With my WE PDW, I gained about .3j from lubricating it
With the vector, I vaguely recall it shooting 1.1-1.2j when I first got it, I just remember the increase after lubricating wasn't big. Retailers state you should be getting 380fps on .20s
Keep in mind that even though it has a short barrel, the muzzle energy will increase as you use heavier ammo.
Consequently, if you put a longer barrel in, it may increase the joule creep of using heavier ammo.
So if you have a .13j difference between .20 and .30 now, you may have a .2j difference with a longer barrel.
....actually someone should test that lol

I finally figured out the source of the low fps. I had cleaned and re-lubed the gun but there weren't any significant changes. I finally found that the hop up rubber had torn and was sticking into the inner barrel at a rude angle significantly slowing down the bb and possibly affecting the accuracy as well. I'll have to order a new hop up rubber. Any suggestions?
