Sorry bud, I guess there's nothing you can do while you're there?

Do they not have a tech that can sort it or a hire gun?

G&P 15 FPS over? I had that problem when I first got my M16, one of the marshals on site drilled a tiny hole in the side of the nozzle, to give it an air leak, reduced the FPS by ~15 so I was able to play.

Gun was shooting 360, FPS limit was 345.

leave it compressed adjust hop up badly to try n lose the extra oomph. I got refused coz I was 5fps over but had spare

Most sites won't allow you to adjust the hop to bring FPS down. They'll check the flight path of the BB to see that it's set right.

Dropping FPS via the hop isn't lowering the muzzle energy, that's just the same as using heavier BBs to get round a chrono.

technically it is lowering muzzle energy. You are using the hop to slow the bb down before it reaches the muzzle.

When I was 5fps over the marshall suggested adjust hop but I had just got it sweet & was hoping he might let it go - but at 355 showing on chrono he wouldn't

it is not like using heavier bb's really - what would like to be hit with 355 max 0.20's or 330fps with 0.38's

Good to see sites using chrono like they should AND sticking to their limits displayed on chrono

yeah a bummer when just over but these rules are for everybody's safety in the end

Retailers really need to sort it out. My mate nearly bought an M16 till he requested they chrono it, was around 400 on 0.25s...

JEEEEEEZZZZ wtf was that a m140+ in there or something (450 on .2's) - was it a DMR semi - that is high - UK or GF or TG in poland ?

This was a bricks and mortar shop over here. Told him they were 0.2s but the bottle said 0.25 so :/

Just a bog standard M16A1

Sorry for you mate, unlucky.

Unless I am totally talking out of my ar$e - you can expect up to 10% loss in fps in 3-6 months of use, maybe a little sooner depending on use. This is mainly the spring and some wear on seals etc... Please note I say up to about 10% and depend on quality of spring/seals/build etc... 15fps is say 4% so it might be worth leaving it pre-cocked over weekend.

You could end up replacing with m100 say = 328fps but come say Easter be down near 300 and paid for spring and/or fitting - might be worth a go and see if you can get her to tone down a little perhaps - my own aeg's have dropped a bit too and know even bolt snipers suffer spring drop

Sitting Duck, after adjusting hop to get under chrono, do you the re-adjust it so your shots aren't going sky high?

I guess so but like I said I never bothered and grabbed a spare. The marshal wanted to see 350 or less on chrono not 353 - 355, it was an SRC dragon - like G&G carbine/Raider dust cover don't stay down on cheaper budget guns - other SRC & G&G's do but trying to holding flap down, adjust hop with gloves with rest waiting to go out - couldn't be ar$ed with fumbling about

5 or even 15fps is not exactly what many would call real hot - not even 10% over ffs and fps or muzzle is only a guide. before I get flamed what I mean is my 355 dragon would probably still be outranged by a 300fps TM set up properly

On and btw I'm not sure if he could of brought it 15fps easily on hop without it being very poor flight hence me suggesting maybe leaving it cocked or spring compressed for a while to bring down spring's power/tension a bit more sooner than later. Might save him opening up gearbox or paying for m100-m105 to be fitted as opposed to possible m110 in there atm
