I think he means 500fps with .12g. So yeah I agree with Bailey, but who knows he could have upgraded it. We will just have to ask him.
PhoenixShadowCompany has a BB embedded in his hand from a stock E1 AK that had just been chronoed at over 500fps, so you never can tell.

Ever heard of gun safety? That's why you never look down the barrel of a gun!
I never said he was the one who put it there.

It found it's way in my hand after a 14 year old kid decided to shoot in the staging area as we were setting up a crono. It was am echo 1 cpw it cronoed at 560 fps the pellet is still in my hand and I need to see a hand specialist because the nerves have wrapped around it.

Some fields still the old 400 fps with .20, most games and organizers use 375 w/ .25 these days. Unless you're talking about LC which is the odd man out with 366 w/ .25 which translates to 1.55J.

If you still follow the old 400 fps .20g FPS rules then this chart applies (1.48J)

400 fps .20g
356 fps .25g
337 fps .28g
325 fps .30g
282 fps .40g
272 fps .43g

You're welcome.

I think it's funny how I see games with fps limits at either 400 with .20s or 375 with .25s because those values aren't equivalent. I shoot exactly 375 with .25s, so I get into those places with a mag of .25s, but if I chronoed with .20s, I wouldn't get in..... But then again half of those games say they'll chrono, but they end up not at all.... It's funny.
