.22vs.25vs.30cal

I know that AEA's "thing" seems to be big power and semi's but this test isn't done at the usual speeds people shoot to get good accuracy, namely 850-950fps, with pellets. The 950fps is usually just for the .22 mrd's, the others around 900. The other thing is the close range testing. Mass carries, it makes a difference when the bullet really hits something at the range it's being used at, like 100y for hunting. I appreciate that you took the time to do what you did, all data is good. It would probably though be a lot more interesting if shot at the speed that most people shoot these calibers at, at the actual distance they use them. I don't think that the results would look much different at pieces of wood but I know reaction targets really move when hit with the big .30 at 100y and beyond. Lastly, you shot the .25 34gr pellet over the sound barrier (1141fps). Who would want to do that? Nobody that knows what they're doing, or that spent money on a supressor, that's for sure. jmo

thanks for watching my video and writing me comment, you are absolutely correct about the speed , I normally shoot all these calibers around 900 and 950 fps , just for this penetration test I made the challenger pro and the .22 cal bull pup max out , just to show the power of air guns , not just AEA , because I think FX got more power than AEA or Huber K1 is very power full too and more accurate but AEA is affordable

Understood. Power is always second place to accuracy though, penetration too, because with air it's mostly headshots or targets anyway. I will say this, your intro in the video almost made me not watch it, but I can still manage to be curious at times. Everybody starts somewhere and you put in the time to put together the video, so I always support people getting into the sport from whatever angle they come. This is a great hobby too, have fun with it.
