Just bought gas blowback bb gun

[Nerva]

bought a gas blowback bb gun modeled after the usp .45 tactical. holy sh1t is it powerful! it's advertised at 300 fps, which is what some of the spring guns are advertised at, but it seems so much more powerful...

Be careful, you'll shoot your eye out!!!

300 fps seems like you'd be able to see the bb rolling out the barrel.

Care to explain what's FPS for a BB noob?? I gather it's not Frame Per Second

What caliber? I got one for my son, 6.3mm 180mps (meters per second).

Ammo costs next to nothing and i get the co2 containers from a store i sell software to.

Ahh... Didn't know they have these "ratings" for BB guns... Thanks!

300fps is about the standard speed for paintball.... it's not that fast.
