silly question

[Asbestos]

Happy Easter fellas... got a stupid question that's been bugging me. Are there any adverse effects to running a PCP rifle at minimum power? I have an Impact M3 that I've turned down pretty low for an indoor 'range' I have in the basement.
Will running these high performance guns turned way down cause excessive wear on any parts. I've read that you can destroy a Ferrari like that.

Good question. I can't think of anything that would increase wear beyond normal use.

A Ferrari is an entirely different animal. Extremely tight mandatory maintenance schedule and a total PITA to own.

no, the UK runs sub 12 fpe for non FAC guns and you're probably running more than that, you should be good

thanks guys... I didn't really think so but these things are funny. Given the cost of the guns, it seems even sillier NOT to ask. As always, I appreciate the help.

That is the actual purpose of the adjustable settings in the FX rifles. Tune them for different purposes. You will be good to go.

dont see a problem with that.

lower reg pressure = more shots

No such thing as a stupid question mate

I don't imagine that you'll damage a rifle by reducing the power - for an indoor range, it's probably best to err on the side of caution.

We used to shoot pigeons in a cow shed at 6ftlb so that we didn't put pellets through the roof.
