Hi Jason , thank you for your inquiry , the Gamo P-900 IGT Air Pistol has shoot 508 fps (tests with Gamo Raptor PBA pellets delivered 508 fps. (Gamo states this gun delivers only 400 fps with alloy pellets.) Full description and specs below. Gamo P-900 IGT air pistol IGT gas piston (IGT=Inert Gas Technology) Breakbarrel Single-shot 30 lbs. cocking effort Fixed fiber optic front sight Windage-adjustable rear sight Rifled steel barrel Ergonomic design Textured, rubberized ambidextrous grip Manual safety 2-stage non-adjustable Smooth Action Trigger (SAT) Here are the benefits of the IGT over a metal mainspring: Smoother cocking Smoother shooting No spring torque No spring fatigue, even if you leave it cocked for hours Functions perfectly in cold weather Lasts longer than a metal spring Gamo USA states that this gun gets 400 fps (and Gamo traditionally provides velocity figures for alloy pellets, not lead pellets). However, airgun writer Tom Gaylord tested the P-900 with Gamo Raptor PBA pellets (5.4 grains) and got a whopping 508 fps! For a 10-shot string, he got an average of 490 fps. As a result, our velocity figure for this gun does not agree with Gamo's claim. Specs Caliber: 0.177" (4.5mm) Velocity: 508 fps Loudness: 3-Medium Barrel Length: 6.25" Overall Length: 12.6" Shot Capacity: 1 Cocking Effort: 30 lbs. Barrel: Rifled Front Sights: Fiber Optic Rear Sights: Adjustable for windage Scopeable: No Trigger: Two-stage non-adjustable Buttplate: None Suggested for: Plinking/Fun Trigger Pull: 4.5 lbs Action: Breakbarrel Safety: Manual Powerplant: Gas-piston Function: Single-shot Body Type: Pistol Weight: 1.3 lbs Thanks Phil

Its around 360 fps. It has no shortage of power, trust me, as its main purpose is cqb, you really dont need any more than 350, but a little extra never hurt anyone, right? Except the guy youre shooting at anyway :P

Mine seems pretty quite, but I'm shooting lead pellets I haven't tried high speed pellets yet. With the lead it is really quite.

NOT airsoft pellets. It uses .177 caliber pellets which are readily available in many makes, brands, and weights! Alloy pellets do shoot 1200 fps, but are very inaccurate in my gun. Lead pellets in the 7 - 7.5 grain weight shoot 1000 + fps and usually are very accurate as are many heavier lead pellets!

i only use mine on squirrel and grackles/crows.....i also like a clean kill and don't feel a light .22 cal pellet at under 1000fps gives a clean kill unless a headshot....the gun is capable of those headshots, so depends on the shooter, but still personally would recommend a different gun.

I have been shooting mine with a 1100 fps pellet gun. It makes a noise and swings some, but doesn't make it swing up all the way requiring a shot to reset.

It depends on who makes the .20 gram BBs. They are all not the same. In most cases it will shoot around 200FPS with .20.

The manual rates this gun at 750 fps for BBs and 715 fps for pellets at 10 pumps. The shooting distance for 10 pumps is rated at 291 yards for BBs and 286 yards for pellets. I hope this helps answer your question.

While the ad says it includes pellets, I did not receive any pellets with my order. This is a hard shooting gun and has a muzzle velocity of 750-800 fps. I checked it with my chronograph. The standard Chinese B3 has a muzzle velocity of 650 fps

It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are not using pointed pellets. You should still expect to dent it up pretty good on misses. A couple of thoughts. First off, depending on the make of the pellet rifle, many manufacturers will list a FPS that can only be achieved by using alloy pellets (i.e. extremely light, and therefore less accurate). Therefore, you might getting more like 1000fps at the muzzle using lead pellets. My favorite target pellet is the RWS Meisterkugeln and it runs at 8.2grains. With that pellet this trap should be okay, but expect it to make a distinct sound when hit. I have one of these, and I put a rolled up small towel in the back to keep it less noticeable by my neighbors. It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are not using pointed pellets.

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

I shoot them out of my Gamo Silent Cat which is rated at 1000 fps for lead pellets. I only get 625 fps out of that gun with these 11.6 grain ones but they do a lot of damage to what they hit. But I would not use them in a low powered rifle. I switched to 10.3 grain H&N; Barracuda hollow points for more tissue damage but the Silver Arrow does a good job.

750 FPS....I found the PBA pellets to be very irregular and inaccurate.....but the accuracy and the hitting power of the standard 750 FPS pellets is excellent!

The muzzle velocity is 500FPS with .12g BBs, but they won't get as far as the .20g BBs, because .12gs begin to ark up or to one side or the other immediately after being fired

Absolutely!! I'm getting 1.0" groups at 35 yrds free handed. Through the chronograph, I averaged 743.7 fps with a spread of 24 fps, which equates to 17-18 FPE. That was with 10 shots. Great pellet!!

445-450 with .2sbut it seems like all of us are getting different fps reading here so because i don't believe they are putting widely different springs in each gun I am forced to believe that its the chonos that are wrong. Ill go get mine calibrated and be back with the results
