Sorry, i edited the title to show Komplete.

I originally changed the hammer spring tension by putting a small slug between the hammer and spring. To change tension I would have to disassemble the gun, remove the hammer-spring assembly and try different thickness slugs. I decided to make an adjustable setup, and this is what I came up...

@AlanMcD Thank you for the detailed response. In the powder-burner pistol world, we call that a captive guide rod, not used for the same reason, obviously but the same principle involced in making them. Your explanations clear a lot of things up!

Degassing port.

I made my own unit to use temporarily until the Inspire Precision unit gets here, hopefully by Friday. If you want to see some targets from a .22 Komplete, go here: https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=219436.20 They seem to shoot above their pay grade.

I'm running the complete with an air cartridge charged to 3000 psi; not the N2 cartridge. Also, being new to airguns, what exhaust port ( I plead ignorance)? I thought the barrel was the "exhaust port" after the pellet exited.

Mine is the Umarex Komplete, and the other is the Diana Outlaw.

I am new to airguns; what is an SSG? Also the gun in question is the inexpensive, Komplete. It is regulated at 1800 psi, though I have no way to verify it. I am very happy with it and am just trying to learn different ways of tuning it for higher power. Right now I'm getting about 32 fpe...

Thanks for the link; that will keep me busy for sure!!

No, totally different manufacturers and different guns.

That's what has me puzzled. With the larger slug that I used in the hammer, I merely wasted air; the smaller slug kept about the same velocity, but I gained in number of shots. Does that mean that the plenum is too small and cannot provide enough air for the barrel length, basically emptying...

How does the barrel length affect the velocity. That is what has me confused. The example I sited has an 18" barrel doing ~85 fps more than my 23.6" barrel with about the same weight pellet. I did play with the hammer weight a little by adding a small slug under the hammer spring, which also...

I was just looking at different gun specs and came across a gun that has an 18" barrel, fill pressure of 3625 psi (regulator pressure not specified), and claims 985 fps and 35 fpe at the muzzle. I calculated that the pellet has to be 16 grains for this to happen. Now, my gun has a 23.6" barrel...

If I am remembering this properly, I was getting 29 fpe with a 25.4 gn pellet at 720 fps muzzle velocity. I would like to push the velocity up a little for perhaps a little more range and effective kill energy. Looking forward to some pictures!!

Mine isn't as elaborate but is a tuxing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT8MGGKC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title . Mine is a small Nuoge compressor (sold by many names, I'm told), and I added a pre-filter. Here is a picture of what I did. Mind you that I am only filling a 100 cc cartridge to...
