There is an event happening on Facebook for the reveal and with the title it suggests it’s obviously for the Airguns

Basically, it is down to how much the air is disturbed. Pellets have a more complex shape than slugs, involving the air getting around more changes in direction, so you would expect them to generally be more noisy. However, hollow points are going to generate some noise, so large hollow point slugs could also be noisy. As both slugs and pellets have rifling marks, I cannot see this as being a major difference between them. Pellets such as the JSB Hades can be expected to produce more noise, or anything which has cuts or marks on the nose to disturb the airflow.

As for reducing the noise, smooth boat tailed slugs with no meplat on the nose fired at relatively low speeds are probably as low as you are likely to get. An accurate round is likely to be less noisy than a round which is yawing, which will itself disturb the airflow. As for .177 being quieter than larger calibres, this may be true, but if the airflow remains laminar along the entire length there will be more base drag and turbulence which may cause a problem. It will all be down to the individual designs.

@markhooper Gyroscopically stable = stabilized by spinning. This refers to slugs.

Pellets are stabilized by drag as air moves across and around the pellet’s skirt.

This is my understanding.

No they are not, please read this. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/aerodynamic-stability-of-pellets.1276895/

Has anyone noticed that DRS Tactical has recently been removed from the FX site?

Hi
I just bought an FX Maverick .22 and I'm doing some tests at short distances of 20 meters and my AA S200 CZ barrel makes much tighter groupings. I'm a little disappointed with my FX….i use jsb 15.89 in both with 850 fps for Fx and 790fps for the aa s200

Can you return the Maverick and get your money back? Even if there is a re-stocking fee for returning it, you might be better off with a non-FX rifle that is known for reliably shooting well right out of the box.

Joe's lemons in the back, baby avocados close.

I had to try it ... can the Schimel handle a big Diablo 33gr pellet?
So here it is, 15 shots with 33gr Diablos. And nothing broke. The last one hit low as the gas ran out.
Even with these heavy pellets the POI is about the same as with the Crosman 14.3gr I normally use. Except it kicks a bit more.
These old Schimels pack a helluva punch!
And granted, my aim needs some work ...

Hello, I guess I have the original 28mm pro gauges, not sure, they have the 5 pin connector in 2 rows, one row of 2 and one row of 3. I can not get one of them to turn on or take a charge. Is there a method to send it in and have the battery replaced, or can it be done by the user? What options do I have

Thanks
Glenn in GA

Hi Glenn, Thank you for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with one of your gauges. Based on your description, it sounds like you have our Gen-1 28 Pro gauges.

For all our digital gauges with built-in batteries, we strongly advise charging them at least once every three months. This helps prevent the battery from completely discharging during long-term storage, which can gradually reduce its capacity over time.

Our Gen-1 pressure gauges come with a 1 - year warranty, while the Gen-2 ones are covered for 2 years. Would you pls send us a private message or email us at [email protected] with your order number, or the name/ email address you used to place the order. We'll be able to look up your purchase record and determine if your gauge is still under warranty.

If it is, we'll be happy to arrange for it to be repaired or replaced free of charge. If it's out of warranty, we're currently offering a special discount code exclusively for Gen-1 product users like you. As a token of our appreciation for your long-standing support, be sure to get in touch with us, and we'll share the details with you!

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to let me know.

Cheers, Nicole R

Could very well be. Today the scope game is a beautiful mess. On one hand we can get a lot more for our money these days. On the other it’s hard to tell where the best use of that money should go. If you check out the backfire channel on YouTube they had a video several weeks back showing how something like 15 different companies were selling basically the exact same scope (manufactured in China) ranging from 100-400 dollars.

I also like to watch Airgun Channel with Nate. He’s not always super accurate with certain terminology or details but he makes up for it with entertainment value. His commentary while blasting little toys always makes me laugh. It’s nice to see a shooting video without birds getting pulverized every ten seconds.

What everyone else has recommended is great and I use them as well! But I just order this a week or so ago and it is fantastic! It is brushless and it pulls all the gunk out of your barrel usually in 1 pull. I did have to cut half of the brass weight so that it would fit in the breech of my guns though. Other than that it works fantastic!

Yes I agree they are beating me down the rabbit hole with a 16 lb sledge hammer. Lol. Maybe a 16 fpe hammer .lol

Thanks, y'all! We'll check out these thoughtful options. Guns and Ammo mag tested a Umarex Komplete and liked it for the price; what do y'all think about it? The Nitro cylinders might be a tolerable price at 2 for$25 if we stay under 200 shots a year. Blessings to you folks; we appreciate the feedback.

Easy to shoot a lot more than 200 with any PCP.
I can do that just testing out any new (to me) gun.

The Komplete seems like a decent rifle. If you are okay with the non-reusable bottles then it is an option.
I am not a fan of the idea.
It is also a right handers gun.

For a lefty I'd go with the Avenger Bullpup or the Air Force (Escape or TalonP too)

TalonP

I don't know much but these small bullpups look awesome tho they might be underpowered... never had any of them only pcp i own is a Notos lol

Ataman bp17 don't even know if they make them anymore

Edgun Fenix and the beautiful Lelya

Caiman bullpup

Hope this is somewhat on the mark

My buddies lelya 25 is doing 45fpe, that's a 22.6" long gun. My lelya .22 I currently have doing 18gr slugs at 905. I'm gonna see how far I can push it but I'm pretty sure it can hit 40fpe, same length gun

Thx! You saved me some coin. The price sounded great, though.

Glad I could help! Now to try the 18gr Apolos lol
