| Let's say a sniper shoots at 440 FPS w/ .2 gram. (as a stock rifle) What would the fps be if i used .3 bbs. 400 fps? Im not sure. | |

| Donīt get hung up on an FPS drop if you are increasing the weight of your BBīs.
The drop in FPS is going to happen, Heavier mass, The carried energy will stay the same, it just becomes a question of the carried energy being capable of delivering the desired results. | |

| Slob was speaking fine....
He means though your chronograph my read a Lower FPS rating, the "Carried Energy" (the Force of the shot, or power) is still the same, because the drop in Feet Per Second is made up for by the extra Mass of the BB. | |

| The energy is based in momentum more than speed. More inertia for a heavier bb. | |

| Yep. To add on with the FPS drop and such, the heavier the bb the more accurate it is  | |
