MARUSHIN MOSSBERG M500 8mm fps?

[georgehutchison]

Greetings:

I have a question and would love to get the communities opinion.
I am hosting another indoor game where the fps rules state 350fps with 6mm .20 bb's.

Here lies the problem. One player has a 8mm MARUSHIN MOSSBERG M500 shotgun that can't be cronied properly due to it's 8mm .43 bb's. I dont know if this would be safe for indoor. I cannot find suffienent information regarding the joules this gun can produce compared to a 6mm .20 350fps airsoft gun.

Any with this?

Use the weight of the BB and FPS, then convert to 0.20g
Size doesn't matter.

That i understand, i just have heard conflicting fps readings with this gun. I have read everything from 220 fps-350fps with 8mm .43 bb's in the last hour of research. anyone have experience with a estimate of fps for this gun?

Great chart but do you know if a MARUSHIN MOSSBERG M500 shoots 350 fps with 8mm .34 bb's? if so the they are way too hot for indoor. I just can't see a company marketing a CQB shot gun that shoot that hard.

I too know of a player who was restricted from using the marushing m500 8mm indoors.

(specificly at TAC3)

read the chart and pretty much it's shooting 430 FPS on .20g 6mm bb's, If you convert the .34g 8mm into .20g 6mm.

And I'm guessing it's the 370 you had on your game thread converted into .20's it equals too 482fps with .20g 6mm.

If he plans on using it make sure it doesn't go over 269 fps on .34g and 234 fps on .45g when he chronies it. If it goes over then you know the shotgun's shooting over 350fps on .20g 6mm.

Hope this helps.

Chrony the gun. Convert FPS.
Don't go by "what you have heard" or "what the box lists".

Ritz had the right idea but he plugged in the wrong number values.

Use this chart to determine FPS, the base is 350fps on .20g bb's each weight equals too 350fps on .20g if any number goes over the fps value for that weight than you know it shoots harder than 350 on .20g



And your mossberg fps dilemma is highlighted in red, goes over those two numbers than it's too hot.

of corse I would cronie it. I wouldn't host a game and go by what the box says. I should have been more clear on wanting to know what asc members shotguns fired at.

I remember getting tagged in the leg by one of these guns and it really hurt. I guess they do shot pretty hard.

thanks for the help guys.

I don't know a whole lot about these shotties - just wondering - could he use duster?

Duster is just HFC-134a if you read the above post he said it was chroning too hot even with duster.

Been shot 3 times (ala Murdoch) Point blank with those, as he stated I have the scars to prove it. It hurts. Can be tough and suck it up, but honestly don't even consider it for indoor play, just my opinion but unless everyone there gives their concent and say's its okay as they'll all take a risk of being hit, just vito it.

Char....it's Veto...not Vito...I think that's some Italian guy you're thinking of...

8mm sucks ass indoors and you're waiting for the "when" not "if" for an issue of broken gear and injury to occur.

It hurts A LOT...suck it up or not, it's a lot more power than it needs to be for close CQB.

I've taken one to my comm-earpiece and it rang my bell...if I hadn't had it on or if it hand'nt tagged my ear right there it would have been really bad. I've been dropped on the spot by a close shot...hurt like a mofo.

If it was an open field game, that's different.

Weighing the following:

- safety of all players in any expected circumstance vs. one guy getting to use his shotty

- would you want anyone to take a point blank "bad-luck" hit with it at your game?

....is it much of a decision?

Sorry..re-read the thread and it became clearer that you were asking what velocities/power levels people were getting out of theirs. Can't state specifically but I know SAFX tried duster and the lightest BBs he could get and it was still too much for really close CQB. Gas guns and temp can vary quite a bit and 350/0.20 is the max...and just squeeking in at 349.5 isn't really the point is it?
