Taipan Veteran Shorty .22 shot string with Veteran Standard .25 shot string

Yeah it's really a great gun. These newer ones are even better. Better shot count, newly designed regulator, anti double load feature that even if you decock the gun with a pellet inside it won't cycle the magazine when you recock it to fire. It's awesome! And accuracy is great! Soon hope to do the same Chrony test on my .25 standard and also do shot groups at 50yds with both.

I've had 3 Taipans. One Mutant Standard .22 which I sold to fund the .25 Veteran Standard and then recently got the .22 Veteran Shorty. Between them all I don't think I could choose which is more accurate. All have been easily capable of sub MOA at 50yds for me. All have been very efficient with air also. Can't recall the reg set point on the Mutant but for the Veterans the .25s are at 150bar and the .22s at 120bar. I will soon be running a chrony on the .25 to see what my full string looks like also tuned at 900fps with the 25.39 pellets. Really it comes down to if more shots at less power is better for you or more power at less shots. And if you really can't decide get both like me LOL

The Mutant standard was about 60 shots at 28.5fpe, the veteran shorty 45 shots at that power. I think the Veteran Standard .22 gets 80+ from what one guy showed. I will do a chrony on the .25 Standard in the next day or 2 to show it and I'm guessing in the 50 shots at 45fpe but I'm not sure. I will let you know though

Here's the Veteran Standard .25 shot string. As you can see about 40 shots on the reg at 45fpe. The reg is set at 150bar. When it comes off the reg it still has a decent bell curve. I decided to tune it to where it has very minimal curve after and bumped it up to 930fps and now only raises to 940fps and back down to 930fps in about 10 shots after falling off the reg. At 33yds it's just as accurate as it was shooting at 860fps. Definitely excited to get this thing out hunting.

Here's the beauty's.

The .25 sports a SUMO normally but I wanted to weigh the difference between the 2. As is with the .25 Standard with the 12x42 SWFA scope and SWFA Medium rings and SWFA bubble level it weighs in at 9lbs.

The .22 Shorty with the 10x42 SWFA scope and SWFA Medium rings and SWFA bubble level it weighs in at 8lbs.
