powerwheel`s weird science
Hi guys,
i was wondering what the adjustmentsrange of the powerwheel is. I`ve got a standard Condor, i used baracuda extra ` eavy pellets (21.5 grain), yanked 200 bar in the gun, got myself a cup of coffee, sumpin to smoke and my chrony.
I took 30 shots with the powerwheel on the max, here are the numbers:
01 1022.9
02 1036.7
03 1009.8
04 985.1
05 977.5
06 988.2
07 981.4
08 974.1
09 967.7
10 959.5
That`s about 54 FPE for the first 10 shots.
11 951.3
12 951
13 938.5
14 930.5
15 924.5
16 916.5
17 911.4
18 903.7
19 898.2
20 889.4
That`s about 46.7 FPE over the second 10 shots.
21 882.7
22 875.7
23 865.9
24 858.6
25 847
26 841.2
27 825.7
28 820.8
29 812.6
30 799
And that`s 39.3 FPE.
Next thing i did was get me another cup of coffee, another smoke and the next shotstring. I adjusted the powerwhgeel to the lowest possible setting for this string.
01 956.6
02 966.8
03 977.8
04 972.9
05 976
06 966.8
07 961.3
08 958.3
09 965.6
10 966.2
These 10 give an avarage of 51.6 FPE.
11 966.8
12 956.1
13 963.2
14 955.5
15 954.6
16 949.7
17 946.4
18 941.2
19 933.9
20 933.3
WTF!? 49.7 FPE? That`s even more than on the highest powersetting!
21 926.
22 925.7
23 921.7
24 912
25 908.3
26 905.9
27 897.6
28 887.9
29 883.9
30 875.7
That`s very funny, this string is 45.1 FPE.
On the highest setting the Condor is doing an average of 46.6 FPE. On the lowest possible powersetting the Condor is doing an average of 48.8 FPE.
The only thing the high setting of the powerwheel accomplishes is a waste of air and a surplus of noise. (noise is an important feature. i don`t want anyone to wonder ‘what the hell is he doing? when i`m shooting people hear i`m shooting)
Over the first 10 shots the higher powersetting has any use, in de zecond and thid string the lower powersetting is more powerfull!
In the 30 shots fired in the highest powersetting the difference between the fastest and the lowest shot is 238 feet! The difference in the shotstring in de lower powersetting is 102 feet.
Am i mistaking when i say theat the powerwheel is as usefull as a lollipop with a cockflavor?
Well, lemme hear you about this little test.
Take care.

Hi,
the plan was to do just about that Mamcrackin. I`ll see if the weather is a bit okay tomorrow, if it is i`m gonna give it a go. Maybe it`ll give some results that are gonna get the old eyebrows raising.
I`m gonna keep ya guys posted.
