Hysterical? I don't recall being hysterical. I agree "some" cylinders have been tested to "way above" their useful pressure. I would posit that every cylinder is not taken up to this test pressure. It is a design and test pressure only. I defy any engineer to then tell you that ...

I can't believe I am reading these comments folks. If you want to kill yourselves or others then go ahead and fill a 200b air rifle cyclinder with a 300b bottle and no regulator. The danger of inadvertently overfilling by a sudden inflow of air and then having to quickly empty it.........More impor...

You don't need a regulator at all. Even with a 300 bar bottle to a 200 bar cylinder on your gun. All you do is connect, open the tank up slowly, watch the needle on your gauge go up to 200. Close the tank. If you have a screw-on cylinder like most 10m gear does, then unscrew, if you have a fly lead ...

Rob Surely if you applied for an FAC for an over 12 ft air lbs rifle (if you don't mind the hassle!) then put the under one on the ticket, I'm sure there would be no lower limit on power of an FAC rifle? Then you could get an EFP. Lot of hassle and over beaucratic but surely possible. Robin Ha, wel...

No worries. It's hard to judge on the net sometimes, but i've seen many people struggle with breathing then hang on while they go looking for the target once they have it sorted.

how are you testing?

Rob It is a problem when they are not F marked. You could always get an FAC for them! I'm sure you'd love to do that! The EFP does smooth the way though, I'm surprised the local Firearms dept if you have an EFP would not add non FAC guns such as air on as they may be restricted in some EU countries...

So, the prevailing SB coaching and training seems to be, breath to oxygenate, exhale until neutral or comfortably empty, aim, shoot. Just a small point... shooters shouldn't be aiming. You check your aim is on. It's a check not a movement. Your sights should be on target by your position and if you...

We travel through Europe, Holland, Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, and most normal EU countries have no interest in air guns as long as they are F in a pentagon marked as non FAC which all target guns are. Sorry Robin, but they are not all marked F. Only those deemed to me manufactured for 10m, ...

As far as I have been told by my FEO, you cannot obtain an EFP for a rifle which cannot be placed on an FAC. No FAC, no EFP. However, european countries often dont require an EFP for rifles below 6ft-lb, so this may not affect you. In my discipline, FT, we use sub 12ft-lb rifles but they are over 6....

Yeh, but at least we dont need a firearms license for a sub 12ft-lb PCP airgun eh ;) Not yet we don't Rob, not yet.... ;) Rob. For juniors it would be a darn sight easier if we did. When my daughter's FAC comes through (touch wood) she will be allowed to own a .22 and ammunition. She's still 3 year...

In 1971 my parents made the decision to move my family from England to New Zealand. Thank god they did. I look at my cousins back there an compare my life to theirs and wonder if they realise how poorly off they are. Yeh, but at least we dont need a firearms license for a sub 12ft-lb PCP airgun eh ...

Good shooting.
Robin

Remember that's the foresight, allows the rear to be a tad higher ;)

I'd go with that as well :)

how does your inner position feel in comparison to when you stopped... ie what made you stop? It suggests there is a difference between when you stopped and started, which could lead you to think about what could be happening.

What happens if you take a dry shot?

regs can be checked with a reg checker, else it could be seals on the rifle.

it shouldnt need a new reg, you can have them rebuilt/reset if you know the right man.

hmm... it doesn't really work like that. the muzzle velocity of a pellet will vary due to it's efficiency in a barrel as much as it's weight, a 7.9gn pellet can fly at the same speed as an 8.4gn pellet in some cases... but before you jump up and say "ahah" the difference in energy is tiny ...

why would lighter pellets give less muzzle flip?

what do they do if you don't have a gauge?
