lowering FPS on CO2 pistol
« on: December 08, 2012, 12:14:19 PM »
I'm thinking about getting a co2 pistol for my local airsoft arena (vanguard). For safety reasoning the FPS limit is 330 FPS with .2 gram BBs and sadly this handgun is over that limit. I'm wondering if there is any way to lower the FPS without drilling the barrel ???

Heavier bbs; personal experience shows about a 20fps drop per .5g added. The only problem is that heavier bbs are more expensive.

Running a heavier to beet the crono is a big no go and a good way to not get welcomed back to an AO.

That's called cheating the chrono and it's dangerous and stupid.  There's a reason they specify a BB weight when listing the velocity limit.
