I use .177 pointed pellets with my hw45 when I am shooting vermin as they bounce around inside rats. I check my kills and find that even when I get a rat in the chest it ends up coming out in abdomen or other unexpected place. I just happen to have a whole tin of .22 pointed pellets left over from bunny shooting and I will see if the same happens but with the Falcon I suspect they will go right through them. I understand what you are saying though in respect to pointed pellets not having as much affect as straightforward pellets when you have high power.Better a pellet that causes internal damage than just a clean hole which could heal. I managed to clear my blockage... I noticed that I could see the offending pellet and that's when i realised it was not stuck but floating in the breach area. Luckily the pointed pellet was jamming in the skirt of the original one and prevented me pushing it any further. I used tweezers to remove the breach seal, gave the gun a couple of shakes and it was out. Happy days. I will be more careful in future. I am just used to my Weihrauch HW100 which will not allow another pellet to load until the previous one has been fired. It was a ****** to get the breach seal back in as it's so big compared to the port and you're working semi blind but managed it on second attempt. The factory must have had a cone and plunger to help compress it and insert into the breach. Thanks to you all for your help and advice. I will be sorting out my other guns in the new year as have a couple of HW35's sitting around which have sat around for ages, so will need to make a decision to fix and keep or sell on. Happy New Year to everyone

Haven't got them out yet but I think the offending pellet is closer to the entrance than I thought. I think the loading pin might have perforated it and because they are pointy pellets they have jammed against each other. I will take a look with a loupe. Might be a blessing in disguise as might be able to get a threaded screw in and pull it out. I think I can see the breach seal so pulling that out first will avoid damaging it Would have been easier if I had a parts diagram so I can see how the gun is assembled. Can't find one anywhere

I am near Axminster, Devon Sorry I thought a jag was some kind of tool I had never heard of. You just meant something sharp or pointy thats going to damage the barrel

What did you mean by jag? Don't have a cleaning rod although have quite a few air guns so should really get one; some people say not to clean a barrel,others to clean it

I have not tried as worried that the pointed pellet will act as a rivet on the waist of the one in front of it and jam it up even worse. I looked on Air Arms website as I believe they bought out Falcon, but no support info at all on their website Just worried if I force anything I will end up with more problems

I haven't as I realised what I had done before pushing the pellet in far enough to lock the breach. I am using pointed pellets so if i force it in its likely to expand the skirt of the one that is in there already and make things worse

Hi all Anyone here know how to remove the bolt and pin assembly on a Falcon FN8 multishot. Accidentally recocked and pushed a second pellet part-way into the breach. I could remove it using a long M3 or M4 screw if I knew how the take the cocking lever off and the loading pin. Can this be done without depressurizing the cylinder? Thanks Forgot to ask...is it possible to charge the cylinder with Nitrogen or is this not advisable? I just have a whole cylinder of it! Otherwise I will just stick to the diving bottle air Many thanks
