Huge air consumption with FX Impact .30 caliber

[schoofsbock]

Hi dears, Im amazed about the air consumption of my Impact. No, its not leaking. When I fill the bottle to 250 bar, the pressure rises to 200 bar after 9 pitifully shots …
Of course the hammerspring is set to Max and the valve is opened to 3,5 stripes, but … is that normal ?

No I got 40 plus shots out of mine. No leaks. I had to send it back to AOA because it got a leak once but was fine after that.

1. What's your regulator pressure?
2. What's you're valve set at?
3. You already mentioned power wheel set at 5
4. We'll need to see a shot string (ave, ES, SD).
   [/LIST=1]

1. 140 bar
2. As described, 3,5
3. Yes
4. Ughhhh, don`t have


However, something seems to be wrong with my Impact ;(

This may be a long shot but maybe the barrel needs to be cleaned?

Please try and shoot the gun over a chronograph and let us know your velocity. How many shots do you get by the time the needle on the gauge shows 140bar? SOmetimes the gauges on the rifle maybe inaccurate. 

Fill your gun to 250 bar. make sure you let the bottle cool down between fills, but the pressure should 250bar
shoot your gun until you have reached 140 bar...count how many shots you got
shoot your gun over a chronograph, tell us your speed
check your barrel locking indent is correctly aligned with the barrel lock screw
