It's funny, some of these super inexpensive blasters have remarkable performance. A year or two back, there was a Buzz Bee Baron that had outstanding performance for a Mega blaster. I am guilty of buying half a dozen of them just to cannibalize the spring.

Not doubting your chronometric skills, but I am also guilty of overestimating the FPS before I got a chronograph. I'll admit, it's easy to do. The length of the blaster, the feel of the priming pull, the sound of the firing mech, it all plays together to give you a perceived sense of speed. All I'm saying is I was wrong many times.

Maybe I'll run down to Walmart and grab one. If it's as good as you say, I might cannibalize it for the spring. Lord knows you can't get a good spring on Amazon for $3.97
