Many insurance companies have decided that 400fps (1.49J) is too high for indoor. 350fps (1.14J) is more common.
I've always used the AP indoor limit of 330fps (1J), and usually build my indoor guns towards 300fps. Hell, I used a CA SCAR-L for a couple years outdoors that was 280fps and killed more people than killed me. Plus it was quiet, and there was almost no strain on the gearbox.
Benefits of lower FPS:
1)Less chance of permanent injury from close range shooting.
2)Quieter gearbox= less noise to give away your position
3)Less stress on the gearbox= increased longevity of your rifle
4)Less voltage required= batteries last longer
5)Less resistance in moving the spring/piston= faster trigger response, and increased ROF.
