490 fps tune Airsaber😀😀 lower psi

[RM.510bigbore]

Playing around with the new airsaber and seeing what pressure and hammer spring for max fps. I found right at 3400 psi on my regulator with the hammer backed out I was consistently getting lowest475 fps but average 488fps high 490fps. Depending on arrow. Shoots good. My ballistic program will work now.lowest fps. Lowest setting was 500 fps. Now I'm golden Best $230.00 dollars I've spent in awile

Very good keep use posted.

When will arrows/bolts run out of spine and begin to act like cooked noodles in the barrel?
We as air folks has a handle on way more power than the crossbow guys.
At some point Arrows/bolts will flex to much in the barrel and unstability will carry all the way to the target as scattering.

As with powderburners: How hard can you miss and still kill?

Any targets you can share? If it has accuracy to go with this power, you could hunt griz...

I've shot out to 70 with good results. The arrows shoot different you have to sort them out. The biggest thing for accuracy I've found with it so far. It was shooting 460 fps stock setting 3625 psi. A lol cheaper than a new ravin crossbow lol. Chicken thief I've noticed no One shoot s arrows over 500 fps. I'd figured some sort of weird things happen if you shoot arrows as fast as pistol slugs. Say with my short 25 in 45 cal barrel on my Texan if I shot a 400 grain arrow it would be 800 fps. Something weird probably happens.

Spline/felx.
This explains it very good:

So you're riding the edge of unknown!!!

I was wondering, at what point do arrows/bolts start to lose their spine and behave like cooked noodles in the barrel? I mean, we air folks have a better grasp on power compared to the hunting crossbow, right? But if arrows/bolts flex too much in the barrel, the instability will carry all the way to the target, causing them to scatter.

I know with powderburners, you can still get a kill even if you miss the target by quite a bit. But I'm curious, how hard can you miss and still get a kill with arrows/bolts?

Thanks!

Is there any spline flex from an airbow where the arrow is slid onto the barrel? The reason a bow/xbow arrow flexes is because all the energy enters the rear of the arrow forcing it to flex. With an slid on airbow the energy is forced into the tip of the arrow and pushes it from there, there should be no flex at all, I don't think there could even be any due to the physics of how it works.
Too much power would just result in the arrow exploding, very high could result in a deformed/expanded tip which might weaken the arrow resulting in explosion the next time it is fired.
I guess you could make an arrowgun that uses blanks, though I do think there would be too much energy released at once resulting in exploding arrows.

Arrow airguns where you insert the arrow into the barrel, these I would expect to flex causing the arrows to scrape the inside of the barrel.
