This is a collection of tips and tricks I have found help the consistency of FSR. With the cost of FSR being so much higher than regular paint and the carrying capacity so much smaller every round needs to be as consistent as possible. These are a collection of tips to maximizing the consistency of the FSR.
1. Check for cracks and craters in the rounds. This is the quickest and most effective way to improve your FSR performance. Some deformities in the fins can be fixed by stacking the FSR in a ten round tube with a cotton ball putting pressure on the back of the stack. FSR with cracks can be saved for use in pistols and CQB games.
2. Color the back of the FSR with bright sharpie. This improves visibility of the FSR and allows for easier second shot compensation. As I believe Mr. Skullcandy, Sir suggested an option for night games would be to break open glow sticks and paint the back of your FSR.
3. Sand the front face of the FSR. This will allow for more consistent breakage on target. Use the finest grit sandpaper available as small scratches may cause unstable flight.
4. Stacking the tubes in ten round tubes. This allows the heavy particles of paint to settle to the front of the FSR and increases the stability of the round in flight. As an example of this in practice take a paper air plane and attach a paper clip to the rear of the plane. After throwing it move the paper clip to the nose and throw it again. Notice when more weight is in the front of the plane, the plane's flight is more stable.
5. Not using the FSR Rifled barrel. The barrel requires a operating pressure above the optimum regulator operating pressure of the T9.1. Yes the FSR Rifled barrel is extremely accurate, more so than any other barrel, but it is not as consistent as many other smooth bore barrels IMO.
6. Use HPA instead of CO2. Sorry I realize this is obvious but you know how people can be.
If anyone has any other tricks please post them. Thank you.
