ICS L85A2 spring tension adjustment

[KoolAidMan]

I just got this gun today nib tested previously was told it shot 440 with .20 bbs it was on the hardest settin i adjusted it to the low speed setting how muc of a fps drop would this give me i'm aiming for 350 any one with expeirence with these guns know

[KND]

The lowest setting should give you around 390 to 400 fps since I already try them. It varies around 20 to 25 fps each setting, I could be wrong about it since my memory doesn't seem to be good nowsady.

Why don't just simply swap a M100 spring from Modify, the you can adjust from indoor to outdoor game. Hope it help.

i have a game friday the fps is probly wrong or th springs fresh and needs to settle i wont have time to pick a new one up by then so looks like im close to the right fps no chrono means i qwont know till then what fps does t m100 give

[m102404]

350's the field max (those are your own rules aren't they?!?!)...stick a M90/S90 spring in there...you'll probably be at 300-330fps which is plenty for CQB. You should still check with a good chrono though.

Heading to a game with a hot gun is stupid...hosting a game, bringing a hot gun and not having a chrono available is somewhat retarded.

If you don't have time to be safe...then don't bring the gun.

If it's too hot I won't play it.

Headless is bringing his chrono so i'll be testing it before to check or else i'll use the back up ak, from what i call tell from tests at 20-30 feet its not puncturing the cans compared to the hottest setting seems to be performing in a similar fps range as the ump i had and that thing was shooting around 300-310 with .2 bbs .

I'm certain its not shooting over 350 i was hit with it at under 50 feet didn't leave a welt or mark

The only way you can tell FPS is by Chrono. "feeling" or seeing if it leaves a welt is not a way to measure the energy delivered. Get it chronied properly.

Guys, He already said he wouldn't use it if it chronied over the limit, He has a back up ready if it does so it's no big deal.

[KoolAidMan]

Besides i can always pick up a spring tomorow for emergency purposes it takes a whole 2 minutes to swap it on this gun, wan't this gun shooting 340 for indoors and 380 for outdoors which spring would get me in those range I have 3 settings with a 20-25 fps deviations low medium and high .

[Mitchell12]

The deviation won't be the same on each spring I doubt. It's very hard to predict.

[KoolAidMan]

yeah Without chrono i won't be able to test .

right now i can say at point blank it goes through bot side of the can. doesn't go throught the top or bottom.

the bottom it only cracks it open but doesn't go throught .

Ump gave me similar results except it didn't crack the bottom of the can thought the dent was similar ump also shot 310 .

I don't know what to make of this

Found a review saying that the high setting gave around 410 the midlle 365 and low was 330 since its the same gun should have similar results

Didn't mean to be overly harsh before....grumpy I guess.

Anyways...by the time you muck about guessing with different springs on different guns and then waiting to chrony it on game day...AND since you're hosting games...a $100 spent on a small battery operated chrony really quickly pays for itself in time savings, convenience and peace of mind.

It's amazing that guys will spend lots of money cycling through guns, upgrades, gear/kit...and yet not spend money on something that can be used forever no matter what gun(s) they have.

On that note, anyone recommend a good chrony? Been meaning to get one for exactly the same reason as Tys mentioned.

[m102404]

I don't know about the new Magbull V2 (rechargeable) but the "old" blue one works just fine. Runs off a 9v and seems to last a long, long time.

Chronoed perfectly came in at 330 with .2s this is on the low setting .

i won't be changing the spring anytime soon : )

I use the same one. Works good. The only problem is if you get shreds of BB inside, you have to clean it out or it starts acting wonky because the shreds of BB screw up the sensors.
