Not really:

Big is a sufficient (but not necessary) condition for good performance.
Fast is a sufficient (but not necessary) condition for good performance.

It follows that
Big=good
Fast=good
Big and fast=really good
Small and slow (BB gun)=really bad

If it is small, it better be fast. If it is slow it better be big.

I think we are saying the same thing.


Well summarized and spot on. Thusly, I love my 340 wildcat pushing a big bullet (225gr TTSX) pretty fast (3100fps) why choose one or the other? When one can have both! grin
