Hi-Capa 5.1 FPS issue
23 October, 2009, 00:08
Well basically i was using Abbey ultra gas in my hi capa, and ended up blowing the o ring off of the piston head and cracking the muzzle. I brought an enhanced muzzle and enhanced piston head and fitted them but im now getting a low FPS around the 200 mark with 134a gas. Before i started using the ultra gas i was using the same gas as i am now and it was shooting a fair bit hotter than it is now. Anyone have an ideas what could be causing the problem ?

Nope, i assumed that it would do the same thing as it did with high pressure and blow the o-ring ?

Re: Hi-Capa 5.1 FPS issue
Ive ran TM hi-capas on green-gas for years, my last one had been running green gas for 5 years and its still going now! theyre fine with it, so something else is a-miss with the pistol for it to have done that. have you checked the blowback unit for any cracks or damage as if its too tight on the o-ring it will try to blow the o-ring to get the gas out!

Re: Hi-Capa 5.1 FPS issue
green gas is stronger than abbey ultra.
it goes (in order of power - low to high)
duster gas (basically compressed air lol)
134a
abbey ultra
green gas (+propane, green gas IS propane)
red gas (hard to get in the UK)
regulated CO2
unregulated CO2

Hmmm, not sure if ill bother then, dont want to break it again. Ill take it apart at the weekend and have a look at the blowback and see if its too tight like you said

Re: Hi-Capa 5.1 FPS issue
the blowback pistonhead should move with very, very little resistance, but enough so that you know its got an air-seal, if it moves without any it wont have a decent airseal and will be dumping all the gas into the blowback unit instead of firing the BB (hence crap FPS) but if its too tight and you throw a higher powered gas in there it will have a good airseal but at the same time a high resistance, this will tehn try to break whatever it can to get the gas out.
