Do you actually own any pcp’s? It seems so far, you’ve had nothing of value to add to any thread I’ve seen you post in. Seems to scream troll material to me!

Many of you will not like this !... My previous findings confirm it is a fact !!!
- Thread starter Emu
- Start date
Oh look an ad hominem attack that contributes nothing to the forums. Great job! Isn't that what trolls do?

We would appreciate that someone with the adequate facilities could make the experiment and share with all of us the results.
They could show something different of what I have observed and all of us would learn something new !!

I’ll double down on that. Stubbers fits that bill perfectly - excessively argumentative, has to be right, loves to push buttons.

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing this further experimented with. I have doubts that lean both ways, in favor of your findings and against them, such as Centercut said, if your es and sd are single digits, it shouldn't matter how the valve is actuated. Hammer recoil in pcps is linear. If you as a person have a body that twitches in response to that recoil, I definitely see hammerless designs benefiting you, as a shooter.
Thanks for not taking offense to me or anyone who doubts your findings are universal to all, shows you're very mature to handle such debates. Kudos

If your posts were debates, it would be different. You’re just argumentative. Someone points it out, and you start your attack. Sounds trollish to me.

I wonder... if its the lock time difference, or the difference in momentum / recoil, or a combination that ultimately helps the most for Emu at long range.
I always felt FX has some of the lowest lock times with pcps which give them quite an edge in competition, among other things.

Getting back on topic, if Emu loves his Sidewinder, that’s great. I have been playing with a K1 in 25 and the ES is stellar, among other great attributes. However, it will only shoot accurately at 925fps and above. I posted a thread about it but nobody chimed in. I can’t imagine that it’s the barrel because it’s lights out at speeds above 920 but a shotgun at 900. Really bizarre.

I think the only thing holding back accuracy of these style airguns is the “through the mag” style action. If there was only a way to negate that system, I bet they’d be even better!

My k1 was similar, the .25 k1 loved 33.95 at 955 , that is what I made it to finals with at NAC

Across the street is a ground field. The first fence is at 190 yards. There I shoot to stones in the ground. I do not shoot to a paper target.
As soon as the cows go back to the stable I will took a picture of where I shoot.

Can you please explain this feeling you have about lock times in FX guns being "lowest"? Additionally, what "edge" in competition are you referring to? It's interesting, since trigger sear/spring/hammer/valve is the same in almost all mechanical airguns. I'd say a gun like the Red Wolf more than likely has a lower lock time than most mechanical guns due to it being electronically controlled... IMHO.

I said some of the lowest in the industry, not the absolute lowest... Lock time is primarily decided by 3 main factors, hammer weight, spring rate, and hammers travel distance. FX uses really light hammers, some of the lightest in the industry, with very heavy hammer springs. Feel free to school me if I am wrong. I know there are a few other airguns that are not mechanical and likely have faster lock times, which is why I didn't give fx the crown here.
To add, some mechanically actuated arrangements may have 1 ms lock times, while others may have 5+ ms lock times.
