Our RAW shoots slugs great, no need to swap a barrel! It has a Lothar Walther polygonal barrel
I know lots of people with Red Wolves that shoot slugs. It has a Lothar Walter polygonal, choked barrel.
All of the Air force guns shoot slugs well. Lothar Walther barrels.
Evol, Uragan, Veteran, Cricket, Prophet, Raptor, almost any gun will shoot slugs well if you have the right diameter slug, with the right design, that’s the right weight for your gun’s power level. It’s getting easier and easier every day, lots of phenomenal slugs these days. You don’t pop in a slug and get great results like with pellets…Unless you get lucky which does happen from time to time.
There is no “magic slug” you just have to find the right one for your gun and set it up right. Part of the reason FX Impacts are so popular for slugs is because they have plenty of power and are very adjustable which is a huge advantage when tuning for slugs.
The majority of guys shooting slugs use choked barrels, they’re the most common in factory guns by far…Almost all are choked. Typically, people looked to non choked barrels for slugs in custom builds, TJ’s is a favorite, but you can definitely shoot slugs out of a choked barrel, you just need the right slug and tune. There are people who shoot slugs at slower speeds but generally, they work better faster because of the air gun barrel twist rates and because they’re spin stabilized whereas slow twist rates work awesome for drag stabilized Diabolo pellets.
Anyhoo, I’m gettin a little off topic, sorry. Almost any gun will shoot slugs if you find the right slug, tune and have the power to push it at the right velocity. It takes time to dial in a gun for a particular slug many people give up or chase their tail and never get it. Start with two or three recommended slugs to start with, if you get too many to start, you can drive yourself crazy. Just go slow and take good notes. There are plenty of people here who would be happy to help you if you need it.
If I was going to buy a new air gun just for slugs it would be the Impact, Evol or maybe the Raptor but they’ve had some issues. I already have an Impact and you don’t like them so if I were you, I’d buy an Evol, They’re awesome!
Have a good one!
Good luck, Stoti
