Any more FPS would result in only marginal range increase and would sacrifice in the other areas..
i use gas so there is no gearbox, and also i dont play on an "official" field, i play with 10-25 friends but i will probably use .36 od's because i love the stealth role and i usually find my self engaging a target at 50-150 feet and my mp5 an barley shoot 75 feet so i am selling it and getting the 10/22. i used an fps calculator to calculate what 450 fps with a .2 would be with a .36 (link for calculator here: http://www.mediafire.com/?q3ttuomu9ev9yoa ) and the result was 337 fps, but i know that the higher the gram in a gas gun, the more joules. does anyone know how to factor in that so i can find out the true fps?
