There are some nice looking guns on this thread!

But just to add to what Cobra said, on BASR's (the VSR at least), I noticed that my FPS go up significantly the higher I increase my hopup, from about 572 FPS at the lowest setting and 656 at the 3/4 mark.  Interesting to note that my FPS drops down to 627 when I move the hopup to max.

I assume the FPS increases because it holds the BB in place and allows more pressure to build.  However, in my experience, it cuts off at 3/4 hop when the BB is held too tight and air is allowed to leak around it. 

In an AEG I assume that this relationship doesn't work because the air nozzle has to move in and out of the hopup very fast, so consistent and quick loading is probably more important than perfect compression.  Correct me if I am wrong though, as my experience with AEG internals is "Minimal". 

100% correct by my experiences as well. Its interesting that your Delta in FPS was 84 and in my VSR 10 the Delta is 60. I am wondering if there is a relationship between the delta and FPS? For example, does higher muzzle FPS bring about a greater FPS difference between 0 hop-up and maximum ideal hop-up? My rifle chrono's 500 FPS at the muzzle with 0.20g and maximum hop-up. I also think its interesting that your ideal hop-up was at 3/4 if the way. In my rifle, I believe that maximum FPS was obtained at max hop-up...but its been so long since I tested that, that now I think I will go back and do more testing to see if the FPS is greater around 3/4 hop-up.

I have 3 of them.. ROTFLMAO!

Uh oh, XM just raised the ante and took the cake! Sorry bro

I only posted a few of my guns - but I'll leave it at that.. 

[XavierMace]

I just posted my sniper rifles.  I'm at 32 AEG's right now and another dozen GBB's.

0_o OMG!!!!!

I want to be you! thats had to be alot of work and time (maybe you should just open an airsoft store)

That is quite an arsenal and you probably have gear and loadouts falling out of your closet

congrats for being such a boss

[Fish]

Damn Ninja! I thought i was going to be slick willie with my resonse too... lol

Running back to mommy now!

[noobhaxor]

XM, just wondering, shouldn't your OD painted scope be on your OD ASGI R700?  Or do you prefer the Elcan scope more?

Anyways, your guns look awesome!  And I agree with Archer, when are we going to see the "Xavier Mace's Airsoft Arsenal" store?  

[XavierMace]

That's not a red-dot, that's an Elcan.

That scope actually gets moved around a bit.

[MarineSGT]

XM, I would want to date you if you were a girl.  Nice load-out!!!

Good stuff.  What's your fav out of all of them?  I'm having trouble deciding myself just based on looks, but one must stand out...

[Archer]

XM, I would want to date you if you were a girl.  Nice load-out!!!

if he were a girl i would date marry divorce get half of guns  be a happy airsofter

but thats all situational and kinda creepy and whats your favoritre sniper and dmr?

[XavierMace]

XM, I would want to date you if you were a girl.

I wouldn't date you if you were the last man on earth.

but thats all situational and kinda creepy and whats your favoritre sniper and dmr?

If this gets any creepier, I'm breaking out the ban

[SVT Cobra]

Hey XM, what kind of range and accuracy are you getting out of the ICS M16? It would be sweet if you could post a full pic of it!

[Archer]

If this gets any creepier, I'm breaking out the ban

sorry...

ok so anyway are you going to post your AEG collection in the aeg discussion section?

[Fish]

Hey XM, what kind of range and accuracy are you getting out of the ICS M16? It would be sweet if you could post a full pic of it!

That looks almost as sexy as my SR12 - I'd be interested in seeing it too

[XavierMace]

Hey XM, what kind of range and accuracy are you getting out of the ICS M16? It would be sweet if you could post a full pic of it!

I haven't tested it since I put the PDI barrel in it.  The upper needs to be rebuilt once I find a sufficiently silly replacement for the MS190 spring that was in it.

[MetallicaFatCat]

XM I've heard Gaurder makes good high powered springs such as the SP170, but at that point, all high powered springs wear out easily.

[XavierMace]

Yeah, that's what I currently have.  It's not strong enough.

Edit:  For those of you who were asking, there's more pictures of the ICS in my ICS Guide over in AEG discussion.  You can find more pictures of everything else on photos.xaviermace.com

[SVT Cobra]

Errr, actually I think XM's M16 is way better looking. He has more modifications done externally which really sets it apart. Its not like you have the only SR 12 with a scope, bi-pod, and barrel extension 



and in its current state:

[XavierMace]

I don't have any good pictures of the other ones at the moment.

[Excellent]

is "Property of XavierMace" going to be added to the thread title?

unless Booligan is going to be dropping by...

[XavierMace]

LOL, I actually don't run with sniper rifles much.  I just like building them.

[Archer]

LOL, I actually don't run with sniper rifles much.  I just like building them.

whatever floats your boat you pretty damn good at it

[Booligan]

unless Booligan is going to be dropping by...

I'm pretty low on sniper type rifles. I only have my polished race rifle, and my scout rifle, neither of which are really sniper rifles.

[MarineSGT]

XM, this is very nice...wonderful gun!

[noobhaxor]

Hey XM, think you got enough airsoft guns?  Those things look like monsters, and judging by some of your previous work, I bet they perform exceptionally as well. 

I really need to get around to posting my rifle on here....

[MetallicaFatCat]

XM, that first rifle, I just wanted to take the outer barrel to a wall like a baseball bat. Other than that good job.
