I want to increase the fps of my rifle by at least 100 fps. I'm curious if a heavier hammer and spring will help me get to my goal or is itsomething unatainable with a short barreled rifle.
Airforce Talonp
- Thread starter rctk1
- Start date
Current weight of pellet was 34 grain heavier shooting at 767 fps. I'm currently maxed out on the wheel. I also have a huben regulator set at 165 mpa. I may try going up to 190. To see if it's going to make a difference.

Try removing the regulator and test for speed. You can always install and you just may like it off.

Quite simple:
Take your Talon, throw it to the waste basket and buy a newer technology.
Keeping an Airforce PCP other than as an antique is like having a Ford T and questioning how to have driving assistance on it.

I have a several of the "newer technology " airguns. But instead of having a ford model t. A talon is more like a jeep if there are mods for it then why not turn it from a daily driver into something more enjoyable.

Not sure I would take this advice. My Air Force guns have been some of the most reliable and powerful in my collection.
Unless you're shooting .177 don't think a regulator makes sense on an AF gun with a short barrel. I have a 25 talon p, have tried a regulator on it and it just didn't have adequate plenum volume to get the speed up regardless of the pressure. I feel like the platform really performs well unregulated and once you get an 18 inch barrel. I was finding the 12 inch to be a little under powered but mainly because I was casting my own projectiles which were on the heavy side.

I just shot my bone stock TalonP, .25 cal. with JSB King Heavy MkII, (34.2 gr. actual weight), power setting 8. Five shot avg. 849fps. My gun is set to shoot 25gr. JSB @ 919fps avg.
