Reducing fps
 

Hey guys so I recently chrono'd my KA m4 at around 350fps with an element m95 spring in it. Is there anyway for me to further reduce the velocity a bit to give me some more slack in cqb?

You are pretty much dead on for most indoor/CQB areas at 350 FPS with .2s. Barring an M90 or shorter barrel you can turn on the hop-up to drop it down more.

Just be aware any good host running a chrony is going to fry you for this trick. This doesnt equal lowering the fps for a game, its a form of cheating. Always chrony for your max velocity with the hop off.

With that said, 350 is a good fps, unless that is with hop on, then maybe cut a couple coils off your spring to lower it down a bit, or reverse it so the tighter coils are inside the piston to drop it a few FPS.

I understand that but he wasn't really above his target FPS by even 5 FPS based on his description so I think it would be harsh to punish him for having the hop up on.

You could always contact the field/game operator ahead of time to okay the setup verbally.

AEGs in general can be fussy about FPS, I have that same M95 spring in my AK and it's almost firing 390 FPS so my gundoc is modifying it to go under 350.

Element springs are not the highest quality, leave your spring fully compressed for a few days and it should drop a little.

Okay thanks guys, so say I wanted to upgrade into a tight bore so I guess if I wanted to do that I'd have to chop off some coils or try reversing the spring?
Thanks for the responses guys well appreciated
