More display of continuous ignorance.

My Huben is at 70 FPE and I don't even fill to the max capacity nor completely powered it up others have it up in the 80s and 90s FPE, that is over double then the Viper .30 lobbying those .30 cal pellets,.....just because the pellet caliber is nominally bigger means absolutely nothing, zero.

And yeah the Huben is way slimmer and lighter, doesn't look like a brick,....not to be forgotten the grip is way closer to the bore and that is HUGE on a pistol not being top heavy.

Bro i believe Nate is too far gone in Evanix fantasy land. It's plain and simple math and the proof is in the pudding or the ballistic gel i should say. The Huben is so so above on every level in comparison. When a company throws free stuff your way i guess it effects a persons ability to see the truth AND tell the truth. Its ashame its so hard to get some honest reviews because here in Missouri its near impossible to handle these guns before ya buy them. I joined this forum years ago to get honest opinion and feedback. Dont disrespect the lot of us by putting up nonsense on a gun that is plainly struggling to keep up with the no# 1 GK1

And these YouTubers who keep peddling air guns as self defense really needs to stop

To be fair.. that is on Evanix. They themselves promoted the Viper as a self-defense or "deterrent" gun. Reviewers are parroting that.

But yeah, Im kinda tired of biased reviews. It's rare to see honest and balanced breaksdowns nowadays. No airgun is perfect, and their flaws should be highlighted. If not, it just screams "im getting paid to say this".

The Viper .30 caliber PCP sounds pretty intriguing! I had a similar experience with my pit viper 9mm. I was on the lookout for a new piece and ended up getting the pit viper because of its solid performance and feel. The review videos helped me a lot in making that decision. If the .30 caliber PCP is anything like my pit viper, it should be a great choice.

Holy crap. You bought a $7500 pistol? Nice! I'm planning to drop up to $40,000 on a NFA machine gun in the next couple years. Why not right?

"The US Armed Forces said in WW2 that 36 FT. Lbs of energy in a round was lethal."
www.quora.com

How many foot pounds of energy does it take to be fatal to a human?

Answer (1 of 10): This question is unclear: 1. It is unclear if this question is asking for the minimum amount of energy that can kill a human, or if it is about the maximum amount of energy that a human can tolerate in some way. 2. It is unclear what forms of energy the questioner is considerin...

I'm not one of those. Evanix requested that I say that. We don't use airguns for self defense in the USA. Even talking about that can get you kicked off AGN. If I pushed airguns as SD on my channel I would be fired. That's Macabespeed your thinking of.

Also, no exaggerations in my video. The .30 Viper got 13 shots per fill. I showed 10 shots. All distances were real and all shooting was done on the first take. Chrono included. Those really were my first 10 shots out of the box.

It is tuned for 30.5 foot pounds, but you can turn it up. The 36 foot pounds was a brain fart. Patriots told me 32 ft originally. I got confused with 36 when I read the Army stats. By the time I remembered it was 32 the video was already done. Evanix wanted it completed post haste. I got the gun and made the video in about 3 days. So the foot pounds thing was a mistake, not intentional.

I always screw up at least one fact per video. You guys know that. But I don't think I exaggerate the capabilities of any of the guns. I only film when there is no wind. (as in 0-3 MPH of wind).

What is an exaggeration is FX rifles killing birds and getting millions of views. Hitting a 4-6 inch bird at any distance is pretty easy. No one shows FX rifles hitting the bullseye. I guess they don't have too since the Impact wins all the competitions....but can a normal person do that with an Impact? or do you need a team of techs to tune your gun? (and a $2000 scope).

OK...I love FX by the way. Just got my M3 re-blocked and re-sealed by Utah Airguns. I'm about to shoot 5000 rounds through it. Skout vs Impact videos will be coming too.

According to historical information, the US Armed Forces during World War II considered a bullet with around 36 foot-pounds of energy to be potentially lethal, meaning it could cause serious injury or death upon impact with a human body; however, this number is considered outdated and modern estimations place the "lethal" energy level higher, around 59 foot-pounds or more depending on the circumstances.

I've been binge watching "Spy Ops" on Netflix and the Mossad has been going around murdering people with .22 caliber rimfires for years now. So I believe the US Army's original statistic of "36 foot-pounds of energy" being lethal is true...
