I might have to hit you up on that. I'm booked this week, but I might hit you up later. Just to make sure, 1150 fps is the speed of sound right?

The speed of sound depends on temp and pressure. At sea level... 68 deg F....... in dry air.... the speed of sound is 1125 FPS

ETA: NASA has a neat writeup and calculator for the speed of sound HERE------>

Even though the "constant" speed of sound is 1125fps, I wouldnt stray more than 25-50fps above 1000. In fact, I would say just enough that your gun cycles reliably.
