FPS for pistols?

Airsoft safety discussion. Post here with questions about laws and safety concerns.

I'll put a vote in for chrono on any weapon brought onto the field.

I witnessed a 410fps+ chrono on a gas pistol a couple months ago. Considering people reach for their sidearms especially during short range encounters this made me uneasy...

Yeah Redd has a WE 1911 that hits right at 400 FPS

I have a pistol that will hit 450 with certain attachments. Without them, it's 350. This is a propane powered pistol. A list of pistols that shoot higher could be compiled, and during chrono, those sidearms should be ran through also.

I ran the chrono at Holy Wars & made it a point to test sidearms. Some were hovering around 400 (especially the CO2 ones) so I tagged them and reminded the people to respect the engagement distances with their sidearms.

typically the pistol is supposed to be the backup to your primary or used if you are in close range and feel its unsafe to engage with your primary at such close range.
