Difference between airsoft and paintball chrono?

[Lord_Metile]

So today while skirmishing with my new gun, I went to chrono and it was only 305 fps. However, I stayed and saw some guy with some magpul £300 gun was shooting at 295 fps. It was a paintball chrono, is there a difference?

A chrono is a chrono is a chrono. That said, some makes differ than others (Madbull ones are kinda notorious for it).

 

What makes you think it's wrong?

[Lord_Metile]

Just most sites say it's 330 fps. It didn't seem right for most guns to be shooting 300 fps.

could be poorly calibrated, or it could be that all the guns were shooting 300fps ish, all of mine do.

[Lord_Metile]

OK, thank you. It wasn't working too well at first.

Also could have been detuned with a lower strength spring due to previously being hot. Note - FPS does not necessarily equate to range and accuracy.

Recently at The Asylum (First and Only) all of our guns read 50 fps lower than at any other site ever

Chrono's tend to produce their most accurate results when the battery is nice and fresh and the lighting is good.

it could also have been using 0.25BBs which would have given it an fps of around 330 on 0.2s

[the_robbo]

I definitely used 0.2s

 

i think the chrono needed calibrating
