FPS/M4s sniper

[Allstarr]

Hi guys

I was wondering i recently just bought a M4s system. I wanted to have 1 sniper and 1 assault rifle, since im goin with a full swat loadout i am goin to buy a G36K

now with my M4S, i will modify it as a sniper, but! i was wondering is there a way i can reduce the fps? let say I tune it up at 400FPS, will a fps reducer bring it done enought so i can play on full auto when i remove my scope and silencer or is there a better way to do this?

:roll: thank's

Muzzle Velocity Reducers work fine.

Just bring the gun up to about 380fps with the upgrades, and it should be fine unless you spray someone up close or for CQB. General maximums for guns with full auto are 400fps.

Follow your team's or field's rules.

More power than that is unwise.

At around 400fps, the velocity reducer will fail at some point. I'v seen one fail recently :wink:

Don't expect to do a lot of real sniping with an AEG at 400fps. Put it at 400fps and stay like this to play normaly. Have an other gun for CQB. Since you mentionned you want a G36K... upgrade one, leave the other internaly stock. I'd upgrade the G36 and leave the M4 stock.

agreed
AEGs dont work great for sniper rifles.
I run my SR16 assault rifle at 400fps and I use it for everything, except for indoor CQB.

The shitty thing is, with most rifles running around at 400fps, and bolt sniper rifles running 450fps, sniper rifles dont have much in terms of range advantage over AEGs.

Dont think of it as auto-rifle and sniper rifle
more like field gun and CQB gun

cool thanks

If you wanted to bring the FPS down, why not buy a weeker $30 spring instead of a reducer. Why have a spring hitting hard enough on your internals to do 400FPS and then reduce it?

[Allstarr]

why reduce it? simply if i wanna play on full auto with my m4s

[Greylocks]

What he's trying to tell you is simple; you can buy a velocity reducer for over $100, or a safer spring for $30 that will do the same thing with less stress on your mechbox.

I'd buy a lower powered spring and save on other expenses.

A velocity reducer sell for about 25$....

I stand corrected on the price, but the logic still stands.

no, it falls on its ass

Many people like to run their guns as close to 400fps as possible. Using a reducer to drop the fps down as little as 10-15fps.
Last night, Running the G36 with the reducer so it was 396-398 consistantly. Its great for different fields with different fps rules.
having a gun that shoots good and hard on the field is great, even better when tossing on a reducer allows you to take it CQB.

[Bordush]

Yea but your missing the point, if you have a spring that shoots like 420 and then you put a reducer on there to get say 398, then you still have a 420 FPS spring putting its stress on the mechbox and internals, wheras you could just buy a "398 FPS" spring in the first place and hence have less stress on the internals while having the same FPS.

If your CQBing then just have it shoot the field gun maximum, or just under, and then use a reducer for CQBing. Why have it too high for a field gun and then use a reducer. Like I said, thats tension on the internals that are useless when you could get the same velocety with less internal stress.

Unless I missunderstood and he wants it too shoot at sniper FPS without reducer and CQB FPS with the reducer? Can a reducer take the FPS from over 400 to under 350?

But then like you said...

Velocity reducer will work, they have different sized rings you use for more or less reduction in FPS so it would bring you down a few FPS or a lot more then that with the color coded rings used in the reducer it will work.



And for the people saying its bad to reduce a gun that shoots 400+ fps to a smaller amount because he wants a dual purpose gun.

Well in my case I will be upgrading my gun soon to 390 fps (ak-47) and at one field I play at the limit is 400 fps and the other I play too a lot at the limit is 330, so wouldent want to ruin the internals by opening the mechbox before every game just to change a spring when I can just use a cheap velocity reducer and do it like that. changing the spring before each game could be very harmfull to the gun's internals. but the velocity reducer might as well be but it saves time.

[Bordush]

Yea your right. Thats one reason why the ICS M4 is so apealing to me. You can change the upper in seconds you can have a gun for 3 different velocety/purposes right there.
