Axe Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I haven't used the Gunpower models but have owned the S16 which would get my vote. Realisticly though, you ought to go and check them all out in person, it will probably make your mind up for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbithunter2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I've seen them both but still unsure :blink: Just hoped people could give good and bad points for both guns. Don't want to spend 3 hours in shop again trying to make mind up. Then get home and get moaned at!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well if your comfortable with both, I can tell you that the S16 is very accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONYG Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 have got both rifles in my collection,s-16s would be a better gun hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbithunter2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I've heard that gun power better long range is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Do you mean in FAC as either gun in 12ft/lb could not be considered long range. The longest shot I took with my S-16 was 52yards on a rabbit, 1 shot 1 kill witnessed. I don't know what the Gunpower will turn up to but the S-16 will only run at a maximum of 16ft/lb. Either gun would not be my choice in FAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbithunter2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I mean none fac. 52 yards is far better than the air gun i own will do. It would just be till get round to applying for my fac if i can get 1 that is? what fac gun would you buy? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 From what I have assimilated so far, i'd probably go along the lines of a Rapid .22 as it has a larger reservoir, but I wouldn't rule out an Airarms 410 Xtra FAC or Daystate.

Replay Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi Unsure which one to get logun s16-6 or a gun power stealth or storm? I know there not every ones cup of tea. cheers Get the storm, must admit, its a fine gun, that can also be modded at any time really easy too. The storm is a really fine gun, that is well worth owning between all the guns you listed. The Storm is a high-performance take-down hunting rifle which also serves as an accurate target shooting gun too. You will also find that the storm is constructed from aircraft grade aluminium and space age polymer combination using state of the art production techniques. Fac Levels in 1.77 & .22 --------------------------- Max Velocity .177 850ft/sec (261m/sec) .22 720ft/sec (221m/sec). The barrel fitted to the storm is a high precision Walther rifled barrel of which is an excellent target barrel too !!!!!! The only knock back on the storm i can see is shes a single shot gun, but everything else rocks about the storm. Cheers Replay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbithunter2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I just think i will have to go buy both of them. cheers for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3jackwhite3 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 well i have a gunpower stealth and they are a very good rifle and are more than capable of FAC powers as they were designed for FAC take a look at www.talonairgun.com there is a bunch of guys who will give you good advice and what they are capable of if you decide to go FAC, and if you do go FAC in the future i would pick the gunpower storm as you can put a decend silencer on it and it has a longer barrel and it will give you more shots per fill,and the standard silencer for the gunpower stealth is just a hollow tube and is really **** and loud,and i have heard that the logun s-16 jams and leaks air sometimes so good luck in your choice.

airssassin Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I owned an S16 for a while and know someone with a gunpower stealth. My observations S16 is multishot and achieves about 225 shots per fill Stealth is single shot but achieves about 400 shots in .22 at 12ft/lb Stealth is MUCH lighter than the S16 which can be a bit cumbersome (try it out) The Stealth can be quite noisy even silenced.. hence why they brought out a version with a massive silencer! S-16 is v. quiet with supplied silencer. Both are very accurate and use walther barrels (probably the same!) Stealth can go up to about 40 ft/lb (if you have FAC obviously) I have heard that the S16 can go up to similar power levels also Both rifles are bombproof if you follow the instructions Both can be picked up for a song My recommendation if you find the weight OK is the S-16 as you get so much for your money second hand and it's a multi-shot. Bear in mind that if you normally shoot from a bipod, the weight won't be an issue. It was a bit heavy for me but I could still take quite a few standing 35 yard accurate shots before my arms gave up and I'm not that big.

johnbaz Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 hello mare i have both the stealth an the s16, the stealth is my favourite of the two but has the problem the the tophat keeps working loose, i have to keep checking it in use but as already said, it's nice and light the s16 was leaking when i bought it (wasn't told about it ) but it got worse and now it hisses very loudly, it's from the reciever where the bottle screws into anyhow, when i first acquired the rifle, i loaded the mag, operated the bolt, it didn't fire so i thought i hadn't pulled the bolt back enough and did it again when actually i hadn't pushed it forwards enough, in no time i had three or four pellets in the breech , i managed to remove them without ill effects and once i'd realised, i operated the bolt properly. the stealth has accounted for hundreds of ferals at the large foundry where i work and is a great rifle to use i never made a kill with the logun as it quickly became useless du to bad seals regards, john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.LAG Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 you need to buy some seals from logun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.stuart Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 both rubbish mate.s16 a heavy beast and the stealth is in accurate.dont waste your money on either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davrian Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Tried S16 before buying a Stealth 2000 in .177! the S16 was .22 and I found it quite accurate apart from when you don't pull the bolt back far enough so it wont fire then in pulling the bolt back a second time you load a second pellet! very anoying but easily done as bolt rquires too much effort. I shoot targest out to 75yrds and drop bunnies at 50yrds. I now have an S410 TDR .22 as well which I'll be selling soon as the Stealth is more accurate, I'd say the S410 TDR is better than the S16 but not just because I'm selling one!

terrier Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Gunpower, much easyer to work on if he fails (O rings for example) You also can change barrels in a minute. Very accurate and hard hitting gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbaz Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 well my logun s-16 is up and running and holding air now (just needed some silicon grease on the O-rings having said that i love my stealth but i also loved my career (before that ****** started leaking too ), the fast-fire lever action was pure fun, eight rounds gone in about four or five seconds- it took longer to load it than fire it was the only problem john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
