They usually are smoother to shoot slightly over 12Ftp (13Ftp or something). I later shot a tuned FAC HW98 (ok Maccari kit but still) but that indeed was much smoother to shoot than my 12Ftp so Steve was probably right.
Sold it in the end.
Low power doesnt always means smoother. I have 7.5J Dianas that shoot as 'rough'as a 12FTp
