@ Gigaknight
But when everyone is using 400fps guns and .28's, you can gain a large advantage with a higher ROF. This is normally the case at games I go to, having a 400fps gun is nothing special, neither is using .28's (which I do use.)

@ Styrak
Exactly, I don't use just ROF often, I try to stay around 380+ fps AND a high ROF. Only my indoor guns (JG M4 and AK) are under that fps. Its not wasting BB's when I hit the target when I otherwise wouldn't have. When you are putting 1.49J .28's down range through some REALLY thick grass, maybe 1 in 10 gets through, and then maybe it takes 2-3 that get through to actually hit the guy. If I can get those BB's out there faster than he can react then hes hit and no longer a threat.

You both seem to be fixed on high rate of fire OR maximum fps, I use both since either one alone isn't as effective as both combined. When I quote muzzle velocities I am referring to .20's since that is what field limits are set with. I use .28's when actually playing. Also I know that maximizing the effectiveness of your gun does not make you a good player. I get killed lots by people with 400fps guns and .28's and much lower rates of fire because they are just much better at maneuvering, teamwork, and sneaking *cough* ODA 363 *cough*
