I skimmed through again, and read your first comment, I must have missed it the first time. My first perusal of this announcement discussion left me with the general sense that everybody was a wanting oodles more power.
But yep yep, 27-34fpe in a .22 is still on the somewhat low end of power, as I rate them. But it's also a pretty saturated market. For years most .22 PCPs were right there.
Most of my PCPs are set up for AAfTA, so just shy of 20fpe. My first <12fpe PCP came after numerous 18-19fpe guns and made lots of smiles.
Realistically, even in the US where power is not regulated by the powers that be, tons of airgunners are living in a subdivision with 30 yards in the back yard. Ie, <12 fpe is what would actually be most appropriate for MANY of us.
I read of guys loading up to go shoot at the range and just feel sad for them. If shooting airguns as a hobby (not competition) meant I was loading up to go to a range, I'd find a different hobby.
So I feel there's a market for decent <12 fpe airguns, even in the US, so long as guys can quit their
measuring, when it comes to how much fpe their new toy is producing.
