Okay so the mainstream accepted knowledge here is that suppressors reduce your AEG's fps.
Somebody want to explain to me the physics behind that? Because it just doesn't make sense to me in the slightest.... Is the air normally denser in the suppressor than it is outside? lol
Like, how do you know your BB just hasn't SLOWED DOWN by 10fps over the 6" length of the suppressor?? It's definitely not accelerating in there since there's no compression...
