Now i know full well that much of the reason to tune up power on a recently acquired gun is to see it's potential. and i AM for it. but the question is does every gun you get have to be maxed out? lets see if i can explain my reasoning quickly so as not to bore the crap out of any readers. i have a 25 cal taipan long. THAT'S my power gun. and since i have different shooting needs. i try to fill every shooting niche that may arise. i prefer 25 cal so i don't have to buy multiple tins of different caliber pellets. also like the knock down power of 25 even at slower speeds. so i am getting a kral np-03 which i will convert to a pistol and set it's power to 25-30 FPE and leave it . also have a kral nemesis 25 cal with power ratings at 8-36 FPE. now this one i will try to bump up it's power yield to about 16-45 FPE range. the krals both have 5 power settings. NOW , i can try to ramp them up further , but why? both will fill a niche for my overall shooting needs. some times LESS is MORE. I'n not trying to criticize those that are pursuing max power to test possibilities , or slug potential. i understand. my question is , " is there no longer any desire for specialty lower power niche guns? sorry this went so long.
