Yes. CQB sites in particular sometimes have lower limits.
Some sites quote 328 or 330.

Re: Sites FPS Requirements?
Mine asks for 330 on full auto.
425 on semi automatic only
and 500 on bolt action, if your rifle is over 330 fps you have a 20m MIN. engagement range (snipers and semi's only are too powerful close range!)
All fps limits allow +5% variations.
'Tis a woodland site.

Re: Sites FPS Requirements?
Generally aiming for 328 (which is 1 joule of energy on a .2 bb) will do you for every site that I know of, the ones that allow higher generally do so because of the vagaries of chrono inaccuracies.
Standard ones for F+O sites (where I mainly play) are 350 max (ie if youre 1 fps over on any chrono, its hot) for pistols, aegs etc.., semi locked DMRs 400 fps and bolt action sniper rifles 500 fps. (all on .2s) , DMRs and bolt actions have a 20 yard MED.

Sites that specifically say semi auto only -400ish fps.
What about pistols? Do they count, technically?

My local doesn't routinely chrono pistols, unless they're CO2.

I think so... But you'd then have to adhere to an MED.
Others till I die

Ah. True. Not much point in that then!
