    Lower FPS = Better efficiency?

    Theres an indoor field out here that I plan on playing at. The FPS limit is 240. I was wondering would the lower FPS that my lvl 7 mag would be shooting at lead to more shots out of a tank?

          to find the relative shot total from a velocity switch, find the ratio of veolcities and square it.

            240? Is the field stuffed inside a closet?

              Yeah, that must be a tiny field.

                Doesn't mean its a tiny field
                It could be the insurence policy states that FPS limit.

                    I have yet to play there yet, I have heard its small though. As far as efiiciency wise I konw I get roughly 1100 shots out of my 68/4500 tank (just a tad under actually). I'll update this thread after I play there and I figure out how many shots I get out of a tank.
