woz 260 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi....I don't know much about the rapids...do you have to unscrew the air cylinder to refill or can you get a quick fill for them?? How easy are they to take up to fac and what power and barrel options to get the most power?? Can they be made variable so can be turned down for shooting in buildings and turned up for long range stuff?? Quote Link to post

Can they be made variable so can be turned down for shooting in buildings and turned up for long range stuff?? the fac mk1 has an adjuster on the back that is operated via an alan key to turn the power up or down, mine goes from 12ft lbs up to 42 ft lbs in .20cal. power is generally controlled by pellet size/weight so a .25 cal will push out more power but not necessarily be the highest velocity also its constrained by pellet weight and stability. Ive found heavy logun penetrator pellets and a setting of around 26ft lbs works best with mine also the fill pressure makes a difference Quote Link to post

woz 260 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Paulus.......when you set the power via the grub screw do you have to rezero/crono when turning the power back to get 26ftp??......thinking....when you wind the grub screw out for low power shooting pigeon in farm/factory buildings then wanting to go back to 26ftp...if the rifle will do 40ftp..or have you shimmed or marked the grub screw???
