ARES VZ58 SHORT: specs, joules & FPS
Partial data ARES AEG (electric)
ARES VZ58 SHORT, AEG: 0.95 J, 320 FPS, 160 rounds. Full specs from the official source, with FPS for every BB weight.
Power
Within Italy's 1 J limit
Energy computed from the velocity with 0.20 g BBs, the standard weight manufacturers and shops use to measure FPS.
The main source does not give the velocity: FPS taken from the page of the same model on www.redwolfairsoft.com.
For information only, based on the source's data for this version. Not legal advice: always check current local law and the version the shop sells.
