Something to keep in mind is that switching from 0.20g BBs to 0.25g will give you a better performance increase than staying with 0.20g BBs and increasing the velocity. I know it's not your question, but I'm just stating a fact. At first with my MP5 I found that 0.20g weren't that impressive at punching through brush, so over the winter of 2004 I upgraded it to 350fps, and still had a supply of 0.20g BBs come March when I started playing again. I still found that 0.20g BBs flying at 350fps would be easily deflected by light foliage and mild dead grass. When I switched to 0.25g I had to go through a learning curve because where it'd take me a couple dozen BBs to get through brush to register hits on a guy, even 50-60ft away, it'd generally only take a coupel quick bursts with 0.25g to do the same. Hence I overshot a couple people early on because I wasn't used to the performance improvement.
So, if you do a mild to moderate upgrade, say 330-350fps and go with 0.25g, you should be totally fine in performance. Overall I generally try to get guys to not upgrade to 400fps or as close as possible just because it's not really needed, and oft times frowned upon, at least for newer players. If I can smoke a guy with my MP5 150ft away with one burst of 0.25g BBs going at 325fps, I'd say it's pretty good. And brush penetration is still rather good. Just watch out when playing against guys who use mostly 0.20g BBs, they might call you a cheat because you use a bit heavier ammo. Happens more than it should, once is even too much. Lol
