I understand, I was curious about those pellets, especially since my friend recommended them to me. They aren’t accurate at long distances, but at 15 meters I can hit a pigeon in the chest. However, yesterday I used different pellets, namely JSB Hades .22. After shooting a pigeon, I heard a loud...

A while ago, I shot my first wild pigeon. I have to say, I'm in shock. I used my Crosman Red .22 pellets, which I bought about 10-15 minutes ago at a store near my town. I approached the wild pigeon to a distance of about 9 yards. Yes, the shot was from a very close distance, but I hit it around...

I must admit that I am aware of what this air rifle is capable of. Its pellets can penetrate a board about 4.5 cm thick, if I'm not mistaken, and a solid board at that. I have never used it to deal with any pests, but I believe it is not suitable for very small birds like starlings or others of...

Once, a friend of mine who shoots with an air rifle recommended Crosman Red Fire .22 pellets to me. These are very sharp pellets weighing 16.7 grains. Their skirts are plastic and seal the barrel, while the tips are made of zinc. I used to have these pellets, but I used them in much weaker air...

Hello everyone, some time ago I posted about my Hatsan 125 in 5.5mm caliber. The Vortex is pressurized to 150 bar, which gives around 28 ft-lbs! The air rifle is incredibly accurate, hitting can-sized targets even at 80 meters. It has low recoil and is quiet. I also made two glide rings on the...

I'm considering that 2000 psi might be the safest option. I've heard that someone's air rifle got damaged at 150 bars of vortex. However, I'm wondering if 137 bars wouldn't be too low and if the air rifle will generate around 30 joules of energy in a 5.5mm caliber.

In the new version of Hatsan 125, it says that the maximum velocity is achieved at 145 bars. Is there anyone here who has a Hatsan from this series and knows at what pressure the airgun shoots energetically but safely? I've seen videos where they pump the Hatsan 125 to over 150 bars. But really...

I understand, but unfortunately, I don't have the option to adjust the pressure of the Vortex myself. I can only purchase it with the desired pressure. As I mentioned, I don't want to overdo it, and that's all. You said that a value of 2000 psi (137 bar) is a bit too much. So, should I choose...

Hello, I own a Hatsan 125 air rifle, 5.5mm. It has a metal spring and achieves around 30J of energy. The air rifle performs very well at this power level. However, I am planning to replace the metal spring with a Vortex gas spring. I am facing a dilemma about what pressure to set it at to ensure...
