    We just don't know how you do it - but be careful not to over-charge - we would hate to see you explode

    A bit like Chernobyl.

    I dug my FWB Model 2 out today and took it to the club along with a high cylinder version of the C10.

    Mike had his C20 and Ray had his low cylinder C10 so it was quite a good Feinwerkbau line-up of CO2 pistols on the range tonight.

    They really are a hugely under-rated family of match pistols that can hold their own against any PCP at 10 meters.

    I.J. = C20 = 50 ex 50.

    I eagerly await your CCL scores for October. (9 days and counting down).

    Proof indeed that the FWB CO2 pistols are very competitive and hugely under-rated - but it is a shame that Ingrid was the first to achieve a perfect score with one as we will never hear the end of it. Its bad enough listening to his never ending bragging about how much CO2 he can squeeze into an FWB cylinder and in this ( and other respects) he resembles a tramps overcoat.

    Hopefully IJ can display his prowess with his CO2 pistol at RMTC again next week - Mike keep's hitting 49's but not a 50 when shooting on the range against others in competition - but I am sure Ingrid would love to show him how it is done

    Ive shown you how its done, twice. The results are on the clubs notice board. Its very difficult to obtain 50s through streaming eyes and with cotton wool buds up your nose.

    As for CO2 filling. Its 4.30am and Im still experimenting. Ive managed a personal best of 272g on a FWB short cylinder (empty weight 225g) This was achieved by putting the cylinder into a fridge (-2 degrees) for 17.5 minutes and then filling with the cylinder pointing in a northerly direction.......

    Stop it with the 50 ex 50. It's driving me mad now.

    Last night - new (to me) CO2 toy. 4th card. 5 shots in approx 5 seconds (witnessed). O.K., so I had a bad pellet.

    Dont forget Mike. When you see the R.M.T.C. Riff Raff we have to have their scores in (MPL and CCL) by the 31st Oct. Ive got both your lots in and listed.

    You should know by now Mike that is exactly what Ingrid wants to do - drive as many people mad as possible - presumably to join him in the local asylum

    First we had the unrelenting running commentary on his CO2 cylinder filling prowess and the "personal best" records he kept breaking - and now we have the 50 ex 50 scores to contend with.

    The only good thing about the 50 ex 50 is that he cannot improve on it and so this should give us all a bit of a rest in the future.......until he start filling those blasted CO2 cylinders again
