I am in the same boat as you are, warm ups don't help, one hour of shooting does, after that the scores are very good. This is a consistent observation over hundreds of sessions. In January I've finished two sessions with a 99 in AP in the last series. So I start off every session shooting something...

yes, I've seen them on air rifles. The ball joint is simply to rotate the shoe, after you've found your position, you tighten it and it doesn't move

nope, the velocities, pressure and temperature are too small. I've heard of old .22 short pistols that have millions put through them (club guns from 50 years ago). .22lr is probably already a different story. Copper plated rifle rounds are yet another level again. Tank barrels only hold out a few h...

don't know anything about texas, but having 5on5 team 10m competitions would be awesome, which requires 10 lanes.

Thanks, I will try it with hydrogen then!

I heard this happens when a bullet gets stuck in the barrel and then you fire another one. This (I heard) happens often to people who load their own ammo and don't load with enough gun powder (by mistake). Another would be using .357 in a .38 gun, I'm not sure it's physically possible though since I...

no, it's more of a function of ambient light. During summer one usually sets the TV brighter to compensate the extra light from sun. Otherwise the image's too dark. But in the evening, that extra brightness makes the TV too bright.

I shot my last competition on meyton and it was waaay to bright

I just calculated that the energy of the gas inside a fully filled cylinder at 200bar is 0.00359kg TNT equiv. A typical hand grenade has 0.0150kg TNT. So, 3.59g vs 150g TNT the blast wave of a typical hand grenade is very weak, it needs to be within a few inches from you to kill you, from one meter ...

I of course see it, but you just drill a hole with a cnc milling machine, that's it.
Thanks for the information on the seals!

they look identical to my eyes

don't use oils in airguns, at all. Use grease for moving parts, food grade silicone grease for o-rings, for the surface use something like ballistol, it's very light and water soluble, not gonna clog up anything. Feinwerkbau grease, ballistol I used everywhere (LP10, LP1, Walther guns, FWB 65, Morin...

ask Steyr about the cylinder thickness... I'm curious if it's dangerous (they will know) also, the gauge is not dangerous at all, if it fails, it will just hiss for a few seconds. For explosion you'd need the metal to rupture. This will only happen on the side of the cylinder, because as you'd see i...

webcam, a tripod, 12m usb cable extension, laptop

the reason is that most people already have some of these things. Fast to set up, cheap... Wouldn't work in a club where lots of people shoot, they may not let you go to the targets

I happen to have all of these things

I agree the force needed to pump is greater than feinwerkbau 100-103 and the build quality feels "raw", looks a bit like raw aluminum in certain places, but the balance, the factory grip and the trigger are very nice, especially the trigger is very smooth and scratch-free

there are always compact pistols in women's world cup finals, there was one recently in the last one in New Delhi, an athlete from India had a Morini Short. I understand it's more of a weight thing

as you increase the v linearly there may be sweet spots, groups may become small, then open up, then close again until they open up once more once the speed is too high. there's a pdf in a link of a British website somebody gave you in the other thread. Yes, for each pellet weight you need to adjust...

the most important is to keep your shoulder and wrist in zero positions. It's a neutral position from which the hand and your arm don't want to wander off. It's easy to find the zero position of the wrist, much harder for the shoulder because here you need the whole body to work. Most of the time, y...

there are online sites for that, like surveymonkey

hahaha :D like Jin Jong Oh in 2009 in air pistol? :D Ekimov took 1st.

looks identical to the FP60, just only the shape of the trigger guard and the muzzle compensator, other than that every hole, the rear sight are identical, the barrel seems shorter. Maybe they added some of that KK500 magic?
