    A question regarding high velocities

    Heya dudes. I've recently got my PSG-1 up to snuff, hitting 400 FPS.

    Now with it I can hit tin cans off the back of a trailer from 50-60 meters. Not every shot obviously, but it can hit them

    So I'm thinking if I can hit a tiny tin can at that distance, I hit a person from about 70 meters.


    My question is: Is it worth upgrading to 450-500 FPS? What is the point? Will the BB fly straighter for further? Will I get more distance? Is it worth spending £80 on a high torque motor and 300% spring for it?

    Keep in mind it might be quite close to site limits, which are by the way?

    Your going to see them go a bit further, faster, probably straighter in wind. You gotta ask yourself, do you want it any better?

      The limits at my site are 500FPS.

      I don't think I need any more distance. Speed doesn't bother me as it gets there in a second or two anyway Straighter, that's about the only thing I'd want.

        FPS doesn't really equal range. It has a little effetc, but not a lot. Range is more to do with hopup, fps will affect how fast it gets there.

        I would say why not? You are technially adept enough so go ahead!

          isn't the usual rules 500fps for bolt action and 425fps for semi only AEG's?

            It varies between sites obviously

            Keeper, reason why not is it may be expensive I may need a Systema high torque motor, which is like £50. Then a 300% spring, which is freakin £20. Is it worth it for a little bit more FPS? I don't know

              Do YOU think it's worth it? Will it bring a smile to YOUR face? If so, go ahead and do it

              Just remember you need your sniper cert before you use it at our site...

                  I don't know what site you play at, but I highly doubt they are going to allow you to use a aeg at 500 fps, even on semi auto.
                  Id stay at 425 if I was you.
                  500 fps is only going to be decent with a bolt action sniper, gas or spring.

                    I thought any aeg (semi and full auto) firing at 500fps was classed as a section five firearm??

                      Bolt action is 500fps on our site, if the gun can fire on auto then its classed as a support weapon, 400 fps is the limit then
