These are all 50-53 shot groups. Basically one full magazine each. They were all shot scoped and from a tripod just to get an idea of the potential accuracy of the gun. One group was shot with copperheads the others with blaster. Any accuracy difference between them seems minimal, but I feel the blaster is a bit better.

Minute of can at 15Y. It's just a BB gun so precision isn't it's strength but I bet it's fun nevertheless. Just shoot targets appropriate to it's capability.

I might buy one later this summer.

I’ve shot a lot of groups like this with a lot of BB guns and none of them are very accurate past 10 yards. The 400E is actually considerably better than most. The thing to do with them is to shoot them offhand at 10 yards or less. I only benchrest or shoot them from a tripod to demonstrate that there is no human error involved.

I’m still really curious about what a Daisy 499B is capable of, but it’s one of those things where I just want to satisfy my curiosity and see just how accurate BB’s can be. Once I’ve done that I can’t see myself shooting a 220 fps muzzleloading BB gun much when I’ve got guns like the R7 that will shoot tiny groups at 30 yards.

My wife saves the dog food cans so I like to put them on sawhorses from 7 to 10Y to see how fast I can knock them off.

Same here I'll just shoot my ProX if I want to shoot fast with precision while stretching the distances.

nice... I've found the 400e to be substantially better in accuracy than other BB guns I've had. It's a fun gun for sure. My only issue with it is that it really does shoot forever between charges and by then, I've forgotten what settings to use on my charger and have to dig around the net. Would think I'd get smart and write that down. Maybe next time...
