Fps limits

[sidehillgouger]

I was wondering how strict the AirHouse is with choreographing. My gun with stock parts, shoots bb's at a velocity of 360-375 fps which is information I have found from a YouTube video, where the gun's feet per second was calculated using a chronograph. I was wondering if 360-375 fps will be "Okayed" by the officials.

That's way too hot for the Airhouse. So until you get your replica modified to shoot no more than 350 fps you'll be unable to use it in the facility.

Also that is with .20g, not .25g as well. So to back what Ratchet has said , you need to get your guns FPS toned down to 350FPS or below. You can do that buy getting a lower spring change.

What if your gun shoots like 355?

Still too fast. I usually have my guns shooting around 300fps. That is all you need at the air house.

I would say that is still too hot however Im not sure if there is a limit for going over. Is that with a .20 or .25

[gost]

that is with .20 should I get a spring change? and if so is that something I can do at the air house?

I think people need to get away from the idea that an fps limit is a target to try to get to and start looking at it as a stone wall that you don't get past. Gunny has the right mindset, in my opinion (although I admit everyone of my guns shoots hotter than the 300 fps his do).

Shift I like that way of thinking right there.

My brothers gun was shooting close to 400 FPS but they let him but .25 bbs and then he was shooting around 150 FPS. Just use > .20 and you can play, you should ask when you get there though.

[Chubbs]

I usually have my AEG's shooting between 300-315 FPS for cqb an all of my gbb's shoot consistently at 325-330 FPS.
Overall I don't think any Airsoft replica should shoot over 450 fps even for MILsim. It just seems people now a days are just abusing there springs to see how much pain they can inflict on an opponent.

Ummm you sure about that? By making a switch from .20 to .25 reduces the fps by only 10-20 fps not 250....

[Doc]

I was thinking that same thing. Im sorry if you are shooting around 400FPS with .20 and then you drop .25's in there you are down to around 380 FPS.

This is why I have an AEG for the Airhouse and one for outdoor. My airhouse is right at 350FPS, outdoor is at 380FPS.

SPEED LIMITS: All replica airsoft guns will be chronoed (the measuring of feet per second (velocity) a BBs can travel, prior to all events on the Game Field. While on the field, only AEGs (Automatic Electric Guns) chronoing 350fps or lower with .20g bbs shall be used. Any replica that has a chrono reading over 350fps is considered “hot”. Only .20g BBs will be used for chronoing purpose; however, heavier gram plastic BBs may be used during games. AT NO TIME SHALL SPEED REDUCERS BE ALLOWED to decrease any gun’s fps to fall under fps limits. After guns are chronoed and tagged, do not change out springs, gearbox, nor perform any other modification to make your gun hot. All Refs/Admins and field management have the right to perform random chrono checks on any airsoft gun on location.


This is straight from the rule set off of the website

Please read the rules.

I know that but when I talked to loony he said if it made it under 350 with any bb you could use it you just had to keep useing that same weight bb.
