Out of the box the Real Swords are ok to game. My all stock 56-1 took out 6 players with 7 shot's in a traitor game. All targets were at least 60 feet away and under 120 feet away so the accuracy decent. I recommend a heavy bb. .28's have worked fine. However, even with minimal hop up the bb's tend to fly upwards ridculously after a distance of 130 feet. The stock hop up rubber is very hard. Just swap in a softer one and things should improve considerably.

As a footnote, my understanding is that the majority of the Real Sword 56's that have made their way into Canada for 2009 shoot at the higher 395 fps. Once you get a battery and use your RS you'll know pretty much immediately if it's shooting 295 fps or 395 fps. You won't need a chrony. A pop can test will do.
