it is a "full power" rifle ( usually between 9 - 11 ft/lbs)

 

the ONLY way to know......is to have the gun chronographed.

 

power levels can alter, depending on the condition of the main spring, seals etc, and even which pellets you are using.

 

no two guns are the same......even if someone says " my airsporter in running at 10.6 ft/lbs" it means nothing.

 

you can buy a crombo 625 mk 4 chrono for around £40 (new) and test it your self or a visit to your local gunhop, they should be able to do it for you.

 

cheers
