    did some math, and found out how many mph a pball comes out of the barrel.

    ok well here we go,if u are consitantly shooting lets say 270 fps( your velocity), then that means every econd the ball travels 270 feet. so if you multiplied that by 60 because 60 secs in a minute u then get 16200, then u multiply by 60 becuase 60 minutes in an hour. u then get 972000. thats how many feet per hour, next u divide by 5280, becuase thats how many feet in a mile. so in conclusion i have too much time on my hands, o and u then get 184.09 so that means the ball travels out of the barrel at 184 MPH. its pretty cool, and easy to do, here is the method
    x= any number
    xfps times 60 times 60 divided by 5280= how many Mph the ball travels.

    an easier but slightly less accurate way would be to take fps * .68 (associate with paintball size) = mph. The .68 has nothing to do with the paintball caliber, it just happens to be the coefficient.

        300 fps= 200mph. Known this for years. There were even stickers made............

          Sounds like someone just learned how to do 9th grade unit multipliers

              The actual mutiplier is .681818181818181..., Just using .68 is pretty accurate.

                yeah, using .68 will get you as close as you need.
