I feel as though the internals are all alright as of now, but I would like to upgrade my hop-up unit/rubber and inner barrel for increased distance and accuracy.

From my research, I can't seem to understand which type of rubber (soft/hard) would be good for a mid-range FPS (Not CQB, but not a Sniper Rifle either) and which brand to go with. I hear the Clear Guarder ones are pretty good, but I get mixed results in comparison with some other ones like the prometheous ones.

Also, since I am just running it as more of an assault rifle rather than a marksman rifle so, from my research, the inner-barrel should be a bit less tight than a marksman rifle would be for decreased chances of jamming or something. Can anyone suggest a good barrel/diameter that would be suitable?

Lastly, who makes a decent hop-up UNIT, or is the G&G one alright to just toss a new rubber into?

Thanks for the halp!
The G&G hopup unit is pretty decent. The real action is in your chamber where the bucking, inner barrel, and nozzle interact. If you can get your hopup sealed up against the gearbox and ensure your bucking makes a very good seal around the inner barrel, your G&G unit should be just fine. On our team we have passed around a G&G unit as a temporary replacement between a few guns and it performed quite well.
