Odd statement to me… regarding power V Accuracy because the use of unnecessary power (more than needed) is pointless and wastes air? My thoughts. I see it this way.. putting a projectile where I want it with only the amount of power required to do the task.

What power is needed?

What power is needed?

good question / ?
paper punching - none really.
head shot / kill shot def. more.
plinking a can... not much.
Ringing a steel plate at 100 + yards... a bit more.
bucking the wind esp over distance, prob. more to get it there on target?
Certainly Power generated for the sake of power is (in airguns) defeating the purpose.
More power always means using more air, this means it will be louder and you will have to refill more often.

You are absolutly right. I would suggest for such purposes an AirArms 510 og a Daystate HUntsman.

So I figured out the mystery of "930 fps at 100 bar, white spring". The answer is, I am stupid. It was 830 fps.

I'm back to 135 bar and 930 fps. That seems to be the sweet spot for the JTS 25.39 .22s. I had to sacrifice my 18.8 wadcutters a bit, they're okay around 930 fps but could be better. Servicable though.

What PW setting were you using for those numbers? 936fps is the slowest mine will shoot 25g pellets, lol. PW on min. I need to get a white spring to play with.

A couple of pics of our Sub 12 Blacwolf tac, it has the Form GP grip set fitted with a home made cheek rest the outgun angled gauge bracket with the sub 12 airgunners trigger blade and cocking handle it looks a treat IMO

135 bar, 18 wheel, white spring. The white spring is the best for .22 if you ask me.

Not for me - i have already own both platforms you mentioned... very nice, but i moved on. I was responding to the earlier mentioned idea concerning power v accuracy specifically "how much power is appropriate for a given task" as long as it is on target.
