Lowering FPS

Deadlock1942Sep 23, 2007 5:50am

I have a CA M15 that was upgraded about a month or two ago, and I just took it to AEX for a chrono, and it shoots a little hot. 410 fps(+/-). The only way I can think of to lower my FPS under 400 is wearing out my spring, or switching it out for a stock one. Anybody got any advise?

Weight for the spring to wear in.

Check out my FS thread! Lots for sale!

Yeah its a 110.

I think you can cut the spring down a little until you get the FPS you want? But I will leave it to some one that knows what they are talking about to answer.

just leave the gun compressed overnight, or until you play again. just tap the trigger so that the gearbox winds up and stops right before the piston releases.

Also, to PTW users, don't think you can get away with a quick change of the ol' cylinder. :wink:
