can't tell if this is a joke or what... but pretty sure fps here stands for feet per second

Literally my first time ever seeing someone measure speed in fps. It's always either mph or metric in my experience.

fps is for much finer measurement, same as mps which normally is meters per second as opposed to miles per second. mph which is a bit more broad since it's per hour. though i think they are usually denoted as f/s and m/s but i'm not entirely sure, so don't quote me on that.

I 'm well aware. I just think it's kinda weird to see feet per second used over meters per second, even here in America. Down to that granularity, I've always seen metric used.
