Not exactly hot-swappable uppers since the Hurricane bodies come apart differently than the likes of CA/G&P/KA/etc...

V2's suck...high speed/power V2's suck more...high speed/power V2's in a hurricane body suck most.
pictures!!!!

and yeah I sorta agree on the V2's ... but I'm not running a hot and/or fast setup ... 380-390 .. propably in the 1350rpm area (large 9.6 .. that;s what the giant PEQ is for LOL, gonna see about moving it to the box mag)

basically changing the whole attitude of the gun with the upper swap, via the fit of the upper, and the hop/barrel combo and BB choice..

the belt upper has some POS cheapo 1 peice metal hop up that wiggles and bounces .. a element 6.04 509 (just to reach the end.. and well I had one sitting around) .. half decent bucking .. stock style nubby.... running madbull precision .25's ... aiming for a 5ish ft pattern @ 180ft

the carbine upper .. I haven't decided on the hop chamber yet (madbull, prom, or that new modify) .. running a prom 6.03 363, guarder clear with the nub removed and shredder .. running Bastard .3's ... and everything I can do to keep the hop unit and barrel immobile ... aiming for ability to headshot @ 200ft (LOL) but will be satisfied with torso @ 180

I've built some really hot, and fairly high ROF guns... and never really saw an advantage other then the headache of getting everything to run smooth and reliably
