370fps with the Modify 100 spring and bearing spring guide from my tests. And that is from my MP5SD with 300mm innner barrel and two Ak47s I installed in as well as an M4A1.

If I can get past 200ft easy in man sized groups per burst, using 0.28g BBs in a 360fps (w/0.20g) MP5, stock 229mm inner barrel using a Guarder clear rubber............. why risk your mechbox for less range than that? Heavier BBs with hop up tend to go unstable when shot past 380fps , lighter get fucked around 100ft. Hell, my CA M24 typically runs at 490fps, I have gotten better range and effective accuracy out of it shooting 340fps (w/0.20g) and shooting 0.30g BBs, easy 300ft and 6 out of 10 shots are within a couple feet of a man sized grouping.

Ignore the rest, live like the best! Ok, play on words, but still, 400fps or more out of any airsoft gun is more bragging points than actual performance boost. Heck, I have my MP5SD that shoots 370fps (I downgraded it recently since I found my first year using it at just under 400fps....... last year.......... gave me the worse performance I've evern seen out of any of my guns, previously it was fucking stellar around 360-380fps w/0.20g), and my other one, my MP5A5 (the one I'd clear 200ft with) is now sitting at 300fps. Think I'd avoid using 0.28g BBs in either one for an outdoor game? Hell no, I even shoot at guys 140ft away with my G19 using 0.36g BBs and hit them sooner than they'd get a sight picture on me with their 400fps AEGs. Simple physics really.

More about learning the system of gun vs. BB weight than it is about getting as close to 400fps only to find out you still have a system that sucks.
