All tests are conducted in a controlled environment. None of the test models are homemade, 3D-printed, or previously modified. We test different weight airsoft BBs to see if accuracy is improved by maintaining a consistent velocity.
It would be interesting to see what the accuracy would be with the .32g bb at the same pressure as the .20g. And then, the accuracy of the .20g bb with the same pressure it took to get the .32g bb back to 380fps.
His previous video shows that. To summarize, he tested with 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.43 and the order from best to worst was 0.3, 0.2, 0.25 and 0.43. But, of course, it depends on the power of the gun, the type of the gun (pistol/rifle etc.), the propulsion power, the distance, the type of bb (some are better than other even if they have the same weight) and the environment (indoor/outdoor).
I think that's unrealistic because the limit is defined in kinetic energy (Joules) which is 1/2 * mass * V^2. Your intuition is correct that a heavier BB going the same velocity as a lighter BB would have both greater energy and momentum and hurt more. It would lose less energy to drag as well because it has the same form factor (5.95mm), but a greater mass. A heavier BB, going the same velocity, should be superior in every way. The only exception may be that the magnus effect (lift from backspin) may not counter gravity as effectively, but I think that would be overcome by the greater momentum.
Before seeing the results my guess is there won’t be any difference in accuracy. If you were outdoors, then the heavier bb will be more accurate. But there is a huge difference in force. The heavier bb will have much higher force
Hey Chris it’s Ryan long time no see huh? I see you are really doing well with this airsoft business. I’d love to swing by and say hi sometime and check out your store. Idk if you will see this comment or not but I figured I’d leave it anyway. I do still have some airsoft gear but I haven’t played in years I’m thinking about coming by to play sometime
50ft = 15m? you should be doing 150ft = 45m that's is the average engagement distance and the max effective distance being 200ft = 60m. Even with a 1 joule gun with .48g you should be able to hit someone 80m away.
so u are more accurate with more energy. What a world we live in. You tried really hard to produce usefull data, this time with a descent gun, most likely good grouping, indoors, sandbags, like perfect. But you decide to tes the gun one time with .32/.2=1.6 times more power. why ?
