I just know how terrible NYC is with guns. God forbid you're travelling and have a layover at LaGuardia or Kennedy with something not approved by NY and you dont have a NY firearms permit, they're so draconian with it. They frequently arrest people for that and they end up on Rikers island. Both sides of my family had roots in NY. I don't understand the ones who still live in NYC and long island. They come south and act like they're in heaven. Then bitch about the taxes, the laws, the people but they'll never leave.

Yeah… I am not sure yet what I am going to about it looks-wise. It feels awesome to be honest (but so do ARs…) but I kinda want to make it more obvious that it’s an airguns… like big gauges, maybe a big ass FX Airguns sticker on the tube or something like that…

For public land or out Pesting where I may be seen i have a blaze orange buckrail moderator that says "AIRGUN". You can also wrap the tube with orange ribbon. with tank guns "AIRGUN"bin black letters on a neoprene tank sleeve.

Been thinking about getting a larger diameter can just to make the lettering more prevalent

I saw mention of the Mora putting out 50 fpe . What about the new DRST .177 putting out 40 fpe with a 600mm barrel and costing under $1100 ? Seems like enough for slugs . I think FX should have an option for a heavy liner with the fpe it makes .

I think they do or are you just referring to 600mm?

The heavy 177 is the same 1:18 twist as the 177 superior. The only difference is the groove depth and choke i think

Yeah power wise it could I guess but I think people would be annoyed with the shot count. Makes sense to me that they market it as a pellet gun. Actually I appreciate that they don’t try to push it to pure slug shooters and are honest for a change :)

It seems like it would push 13gr slugs at speed without breaking a sweat. If I get 30-40 shots I'm totally fine . Both my Taipans get 60 shots with a small air resavore . I mainly pest and hunt and it's easy for me to refill when needed. No shooting gallery here for me .

Yes the 600mm is the one that interests me . I saw the fx King has a 600mm heavy if I remember correctly. No choke or less choke is what I'm mainly after . My Vet compact shoots 10gr slugs very well at 18fpe with plenty of expansion. I realize they have the same twist and I'm not looking for a heavy .177 slug shooter I'm fine with the lighter slugs.

Viking Airgunner released a video, he said he was getting 75ish shots while shooting the heavy JSB pellets (.177) around 905fps with the reg at 90b. I believe it's the 500mm but can't tell.

Well 75 shots at 18fpe is pretty good.

Yeah for sure! Reg at 90bar is pretty decent! I may try at some point but I’d expect efficiency to go south exponentially once you hop it though. If I’d push the .22 to say 50fpe I don’t think I’d get more than 20ish shots. But in the end that’s just guessing, I am sure soon we’ll know cause someone will try to:)

The first shot from the gum came at 921 feet per second and then jump to 900 and then 888 and 890 905 920. I adjusted the hammer back one turn and it tightened up to 10 feet per second spread. I adjusted it another turn. And it settled between 898 and 902 max across 9 shots. But at that point I can't put on the stock lol. So I bled all the air out, and once I get home again, I will pull the. Regulator out again and give it one fifth of a turn up. That should put me around 960fps with the 16gr. From messing with prior U2's 10-12b is about a 30fps increase/decrease. Accuracy was not bad, but I wasn't shooting off a bench. @RabbitofCaerbannog

Try the barrel band from the guy at eBay they make them for the uragan 2 .. is a night n day difference I'm able to shoot 18gr. 177 Slugs with the same flawless accuracy as the Nielsen 15gr .. is like shooting a taipan.

I just looked it up, I had never seen a barrel band for this gun.

Who's .177 18gr slugs are you shooting?

This one?
