With the draconian UK laws, any legal - non FAC - air rifle will not exceed 750 fps.

With 11 ft/lbs and a pellet weight of 28g will give a velocity of around 420 fps.

A FAC rifle with 40 ft/lbs and a pellet weight of 28g will give a velocity of around 800 fps.

The .22 FAC Theoban MFR will produce 28 ft/lbs which equates to only 671 fps.

So even if you have an FAC certificate, the chances of finding a rifle with at least 35 fps is slim, but not impossible.

No, not a retail pneumatic rifle. If there were, it would likely be illegal, or at least restricted.
