It's shooting slower than my mates gun, which is behind chrono. It's fine

Wow, that's some talent you've got there, being able to judge the muzzle energy of an airsoft gun by sound, or feel, or using the Force.  And no, you can't tell from comparing ranges either, given the difference that BB weights and having the hop spot on make.

You're not special, and if you aren't interested in playing by the same rules as everybody else, please find a different hobby.

we shot our balls high up into the air whichever lands on the floor first is less powerful

 
That's nowhere near an accurate way of telling which gun is higher powered. Far too many variables

Cheers, I was just saying to my friend how I thought I may be better off leaving the CM16 alone and keeping it as a backup/spare

The only thing is I actually really like the gun; it's cheap, light, durable.. paint doesn't scratch etc and being the most sold gun everywhere has spares and of course there is aftermarket support for the gun itself and m4 being developed continually (such as the 250 mid cap mag). I'm not afraid to upgrade and tune all the internals, as that's something I will be doing with my main gun regardless 

Still just new so not familiar with all the manufacturers/models... I'll maybe see if there is a better polymer m4 base to start with

G&G  polymer is some of the best you can get.

To be brutally honest... the amount you'd splurge on "upgrades" that a) give little increase in performance (already a very subjective concept) and b) end up fcuking up an otherwise perfectly functioning gun are just not worth it.

Get out to plenty skirms and focus on improving your play, technique or tactics - that will result in much better performance in your game. Its all about the player, not the weapon.

agree and disagree :)  "if it's not broke don't fix it" springs to mind, but adapting something to suit your use/style is never a bad thing if well implemented

Physical adaptations to your play style, yes. Spunking money on chasing performance to the nth degree, no.

Unless you just want to tinker and you enjoy that, in which case more power to you!

That said, if it's your only gun then do the basics and then get out and play more. Save up and buy a speedyboi SSG1 and THEN start tearing into the CM16 (assuming that by that point you still want to be doing the whole Dye mask, SpeedQB thing of course).
