Basic: Thanks for the update. Gives me hope that my E is actually usable outside of sniper roles.
I haven't chrono'd mine yet, but I'm more than certain that it'll be shooting very hot as well. Aside from the longer (understatement?) barrel, the box had a red stamp on it, indicating 420 fps.
As this is my first foray into airsoft (thus, first gun), your posts have been most helpful. Appreciated.
