    you can use heavier gram bbs, and this will result in better accuracy

    .25s wont do lower your fps quite enough. .28s and .3s will do the job

    Not massive range but probably some. But with heavier gram bbs you have more accuracy. Also you can ask some guys like scooter or tinman about how hot their lr300s were shooting. After you shoot it a good amount your spring will decompress enough to be legal.

    With heavier BBs, you can accually gain range. The hop up will be easier to contain with the heavier BBs, unlike if your off just a little with .20s it goes sky high.

    true, but if you have a bad hop up that doesnt always apply

    As long as you have hopup it does apply on weapons around i think 400fps or more, because at that velocity a light bb will be extremely affected by air resistance and will cause it to fall faster, but the heavier bb will cut through the wind giving it more range and accuracy. In my old TM Vsr-10 G-Spec, which chronoed at 630, when you throw .2g bb's in there it only goes barely 150ft, but with SGM .29g bb's it could reach out to 300ft, so that proves it right there. When you chrono you are supposed to do it with .2g bb's, because it is not the velocity that matters but the amount of force it causes the bb to hit you at. Even thought it was going say 420 with .2g and 380 with .25g, it will still hurt the same at close ranges even with the fps difference and will actually hurt more at farther ranges because heavier bb's keep their velocity longer at longer distances, thus having more force.

    At Area13 games you don't have to worry about 400fps we allow 420fps for AEG's Area 13 RPG Vineyard And PBO.
