Oh god, lol

my friend hates aegs because 'you have to charge them and they're unrealistic'

[chaseyqurt]

your friend is dumb

[Fargeaux]

is 260 fps decent for a spring-loaded p22 (pistol)?

[Madmitten]

how is airsoft?

No.

[Awasp]

Pistols don't need to have more then 300 fps to be good in my opinion.  Think about it, why would it need 400 fps to shoot farther then most aegs when a pistol is usually never used in engagements closer then 40 feet. Your not going to use a pistol for long range like you would with an aeg or sniper, and besides, most places only allow a 350 fps cap for cqb.

FOR THE FIFTH loving MILLIONTH TIME FPS DOES NOT MEAN EFFECTIVE RANGE, IT MEANS VELOCITY.

But yeah, atleast like 300 fps is good for a pistol, most shoot around 350 stock.

[Evo Chief]

I buy longer barrels to increase range, which FPS is a huge contributor to.

yea like a silencer my friend's gas pistol adds 50 fps with the silencer

[chaseyqurt]

Range depends on a bunch of different variables, including hop up, barrel, spring, and some other stuff. FPS doesn't contribute to range, you could have a 400 fps JG and then compare it to a 350 FPS KWA and the KWA will have better range.

No, I completely take apart the gun, remake a hollow stock, place a stronger spring, change out the motor, and place a new barrel.

I make a whole new gun.

[chaseyqurt]

You're cool, no you don't. Changing some internals doesn't mean you're making a whole new gun.

Feels like a new gun.

[snowleperd]

thats called modification. its sorta not a new gun bu tits stronger/weaker.
