I agree there. My MP5SD I got up to (I'd say unintentionally) 387fps. At first it sat at a pretty consistant 350fps, then I installed a bearing spring guide, went up to 365fps, then I installed a 330mm stock inner barrel into it (10cm above the 229mm that was in there) and that itself ended up adding another 20fps to tmy total.
I have a Prometheus 110SP spring in my other MP5, and aside from bushings is the only upgrade. Beginning of this year my SD tanked out of me withthe cracked mechbox (was shooting max 300fps), so I used my other one all year, about 15 or so games, and it shoots 365fps, still has the stock version 2 mechbox, and is running and shooting great. Case in point, Prometheus springs are very good even on stock mechboxes. And since my barrel is only 229mm in that gun, anything with a longer barrel and that spring will be sitting at a higher fps (and a lower chance of mechbox breakage).
