Whats your FPS and your distance in Feet?

Yes fps and range are completely different. The tm recoils only shoot 280-290 fps however it will out range neat all stock guns (correct if I am wrong)

Not my rifle but a guy on the airsoft sniper forum has a heavily customised rifle firing 450ft or 120m! I cant link right now but look for gunner79 mantis project by "Careful" on that forum. Its incredible how far they are pushing bbs out to.PS fps i have learnt is not the answer to distance! It gets very scientific but very interesting!

It's firing about 600FPS on .20 and using .66g ceramic ball bearings hopup is a modified R-hop like design that's much shorter than the usual contact patch . It's an interesting build,here's a demo video:


Here's the thread. Careful really knows his stuff,he's been building custom VSRs for 10 years or so now.

^thanks for the link. I could have sworn he was using field acceptable fps, wanna say 550 in the states? Bb weight isnt an issue and neither is the ceramic. He mentions this in another thread!

 
^flippin miles either way. Can you imagine the look on someones face when they realise they got him from 130 metres!

 
I read through the forums and said something about 190m being acheived. That is madness and better than most air rifles. how much more do .66 hurt as well? and working it out as he said he bought 12,000 from an industrial firm that makes them better than bbbasterd or whatever. Anyway hes selling them for $0.25 each and working it out he said for his bulk order he is making a few cents off of each one. I reckon he bought them for $0.20 so he spent $2400 on them....

 
Realistically your not going to notice a much greater sting i wouldnt imagine given med etc.

I also wouldnt mind betting he paid no more that 10-15cents each for them, which whilst still alot he will make that back, there is a lot of love for him on that forum so i dont think they will be available for long.
