FX  Fx impact M4 plenum (male/gun side) leak issue

Had a leak once where I suspected these guys as well, turned out it was leaking through the plenum/valve rod hole though and had to swap those orings instead… just to make sure you’re chasing the right problem ;) now I’d simply replace all of them if I should have a leak in that area again.

Benjamin  Benjamin MROD quit firing

I've had the MROD since 2016 and run about 2.5 tins (500 count) of JSBs each year thru it. 1st issue with the gun in 9 years of continuous use. No complaints.
Absolutely, It’s mostly common with guns of age as they’re usually the longest running factory PCP’s out there. Or someone has done something to the gun they shouldn’t have. Based on the % that runs through here or Benjamin. Right now I’m seeing an uptick in 2017-19 models which is par for the course and should be serviced anyway if they haven’t been. Just age, overmold deterioration and usage.

Umarex  Exciting NEW Walther PPK/S now being made But....

I asked the question on Google: Will the new Walther PPK/S VFC GBB airsoft ever be sold in US? The answer was yes from 2 Taiwan airsoft vendors, Red Wolf Airsoft and Swit Airsoft. Redwolf said they did not have the pistol in stock, while Swit said they did so I ordered and paid. They said they would let me know when they ship. I ordered on May 23, but have not heard from them since, 5 days later. I paid $43 for air mail shipping- hope they do have a way to get this to me, through customs, etc. I'll keep you posted on this order. Yours, Bluemill

Airgun Technologies  Vulcan 3 500mm .177 dilema.

I have not found yet the best ammo for this rifle.

Jsb pellets in 8 and 10 grains are shot accurately but wind affect them a lot.

NSA .177 slugs deal better with wind but some flyers.

Jsb 13 grains not much accuracy....

Has any one tried the NSA .178 slugs?
My uragan 1 ..177 standard likes 178 nsa and 178 griffin in 16gr to 18gr.

N/A  What Is The Best NEW PCP Air GUN Deal You Saw Today?

With all of the talk about what tariffs have or might do to airgun prices, I thought that it might be fun to have a continuing thread where members told other members about hot air GUN deals that they saw. (For this thread, lets just talk about complete GUNS and not accessories, ammo, etc.).

I think that it will be fun to see what other airguns members find interesting enough to post, as all or our 'needs', wants and preferences are different. So please lets keep it CIVIL and in compliance with the thread title.

This thread is NOT for discussing the issues one has had with a model or brand of gun another user posts, nor is it a place to question whether the posted deal is actually all that good. POSTS ARE ALL THE OPINION OF THE AGN MEMBER WHO FOUND A PARTICULAR DEAL ON A PARTICULAR GUN WHICH THEY FELT WAS WORTHY OF SHARING. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE GUN OR AGREE WITH THE DEAL, YOU ARE FREE TO KEEP IT TO YOURSELF, OR CREATE YOUR OWN SEPARATE THREAD. I really want to see what different forum members out there like, and their reasons - hopefully it will be a learning exercise for all of us to maybe look at some different guns than we had been looking at.

And maybe get a good deal too!

So let's organize this by:
Make/Model
Shop
Deal Price
Link to the deal, if at a specific shop
Do you have one, and what do you like about this gun, especially at this deal price?
Photo, if you like.

Lets have fun with this and not drive others away with posts condemning their choices.

So I'll start:

KalibrGun Cricket 2 Tactical 45 CRBT
Airguns of Arizona
$1,200
https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/precharged-pcp/kalibrgun-cricket-2-tactical-45-crbt-.22/
I own one of these in .22 cal, and at this price I would buy one if I didn't already have one. Great shooter - accurate, reliable, lots of shots per fill, really comfortable to shoot (I like the stock extended behind the action compared to the other Cricket 2's), and accurate as all heck. Not the lightest but not bad and I mainly shoot off the bench. Really easy magazines to load, although the cocking/loading action can feel a little notchy unless you get the mags adjusted right. This gun must not be selling well for some reason. But to me it is a little gem which is significantly discounted during this time when other airguns seem to be increasing in price.

Terminal Ballistics: .30cal or .22cal for Feral Pigeons?

have you seen this video posted in general yet ? food for thought maybe ?

Some decent information and results in the equal foot pounds area in multiple calibers ( .177 , .22 , .25 ) with real world results explained .


Matthias = Maybe some food for thought for that active and talented mind of yours lol. :giggle: :coffee:
I know slugs and pellets are not the same but I do believe that expansion is a function of speed. There’s a lot more that goes into that I know so don’t come for me please haha. But if all factors pretty much the same then the velocity will matter most. It also backs up what I’ve noticed hunting the passed couple weeks. I can shoot a 36gr and a 30gr slug at the same 60fpe but it “looks” like the 30 hits harder. The difference is one is doing like 950ish and the other one is in the 860s… I never had anything go tumbling like the squirrel I posted in that video, until I started slinging the 30’s at 960.

Im also getting no pass through. I explained above that squirrel in the video had a little something “extra” on the other side but it was a slug fragment at best. To be fair I haven’t hit anything less than 40y aways so idk about short range. A 35gr doing about 870 cuts a quail in half though 🤷‍♂️ oops.

Other  Tier 1 pcp

There is a couple of other pistols you may consider as well, Steyr LP50 and Feinwerkbau P85. These are 5-shot pistols, mainly ment for rapid fire programs and for more affordable volume training for center fire programs. But both pistols can be use with single shot magazines that make them legal for all ISSF 10m air pistol precision programs. The down side of these two pistols is the trigger, it is not on par with the single shot pistols. Both guns have what is called a roll like trigger. That means you can feel a little creep when you pull the trigger. Not terrible by any means, it's short and smooth, but it's still a little creep you have to accept if you go that route. Some people are "allergic" to this kind of trigger, others don't let themselves be bothered by it so much.


There is a lot of other possibilities also, but I listed only PCP pistol because they will disturb you least during a match. SSP (single stroke pneumatics) pistols like FWB model 103 and IZM-46M, Co2-pistols like FWB C25 and Walther CP3, and springers like FWB Model 80 and Diana 6G are all very nice match pistols that perform very well. But during a 60 shot match you want to spend as little energy and concentration as possible on things other than the actual shooting, So if you are serious about 10m target shooting I recommend a PCP over the other alternatives. It may sound simple and easy, but believe me, full concentration for 60 shots is demanding.

Zbroia  Overview of Zbroia Models: Gun Specs Table

Sadly, there is close to zero support for them, I can speak from experience, I've had two. I have a Sapsan, it's not bad, not great. Regulator is .... flaky and non-adjustable, barrels are pretty nice, love the stock. Working on them almost makes an FX look easy. Now the other models may be better.

Edit, I did come up with a way to make the Hammer Spring externally adjustable, somewhere on the site is my write up on it.

Theopot vs votatu laser sight !!!

Bought these 2 green dots yesterday to keep the one that has more visibility during the daytime…
took some shots as best as I could from 20yds..
decided to keep the votatu.
votatu is stronger not by far but considerable,
the all cnc alloy body of votatu vs plastic body of theopot.
the votatu is little heavier than theopot…
enjoy.

❓ Acoustics Question: Projectile Flight Noise 𐃘 How to keep it down?

Basically, it is down to how much the air is disturbed. Pellets have a more complex shape than slugs, involving the air getting around more changes in direction, so you would expect them to generally be more noisy. However, hollow points are going to generate some noise, so large hollow point slugs could also be noisy. As both slugs and pellets have rifling marks, I cannot see this as being a major difference between them. Pellets such as the JSB Hades can be expected to produce more noise, or anything which has cuts or marks on the nose to disturb the airflow.

As for reducing the noise, smooth boat tailed slugs with no meplat on the nose fired at relatively low speeds are probably as low as you are likely to get. An accurate round is likely to be less noisy than a round which is yawing, which will itself disturb the airflow. As for .177 being quieter than larger calibres, this may be true, but if the airflow remains laminar along the entire length there will be more base drag and turbulence which may cause a problem. It will all be down to the individual designs.


Miles,

I really had hoped you would chime in! 😊
I have a lot of conjectures and uneducated guesses.
The voice of a pro is great to have around! 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼


One of my need-to-be quiet shooting scenarios would be with the Altaros Smooth slugs.
.25cal
49.50gr
850fps MV (=79FPE)
domed slug
no hollow point


Applying your post to this, it might be one of the quieter setups. 👍🏼


Matthias
