PCP benjamin armada air rifle wont fire over 100fps

I bought a Benjamin armada .25 two days ago and shot 1 mag through it. (Everything worked fine) so I decided to tune it. So I took off the stock twisted the screw to bump up the FPS, put it back together and now it won’t even shoot a pellet more than 50ft and my air pressure gage is still at 3000 PSI. Can anyone please help me out. Thanks

*Optical phenomenon* or a curved barrel - pellet flight starts off center - SOLVED

I was setting up my OrionCam with firefly (10/10 recommend) when I noticed the pellet first comes into frame far to the right (further than the windage). I am shooting JSB 15.89grs at 914 fps from a Daystate Regal XL with Hawke Sidewinder 4-16x SFP scope with half mil ticks (true mil at 10x), mounted on UTG medium rings. Two clips below.

Clip 1: Shooting paper at 20 yards with a 20 yard zero, very little wind, 10x magnification. The pellet enters frame about 2 mils to the right, I thought it was scope cant and realigned the scope. The scope cam wasn't lined up or focused properly yet so ignore the tilt in the video.

Clip 2: A different day. I zeroed at 20 yards and dialed 0.7 mils up and 0.5 mils left to shoot the target at 50 yards. The wind was spiraling but the shots were consistent once dialed in. I don't remember if I was shooting at 10x or 14x magnification in this video, so here's the math for all of it: Pellet enters frame 4 mils to the right - at 10x this suggests I either misjudged the wind by 22 mph and was dialed 4 mils not 0.5, or there's a ~20 degree cant in the scope, neither of which are true. If this video was taken at 15x, that would translate to the pellet starting 2.7 mils right on a 10x magnification, which mean I misjudged the wind by 15 mph..

Anyone know what's going on here?


PS: I'm still getting the camera focused in these clips so don't judge the quality - the scope cam is great :)

RAW TM 1000 POI changed

Hello all, last year I purchased a used RAW TM 1000. Up until this month it has been shooting like a laser. At last week’s competition, sighting in at 27 yards it is right on. At 50 yards it's supposed to be -1.5 to hit center but it ended up being -10. Same with 10 yards, my hold point was -3 now it's much more. Any ideas what caused this, could it be the regulator? Is this something I should try to fix or just send it in for an overhaul?


Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Brand New U2 Problem

Just got my new Uragan 2 600 from Krale today. Swapped the side lever over and went to fill it (it arrived empty). Air was coming out of the barrel. I took it apart somewhat and yep, air coming up through the transfer port. Obviously a valve problem. Have any of you U2 owners come across this?…….and yes, I did try filling with the gun cocked, same problem.

  • Question
Bottle regulator threads not lining up.

I have a G1 Gauntlet and want to upgrade the bottle to 4500psi. I've now mistakenly purchased two different bottles with the thread size 9f m18x1.5 instead of 5/8 18unf is this a normal problem that I just need to get an extra part for? Or is it that these paintball regulators don't fit those on purpose?

FX Impact M3 - Need help with cocking mechanism

I bought a FX Impact M3 after some research to get a high customizable airgun with good accuracy and power. It’s a .22 cal sniper model (700mm barrel).
My goal is to fire heavy slugs with great accuracy. I bought some parts to upgrade: power block, STX superior heavy liner, slug power kit, tungsten hammer weight, barrel tensioner kit and a 300 bar bottle. I did all the upgrades at once, but at the end I couldn’t cock the airgun at some high spring tension settings at the hammer; 13 and above, bellow that point everything works fine.
I tried to move the hammerseat a bit to both sides without success. By the way, I carefully place it 6.5mm from the surface (with rear macro power adjuster at 8, also did it at 1).
I also tried to adjust the trigger, both the first stage travel and the second stage break almost in every way it’s possible without success.
After that I removed the impact sprintholder and the trigger system. I was able to watch the triggersear moving while pulling the cocking lever. I noticed that with the rear macro power adjuster at the highest settings the triggerseat didn’t move while the cock lever at full back position (you can see it at two attached pictures). Can someone help with this issue? Any ideas?
I also fired a shot with the cocking lever partially open, maybe I caused some damage. If that is the case, how could I check it?
I don’t have technical assistance near me, so that is not an option.
Thank you

Counting Projectiles Per Year

The first week of a new year is a good time to start keeping track of things. I shoot several different pellets across my springers and PCP's. I shoot some slugs as well. Decided to start keeping track by pellet / slug container consumed. Curious to see how much lead I am slinging down range. Anyone else keep track of projectiles shot per year?

Every day is a gift! Aim small miss small. 🎯

Bottle won’t unscrew from gun

I have a .25 cal. Hatsan bully. I bought a new huma air regulator. When I went to install the regulator I degassed the gun and dry fired it. I can’t unscrew the bottle. Won’t even budge. Used a rubber band wrench I’m afraid I could damage the gun if I force it any further. Does anyone have any suggestions thanks for the help.

  • Question
Why did my PCP Airgun Lose Velocity At a Higher Altitude, even though all settings were the same?

I had my Impact tuned at 990fps at sea level. I went to 3000 feet and it was shooting at 965. My first thought was, the air up here is thinner, so the air in the barrel is thinner, so the slug is moving through thinner air. So shouldn’t the projectile be moving faster? The air in my bottle isn’t any thinner. My reg is at 150 bar at sea level, and it’s at 150 bar here at 3000ft. I’m clearly missing something.

I’m sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but I searched and wasn’t able to find anything discussing the physics. Feel free to send links to any discussion or articles that break it down.


**EDIT:
ADDITIONAL INFO (should have included this in original post)

Gauge Used: Huma Air 28mm Digital Gauge https://www.huma-air.com/Digital-Mini-Pressure-Gauge-for-FX-Impact-28-mm

ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS WERE MEASURED WITH a device called SENSOR PUSH https://www.sensorpush.com and the iPhone’s built in barometric sensor and GPS for elevation.

Elevation change: +3000ft

Temp Change: -8 Degrees F (60F to 53F at 3000ft)

Humidity Change: 7% (54% at sea level, 47% at 3000ft)

BP change: -3.8 inHG (30.5 inHg at sea level, 28.2 inHg at 3000)

CHRONOGRAPH: **The same chronograph: FX Pocket Radar Chrono) was used at both elevations. https://utahairguns.com/fx-pocket-chronograph/

POI CHANGE: -.75” (far zero: 50y) Point of impact decreased by about .75” at 100y, which is what I calculated would happen with that decrease in FPS, so I don’t suspect the chronograph was reading “off” at either of the elevations.

  • Question
Has anyone found that their gun shoots different slug diameters equally accurately with the same settings?

I'm trying to decide between the .217 or .218 Jav Gen 1 30gr for my Impact M3. Would appreciate any input.

I describe my experience below, but I’m just generally curious if anyone else has not found a significant difference in velocity or accuracy when switching between slug diameters, regardless of your brand of gun or slug, accessories, gun features, etc.

Is this common or rare?

I’m shooting an FX Impact M3 .22, 700mm, with heavy slug liner and carbon fiber liner sleeve and barrel tuner. Shooting Javelin Gen 1, 30gr .217 and .218 slugs at 990fps.
1st Reg: 200
2nd Reg: 150
Valve: fully open
Macro Wheel: 16
Micro Wheel: 2

I’m shooting 1” groups at 100y with both the .217 and .218 Javelin Gen 1, 30gr slugs. I often come across people reporting a dramatic difference in accuracy and velocity when changing slug diameters, but maybe thats because these people are more likely to post their “dramatic” experience.

Maverick Bottle change almost impossible!

Hi everyone, I'm new here and new to the FX Maverick.
I was wondering if anyone else has had the issue where removing or screwing on a full bottle is almost impossible?
I have been filling and removing the bottles for tuning etc for the last month with no problem, easy and smooth.
Over the last couple of days I noticed they were getting quite stiff. I checked the threads, o-rings etc and all is well.
It has reached the point where it is now not possible without serious effort.
Has anyone else experienced this or heard it happen before?
Many thanks
Ed
