Just been looking at a guy in the USA performing velocity tests wih a .22 rimfire rifle and a .22 handgun. What got my attention was he using different capacity ,22 nail gun blanks to shoot Crossman Premier 14.3 g .22 pellets. the performance on pumpkins was frankly amazing! whereas a normal .22 bullet just went straight though the hyper speed pellet just exploded on impact tested on a steel plate at about 20 yards the pellet cut through with ease no dent just a clean hole! the high speed .22 round went through with ease but left a big dent around the hole. accuracy at longer ranges was rubbish of course, but for vermin up to 20 yards or so would have the same effect of a 17 bullet.

It was on you tube " Shooting .22 pellet using nail gun blanks?" by a guy called TAOFLEDERMAUS I then found a follow up tests by another guy doing and showing the above using different power blanks and giving velocity speeds on each type.
