The physics:

Hunterseeker, rhop creator, has his wobble theory.

If correct, it would explain how people manage to get 200ft+ ranges with less than 400FPS.

ATP tells us sub-1.5 joules it should basically be impossible to reach 200' without hop lobbing or impractical elevation adjustment. Yet people continually report CRAZY ranges with R-hop on airsoft mechanics forum and elsewhere.

I'd love to see more results from our community, as well as anyone with a very good physics knowledge that could shed some insight into whether or not this is actually possible. I understand some flat hop mods increase range slightly, or are great for tightening up groupings (shredders, firefly, etc.) but I want to know if this extreme range is possible.
