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 :

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... somewhere in the Beeman R1 or comparable level...below there, they're just plinker/target guns...
remember...that's just my opinion...not fact...  |

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