Below you will find the FPS results for the SABRE APEX Prime with Worker HE darts – 1.0 gram
Each setup is tested with at least 20 shots over the chronograph to give you the best performance indication possible.
From each setup we report the highest, lowest and average, as well as the standard deviation.
The standard deviation is an important metric as it shows the consistency between shots, which is important for accuracy.
Please keep in mind this overview is meant as an indication. Dart quality, blaster seals, lubrication, climate and other factors have an effect on performance.
Chronograph used: Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph

I fairly certain that Bradley gets his higher fps numbers (and higher St.dev) from the bamboo darts he uses (Worker Bamboo short darts), since bamboo darts generally get much higher fps. Blaster-time has tested with normal workers, as they normally do.
