the most powerful air pistol i ever
was a diana sp50
it was more powerful than my mates GAT loaded the same but mine could fire a dart through a coalhouse door
had i had a crono it would have shown loads of power better than anything available today
it took loads and loads of pusth to load it
I like the HW45, mines .177 and is doing 5.3 ftlbs with Rws Superfeild, but why the power thing! accuracey is way more important. One of the most accurate pistols I have is Hammerli Master co2 match pistol, 1973 model , with RWS Gecos its easily as accurate as some modern match pistols. Another more basic fave is my Crossman SP250 co2 in both .20 and .177(interchangeable barrels) designed for silouete shooting, )still looking for the .22 barel). Its, what works for you, so any pistol thats accurate for me.
Regarding dual power features: far from being a gimmick, it enables you to keep the same zero point for different ranges...
Something like the Alecto, with 3 power levels and a flippable front sight, could potentially shoot at point blank over a very wide distance...after you've done your homework of course.
I have Tau 7 Co2 target pistol.It has adjustable power from under 2 fpe to over 5 fpe depending on whether you want power or shot count,and it hits where you aim.Looks a bit weird but that's character.
Nice.
In the case of the HW this would involve nearly running it dry I had 2 and if either so much as sniffed an oily rag the first few shots looked like they were old SAA colt's....
If power really is the be all for you then for I'd plump for CO2 power in the shape of the extremely customisable 22xx model, I've still got my custom one long after the HW's have gone.
my crosman 2240shoots at 4.5ftlb over the club chrono.
it went with such a bang, at first we were worried it might be over 6ftlb.
it groups quite well too. for a fifty quid gun.
i am the master of suspense;but?
