Jake w 232 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi everyone iv got a fac rapid 7 it’s kicking out 36ftlbs with jsb exact jumbo heavy Diablo which are 18,13 gr I have seen a lot of you speak about using slugs? I am new to fac air and was thinking is the gun capable of shooting slugs at that sort of power or not? many thanks Jake w Quote Link to post
philpot 5,031 Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Our Mitch better known as villaman will give you all the answers as he has done quite a bit of testing using various slugs bug we are all using FX guns which may differ from Rapid. Must admit I am in no rush to swtch to slugs at the moment as my .25 Impact is still on pellets and will stay that way until I reduce my stock. Have a look at 'Airgun101' as the guys on there have done loads of videos using slugs but mainly through FX guns as they have the latest technology which is a million miles away from Rapid. Rapid are sound as a pound and was my first fac rifle but FX are the market leaders in air fac in my opinion. Good luck with it. Phil 1 Quote Link to post

philpot 5,031 Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Without doubt the Air Arms Diablo Field Heavy is fantastic 18gr has reined supreme with everyone that I know who has tried them and very much the case in Rapid barrels. JSB make them but using different molds and groups were better with AA compared to JSB pellets. One specialist Rapid dealer put me onto them, I never looked back, so accurate. https://www.countrywaygunshop.co.uk/product/air-arms-diabolo-field-heavy-22-air-rifle-pellets/ Phil 1 Quote Link to post
