they will all make 6 fp. I prefer them a fraction under, as they can be tough to cock for an extended plinking session, and they shoot nicer that way.
.22 are much smoother - it's a 28mm comp tube, so that's to be expected.
Is there any thread here on the forum for all things about the BSA Scorpion pistol? If there is, please tell me.
As a "new" Scorpion is about to turn up here soon, I am looking for all kinds of info on this gun, and as ususal, I have loads of questions!
Which features separate the different Mk's?
And what velocity can one expect in the different calibers?
What are the dimensions of the main spring?
Does anyone have experience with different springs?
I have of course read Jimmie Dee's excellent tutorial:

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
jimmy dee's strip down tutorial is outstanding. well done jimmy.
You might want to consider taking the next three issues of Airgun World for a historical detailed study of the BSA Scorpion pistol.
There will also be a follow up on the Shadow Carbine.

The last one I stripped had the obligatory seized buffer and a mainspring like a dog's hind leg.
With the action vertical a few minutes with the hot air gun saw a smoking lump drop out.
A used airsporter spring was cut down to the same number of coils and the end refinished, together with a replacement washer kindly supplied by that man in north wales and an air con. O ring.
The end product produced a consistent 430fps plus with superdomes.

I owned a Venom Tuned one back in the day. I wonder what happened to that? Mach 1.5
