Why do so many airsofters think FPS matters?

I am curious why everyone seems to think FPS is such a big dealI run a customized gun that runs pretty hot (420 with .2s, I use .25s or .28s only) but I wish I had downgraded to the low 300s rather than put it into the low 400sOnce you can hit your target, and assuming you aren't a dedicated sniper (LONG range, never less than 100 feet) why is FPS important?

Answer:

Well, put it this wayIf you and the guy your shooting at are 100 feet apart, your round reaches him after his round reaches youA big disadvantageIf your shooting 300fps and hes shooting 400, his round gets an extra 100 feet in a secondIm terrible for physics and math but break it down and his round will hit you before yours hits him, like your lagging but in real life Probably more important in paintball, but its a total game changer.
Dairy, anything greasy.
