Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Reducing FPS on a SOCOM Gear x Gemtech Oasis

There are 2 options.

1. Use duster gas, (tetraflouroethane only)which will reduce it to 300-308fps on .2's from 398-405fps on propane. (yes I have one and confirmed it)

2. Modify the hammer spring in the take down lever. Our though on this is that a lighter hammer hit on the valve may cut down the amount of gas used. BUT, this is only speculative. You would need to punch the pin to remove the spring then cut it or replace it with a lesser strength spring.

I'm hesitant to cut the spring as on duster it's CQB safe (unless we're playing big boy rules) and on propane, it's outdoor safe.

I have done a review on it in a private bunker but might be able to post it soon.
