How can I get more power out of an Airsoft gun?

Question

I am looking at buying a crossman pulse R-7-3 from my friend,but only if i can get a good spring upgrade (the gun only shoots 230 FPS). Can anyone tell me were I can find a better spring or another upgrade to fit that model?

Also I heard that putting washers behind the spring adds more power. Does that work?

Answer 1

?????? why would you want a gun that shoots air ?????? lolz jk stick it in your mouth and tell me that doesn't hurt! Why do you need one with more power anyway? Get a bean bag gun!

Answer 2

Dont know what washers are but if you take the spring out and stretch it again that tends to make it more powerful.

Answer 3

actually, just add on more to the spring. or, less time consuming and in the end cheaper, buy a new gun.  

btw, do NOT buy a piece of c**p gun first off by a decent gun first before you go through eight guns untill you get one you like.

Answer 4

Yes Washers Do Help. I Make My Own Springs

Answer 5

LISTEN TO ME. If you are buying an airsoft AEG, Don't buy a crossman. you can get a gun that is ten times better from Airsoft GI for a similar price. Look into Echo 1's or Classic Army Sportlines, and you will be MUCH happier. Besides, if you get a strong spring for a stock gun, you risk burning out the motor, breaking the gears, breaking the piston, frying the battery, breaking your bushings, and if you upgrade the spring, you have to use higher quality bbs as well. PLEASE don't waste your money on your friends crossman. If you want a good airsoft gun, get an Echo 1 or something along those lines. Airsoft GI sells springs, too. they also have a brilliant site for upgrading parts, like gears and motors, etc.

ouch

Answer 7

upgrade the spring, which may need an upgrade from plastic gears to metal gears, or from cheap metal to a stronger metal so that the strong spring tension does not break the plastic gears. also get a tightbore barrel, it will increase fps by about 25, and greatly increase accuracy. check out an airsoft forum and ask those guys there, you'll get a lot more help from there.

Answer 8

just bye a bigger spring at a hardware store and then take it apart and put the new spring in it

Answer 9

There are charts that will help you update your gun.

Answer 10

YOU CAN'T UPGRADE THAT POS. DONT EVEN WASTE YOUR MONEY. GO TO AIRSOFTGI.COM and get a GOOD gun.

The only thing you could do worse than buying that is looking down the barrel of it with the trigger depressed.

That gun is made of cheap plastic, indise and out, and I will explode if you put any GOOD spring in it, or even try to take it apart.

Answer 11

i cant answer this question because i have no clue what your talkin about..lol

try to google it

Answer 12

well just to say it might be less touble to buy a cheap gun from online but the spring is one way also if you change the O

ring in the cylinder of the gear box this can dramatically improve FPS the tighter the seal inside the piston the more air pressure in the barrel

Answer 13

I recommend that u don't buy that gun. It'll break on the 4th day u use it, plus those guns aren't powerful. I bought that gun and the stock broke off and the shooting clip just snapped. U should buy a pistol powered by a CO2 canister. Those things r powerful. If u don't want a pistol then u should get a Uzi fully automatic. Heres a picture.

I wouldn't buy that PoS, but a 120 should make it hit hard until it breaks
