My only reservation is that with my gas/spring pistols I notice they can be incredibly accurate at around 25 feet, but beyond 80 or so they veer off to one direction - so I was not so sure accuracy at 30 = accuracy at 100.

EDIT: offhand exaggeration. it was more like 2 inches, I just measured.
When it comes to GBBs the ammo weight is key. I've gotten kills at 140ft with my G19, propane and 0.43g BBs. yes I had to aim for the head to hit th echest, but those AEGs users were embarrassed to run AEG vs. GBB with me. List is long and dignified actually. Lol

Mostly I use 0.28g to 0.30g for my GBBs, have outlined the many reasons why, and many have benefitted from it and follow it themselves.

Regarding the above post, is rather pointless to compare real steel ballistics with airsoft ballistics. for most airsoft guns, 100ft would be less than similar to 300 yards with real steel. My 500fps tuned sniper rifle with good ammo and no wind conditions (like indoors) can hit a piece of paper 8 times out of 10 using 0.30g BBs. No lie, airsoft sniper rifles tend to have greater "shit luck factor" than AEGs do, simply because you are shooting one shot. Mother Nature largely decides where the BB hits, nothing you can do changes that, and that gap increases with the range. 300ft kill? Shit luck, period, unless you are using a 700fps rifle. Others will argue with me, but I have little to brag about (way I am) I prefer to tell it like it is.
