Is there any way to lower the fps of an airsoft sniper rifle?

Question

I'd like to lower it so I wouldn't have to worry as much about accidentally killing birds. The rifle I'm planning on getting has 325 fps.

Answer 1

Hi Ray,

There are replacement springs that can be installed. You might want to try contacting airsoft and see what they have to say.

I have a high powered Air Rifle and is fires at 1,200 fps and I am not sure you can get yours much lower than what it is.

I am always very careful about knowing where my impact point will be hitting before I fire.

You sound like a safe considerate marksman and your concern for animals is highly commendable.

Good shooting to you,

Darryl S.

Answer 2

well im not exactly sure but if the rifle has plastic internals it cannot be upgraded.I guess if it has metal internals you could possibly buy a weaker spring...it also depends on the bb's..2's are heavier than .12's yet .2's go slower yet hut harder and are more accurate.

325? sweet, don't worry about killing birds.
