    was on Youtube and some English guy put a velocity reducer on his FN2000 becasue the Fps was 370. it looked like you could change the velocity on your shooter. he said it was made by TM
    any info on such an item.

    Just googled it

    "The VR is an adaptor that threads onto the end of your AEG. Inside of the unit is a membrane with two slots cut into it. If you push on the membrane, the slots allow the membrane to open up. As the BB travels down the inner barrel, the membrane is closed. This causes air pressure to build up IN FRONT of the BB, which is what causes the reduction of velocity. That is how spin is maintained, and the speed is reduced without touching the BB. Once the BB gets close enough, the pressure is too great and the membrane opens, allowing the BB to travel through it. The adaptor comes with four rings. Each ring is a different width. Inside of the device are little arms that push against the membrane. Installing a thick ring keeps those arms furthest away from the membrane, meaning the membrane stays mostly closed, and the velocity is reduced the most. The thinner the rings get, the more the arms push against the membrane and open it. The more the membrane is open before the BB arrives, the less pressure is put on the front of the BB, and the faster the BB is allowed to travel."

    Just so you know adding this to a hot AEG won't make it anymore legal, you would have to downgrade the internals to ensure it is working under 1 Joule.

    They are also very hard to get your hands on. TM don't seem to have made many.

    Hmm, they must have done another production run. They have been difficult to get at some points in the past.
