Things to Know When You Switch to Heavier Airsoft BB

I learned a few things when I moved from 0.2g BB's to 0.25g BB's. So I will share what I learned in this thread.

1. Due to the higher mass, the same hop-up setting causes the heavier BB to drop earlier than lighter BB. That means you'll have to adjust the hop-up to hit the same spot at long distances. If you have a red dot that is already sighted-in, you can just adjust the hop-up so that the heavier BB hits the red dot again.

2. Due to the higher hop-up setting necessary for the heavier BB, the FPS will actually be slower. What does that mean? Let's take a real world example. I have built my VSS to shoot 400 FPS @ 0.2g. That means it should shoot at 357.77 FPS @ 0.25g, right? Wrong. It actually shoot at 333 FPS @ 0.25g (372.31 FPS @ 0.2g), because the hop-up has been adjusted upward to compensate.

What else should we know? Share with us.
