but the energy of the bb in both cases will be the same
Thats why when you chrono at a game u use .20 grams

To expand on this;
The bb's energy on exiting the barrel will be the same, but at 100 feet, a heavier bb will have lost less energy than a lighter bb.
So heavier bb's travel slower, but with less wasted energy, coupled with hop up: a longer, and straighter flight path.
