Inspiriation about BB costs

Long Barreled guns are cumbersome. They are a lot of effort to wield and they are not that helpful in CQB situations. But one interesting aspect of a Gun callibrated for precision in airsoft is the savings.

Get the price you pay per Pack, and divided it into Magazines.
G3 Mag @500 is Php37.5 worth of BBs. Thats equivalent to a small meal or 2 way commute.
AK mag @600 is Php45 worth of BBs. now that is already the cost of a lowest end rice meal in fast food.

20m is a challenging shot for short barreled guns. Assault rifles which are not tight barreled trying to hit an arm-sized or half a head sized target will be needing long bursts. In airsoft this range is about the medium range. Consider that most of the time, targets would be very small even if this is relatively close.
Consider that 13 round burst would cost Php1. Every time you bring a streaming set of bbs online to hit that target, that is a 1 peso expense. Supprsession costs this much, but Kills at these extreme ranges of 20-30m for short barrels are expensive to hit. Especially when, relatively speaking, the target looks so close the temptation to finish a magazine just to get them is strong.
20m is challenging. In my experience long barreled (509mm+) at [email protected] would be able to hit a half-head sized target. In my experience, when my G3 is working fine, I can easily shoot it in 2:3 rounds.
20m with good wind at the same target size can take double the amount of BBs to hit at 1:3 . It could take 1:2 rounds, depending on polish and conditions. At this range BBs can be dodged and only a flatfooted foe can be hit (if he will be admitting)
30m is very hard to hit my current config as above. Although the Kaptain might be able with [email protected] with a 530mm barrel. For me it would be Php1-2 tracing and arcing shots. Once I start doing this the target that is smart would be displacing and his allies would be able to tell my position because of the fine line of BBs the Li-poly Increased ROF will create.
