Was looking around on AoA and noticed that they don’t seem to list the Mini Bantam anymore. Last time I checked they were supposed to release the Pepper Laminate soon. Don’t see them listed on the Brocock website either.
Mini Bantam no more?

The Brocock Bantam Mini is now the Brocock Bantam Sniper XR model. It's still listed. I heard about other stocks but haven't seen anything yet.

Yeah, saw that one, but thought the Mini was even smaller. They don’t have all the specs listed either. Anyhoot, reckon you are right.

Somethings not right. The difference in shot count looks off by a lot regarding that 12fpe chart. Unless they are comparing the Concept with smaller capacity air tube vs Bantam's larger CF bottle.

Excellent question. That is because you are looking at the 12fpe column. In that power level for each caliber, the .22 gets more shots from a fill do to the weight of the pellet being more. A heavier pellet will achieve the 12fpe at a relatively slower speed, which requires less air. (Around 583 for a 15.89gr) The .177 is relatively much lighter and will require a higher speed to achieve the 12fpe, therefore it will use up more air that the .22. (Around 800fps for a 8.44)
