Western Airguns Rattler 357 and 45

[caliusoptimus]

Anyone have some concrete info on the new rattler 45? I ask because I have a deposit down on a 357 and just found out the 45 is coming.... would be a total bummer if I buy the 357 and the 45 makes more energy and similar shot count.

Side question: any idea if there's a way to make the rattler handle 300bar in the tank?

Both of those sound like bad news for air guns. Here comes the regulation!

I'm keeping my eye on it. I imagine the .45 will make more energy than the .357, but I bet the magazine will not hold anywhere near 15 shots. 6 shots would put it on par with the highest capacity big bores in the industry, anything more is bonus. If that's the case, I would be very surprised if each shot makes over 500 FPE. I'm guessing it'll be more in the 400 FPE range but we'll have to wait and see.
