I have a RAW TM 1000, I noticed yesterday (all new seals within the month not leaked) that it seemed to start shooting higher as the tank pressure went down,,,,,,200 bar down to 150 bar... so my plan was today at the shoot was to keep it pretty close to 200 bar through out the shoot. Shot 5 shots at practice, topped back off, very little used. I am shooting and just have a feeling something isn't right plus the fact that not hitting. Looked at my gauge 50 bar, like to have crapped, I have shot 2 tournaments and not refilled. Ran and refilled, shot down to 160 bar refilled finished the match no more leaking, come home it was on about 160 bar, so plan was to shoot it down to learn where the regulator was set at, best I can tell about 100 bar. Shot 87 pellets from 160 bar down to just barely under 100, last 3 pellets dropped air pressure. But here is what I noticed my gun actually increases in FPS the further down you shoot the tank, starting after about 10 shots from full. Starts out right at 850 FPS the more you shoot it went as high as 920 FPS. So my question is what kind of fluctuation should I have from a regulated gun in a 50 shot string from full? It will probably shoot 85 shots before getting close to 100 bar. OK SO WHO WOULD YOU SEND THE GUN TO,,,,MARTIN or who???
