I believed it was, but I was informed on this thread that it had been dispelled, i would like to see the actuall findings on this as I read in depth GC,s research and findings in this and I believe he run the test in a oxygen free tank so there could be no combustion and the results from my memory were that the gun lost something like 2/3rd's of its power and Gerald said to have a spring rifle at full power without relying on any form of combustion/dieseling you would need something like a 3ft long action with a massive swept volume and spring to suit?
Just what I read through.
