HW100 FAC

[The Duncan 802]

Hi guys, just wondered if its possible to increase the power of the fac version of the HW100. From the factory they make 24fpe, but I was looking for more like 30+ fpe. Is there an outfit that modifies these, and of so, any idea of possible cost?

 

Cheers

would you not be able to take it to a gunsmith to turn it up?

 

I would imagine 24ftlbs is not the highest they will go, give them a ring and ask them

there is a video on you tube to show you how to do this im sure, looked quite simple too.

Why bother, they do not have the greatest shot counts to start with, going FAC would halve it, buy a nice Rapid FAC!

Its already doing 24ftlbs mole, but your right they do get like 20 shots from a 200 fill

I was just thinking that, at 24 ftlb u wouldn't get many shots I wouldn't of thought, as don't you only get or so on a normal 12 ftlb?

My .177 gets 110 shots at 11.5 fpe. 20 shots at 24fpe does sound very low.

Rapid? Yuk! No offence intended

Saw a Sumatra for £395 new on gunwatch. Puts out serious ft/lbs I'm told.

Cant work out if i like it or not though.

I think 30ftlbs is the max Hw100's put out, again only what ive read...

The good old Rapid has a humungous buddy bottle! Plenty of air for lots of FAC shots. Another gun to look at which is superb in FAC guise is the humble BSA Super 10. at 28 foot pound you get about 60 shots per fill. Though I could not possibly comment on how I know that!

the main problem once you get past 30flbs is not shot count but pellet weight and consistancy. im yet to find one in .20 cal that can handle the 42flb setting on my rapid

That's correct, whatever air rifle calibre you use in FAC they have to be under 1,000ft/sec for stability reasons

Beginning to think daystate. Not the airwolf though, not keen on a rifle I have to recharge with air and electricity.

Hi i am thinking of buying HW100s how can i tell if it is FAC or not

 

It will need chronoed but if it's out the shop then they won't sell it unless you provide a fire arms license, there is a few lads bought second hand guns for them to find out it's above the limit
