Advertised Airgun Velocities
Question:
Interesting, my Benjamin .20 cal at max pressure ONLY launches pellets around 600 fps (I’ve chronographed it). Should I send it in for a check up? It’s still under warranty. -Norm
# I was doing some research on airguns and collected several statistics. # Here is the table of velocities by caliber. For models that shoot BBs # and pellets, I only used the pellet velocity. The table has embedded # tabs, so if you cut and paste into a word processor, the columns # should line up (maybe). # # ..P # # Benjamin Pump 800 – 685 – Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/ To leave the Hunting listserv list, send a message with SIGNOFF HUNTING

If you are using a heavier pellet, your velocity will not be as fast. Hap To reply by e-mail, please remove the ".ns." in my e-mail address.

A spring-piston air rifle develops maximum energy with a light pellet but a pneumatic air rifle works best with heavy pellets. –Jonathan Spencer Keith Borer Consultants – Forensic Scientists Mountjoy Research Centre, Durham, DH1 3UR, England tel: + 44 191 386 6107 fax: + 44 191 383 0686 Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/ To leave the Hunting listserv list, send a message with SIGNOFF HUNTING
