Professionals... Was just wondering if you actually think this will do 715 fps with alloy pellets? And are the 10 pumps kind of a hassle compared to the breaknecks? I have one that is 1200 fps and power is great but 1 pellet at a time is a hassle. This...

This gun is loaded relatively quickly. The ten pumps is not a hassle at all, anyways I do at least 12 or so pumps. This gun can go through a full milk gallon and then some. This is the most powerful pellet gun I own and shoots well over 715 fps.

My apologies for answering your question so late. It is about 260 FPS. Is it good for a backyard war? I would say no because you would only have 6 shots, reloading is a pain, and you need to pull the hammer back after every shot. Not unless you are a very disciplined shooter with pin point accuracy, this gun would be useful. You would need to by more shells to load your BBs in if you want to have more ammo with you (1 shell = 1 BB). The problem with that is that each BB is loaded into each individual shell. Overall, treat this like a real magnum in real life. High power for a handgun, high risk when reloading and ammo supply. My apologies for answering your question so late. It is about 260 FPS.

The maximum FPS is roughly 400, and I'd say if you modified it you could get it to be considerably lower, like around 350, but most CO2 pistols have inconsistent BB velocity because of the unavoidable CO2 leakage.

Under 400fps with 3 pumps. Each gun is a little different and pellet weight matters.

I think they claim 950 fps, but typically that is with alloy pellet. Lead pellets are slower.

It makes more noise than a BB gun but much much less than a 22 rifle. I had the same concerns about neighbors when shopping for a pellet gun. One of the reviews of the Ruger Air Hawk said it was too loud. The Black hawk, not as powerful, was said to be less noisy. The first few shots were loud, but as I sighted in the scope it settled down noise wise. Also lead pellets are not a loud as the synthetic ones. The power - 1000 fps, the weight, and the name, sold me on the Black hawk. I did opt for a better Center Point scope instead of the one included but I love my Black hawk. I haven't heard a word from the neighbors.

Only if you are very close. My chrony puts 14.35 grain pellets out at 435-450 fps which is only 6 to 6.5 ft pounds of force AT THE MUZZEL. by the time it is out 20 yards it is only 5 FPE and by 40 is only 4.5FPE .. not enough for racoons, not really enough for a squirrel unless you are within 10 yards OR a "top shot" that never misses a brain shot.

This hits hard. 50-60 yards consistent. Depending on ammo you can get about 1300 fps with the high velocity pellets. I shoot the heavier lead that runs about 900-950 subsonic but it is way more accurate and packs a punch. Most 22lr rounds are 1250fps but would carry lead further out. It will shoot the 100yds no problem but accuracy just will not be there. I have a ruger .177 that doesn't shoot as fast as this one and they are both way more than the daisy 10 pumps of old

I would estimate around 1000fps. It's not the 1200fps it advertises. I have not tried the expensive ammo BPS though. The scope is awful and trigger pull is terrible as well. The gun has operated flawless through around 600 rounds. I recommend getting a better scope and expensive ammo if you want this to be a pigeon/squirel killing machine. Once you get use to the trigger, it's not that bad.Clean the barrel also. It helps alot with the accuracy when siting in your new scope. -Chris

I have two of these. One mounted on a S&W; M&P; 10 (.308) that I've swapped the flash suppressor out for a muzzle brake. Has 18" barrel. Normally shoot Sierra 168 grain HPBTs in hand loads. Last outing I was getting sub-moa results. Have the other mounted on Armalite AR-31 (.308) with 24" barrel. Have shot better than 1/2 moa with the same hand loads. I never worry about the BDC feature since that is pretty dependent on using specific factory ammo. I can wing it on longer shots pretty easily. Great scopes.

Its not that accurate of a gun. I ended up buying a longer barrel but that was a small improvement. If you are planning on playing speed ball, look for a different gun. The gun is terrible with stock parts. I ended up putting another 100 bucks into itand it still wasn't that great of a gun. It's a good starter gun but once you get out gunned by little rich kids it doesn't feel so good.

I used the steel BB's from daisy and they are fairly accurate. If you want Maximum accuracy I would use pellets. I have no clue why you would need the ft lb of energy but you could probably calculate that by knowing the FPS(650-700 at 10 pumps) and the mass of the pellets/ BB's. I've noticed the accuracy depends a lot on how many pumps you use and the weather condition more than the pellets/BB's. For the price you can't go wrong.

YES...Also it's the biggest P.O.S., that I've ever seen, the pellet only moves at 400 fps, which is hardly worth shooting. If you're SERIOUS about shooting you want something like the Umarex 2252268 Browning 800XPS, It only costs $50.00's more & it's TWICE AS FAST, it too has a Rifled Barrel, today MOST Air-Rifles & Pistols have rifled barrels. Hope this helps

I have fired these at up to 400 FPS with no problems. I have not fired them any faster than that. At 400 FPS, they don't really even break up when they hit concrete.

It is rated at 800 fps with BB's and 750 with light pellets.ThanksPyramyd Air Team

What is the FPS on the Showstopper. Thats your answer. I might add that if your looking for accuracy, don't buy a breakdown barrel like the Big Cat.

I think it's just the sound you get.when a pellet travels over 1000 fps. I've used different pellets and they all were about the same.
