Alright I have a small problem here. I adjusted the hop up and fixed everything internally but when i shoot roughly 50+ yards the bb's start to curve almost every time. I use .25 bb's so I imagine that's not it. Anyone have a solution to this?

50 yards is probably close to the maximum range of your gun, and the BBs tend to act however they want when you get to the end of your range. Remember, hop-up is putting spin on your BBs, so once they start slowing down the spin can make them curve off to one side. Just be happy your BBs are getting out to 150 feet in the first place.  |

I forgot to specify the direction of the curve. And insults are not needed I took physics I know trajectories and such. It goes off to the right* nearly every time. Sorry I didn't specify and thanks for the asshole comment Bigmack, I don't appreciate being insulted.

As if Bigmack cares about other people at all, Newman. In any case, what brand of BB's are you using, Pochey? TM, Excel...? I may have missed it, but what sort of weapon are you firing here? |

I have a g3-sg1 with accurate barrel and .25 TM bbs.

Did you recently lube the barrel or the magazine?

If it's brand new, then all of the old lube (if there was any to begin with) might have dried up. I'd relube it if I were you. Silicon spray/oil works best.

Well, you've got me. Lube will send BB's all over the place, but if it's consistently curving to the right after 50 yards, just look for damage to the barrel and nozzle, I guess. Not sure what else to say.

make sure it's not clipping the front cosmetic barrel.  mine was 'drooping' at a point, and clipping BB's sending them all over the place. no offense intended, Pochey... that was just a joke. you'll know when i insult you. |
