Ive been trying to figure it out and all I can think of is it has something to do with the hop up.

We chrono'd Mac's PTW just last week and the fps was a tad under 400 fps. Following the laws of physics where momentum = mass X velocity and assuming the BBs have the same mass and velocity being almost the same between AEG & PTW. I'm leaning towards the spin due the design of the PTW hopup & barrel. I think it's the spin that's causing the BBs to go the extra distance. But that's just my theory.
EDIT: See Mac's post above.
