I wanted to get some of the heavier weights too but I figured I should just grab what is most commonly used...$160 later!

I'm testing: .20, .23, .25, .28, .30, .36

I've been wanting to do this BB weight vs range test forever to actually end the debate, but I'm kinda lazy. We had a project that was of our own choice and this worked out nicely! I got to do something I'm actually interested in and get marks for it. The prof especially loved the fact that I was doing imperical testing to see if it fit my theory/model.

For your barrel length testing, are you using just a full cylinder? I'm also curious to see extensive testing done between properly matching cylinders with barrels (ie. ported vs not). I've only quickly tested that twice - once with a ~15fps difference (ie. 15fps drop using a full cylinder on an m4) and the other no noticable difference.

Maybe you could get your hands on a V3 and a prowin hopup unit so you can just test it outside of the gun and simply chop the barrel down every inch - no need to take apart anything and eliminates a lot of disassembly/assembly variability!
