQB field, and because I want to keep my first gun as light and compact as I can, I'm looking at a P90.  I've heard goof things about the Krytak P90, but there's one thing that worries me:

 

 

 

On the Krytak P90 I'm looking at, it says the FPS is "Approx 345/FPS + 10% on 0.20g BBs".  I'm still learning about adjusting the FPS on your gun, but I was wondering if I will be able to tune it to make sure that the gun stays below 350/FPS.  My field is pretty strict about FPS rules.

 

 

 

Would I be okay with the Krytak P90, or do you think I should go for a smaller FPS, like the one on the Tokyo Mauri P90?

As with most Krytac stuff, you're paying a premium for the branding. That's not to say they're not good, however I would personally go for a TM P90+ or even the Novritsch P90 to be honest, £50 cheaper than the Krytac and has a bunch modifications pre-installed. 

 

However, the P90 is a unique replica to handle - I would suggest trying to get hands on with one before taking the plunge

Whether it would be OK is a huge unknown. Some retailers swap out springs (and leave the original in the box) to keep them well below site and legal limits. With those that don't, the +10% variance out of the box puts you far too close for comfort in terms of failing a chrono test.

 

The Krytac P90 has a quick-change spring so you can drop in a lower power spring easily. You won't need to remove the gearbox from the gun, let alone open its casing up. Just bear in mind that M*** springs are not completely standardised so you will see variance in muzzle energy between the M100 springs from different manufacturers. On top of that, the compression and air seal within the cylinder will have a big effect so working out the right spring isn't an exact science. M100, M95 or M90 springs may be suitable.

 

Whichever spring you use, I would leave in some head room to account for very small differences between chrono test readings - it's all too easy to chase a limit then find yourself over it when you come to the chrono ahead of a game.

 

The Krytac model is largely proprietary so if something mechanical or electrical goes wrong, you'll either be locked into Krytac's ecosystem with spare parts or you'll need some expensive tech work to get it back up and running.

 

I would also suggest saving up for a chrono for peace of mind so you can go to a game with something you have a good idea will pass.

Krytac P90 is awesome (I have one) but it's way too expensive for a first gat. P90 isn't gonna be ergonomic for everyone just keep it in mind.

As above mentioned either Novri or Marui P90+ if you really keen on that platform.
