VA MP5 upgrade

the VA just came in today, like an hour ago.
I havent shotten it yet because of the battery, but it will be done charging around 8:30

I just did some testing in my backyard with it
and by god it's amazing
the ROF is really fast
and it will shoot through the bottom of coke cans no problem haha

it was chrono'd at 430, so I will need to buy an M110 spring so i can play in matches

nope, just use heavier bbs

depending on the FPS limits, you might only need to use .25s. (those will put you around 360-380 once your gun settles in)

DO NOT do that...UNLESS the field says 400 fps limit with .25 etc...but do not use a different wieght bb just because the field's limit is to low.

acdcsl8r what do you think the rps is?...With that fps and the echo's stock motor and wiring I'd guess it to be around 13-15 rps...

Great way to hurt people by cheating the system. Great plan

As newb above me said, don't listen to people who say to cheat the chrono by using heavier BBs. That is how people get hurt. Standards are in place based on speed AND weight, and cheating the weight is as bad as cheating the speed.

I meant use the bigger BBs on the field, also like stealth says, it settles at 380

i looked at the rules for the field and i believe the limit is 400fps with .2s
i just dont think i can get it to settle to 380 from 430 before the 29th

also i ran out of bbs so i can only get more next sat

bigger bbs? VAs can only shoot 6mm..........I think you mean heavier.

I didn't think about cheating the system. (If you are referring to a CQB field, absolutely DO NOT use heavier bbs) If it is an outside field that isn't CQB, using heavier bbs probably won't do any harm. (it doesn't make it fair/right though) People can still probably get hurt even if it is outside.

NO, in any circumstance, it is wrong to have a gun that is too hot. Really and truly it is not hard to compress your spring. You can do this without even opening your gun. Just PM if you want to know how. Compressing your spring can bring your gun down to as low fps as you want it. Don't cheat, ever. It is wrong, it can end with someone getting hurt, and it makes you less of a player.

I know you can use full auto and get it so that the spring is compressed, then just leave it for a while
