You need to lower it to 350.the only way to safely lower your fps is to change out the spring which you would have to order one and pay someone to install the new spring. This process will take a few weeks. Then you need to break in that spring so it will shoot 350. Your better of renting a gin down there.

Install an M100 (or equivalent power) spring. Look on any major airsoft retailer's website, and I will guarantee you that they sell springs of varying strength. Just look for one that says it'll be under 350 FPS and you're good to go. I don't know if Kzoo has its own store, but if they do just ask them if they stock M100 springs; they should know what you're talking about. There might even be somebody who could do the installation for you, for the right price of course.

Ok...I'm going to try to explain this without being too confusing...
First of all, FPS has very little, if anything to do with accuracy. Your accuracy is mainly affected by your inner barrel, hop up, bucking, and compression consistency.
Lowering your FPS will technically decrease your total range, but what you want to worry about is effective range. It doesn't matter if your gun can chuck a BB 500 feet if it's not accurate at all. So you want to think about the accuracy components that I mentioned earlier if you're concerned about range. Also, from what I've seen of the Kzoo airhouse (in videos and whatnot), 350 FPS should give you plenty of range for that field.
Lastly, before you post again I'd recommend fixing your grammar (i.e. capitalize those I's and letters at the beginning of sentences). It may seem silly, but on this forum we take it somewhat seriously. I can see that you're new, but make sure to read the forum rules so you don't get in trouble with the mods of MIA.
If you have more specific questions then the experienced people on this site can help you more than me, but try googling some stuff and see what you find. You can find tons of information on the internet without having to ask questions on forums (many of which have been asked before). So good luck and welcome to the forum.

I didn't know grammar was big on this forum. My bad. But yes, I understand what you're saying. I didn't know fps has little effect on accuracy but now that I know Ill work more on upgrading the listed internals. Thank you for your help. I made this specific thread for my specific gun, Hoping someone who also has upgraded this gun could recommend parts and such. I have seen some forums regarding the basics of this thread but I was going more for the finer details of the specific rifle, But your suggestion doses not go unheard good sir. Thank you.

They are compatible, just be aware that tightbores can generally increase fps by ~5-10. With that being the case, if your spring brings you to 350 you may settle in higher than that with the tightbore.

So maybe go lower then 350? The tight-bore and bucking would more then make up for the loss of fps in accuracy, so its a reasonable sacrifice to keep me under 360fps. In my uneducated opinion, haha. I'd rather be accurate and lower then 350fps than inaccurate and at 350fps.

Don't go 6.01. You will get more Jams and there is little difference between the consistency of a 6.01 and a 6.03. Also, if you are looking for range, invest in a Flat Hop bucking and nub. That increases range and accuracy dramatically, and is the next best thing to R-Hop, and easier to install, I think it is a superior mod due to that fact. Few people tend to utilize that though.

Can I get a link to those parts? Are they even compatible with the JG G36c?

I'd just like to add, in addition to everything Snarf said, a G36C doesn't have much range to begin with, it has a very small barrel making it very inaccurate for anything outside close quarters engagement anyway, so even in addition to whats already been said, you have no real reason to worry about loosing range because you don't have much to start with.

That could hardly be less true. Are you really trying to tell HIM how far his gun shoots when you presumably haven't seen it yourself? It has been said time and again that range and accuracy little or no correlation with barrel length. Some of the most accurate guns I've seen had barrels of 10.5" or less, in fact my 416 has a stock mp5 length barrel and it is getting at least 150' of accurate range at about 360 fps. Hop up consistency and overall air seal are number one in my book when it comes to making a gun accurate, followed by a high quality barrel with a consistant bore in terms of roundness, diameter, and surface finish.
