Okay so after attending my first Rec Game Yesterday I found out that my newly purchased G36KV is shooting too hot, around the 420 FPS range, The good news is it has a quick change spring system I just need to know, what spring could I get that would put me just under the 400-410 FPS limit? Also any tips for removing the standard plastic flash hider from the KV, it seems to prove to be rather difficult. Thanks guys.

An M120 spring SHOULD put you in range, but M110 will. Your barrel diameter will matter. If its a stock (6.08 or something) you'll probably be OK, but if you have a tightbore, it will raise it. Chances are M120 will be OK, especially after you break it in. If you want to be absolutely safe, go M110.
As for removing the flash hider, I would say try the standard boiling water and a wrench. If there is a pin holding it in, remove the pin. Hope you had as much fun as I did yesterday!

Ohh I had lots of fun man, by the way since I am only the second owner of this gun and the first never used it is it possible that if I break in the gun the FPS will drop enough for me to be able to use?

Some springs never "Break in." At least not in a reasonable time period. Especially from the higher end clones. A M110 spring is right about where you want to be. An M120 with any upgrades will put you around 420+ (Pending the upgrades/Airseal.)

and about what FPS would a M110 spring put me at? Also is there any way to know what spring is in it? or do they not have any markings?

Springs generally don't have any markings. Most of the higher end guns are a 120 of sorts. A 110 should put you around 380-400 pending on the upgrades/air seal.

Not really. The most expensive one runs for 13 dollars. The least like 9. It doesn't make a huge difference on brand. I would go madbull just because I trust them the most.

The M110 should put you in the right FPS range, since the M100 dropped mine low enough for CQB. As for the tip it is simply glued on. I used nail polish remover carefully dripped into the threads and let it sit for a while. Then the tip just screwed right off.

I used that on a KWA slide before, and it also took the black paint off.

Well, at it's core it is Acetone... a Paint stripper...

Yeah, you have to be careful I did lose a slight bit of paint at the edge of the threading. Nothing that I couldn't fix with a can of spray paint however.

I guess I should have been more specific. It removed the black paint on the slide, as I expected it would. I was just throwing that out there, in case the OP didn't think of that.

Thanks for all the help guys, I will definitely carefully try the nail polish remover when I get home.

You could try leaving the spring compressed, but if you don't have a chrono it makes the guessing game that much harder. It also takes a little bit of know-how to get the spring compressed with a partial trigger pull with motor movement. If you don't care about the spring and are expecting to buy another one anyway this might be one thing to try. Another problem with that may be that your spring will naturally lose some potential on top of what you remove through compression and put you lower than expected.
For flash hiders I always loosen the glue with boiling water and twist with a towel. If it's particularly tough jam a screwdriver in there and apply torque. Make sure you're applying force in the right direction. Some G36 flash hiders have an internal locking bar twisted around the base as well, but that's for the G36 full model, neither of my G36k flash hiders had that locking bar.
