I noticed the velocity is listed as 1300 ft/sec. That's...unreal.
Does this gun really fire at 886 mph?
That's faster than the speed of sound!

It's probably a tad under that, but the stealth/talon type rifles are known for their high performance thanks to an extremely efficient inline valve - coupled with a long barrel I don't think the specs quoted are too off the mark. Remember though that manufacturers/enterpreneurs (particularly in the US where velocity sells) do tend to use unrealistically light projectiles (whose weight they do not quote in their brochures) in order to be able to advertise the highest possible velocity.

Can't possibly be true, everyone knows that a pcp can't discharge pellets at supersonic speeds!Originally Posted by active1x0

Check out this link for the New Condor (U.S. Stealth derivative)
A full 1300fps!!!!! When are they selling them over here

I'll take a risk
Those in 'the know' can get rather remarkable velocities from the Stealth (so I heard)

Mmmm, ive seen Rapids break the sound barrier in .22 with 21.5+gr.everyone knows that a pcp can't discharge pellets at supersonic speeds!
And an Engineer, known to us both Jon, made a "test rig" that fired .22 Magnum's at 1300fps....a little noisy in his Workshop!
Who you callin a vegetable ?
Dont ya just love stealths!
As the advert states
POWER IS NOTHING WITHOUT CONTROL
now where is that barn door.

Sorry, but if this gun really does achieve a 1300 feet/second velocity, that's slightly faster than Mach 1.2, and it is indeed supersonic.
Very interesting. How accurate are these things? What's the range?

My fault, it's probably a little too old to remember, was just havin a little fun.
