Hi Guys,

I am fairly new to the forum, but I am not new to airsoft. I have been sniping for about 2 years now, and I have never really considered upgrades. I have just become very efficient with my VSR-10 how it is. I would really like to upgrade the fps and accuracy because when I play now I need to worry about more than 2 other snipers. I was just wondering what are good upgrades that I can get, or need to get to achieve 500 or more fps?

Try reading some of the threads here, most people are trying to achieve the same as you, and next time do alittle research before expecting us to spoon feed you what you want to know, it makes for happier mods and tech gurus, because they don't have to constantly repeat the same shite, and the section is tidier for not having constantly repeated threads

I have looked around and haven't been able to come up with anything that tells me straight. But I will keep looking. Thanks

Get all the Laylax internals you can, M170 spring and a nineball hop buck. Laylax makes the best VSR parts.

A bit random, but true none the less, and with the correct internals and asking the right people the right questions, a 150 spring will easily produce over 500 fps

Thanks guys, I will look into them.

This may be a stupid question but which is better a 150 or 170 spring and is there better than that?

M15 is 150 meters/sec, 17 is 170m/s, 190 is 190m/s, etc. There are higher springs than these, however most places limit your gun's FPS to 500fps, so an M150 or M170 may be the highest spring you are allowed to use in a game.

PDI springs are different, they are based off the gun's original spring in % (say 200% is twice as high an FPS) - at least this is my understanding. I don't currently use PDI parts.

to upgrade the gun to full potential, here's a list of my current and planned mods in my TM VSR10:
*zero trigger ($180)
teflon cylinder ($100)
*orange piston (comes w/ zero trigger) ($0/$50 seperate)
*metal spring guide w/ bearings ($30)
*m170 spring ($25)
*firefly bucking (I'd suggest soft, I have the hard one, soft is usually better though) ($22)
*tightbore ($50-120+)
*reenforced piston head ($25)

To get the gun running reliably, those are the best upgrades - at the minimum - to get the gun shooing somewhere in the 500-550fps range....depending on how good your seals are, and how tight the inner barrel is. My gun, without a tightbore, was hitting 525fps with .20s with the above setup.

PDI and any company that uses %s are based off of Joules (energy).

Any company (Systema/Guarder/ect) that uses the M/SP scale is based off of meters/second (velocity).

k thank and malice how do you think a 190 spring would hold up with your setup?

 

[malice4you]

I see no reason that a setup like mine wouldn't hold up to an m190 just fine....just make sure that the zero trigger is installed before you attempt to use an M190....

i like PDI better then latex
