Airsoft Spring Rifle Joule Creep

It is beyond me why some airsoft Milsim companies still chrono spring rifles with the hop up off. I guess they want hot snipers on the field.
SRS Gen2 with VMP/MouseFART/M170/Lambda6.05/F.A.S.THop/Faceless70dRhop/Faceless101%Bucking/F.O.WNub
Valken .25g BB's with hop off- 1.75Joules
HPA .48g BB's with hop off- 2.1joules
HPA .48g BB's with hop set- 3.1joules
For the record, my SRS will shoot 2.7joules with a .20g bb with the hop set correctly.
My home field has a joule limit at 3.6Joules for snipers. I have multiple springs to bring the joule down for other fields or events.
I corrected my air seal issue and now shoot 3.3Joules on the dot with a .48g BB.
