Question about Rapid Mk.2 on 40 ft/lbs

[COROVICD]

- Will the air pressure of 40 ft/lbs deform standard .22 AA Fields in Rapid Mk2.
- Will standard .22 AA Fields shoot accuratelly at 40 ft/lbs.
- How loud is silenced 40 ft/lbs FAC Rapid Mk.2

cheers, Dejan

At 40 ft lb you should probably use Bismags. Mine is set ot 35ft lb and I get around 70 shots using Bismags. I avoided the maximum power level to improve shots per fill. At that level I think you might find the AA pellets distorting but there is only one way to find out-use them! Any problems, turn the power down.
Good luck in using a FANTASTIC rifle.

Power rifle down? Can one change FAC Rapid's power just like that? I thought that power level is set in factory and can not be changed.

40ftlb is a waste of air on the MKII, reduce it to 30ftlb with Bismags or use AA Field/JSB Exacts which will be around 28ftlb and if the barrel "likes" them they are very efficient

My 34ft/lb was a 40ft/lb, the shop took out a spring and that lowered the output (thats what he told me anyway),it's now running at about 34ft/lb using AA Fields (5.51). My barrel likes the AA's & groups really well but not had the chance to see what its like in the field.

Can somebody more competent confirm the spring thing ?

How loud is it, with Vertex silencer? Is it much louder than 12 ft/lbs?

My rapid mk11 is doing 28.7ftlb using bis mags .22, 90 full power shots and accurate to really long ranges,50,60 and 70 yds tested,wont group well in any other pellet,tried quite a few and thats what this one like's,but to find what your gun like's and dont like you will have to carry out tests,cause I can adjust power from 26 up to 32ftlb and found this level make's gun run like clockwork,lovely, could'ent ask for more,deadly accurate.
