I had the same problem with a CO2 FWB at the gun check at a recent competition. The trigger pull was less than 500g on dry fire but with a gas cylinder attached and firing with a charge, it passed.

I never thought of it this way, that the trigger behavior is different on dry fire mode. Not happy.

I'll try using a ice mat for the next few matches and see how that goes. It sounds like CO2 and the Australian summer don't agree with each.

Gas problem with FWB C25

Hi there, I'm a new shooter and have recently purchased a Feinwerkbau C25 as my first AP. My scores have leapt and have continued to improve steadily each time I have used. I guess this means based upon my standard of competence, the pistol suits me. Yesterday I competed in my first competition. I t...
