Just one question. Could the usual power level of 10m guns have anything to do with the fact that the German power limit for air guns is around 6 ftlb? 10m is mostly a German sport (something do do with occuping powers not allowing firearms after the war and a British officer suggesting: so go shoot an airgun).

I don't think so Alan because the German 7.5 joules power limit came into force on 1st January 1970 and 10m guns had already been made in large numbers for 15 years or more to shoot with velocities of 500-600fps.
