What actually differs

  • SplatRBall SRB1200 claims 210 fps against 200 fps for the SplatRBall SRB400-SUB, about 5% faster on paper. Faster shots fly flatter and sting more; for younger or mixed-age players the slower blaster is usually the better host's choice.
  • The SplatRBall SRB1200 holds 1200 rounds to the SplatRBall SRB400-SUB's 400, so SplatRBall SRB400-SUB players reload 3× as often in a long game.
  • Both use the same ammo refill, so ammo cost is a wash.
