Thanks, and, i have tested and fiddled with the hop up, i'm using .2s. maybe after 40-50 feet, any consistency in the shots is gone. while MP5s are CQB weapons, 40-50 feet does seem a little short if you ask me. id be more than happy with 100-125 ft with decent accuracy.

I've read up on the broxa upgrades, and the general consensus seems to be that changing the hop up rubber will increase performance. I doubt that its the bb weight, since some shots fly straight, true and hard, hitting whatever I'm aiming at, while others (a large percentage, i'm afraid to say) just drop, curve insanely to the side or only fly 10-20 feet in a parabola.
all that with the hop up mostly off, which seems to be the best setting with that particular hop up.

So, what i'm basically asking is advice on whether or not changing the hop up rubber will achieve what i am aiming for. i think you answered that, maybe not...

but your advice is appreciated, thanks a lot

oh, and the prometheus or systema hop up rubbers are available at airsoftparts.ca, right?

P.S, have looked at mechbox.com, but they don't show any upgrades that have to do with the barrel assembly hop up etc, i'm afraid. did watch the disassembly video though but taking it apart doesn't seem to be too hard if i take my time
