Hello. It seem that there is a lot of people (mostly form Europe) that are not following my advice on the setup of K1. I have received a lot of questions about this. From what I have seen form these few videos, all of you are trying to shoot very high power with extremely low pressure. I did not see a problem with and of the K1 in these videos. Surprisingly, K1 actually pushes the extremely heavy JSB Beast at energy close to 100 joules at those low pressures (120 - 130 bars) but it is not efficient. The physics does not allow it to be efficient as the valve has to be opened to the very end, when the pellets leaves the barrel to achieve these high power. This makes the gun very loud and if you live in an area with high humidity, you will get condensation or even ice on the end of the shroud. If you want to shoot at 100 joules, you HAVE TO set the pressure to 150 - 170 bars (I would recommend 170 bars) and then turn the power fully down and increase it until you get the desired velocity. The set velocity must be at least about 10 m/s lower as it would be if you opened the power wheel fully at that pressure, otherwise it will not be efficient. If you do not reach desired velocity by setting it to 10 m/s lower than max. velocity at that pressure, then you need to increase the pressure in order to do so.
I seems that a lot of people don't understand the physics behind this, so I will probably make a video explaining this and also some demonstration.
Hope this helps
