    How powerful are the Rohm series?

    I'm thinking of getting a Rohm, of some description, that I can alternate between CO2 and Air for shooting comps. My thinking is that a) their quite accurate, b) cheap and c) cover both discaplines in one go. Something like the Action model with the optional air add on, and it being 8 shot so can use in PPC

    But how powerful are they? Cant seem to find the specs anywhere?

    Anyone shed some light on this? I'm probably gonna ditch the Beretta and keep the HW45, Anics A3003 and the Rohm. Then I just need to get a HW40 and I'm sorted , although the strife wont see it that way

    Running on CO2... about 350 fps using 8-shot mag. and about 75 fps more using single shot adaptor (runs closer tolerances in chamber) so about 2˝~3 ft/lbs

    Mine runs about 3.5ftlb which is fine out to 20m.

    Above 2 guys on compressed air I guess???

    and interesting as without modification as Adam77k's certainly the twinmasters are only rated at 425 fps by the factory which puts it a smidgen over 3 ft/lbs
    the sport is rated a little higher at 495 fps which is a little over 4 ft/lbs

    The Sport is noticeably more powerful than the Action, especially if you like to shoot tin cans with expensive pistols. Guilty!

    So are the Action and Trainer C02s rated around 425fps/3ftlb then?

    Mine is the Twinmaster Top; bought off the BBS a couple of years ago it was only doing around 2.2
    I tried stripping the reg and putting it back together, and then it did 2 ft.lbs.

    So I sent it off to Phil Hassell and when it came back it did a much more respectable figure.

    edit: mine is PCP of course.

    Using the mag. (rather than the single shot adaptor) the trainer is rated at 360 fps.
    The action will be the same....
    (a lot of sites incorrectly cite the same fig's as the PCP's)

    The Top and Allrounder's are rated at 425 fps on compressed air and I guess the Allrounder would produce similar figures to the trainer when running on CO2
