M4 accurate at 200ft????

[cannon]

Hello everyone. Please forgive me for the noobie question, but I'm wondering if you can have an m4 and be accurate at 200 ft, or is that just out of range for that weapon? I have read and seen online where people have decent accuracy at 150 ft, but nothing really impressive and NOTHING past that. Thoughts?

Yes, possible with upgrades and tuning and fiddling and experimenting and a lot of luck thrown in.

I wouldn't go as far as to think many would be consistent, outdoors accuracy good enough for 1-shot hits with any real frequency though.

So what would be a reasonable range with great accuracy for an m4? And when I say "great accuracy" all I really mean is being able to hit a paper plate type of accuracy.

Well it depends, you can make a m4 as accurate as a fully upgraded airsoft sniper rifle.

Some good components for range are:
TBB
Bucking
Good spacer
Fix compression

But when I had my m4 as a DMR (stupid I know), it was accurate to about 175ft effectivley. With better hopup/TBB i couldve hit 200ft. Maybe.

I can hit a person at 200 ft somewhat reliably within 2 shots with my SR-16 (same as an m4 for airsoft). That's assuming either no wind or very light wind.

Air/wind quality will be the biggest factor here. If you have wind... the longer a shot, the more screwed up your consistency will be. Period.

Get good bb's, a good barrel, a good bucking, a new hopup nub/spacer, and make sure your nozzle is an airseal nozzle and you don't have compression problems. Then start bumping up the FPS (with all other necessary upgrades for doing so) until you get the performance you want. Keep trying combinations of piston heads, cylinders, cylinder heads, nozzles, buckings and barrels until you figure out what combo works best for you and your particular gun.

Eventually you might get it to where you want it. Takes time, patience and effort. As well as some cash.
