I've tuned my Taipan Veteran Short .25 caliber to 25 FPE. It gets around 80 to 90 shots on the regulator.

I'll be one to admit that I went from Taipan Veteran .22 to Taipan Veteran .25 "just because". The vast majority of my shots are on chipmunks and squirrels within 35m. And for that, the .22 is more than enough. However, in the 4 years I owned the .22, I just couldn't seem to get the .25 out of...

I've done this in the past with my Veteran 1 Long. The Tanto and the Koi will thread directly on to the barrel and have clearance from the air cylinder. You just have to make sure that you get the 1/2 x 20 endcap. Having said that, I have eventually gone back to the stock barrel shroud. Even the...

I just got into kites a few months ago. Yes, kites that kids fly. I thought "an innocent and cheap hobby". Now, I'm spending $100 and $200 on "beginner" kites.

I was just watching the new videos on the Slash posted by Taipan. The gun is much more involved taking it apart compared to the Veterans, but at least you don't have to disassemble the Slash to adjust the regulator. Also, I don't know anything about semi-auto guns but with a hammer gun, we are...

If it was my, I will definitely turn down the external regulator closer to the Huma Air. Probably around 50 bars higher, so 200 sounds good.

From my experiences with the .22 Long and Standard, take a tune that you're comfortable with your Standard and add about 5 FPE for that same reg pressure in the Long. My .22 Long was shooting about 31 FPE at 100 bars reg pressure while my Standard .22 was shooting 27 FPE with the same reg pressure.

From what I've found, the Taipan Veterans don't really like being run at regulator pressures below 100 bars. Yes, you can tune it down that low but my experience is that the accuracy suffers by quite a bit. When I had my Veteran .22 Standard, at 100 bars, it was shooting the JSB Hades 15.89gr at...

As far as I know, the Veteran 1 .25 from a few years ago had LW barrel with tight chokes. The more recent ones have unchoked CZ barrels. I'm not sure when they made the transition but guns from the last half of last year have the CZ barrels according to Taipan. The type of barrel you have might...

Thanks for the comments everyone. I will leave the gun as is for now. I have another Veteran, a Standard .25, that is tuned to 45 FPE. I'll start using it more as I gain confidence with the Short 32 FPE.

I'm quite certain that I hit one just under the ear probably level with the eye and the other one just behind the head. I'm attaching videos of both shots. Both times, when I turned off the video, I thought for sure that they were done for.

Yes, maybe but now I'm a bit gun shy to use the gun at that power tune on squirrels. Before this, I had the gun tuned to 25 FPE briefly and that was even worse.

I'm using JSB King 25.39gr at 755 FPS.

As I continue to explore lower power tune .25 caliber I constantly learn different aspects of it. I currently have my Taipan Veteran Short .25 tuned to 32 FPE. I've taken a number of squirrels with it; both headshots and a heart and lung shot. The last 2 though didn't go so well. The shots were...

As was already mentioned, there are several zones where individual guns will find their harmony. I'm my case, I tend to focus on FPE (maybe over focus? 🤔) because my guns serve as suburban varmint rifles. I'm trying to balance the safety and power for taking pests as humanely as possible.

My Long .22 was getting around 90 shots at that power with the 15.89gr. Hades... So the same as yours. That was at 95 bars regulator. I was only able to get 60 shots with the .22 Standard when I tuned it to 27 FPE at 88 bars. For all the tunes, the hammer spring tension was set to give around...

357.89 Edit: oh wait... this is not a giveaway 😅😅😅

Yes, I'm aware of this erratic behavior which is why I replaced the Belleville washers with the proper rating for the reg pressure I want to set. When I had the improper heavy washers, when I had the regulator that low, whenever I degassed the rifle from the bleed valve up front, I also had to...

That's a Ukraine made Taipan Veteran that had the stock changed to the newer laminate stock.
