Anyone know why Zeroone don't post the FPS of any of the guns they sell.

Re: Why no FPS?
It's just most other websites do it, and having to look them up is kind of annoying.

Well if you pay the extra for the upgrades then who cares?

Re: Why no FPS?
A lot of websites do, but a majority are false - so you in no better position.
Notice how almost all say 328 or 350. Funnily enough you don't see many advertise TM at 290fps, or a new clone at 380fps!

Re: Why no FPS?
It's not annoying as such, you just think Z1 could provide all the stats of a gun
after all, 2nd hand here you're required to state fps.
things like sniper rifles it's nice to see fps... low fps snipers kinda ruin the whole thing for me tbh.... sacrifice ROF for fps.
but that's only my opinion.

Re: Why no FPS?
Well every individual gun is different. if you state a specific fps for gun and it wasn't you probably liable under goods description. so unless they tested every single gun they won't be able to provide FPS.

Re: Why no FPS?
If I'm buying a new gun, the site with the best information is going to get more interest from me.
But you can always look on the Eastern hobby shop as they usually have most information listed.

Re: Why no FPS?
I just dont see why they cant chrono the guns before sending like EVERY OTHER AIRSOFT RETAILER DOES and have a slip of paper stating the FPS.
Takes what , 1 minute ?
If its over 350 contact the buyer and see what they want to do about it.

Re: Why no FPS?
I must admit I'm put off from buying from Z1 for this very reason. Not so much the lack of fps info.. but the lack of
any
info on products. When I see something on their site and it lists no details I'll usually look the item up on another site.. and I usually end up seeing it for cheaper on that site!

Re: Why no FPS?
It is more than likely to avoid a lot of problems with mardy people turning round and getting them done for false advertising.
Take Mardy 'softer A.
He goes to Zero one and buys (i dont know) a chinese m4. On the website the one they have chronoed is at 340fps. He takes it to a skirmish and it gets chronoed and due to factory variences it chrono's in at lets say 400fps.
Mardy 'softer A is then not allowed to use his brand new gun on site and goes home very unhappy and, you've guessed it, mardy. When he gets home he rings up Zero one and complains, now due to the nature of the factories Z1 wont do a refund.
Now Mardy 'Softer A goes to trading standards and gets Z1 done for misleading info etc etc.
So all in all its 10 times easier plus most players who buy from z1 would of done the research before hand therefore knowing the factory variences already.
(PLEASE NOTE: FPS's stated are fictional figures and do not reflect the FPS of weapons sold by Z1)
This Post may contain my opinions and if you disagree with them Tough S**T!
