I put up a couple of tables with an easy conversion a little while back.

Here you go;

Follow the red arc as that's the one for 0.20g bbs.

Go to 300fps. It comes out at 0.85 joules. 0.15 joules under the limit. it's fine

What do they think of paintball, cork1? Might be a good idea to link the two. Show them some videos on YouTube too.

they wouldn't mind paintball too much but they are totally against guns.i would have to keep it locked away from my little sister but i have no problems there.i think ill try the videos as suggestsd and if that dosent work the next plan is "look sad,use silent treatment and be totally unobliging.
