Hey all,

Just picked up a new-ish Real Sword SVD, and it's not performing great. I thought maybe it was just nervous, but, I lit some candles and whispered encouragement to it to no avail.

BBs are dropping off at an obscenely short range, barely hitting the 100ft mark. I've never had one of these guns before, but, considering my G&G AK will hit 200ft targets easily, it seems pretty weird. Gun seems to be cycling okay, and I've tried a couple batteries, so... What's next? I don't have a lot of experience with issues like this, so I'm not sure where to start diagnosing.

Could it need a new hop-up? I theorized that maybe air is escaping somewhere in the system, resulting in less pressure out the barrel, but, that could be made up nonsense.

Suggestions are appreciated!
