So, I’ve just got done playing around with the new Huma 12 ftlbs tuning regulator for the Lelya. Take these results with a pinch of salt, these are first impressions only.
Caveats:
1. I was using an FX chrony, at very close distances (3-4 feet), and my experience is that the FX is somewhat inconsistent at these distances.
2. I miscounted shots, so there were a number of “blanks” in my strings. I edited these out, but the air consumption numbers don’t account for these
3. I only had a rough eyeball on starting and finishing pressures using a wikia guage. The Edmu would likely give more accuracy.
4. I’m in the US, so I’m no beholden to the 12 ft/lbs limit. But I’m a Brit originally, and I do like to keep things in the same ballpark as my people. If I want to go big, I have powder burners for that
Plus most of my airgun shooting is in urban, non-gun friendly territory – so the quieter the better (which is often a challenge with EdGuns!)
With those caveats in mind, my shot string tonight yielded 125 shots, with an average of 585 F.P.S using 15.89 grain JSB’s. Starting pressure was ~200 BAR, and ending pressure was ~60 BAR. The reg was set to 60 BAR using the HUMA reg tester.
The ES was more than I’d like (~20fps) but for a first outing, it’s quite promising. A significant increase in the shot count, at a velocity that’s more than usable for me.
Folks in the UK should certainly try this out, as should those that are looking for a large shot count for plinking.
Now I just need to convince @STO to build a moderator insert, like he did for the Leshiy to really quiet this thing down. (Although the mechanical noise is *huge*)
More reasons to love Edgun,
