ok the 150 springer it is
who is the arse that brought that gas cylinder up .. what a noob huh
hahahah

[iceman3994]

I have both a Tanaka M40A1 and my trusty VSR and I like them both. But Scooter, as you saw at the training day when the troops get too close on a hot day, it is time to switch to another choice as I did with the M14 and my 1911A1. I got one shot off with the M40 and that was to punch a hole in the heavy brush and got a hit on him to send his troops back towards the killzone.

Thundercactus got this right on in the next post, also if you're wearing a ghillie, everything that involves physical stress get's multiplied by 10.

And for having a reliable sniper platform, the #1 thing is consistency, I don't care how far it shoots or how fast, as long as I know where the next shot is going to go.

Consistency is key, hence i have pulled the element POS spring out of the VSR and put the 150 Promethius back in.
I added the Sorbo pad to the cylinder head as well. heheheh
It makes this soft woosh just before you hear the THWACK as the BB hits the target hahah
i have to re Chrono the Rifle but i assume its still up around the 486 mark..
Has enyone used a Velocity Reducer
have to get this monster under 450 hahaha

Im right there with Ya Ice.
I have a side arm, My M4 for any CQB and VSR long range hello
(oh and My m4 has a 433 603 now Shoots FAR hahahah

Instead of using one of those, just add more sorbo pads untill it's down to 450
Or use heavier ammo, the heavier the better.

Edit: Upon closer inspection of this product, it doesn't look like a very effective way of reducing fps; at the end of the barrel?
I think it would make your gun less accurate, as there is physical pressure applied to the bb as it is exiting the barrel.
It would also be finicky in cold weather when the rubber retracts, and along with that, the hopup is probably less effective too.

[ScooterVauto]

When they Chrono test they will use .2 bbs so to conform i must be under 450 untill certified level 2..
Next.. I'll get certified
but i heard the sorbo pad reduce Chamber volume thus reducing FPS but upto 6%
thats close to 30 FPS in my case (486 FPS)

Ahh, forgot guns get chronod on .20's

Another option is getting a short stroke cylinder, if you don't feel like getting 7 sorbo pads

I noticed about a 15 fps decrease from the cylinder dampeners.

Off topic, but along the coversation.

How do you get certify as a sniper in airsoft?

The higher the number level the higher the FPS your allowed to use. However that being said not all fields Care about B.A Certification and are pegged at 450fps max anyway not to mention veto's where if anyone has an issue with a sniper he is not allowed to be a sniper.

Not too mention who wants to get hit with 500+ fps personaly i dont, even if said person does carry a BA Cert.

All the fields I've been to the limit is 450, never have I seen one that allows use of 500+ guns.

Then gettin a Certification would be a waste of money and time then 8)
