A more useful measurement for a weapon is ft/second. In this case, that would be 821 ft/sec. Not really very fast. Good pellet rifles regularly exceed 1000 ft/sec. Of course, this is a first iteration. Subsequent ones should be able to improve on this.

How heavy was the projectile? An arrow traveling at 800 fps is a formidable projectile, for instance. Mass matters.
