Blog entry of Hunter at Air-soft [co.cc]­ Airsoftica regarding the myth of Maru­i guns having a longer range even at lower fps (feet per second). He explains that it is not possible for Marui guns to out range higher fps airsoft guns given all things are equal --- every component of the airsoft gun is in good condition. An informative entry for newbies who are cautioned by Hunter not to fall for "marketing" ploys of companies touting fantastic ranges of their products.

It’s sad to have to explain such basic fundamentals of physics, but it’s something that needs to be done.

The younger generations have been let down.  Perhaps it is our education system; no doubt the lack of students involved in mathematics and science have a part to play in this.  The fundamental basic mechanics of airsoft are something of a myth to a those who are easily caught up in the marketing ploys of companies trying to explain why ‘less is more’ in regards to the maximum range of an AEG.  It is my goal to educate those who are confused about increasing their maximum range.

Please keep in mind that we are not talking about “effective range”, which is synonymous with “accuracy”, nor will we discuss the longevity of an airsoft gun!
