Manufactures don't publish data on this subject, because it depends on the caliber, weight and design of the pellet. Altitude, wind and barrel design also impact the results. Obviously a .177 caliber will travel further than a 50 Caliber shot. ( You do know that they do make 50 caliber PCP air rifles,)
Don't put as much air in the rifle. If you have a dial to set the power then use it. As you shot the power drops. You can dry fire some PCP air rifles.
You can't. You will have to sell your old air gun, then use the money towards a new PCP air rifle.
Please state the model you are inquiring about. Is this a C02 or a PCP (Precharged Pneumatic) air rifle?
Pyramyd air gun is one of the larges web sellers of air guns (PCP) I suggest you contact them and let them assist you. See the link below
The "Grand Prix" would be one of my choices.. It comes in .177 or .22, it is a PCP class rifle.
yes you can ---------------------- New Answer--------------- Only if the PCP rifle is designed for it. Most PCP's use Air but some are capable of using C02. Don't ever use or mix C02 and Air in the same tank. The tank must be emptied first before changing over to a new charging system (If it's designed for it.) The Marauder is one such PCP rifle that can use either. The Air Force Condor can use either but has a separate tank for air or C02.
The most expensive air rifles fall into the Olympic competition class of air rifles like the makers of "Anschutz" rifles. These are the PCP class rifles (Precharged Pneumatic Guns) they use a scuba tank to charge the rifle. The cost can exceed $2,500. They are not normally for the home user. They are designed for Olympic shooting. There are some less expensive PCP rifles for the average user like the ones made by "Webley & Scott" that retail around $900. Most any PCP rifle or gun is going to be expensive. Plus you have to incur the price of the scuba tank or pump to charge it, this can cost around an additional $300. Unless you want to use a hand pump and that will require a lot of back work. Crosman has just introduced a low-end PCP rifle in their "Benjamin" line of air rifles.
I suggest you look at the link below. Pyramyd Air is the largest dealer that I know of in the air gun market.
Gun or Rifle. there is a big difference. As for range What power plant do you intend to use. Spring, C02, Pump or PCP? If it PCP then you have the range of a real rifle, at least 1/4 mile
Because of the nature of the PCP power plant I suggest you search the net and look for air gun repair or air gun tune-up. There are shops that tune up air rifles and modify them.
Yes. Pump, Spring and PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) are all more powerful than a C02 system
Any Speed above 1,125 is considered Supersonic. There are several pellet rifles capable of this speed. As an example the PCP Air rifle, Air Force Condor is capable of firing a .177 pellet at 1,450 FPS.
