I understand that it's new to you, I'm not really an old timer myself, but I have a couple of PCP's that I've owned for about a year, and I've probably spent way too much time reading about them, watching reviews, etc. You know what I mean, you do it with firearms.
I watched the video all the way through, several times, even watched it on my big screen tv (how I noticed the missing plug, lol) because I love this gun, and want to see how it's working for others. I did also think that it was an advertisement, a lot of people do it in this industry, so I owe you an appology on that. Air gunners know that the air gun industry likes to stretch the truth on numbers, Hatsan lists this rifle at 900 fps with lead- free pellets, Hatsan has always been a company that is pretty close to what they claim, so yeah, it bothered me.
Again, I owe you an appology, in your defense, I will say that I am finding that some people are saying their guns are shooting at the speeds you stated right out of the box, nothing I have seen from the first batch of guns that came out, I preordered mine as soon as It was put up to do so. The fps difference may due to a simple hammer spring adjustment in the factory, some may be turned out a little more than others, smoother working parts, etc. I know the gun has power, and some are going to work a little different than others, I know it can do it, and that alone leads me to believe that you're being honest. Yes, I've been digging in forums and asking questions over this video, I think I need to take my stock off and turn my hammer spring out because mines only pushing the Baracudas in the low 800's at the fastest, (editing here... average of Baracudas seem to be around 735 fps top, not 800, the JSB 25.39 are moving at 800 avg.) and seems to be the norm with other owners I know. I guess I'm a "gotta see it to believe it" type and not seeing it being chrony'd weighed in on my thoughts on the vid. I hope you understand, there's a lot of BS in any industry to make sales, and when I thought this was an ad, pffft, from that point I'm not believing it until I see it.
As for the 1000 fps, wrong vid, that was the Riton video at 1:25. The airgun community split hairs just like the firearms community, this is an excellent little gun, but that much difference in fps in an airgun is huge. I also know that when dealing with the firearm community they like big numbers, especially on a pellet gun, and there's not many that will listen to how they work, why lower speeds are better due to the bc of regular pellets, you need to move into higher power guns that can push slugs with a better bc to use higher speeds.
Anyway, not trying to rag on ya just to be annoying, not my thing, just my gun man, my favorite pcp, lol. Have a good day, and thanks for the video, seriously, I think this little gun is seriously underrated.
