This leaves you with 2 options:
1. Lower fps aka swap the spring with an m90.
2. Tweak the hop up to make minimal contact so that it isn't making an immense parabola.

#1 is favoured over #2 because it not only prolongs the life of your hop up rubber but also your gearbox (slightly).
#2 is more of a trial and error situation because evidently if you reduce the amount of surface area exposed to the BB you reduce the damage inflicted, but you're still left with a hop up that degrades quicker over time and can result in over hopping.

What is the current FPS rating on the gun w/ .20 grams (if you have them, they are standard) or .25 grams WITHOUT hop-up?
This is a GBBR, .25 bbs and it overhops on the lowest setting. The AGM M4 GBBR has the tendency to hit 450fps stock on a .2, so I am thinking that may be the problem. I am not certain about the fps.
