If you get shots going between 200-350 however, that is a significant difference that should be looked into because your shots are now going from 100 meters to anywhere about 50 meters.
This is the case where compression is starting to fail either because of a failing seal, broken part, etc. People generally don't open stock parts unless they're experienced or they run it until something breaks.
I've had people's ARES guns loose compression (you can hear it no bb's shoot but it feeds) after 100 shots.
But in general, it depends on how bad the deviance is in fps to really say how much it affects consistency. And that's just the FPS. The hop up plays a major part once you have good air seal still.

That's the info I needed! Thanks!
