Question About the KalibrGun Cricket .35 cal

[Killemdead]

I am seriously considering buying the newest .35 cal KalibrGun Cricket....what I'd like to know is, is it back yard friendly? I have a 25 cal FX wildcat and I'd wanted a bigger caliber BUT Quiet, compact and very Accurate....I wanted to get the New 30 cal FX wildcat mk2....but the .35 KalibrGun Cricket got my full attention..

I dont kno how loud the .35 cal cricket is but On here the few guys who bought the new 30 wildcat all seem to have smae problems so far andhave not heard a cure yet , I hope you got a big yard for the .35 they do travel a bit far

Yeah ive seen those post about the issues regarding the 30 cal wildcat....I'm grateful that i didnt have any issues with my 25 cal first generation wildcat..(yet)..i understand the.35 KalibrGun Cricket packs a pretty hard punch....i just need to know if its back yard friendly like my 25 cal wildcat is...

What FPE does it produce? The earlier model was reviewed by our own Michael when they first became available. If I remember correctly it had something like a 4 mil drop from 35 to 80 yards. Following the same ballistics out to 100 was like a rock dropping off a table. Imagine ranging something at say 70, having it do a slow walk or a quick bolt at a 45 degree angle. Ranging over and having a very small window of accuracy, 75-80 FPE with a 30 cal or 60 with a 25 might be a more efficient choice.

114 fpe. Pushing 81 grain jsb pellets at 805 fps. Depending on what you want to do with that gun will determine if that gun is right for you. 805 fps is good for target shooting and I've found the gun is very accurate at that speed but for hunting, the gun has an extreme drop which makes it very difficult to quickly range your target, calculate your hold over, and shoot. I've had several missed coyotes with this gun which pissed me off, I sold the gun at a big loss.
