AirgunGuy 362 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Does like like a lot of damage mate. Get it chrono'd ;-) Quote Link to post
Ratsmasher 36 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 nah its just where you hit it fairly flush to the curve of its skull...if that makes sense... basically where the pellet hit the bone fairly flush it tore a lot of it away instead of penetrating tidily as usual...if it was significantly high enough to make a difference the hole would be cleaner you might have to clean the patio though :/ Quote Link to post
kill zone 27 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 lol just had her croned and its doing 11.7 with air arm.So i think RATSMASHER HAS THE ANSER BUT THANKS EVERY ONE 1 Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 If its doing that with AAF's, get it turned down QUICK If the Police Chrono it, it WILL go over with a Biz Mag! Remember they use light, medium and heavy pellets. AAF are medium weight Get it set to 11.5 using Biz Mags, that way it's never going to go over. According to an RFD my BSA Ultra was 11.76 with AAF's. Police Chronoed it with a heavier pellet and it was 13.04 and I need an FAC to possess it. Oh and I now have a Criminal Record because of that the Biz mag put an extra 1.28 ft/lbs (and thats only a few feet per second more). Tony Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Incidently I shot a Woody with an 10.25 ft/lbs rifle from underneath, took the head almost clean off The Heart carries on pumping for a second or two and a Woody has a lot of beats per second hart rate, hence the amount of blood Tony Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 What was the outcome of having an over powered rifle? A Caution for possession of a Section One Firearm without a certificate. Because it's my first offence and the other circumstances I was offered the caution. I could have refused the caution, but then I'd have wound up with a spell in the big house as the CPS would have prosocuted me through the court. Remeber its a Mandatory minimum sentance if found guilty. Tony Quote Link to post

I asked a question on another forum the other week as I was looking at buying a gun, the owner had told me that he had had to return it to the manufacturer after it shot over the magic number (12.01) on a test over his chrony... he said they set it to 11.7 with JSB exacts and I was worried that bismags would put it over... The members of the forum wanted to know if it was .177 as if it was, then it would probably be over with a heavier pellet but I should be ok with that setting if it was .22.. it was a .22 by the way...never bought it though...

Tony Well tony has just put the fear of god into us as I have just got myself a very nice new BSA Ultra .22 multishot from a Blackpool retailer, and I have no desire to get my collar felt by the boys(or girls) in blue and end up with a criminal record the first time I go onto my permission(when I get one ). I thought that most/all air guns were now factory set to under the legal limit of 12ft/lbs. and that many including the BSA’s had anti-tamper checks to show that we had not fiddled with them. With all this in mind should I be going back to the shop and getting it chrony? Quote Link to post
