happyshooter Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Fac guns are great i use myx2 on shoots where rimfires are not allowed. i have a mk-1 rapid.22 at 40fpe usung bis mag pellets this is very accurate with real wacking power my 2nd fac gun is also a rapid mk-2 .20 at 26fpe nv gun fitted with the N550 Pulsar Digi Nv Scope again deadly accurate with good impact power. whats important is not the power but the ACCURACY os shot placement. atb brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maidment78 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I have an Air Arms 410 running at 36ft. and I totally agree, the new flat profile of the pellet with a bis mag is amazing. I have to say though I still like getting my BSA ultra out though at 11ft. and sharpening up my fireld work. I also had my Daystate Mk3 .177 uprated to 17ft. and I have noticed a difference in this too when hitting pigeon. the extra 5 ft. with a normal pellet really make a differnece in bringing them down but downside is the muzzel crack is quite loud so extra silencer comes in handy. Nothing more satisfying than a clean kill after a particualy long stalk in open country side. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) hi guys just got my daystate air ranger fac 40ft. been out at the rabbits and well chuffed had a rabbit at 70 yards over the moon until i got another paced out at 102 yards. this gun is some bit of gear thanks daystate. How far?! You must know your hold overs dude, way way too far for me, I stick to 50 yards with the rapid, any further the tool for the job is a rimfire IMHO.

Tend to agree, the majority of .22lr owners have a 50 or 60 yard zero and Sub sonic ammo produces approx 100ft lb!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubshot Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Most are filled to 200 Bar Maximum - Will take more - As Bottles / cylinders have higher Test class But most regulators work on 200 Bar Fills Most precharge guns give better power curves around 190 bar fill In FAC need Large Air Tank - for Shot Count BOB/R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John34 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Confirmation - the specification states fill pressure (up to) 250 Bar or 3,625 psi, ah well looks like a suck it and see, thanks for your input lads. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
