Blood hell.

 

Should be ok for rabbits

i would take my buffalo with that

You and buffalo Plenty of power In the rifle but 3 shots and all that pissing about to load It. No thanks. The boar vid Isn't bad either, Drops well

[Guest air gunner]

Thats a big piece of crap! all that faffing around and by the looks of it mental recoil may as well get a rimfire! not for me 3 shots per fill and probably massive drop on the second shot 100fps loss!

[maty j 6]

Same power on the second shot Airgunner. i only watched up to that part as he was only shooting targets. I think you'd need a centre fire too rather than a rimmy to out do that for power allthough the range Is probably nothing special. I can see the attraction but for 3 shots I'd wonder If It's worth It.

a rimmy wont drop a wild boar ( body shot) where that will , i just like seeing what people can push out of there guns and 720 ft lb is pretty good

I've seen the Shun Sung go out to just under 200ft/lbs but 720 ups the bar considerably.

was it loud chris?

Ok i will be inpressed when they produce a 720fps air rifle with more than 3 shots per fill and also has a magazine. I only watched the target one doesent make a difference to me if it can drop a wild boar i couldent even kill one with a centre fire. (i live in england) What fps do rim fires have as a general rule? also if you shot a pigeon with that it would be like shooting one point blank with a 12bore. bang wheres e gone. what does it envolve getting an FAC licence for use with air guns this cal and power in england how much age limit etc?

[maty j 6]

720 FPS Is easy to get more than 3 shots 720 ft.lb on the other hand...

A rimmy with .22 shorts will give you about 76 ft.lb muzzle velocity. No where near 700 lol. .22 hornet about 720 ft.lb but It's only a .22 still so body shots will be useless.

How expensive is a tin of pellets for this gun.

[Guest air gunner]

Oh [bANNED TEXT] im mixed up fps and ft-lb

Very. Silencer helped but it was still loud.

I think air rifle tuning isn't about practicality it's about eccentricity. Especially in the UK. My Rapid is a great piece of engineering but because it does 60ft/lbs people say 'Why didn't you buy a rimfire.'

 

Because I wanted an air rifle that I could put on FAC. If I want a rimfire I'll buy one!

 

The thing with Korean air rifles is that they're made in a market where rimfires and centerfires can't be legally held. So they do the best they can with the practical tools available. It's not reinventing the wheel it's finding loopholes in their laws.

 

As for shots so what? How many do you need? Alot of the yank hunters are using single shot muzzleloaders and single shot slug guns. Granted they're not for small game but I guess it's what's you want from a rifle.
