Some Basic Abbreviations and Definitions of Airsoft(II)

Last week, I posted some basic abbreviations about airsoft gun. As we know, besides airsoft guns, airsofters also need to get other equipment such as combat gear, aeg parts and accessories etc.So I wanna make a abbreviation list of something that I googled about airsoft .

FPS (Feet Per Second)

The system of speed measurement used to tell how fast an airsoft gun can propell a BB, or in other words, the velocity at which your bbs are leaving the barrel. Some players use MPS, meters per second, instead. Both systems equal the same muzzle velocity when the units are converted. The higher the FPS, the faster the BB is going. FPS is found by Chronoing the gun with a Chronograph machine.

MOLLE System (MOdular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment)

An advanced webbing system that lets you customize your LBV and thigh rigs as well as backpacks. MOLLE is used by the American Military, and airsofters have began to integrate it into their loadouts.

ROF (Rate of Fire)

The rate of fire is the amount of rounds ejected from the gun in a certain amount of time. Usually ROFpM (Rate of fire per minute).
