    They are an acquired taste but the muzzle velocity of my .177 240 is a very healthy 500+ fps. This is higher than my HW45 and Diana P5, although these pistols are easier to shoot accurately. I love my 240 pistol though, it reminds me a bit of my Sterling HR83 rifle; in as much as typical English quirky engineering

    JB told me that the secret behind good power and soft shooting with the 240 was correct adjustment of the breech seal
