Slide-action CO2 Carbine Umarex RP5

Think you have it there....check out my last post on UBC. Some encouraging news..but a conundrum as well!

Ive had a good look/pause at the airgungear review.
There is no German F mark on the test gun so it is a UK spec model and should be doing 160 ms according to Umarex.
Thats 524.934 fps.

My pistol manual does indicate that flathead pellets with a maximum length of 9mm (22) should be used.

I should add that I am pleased with the power and performance of my .177 pistol but no chrono as yet.

There is the pistol.

A carbine kit which is the pistol dressed up.

And the Carbine rifle.

Just to add to the ? over power.

All most confusing...there is a guy on another site who is getting 8ftlb out of his .22 carbine, but experiences a power drop whe he puts his mod on it down to 5ftlb and is getting clipping. Could just be the mod itself unless the threading is off centre.

All models have a choked barrel which might be relevant.

Indeed...spotted mention of that on the video. Was already planning to use German pellets initially.

It's fun to shoot. A couple of people at my club have the carbine; they were reckoning about 7.5fpe. One of them found the pump action a bit sticky and was getting jams but it could have been the temperature or the fact it was brand new and needs a few more shots through it.

7.5 sounds about right for the carbine version.

Anyone else who has bought the carbine model? If so can you confirm barrel length. Mine came with a 30cm barrel and am trying to work out if this is right or not
