FPS Q'

[wedge75]

Sorry if in the wrong place please move if needed

my question is that i cronoed my ICS CXP and the Fps was only 221 average
and was wondering could i just put a stronger spring in there too boost the FPS ????
all comment welcome

Re: FPS Q'

a reading of 221 points to there being something wrong with the gun, a stock ICS should be over 300, nearer 320-330. I would look at the air seal around the nozzle and hop-up.

Re: FPS Q'

Yes definitely. It shouldnt be anywhere near 220fps!! Something is majorly wrong!

Re: FPS Q'

Factory fresh ICS guns are set up for the US market and are generally around 360 fps

UK retailers will usually downgrade on import to more site friendly levels, although some don't.

If you have bought this new, then it either skipped through QC somehow, or the retailer messed up the downgrade (or a bit of both)

If you bought it 2nd hand, then contact who you bought it from. I'm trusting your chrono is working/set up right?

Re: FPS Q'

yeah the crono was set up correctly as we have 2 and they were reading roughly the same each time
i brought i new and have a game there on the 7th of may so will take it with me crono it with their crono and complain

Re: FPS Q'

I would take it back earlier mate try and get it sorted for your game

Re: FPS Q'

i have pistols as we have a woodland game in the morning ( MY masada) and CQB in the afternoon so ill have my pistol so it doesnt reallly matter to be quite honest if it misses out on that game

Re: FPS Q'

Well at least contact them ASAP. Then suggest you can take it on the 7th.
That would give them time to sort out taking a replacement for you.

Just a suggestion.

Probably far better to ask them to test it as it is a low reading on the fps rather than immediately complain. People tend to respond better in general to a request for clarification or assistance than someone complaining.

I am sure that the shop will be happy to test it and give it the once over as you are more likely to go back if they get it right for you.

It does seem low to me I have to say and I would most certainly ask for it to be looked at.
