Whatever , I'll see you on a field somewhere, you won't see me, then we'll see how honorable you are when my single (under 400fps measured with a .20 bb calibrated for humidity and rotation of the planet) bb bounces off your chest, play on or call out, we'll see gentlemen.

Lololol "humidity and rotation of the planet"? Lay off the COD4. A mosquito flying into your bb's flight path is more likely to affect your shot than that stuff, you're not going to be taking shots over 100 meters.

BTW, what 35 year old uses the phrase "straight up"? And loses his cool that quickly for that matter. Ah well.

And you should be looking at it from Joules, not ft/s. Ft/s is a dependent variable, whereas Joules is independent in regards to the output capacity of an airsoft gun. Your friend's SCAR shooting 380 on .25's is always going to put forth 1.7~ joules. (Formula here: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=...EA_en&aq=f&oq=)
This means that with .2 gram bb's your friends gun is shooting at about 430 ft/s, which is too hot for most fields. (Step 1: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&rl...00%29%29&meta=, Step 2: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&rl...9+x+3.28&meta=)

That was kind of a repeat of what Crunch posted, but I went to all that trouble so I'm keeping it there

I don't think this Malace guy came back... or at least he's had the common sense not to refute anything written here.

Yeah I was gonna say.. I think everything said after this point is pretty much for our own sake

[kalnaren]

LOL.. I just noticed he's edited out all of his "I'm a 1337 ninja/marine/sniper/tough guy" posts. Guess what people said sunk in.

[Huron]

But he can't delete what's already been quoted

woah I missed this delightful thread, I do hope he comes back to play

ummm a lower fps spring just might do the trick

Well can you really blame anyone.. for having a hate on for snipers.. I mean they are all so "Ghillier than thou" with their big phallic replacment BOLT ACTION guns ... Sneaking around... pretending to be mounds of earth and leaves... ( like that is something to aspire to.. I mean .. I can see wanting to be a tree .. but a mound of leaves... way to underachieve there deadeye )

Anyway... people always hate what they lack the talent to be... its human nature...
