    Why FAC incidentally? 12ftlbs will job with squirrels and crows. The power selector may make more sense at FAC levels I suppose. I have a standard compatto in 12ftlbs, good gun. There have been fill valve issues with mine and others especially the early models, all sorted under warranty. No issues since, nice accurate gun and good value in my view.

    It's not really a question of power. You'll need a head shot so the practical limit is around 50m at which the target is already becoming too small to hit with any certainty. With a rimmy you can (I guess) still take H/L shot for a larger target.
