There are quite a few spring and barrel options for the XYL Unicorn! We tested them all with 3 different dart types.
Below you will find the FPS results with 3 different dart types, Worker HE darts – 1.0 gram and Worker Bamboo HE darts – 1.0 gram and X-Shot short darts
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.
