Elliott 436 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 You'll have to test your individual rifle to assess its power as each rifle is different. Your local gun shop or club may have a chrono that you can borrow to find out its fps. Always handy to have a chrono yourself to keep an eye on the power Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just say it's a Sub12 Having said that a mate of mine who got one from a shop as a sub12 turned out to be 23!!!! Tony Quote Link to post
Chid 6,625 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 get it checked out at your local gun shop , also why not buy your own chrono if your going to be asked the power for risk assessments http://www.airgunbuyer.com/details.asp?cat=Chronographs&SubCat=Shooting%20Chrony%20Chronographs&Product=3047 Quote Link to post

TURN IT DOWN and quick sharp My Ultra was tested with AAF's at 11.74-75 by RFD Piggies chronoed it with Biz Mags at 21grains. Output was 13.04 ft/lbs Tony Quote Link to post
WoodsmanJim 160 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I would say that is definitely too close to the mark with a 16gr pellet. Bisley Mags or some other very heavy pellet would have to be a horrid fit in your barrel for that to not be plenty the wrong side of 12ft/lbs. That said, it's worth testing a variety of heavier and lighter pellets (cos that's what the cops will do) and see what your results are. Do it somewhere private though, just in case! You don't want anybody snitching you out before you've had the chance to detune the gun! Pellet weights and velocities and power levels are funny things and can vary so much gun to gun, pellet to pellet. so you might be fine, or you might get a surprise. Either way, better safe than sorry. Jim Quote Link to post

Output was 13.04 ft/lbs Tony when I was testing power and pellets I found that pcp s with short barrels gave a lot more power increase with heavy pellets than pcp s with longer barrels .That is at 12 ftlbs ultra has a short barrel but he should still check with a heavy pellet or two.
