You say that but i have chrono graphed a lot of guns, From no regulators to 1 regulator and now 2 regulators, The strange thing is, the most repeatable gun as far as variation in power goes was an old unregulated Webley raider, .1 ft lbs in 25 shots. I have an FX wildcat here, silly money and i still have my first air rifle given to me in 1977 and it was second hand then, A Dianna 25, To be honest apart from aesthetics and gimmicks there's still very little difference in performance at 30 yards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it is, then it’s total f***ing nonsense. What if they are the 12ft/lb equivalent to this? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had the Airsporter The Airsporter S was way out of my league and I knew it,I think most kids back then had visions of a feinwerkbau sport or the omnipotent HW35e as the ultimate whereas wolf dog strolls down to the store and gets a 900 Ft/Lbs BSA meteor without even being asked his age and gets to open-carry strolling round the neighbourhood shooting sparrows off the telly aerials.
