Single shot was not as good a grouping as there's always some drift when doing a standing shot with no magnifying optics.

If I over engaged the hop-up, I was getting BBs going 220 of my paces, which is about 550 feet, but the accuracy was shit and the BBs would be curving up sharply over the last 100+ feet.

M130 was about 125 paces which is about 310 feet, M110 was 105 paces which is about 260 feet and the M90 was 85 paces which is about 210 feet.

M90 chronos 285 fps. M110 chronos 355 fps. M130 chronos 395 fps and M150 chronos 455 fps with .25g Metal Tech BBs.

This is usable numbers on a calm day on level ground. Being with a slight tailwind or being elevated in a tower greatly increases those numbers. I've had M150 shots extend out as far as 250 paces (600+ feet), but single shot accuracy is not there. A burst might do the trick though.
Hah. So if you were running a decently tuned hop, and heavier rounds, you'd be able to effectively engage targets at almost 390 (or +) on burst, or F/A?

Damn, I wonder what an M16 length PTW is capable of.. Unless, ofcourse, that was your M16 length PTW you were talking about..
