    Right My King Arms FAL when I got it was measuring around
    315-325fps.

    Took it skirmishing today. Before I skirmished with it
    I took from chrono readings which were hay-wire.
    I got 317, then 175, then 280, then 215, then 320 then 170.

    I adjusted the hop up all the way up, off, and half way and
    was getting weird results still.

    Once I started skirmishing I noticed that the BB's were not even reaching half the distance that they used to reach.

    The Mag (hi-cap) kept jamming too for some reason and sometimes I would get 10 rounds off then, nothing then another few rounds off, then nothing.

    a few times it
    just went dead too. would not fire at all, no sound from motor, took off magazine, switched it a few times from semi to auto and back to safe and it started fireing again.

    Anyone know what could be wrong.?

    Hmm, I'd guess the air nozzle or tappet is borked, or hop rubber has moved.

    Gearbox might be damaged. How long have you had the gun???

    Like a lot of my guns, its never been used in a Skirmish
    before. Most of my stuff has only ever had a few mags
    gone through them due to being a collector and not a player.

    I do know it was working 2-3 weeks ago and was sitting
    in the wardrobe at home ever since.
