I purchased my first AEG during the summer months, and now that the season is moving into winter, I need to look for a way to cut the FPS on it.

It's a G&P M4, and (after having an improved hopup installed) is shooting at just under 400 FPS. I see two options:

A.) Spring change
B.) Velocity reducer

I'm not sure which way to lean on this one, as I can think of pros and cons for each. The only reason I'm considering a velocity reducer is that I'm still very green as far as dissassembly goes, but I don't exactly want to be running to someone every time I need a spring changed.

Just thought I'd throw the question out there and gather some opinions.
