you'll have to aim A LOT higher to achieve the same range a BB has when hopped.
And rifling the barrel won't replace hop-up. all it does is stabilize the projectile, not add lift to it.
I doubt this pellet will have nearly as much range as a hopped BB, even though it may fly faster (by being less effected by drag, if this shape actually does that...)
and on another note- if this pellet really does create less drag and looses less energy along its flight, we will have to reconsider the safety range!
as of today snipers with 500 FPS can only shoot at people 30 meters and over (where I play) because at these ranges the BB lost enough energy and dosn't do much damage.
What if these pellets dont loose energy? if at 30 meters its still carrying 3 jouls then the MED should be increased!
add that to the fact that without hop-up it won't even get that far and your left with this:
a projectile that has no range, but can hurt people.
epic fail.
