Well, let's just say after the first 3 shots, temp was the hottest day we had this summer, about 43C with the humidex, they settled down to about 550fps. Duster ran in under 450fps with the same conditions, fps sat between 435 and 445fps. Is why I insist people use duster in hot weather, and pay attention to engagement distances, no closer than 100ft. Propane works well in cooler weather, we played and the M700 was used all day on Nov. 16th, temp went to a high of +10C that day, and the M700 worked just fine (mags kept in pockets) and no one hit complained at all. I used my M24/MP5 all day, let a friend use the M700 (he played on the other team, so we were his targets).

Checking your figures out more now and comparing them to my experiences with the M700, using propane 0.36g BBs fly out to about 150ft (45m) then drop right off. Not enough hop up available to make them fly farther. 0.43g wouldn't go much farther. 0.30 and .29 SGM are ideal for the M700 (sure 0.28g are fine as well, I just haven't used them), but 0.20 and 0.25g are too light to effectively use.
