I'm looking at buying a G4 but my problem with them is they shoot way to hot, i.e. 410+ FPS and I'm wondering if you can show me which ones shoot less then 410 (or 420 for when the spring loosens)

None of them shoot over 350 fps, asgi's g4 line are g&g combat machines, which all have m100 springs and normally settle at about 320-330. So don't worry when you buy one. They're great guns for the price, and can easily compete with high end guns.

If you do get a gun that chronos hot, the only way to effectively lower the FPS is with a new spring. A PDI 130% is your best bet. They're easy on the gearbox, and should put you right at about 335-340 FPS

So your saying they lie when they say 400+ FPS or 380-400 FPS? I saw chrono of their new eagle and it was like 430 FPS

A lot of retailers inflate their guns' performance numbers to help them sell. G&G guns come with a spring that starts out at about 355 and settles to about 335. If they're putting a stiffer spring in there as a "pre-upgrade" kind of bonus, then you could be looking at 410ish FPS. If not, then you're probably not.

The last 2 Combat Machines I got, ASGI chronoed them at 378 and I later confirmed that at an event. I haven't used them enough to see them settle completely but I would be surprised if they got lower than 350 with the stock spring.

Alright then, I actually have a question about CMs, ASGI says they are 315-330 FPS but you guys say they settle at 335, why would they deflate the numbers?

It could be any number of things. It could be sloppy data collection. They might have used .25s either intentionally or erroneously. The one gun they did chrono might have been shooting low for some reason (bad seal, dirty barrel, etc). Maybe the new guy ran the tests that day and wasn't chronoing properly. The chrono may have been off, too. Or maybe they just lifted the numbers off of some other site because they couldn't be fucked to chrono every model that they carry (understandable). Regardless, most accounts of G&G guns put them right at about 335 once they settle. That's where mine have always chronoed at.
Swampman,
It's not uncommon for different individual guns to vary from the rest of their line by that amount. It's common among pretty much all brands. It's just one of those inconsistencies you get when you buy a toy, no matter how expensive it may be. Your spring might be just a hair stiffer, or your gearbox or hop up might just fit together with an ideal seal. These things happen. If you like having it shoot over 350, then count yourself lucky. I would think, however, that if it started out at 378, then falling into the 350s would be pretty reasonable. G&Gs tend to drop more than most guns when they settle.

My brothers G4 was also chronoed 365 so I'm not sure if it's just swampman.

That's not abnormal for a G&G out of the box. Again, 10 FPS variation from the norm is absolutely normal. Ten FPS is a very small amount, and not worth getting hung up on.

What about the G4 Eagle, it chronoed at 440 FPS and I don't feel that was just a fluke.
