So when it arrives Hopefully before the weekend I can give it a good trial. Let you know how I get on.

AL   Posted: Wed May 30, 2007 9:10 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" I hope it works well for you. The output seems a bit low for a modern air rifle- any idea why this is? And I too would like to know why it's illegal in the Netherlands! _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Thank heavens we don't have any restrictions on power output on air-rifles. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed May 30, 2007 1:59 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND The Airmagmun 850 only put out about 580fps, it comes out of the same factory. AL   Posted: Wed May 30, 2007 3:42 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" I didn't realize that Germany had significant power restrictions on airguns! Learn something new every day and all that. Any idea where I might find some info (in English) on German airgun laws? _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

AL   Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 11:50 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands 16.5 joule is 580 fps? According to a reliable review my gun does about 220 Meters per Second. If I convert this to feets per second it becomes: 720 Fps. Can someone check this for me? I used this converter: http://www.nomoreodor.com/meters_to_feet_conversion.htm (It could be that it's a bit less, because I have a 5.5 version, in stead of the 4.5) _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 12:44 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Hi Broommaster according to the Umarex site the Airmagmun 850 put out 580Fps.

So if your gun will output 220mps, that would be 721.78fps. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.
