A bit of a redirect for this one. A superb piece by the legend that is Bearsoft on fps vs joules.

There’s still a huge belief in UK airsoft that fps = range, and you get loads of guys trying to push for even a 5fps increase, to push right to the limits without actually understanding how it all works and what affects range. I’d love all sites to start chronoing on joules to reduce the numbers of players trying to cheat chrono. But I’ll let SAAS Maine explain.

Also bonus points for having a picture of Brian May in it 😁
