madshitbrain Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 I buy one of these today from my friend it use the gas canister fit into pistol grip it 177 caliber and good fun for knocking over tin cans but it doesn't seem to be much powerful. I would guess about 2-3 ftlbs. Is there any way to increase power to 6 ft lbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 Not really a lot of use other than for rats at close range (but too close for comfort if you ask me). Stick to bouncing pellets off cans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madshitbrain Posted September 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 Thanks Hammergun, no way of making power 6ftlbs then? I was thinking maybe stronger spring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 As the pistol is co2 there is no mainspring to replace,if i were you i would leave well alone,i expect somthing could be done to increase the power (what i dont know)but if you did manage it you would have to be very carefull about the 6ft/lb legal limit,if you exeed it accidentally or not you will be in possesion of a banned firearm (ie pistols requiring a fac are now banned) and will be in very hot water if you are caught with it.I know co2 guns have quite variable power depending on things like the hot weather etc so i wouldnt risk it.Like hammergun says stick to plinking wth it and ifyou want somthing with more power buy somthing that has been designed and regulated to do it consistantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madshitbrain Posted September 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 Yes I notice power drops rapidly when I fire rapidly and cylinder gets cold. This decreases pressure in canister? Pistol good fun but not good for killing, too inaccurate and too underpowered! I'd starve if I needed to depend on it but as I like pistol I buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rellik tibbar Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 this gun is for plinking only. i have a friend who has one it puts out about 395fps . not a killer just a targetter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of 5 Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 These guns put out a maximum of 2.5 ft/lb and more usually 1.5 ft/lb when used in rapid fire. Any tuning that can be done to these guns is marginal to say the least and in my oppinion hardly worth the effort. There is no way AT ALL that you will get anything near 6 ft/lb out of one of these. Strictly a plinker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
