get out to a game and you will have to use your hop up

that is too weak if you ask me.

I found the sweet spot for my G36 is an M110 (around 370 on .20's) shooting .28's with a tightbore.

Yep, the sweet spot is usually around 360-380 FPS with.20g BB's. Add a Tightbore, and good hop-up and you'll have plenty of range and accuracy. Fps isnt everything, it plays much less of a role than most think

My 340 M16 is the most accurate airsoft gun i've ever seen.... except for the day it got lube on the rubber and my bbs were going everywhere... But still, I've taken out snipers with upgraded rifles from beyond their range. High FPS is helpfull but only for brush penetration. above 370 = bb exits barrel to violently and has shit accuracy(aside from the few very well tuned guns out there). below 300 the bbs are to weak to shoot through anything but may still have insane accuracy.

Just because every noob out there thinks high fps is everything does not make it so.


(edit: the numbers i used are approximates, I've never really invested any time to find out this info for certain but these numbers are the rule i use when upgradeing my guns)

i think it goes without saying that with higher fps, factors like bb weight and gun setup come into play. and just becuse your gun has weak-a$s fps doesn't make it more accurate than mine.

FPS doesn't play much in accuracy.

I had a 520FPS Bolt Action VSR that shot a consistent grouping of 1cm at 40 feet.

yes, that's pretty much the same thing as just going through the exact same hole shot after shot.

No, but it can play alot into range, especially if you have a hop-up that remains stable and a quality, heavy BB that is uniform in size and density.

Too bad you cant shoot someone at 40' with a 520FPS sniper rifle down here Skladfin.

You think I'm not aware of that? I sure as hell can nail a dude at 300' can't I? Never said I was shooting someone at 40. It's the longest indoor range I have to test my gun.

Yes I agree with that. Never said I didn't :P

[Steven]

Oh i know, just was putting some sarcasm into here. Internet sarcasm fails. Have any pictures of it?

it went down to 1cm after I installed a TM hop up unit

Ahh it's not my gun anymore. If you see a guy with call sign RareX rolling through Panther with this gun, do yourself a favour and just run away haha :P

[Twin#1[Op-for]]

Haha will do. What gun do you have now? And are you coming?
