    160 mps equates to 4.8ish ftlbs.

    I would suggest that to get anything like 17J out of that length of barrel in .177 with co2 is going to involve changing the laws of physics.

    Beware of buying from Eastern Europe a load of guys on the custom crosman site did a group purchase, and that was the last of their money they saw.

    That's a cautionary tale for certain, it's always going to be one of those "is it worth a punt" gambles, but with these prices all that is needed is for to people that have risked it to share their individual experience and we could all benefit - after all you would think a shop would love the opportunity of getting a big chunk of business thrown their way.

    I'm not saying it's 17j, it's likely the polish site has made a cockup with that figure and was meant to be 7j possibly? Even still, 160m/s is a lot for .22 in a pistol format, hopefully that figure is based on using very light pellets

    Edit: apologies, your 160m/s was referring to .177
