So much for realistic PB markers. I own the M-4 version, stock it shoots 375 - 400 fps. 300 is the only field legal speed around here some mines set right on 295. I'd probably get into airsoft but the guns cost as much as PB markers and im saving to fix or replace my car.

One of my PB buddies owns an m4 airsoft and loves it, though he was sad when he saw my m4 PB marker, cause now i have the most bad ass marker that out performs what they shoot. He wishes he could bring his airsoft to play PB with us. Frankly i love his m4 and love how you have to change mags granted it is after an unrealistic number of rounds.

As for the RAM m4. Its nice looking, the concept is cool, but in play it cost to much, and isnt very accurate. I calculated out what you would need gear wise and it came out to something like $1500 for a standard combat loadout. Even then the downsides were to high for it to be a viable PB marker.

And to end the dispute... Airsoft has a higher FPS, with upgrades you can be shooting 500+ something a PB marker cant do. When mine fired 400, it was notoriosly inaccurate due to the ball distorting at high preasure. The solid pellet is far better for high FPS. Besides due to the area covered by a PB at impact most people say that 300 FPS + is enough to break small bones in your hand, while i've been shot at 320 it isnt a fun experiance. The small impact zone of the pellet means it may hurt more on exposed hands and such, but it wont do the same amount of damage.
