my short review of my impact airgun gsx200 .177

[Stu83]

pricey

[russian sniper]

£1195 worth every penny

i hope you're right with that price tag!!

How about putting up the chrono figures for the 255 shots?
Including max / min and standard deviation - so we can see how good the setup is??

you bit there moley
im impressed with that moley look's like you stabbed a hole in some cardboard with a biro

Look closely and you'll see the ink!

Hopefully see you and your new toy on nye.

I don't buy the airgun comics........

I didn't mean every shot velocity just the max / min and standard deviation over the 255 shots - its not being anal it shows how well the valve setup and regulator are working. Would be nice to know

For £1200 i'd be expecting 2fps deviation or less!!!

A quality gun I am sure...

...and boy what a bunch of glass 1/2 full, moaning, pee-on-ones fireworks people there are - blimey!

Value for money is a tough thing to measure in a gun... that it shoots accurately and consistently are clear priorities. How it shoots, it feels, its put together - these are other measures. At the end of the day it's the purchaser who makes the call.

...and with respect but some of the "nicest" guns I have owned don't make for good chrono sheets buts still out-shoot most people most of the time!

Of course YMMV.

Prefer the original rapid and there prices

i'll see if a good friend of mine will let me use his skan chrono

[russian sniper]

Why not post the chrono results you have done already???

Shot to shot consistency is a foundation to good accuracy as long as the barrel is good and pellets are of a consistant weight, size and shape.

Look forward to seeing the results

I doubt even the very best of us shoot good enough in real world conditions to notice +/- 20fps extreme spread although I do agree that its a measure (but not the only one) of the precision of the build.

[russian sniper]

I'm interested to know how well its setup.....

My fn12 .177 has a SD of 2.4fps with pellets straight out of the tin, and that's with an 86cc reservoir and no regulator.

Thanks but that's just 10 shots in its sweet spot, what about the rest over the whole charge?

[russian sniper]

Haven't got round to that yet - even over 10 shots you can see that everything is working together and in balance.
The FN12 does have a power curve due to being unregulated and having such a small reservoir. So all things being equal a gun with a regulator and large reservoir - should be better - yes???
