How do you determine what the gun is in which range? I mean how do we find out if a particular gun is in one of the 3 ranges listed below?

6-10 fpe- low powered
12-16 fpe-mid powered
18+ fpe magnum powered.


Use a chrony with pellets that have the pellet-weight on the tin, or weigh them yourself. When you know the speed and weight, you'll know in what category it'll fall.

Yup. If you need the formula for fpe Try the search feature :

Don't we already have a satisfying answer?

Everything over 16 Fpe with a spring is a Magnum springer or something?

IMO...the "real" killing machines start at the medium level of magnum springers... Rolling Eyes somewhere in the Beeman R1 or comparable level...below there, they're just plinker/target guns...

remember...that's just my opinion...not fact... Wink

Don't forget,about speed! Speed sells airguns! Smile 1200fps, is the "magic" number! Even if you have to use a pellet that dosen't weigh nothing,and is inaccurate! Laughing I'm currently working on a "Hyper Pellet"design,better known as a "paper wad" that will shoot at 1400fps! Rolling Eyes Then we will have the new term "SUPER MAGNUM" along with other terms, like broken springs,burnt seals,ect! Laughing Ron
