360fps will outrange some guns set at 400fps. Velocity has a bit to do with effective range, but not as much as people think, hop up type/setting and BB weight play a MUCH bigger role on getting BBs 'out there'. Common example I use is my sniper rifle, at one point I had it downgraded to 340fps with 0.20g BBs, but found I could get 0.30g BBs out to 300ft slowly very easily. When it was at 500fps, I'd have a hard time with consistantly reaching 200ft away with any small degree of accuracy.
