I've heard of this modification done before, and then I searched the Internet and found THIS. Does anybody know if this works? I'm using a firefly hop up rubber and I'm wondering if doing this would enhance performance. I just finished doing the same to my hop up, but I don't have a chrony to test it out. I'm not looking for a ridiculous OMGZZZ 1500 FPS, just a few, but obviously the more the better. Has anybody tried this?

I also have one more question regarding the fitment of everything once you put the teflon taped hop up rubber and inner barrel back into the hop up chamber. I can't seem to get the two halves to touch (clamp completely) at the top and I want to know if that's okay. The small gap is not large, perhaps about a millimeter. I have tried to make the gap smaller by stretching just enough tape around the barrel and rubber to make a tight seal, but the gap is still there.

My big concern is that having that gap will affect the gun's performance, or possibly damage something in the long run.

Any help and, or opinions are graciously accepted!
