i recently Got a hammerhead proteus for free and was wondering how to increase range and power, yes i need to get bigger bands but what set up do you recommend 2 9/16 or 2 5/8 bands? its a 75cm and im not planning to buy a new gun.
:D:D:D
 
Hey there

I am sorry to tell you in order to get more range you need to buy bigger gun because if you will get bigger size bands for the same gun you will end up with an inaccurate gun due to overpowering the shaft

All best

Long range = longer shaft and bigger bands for the extra weight and distance. Shorter shaft with larger bands = stronger hitting power at closer range.
