Why psi from 2200 down to 1000 produces best fps in P-rod?
Dear ignorant louts….
The Marauder pistol performs best, using 18.1 JSB Heavies, at a beginning pressure of 2200 psi which gives 650 psi, rises to 700 psi at 2000 psi, and drops back to 650 psi at 1000 psi, over a span of three magazines, or 24 shots.
At 650 fps, an 18.1gr pellet gives 16.98 fpe, plenty for what I want to do with a short carbine. At 700 fps, this same pellets gives 19.70 fpe. Not a bad result for shooting distances of less than 75 feet at raccoons, possum, snakes, and the neighbor’s dock lights.
I have two questions:
A) Having installed a poly port, adjusted the spring to one stroke within max adjustment, and the valve to max duration, why does the gun perform best at such low psi?
2) What can I do to bring the pistol up to optimum performance levels at the rated 3000 psi? I like the number “700” a lot!
ii) With a head shot, would this drop a deer at less than 100 feet?:nono:
Yes, I know the answer lies in posts all over the web. However, I am in Arkansas, and our MBPS is measured in MBPM (MegaBytes Per Month).
Might one of our more literate members, who owns a P-rod, have a site address that may help, or possibly be personally lucid enough to provide valid information pertaining to my inquiry?
Sincerest best wishes to all…

Ahh HYFKMM!
Not sure about those specific guns but sounds like you can’t open the 3000psi fill?
Humanely kill the deer? 😆
Hoot,
That is a very racially insensitive post, it sterotypes Mexican Americans who come here for a better lifestyle with a untruth, they do not spit out anchor babies every 9 months!
It is every nine months and 20 minutes you racist. 😛

Don’t call me “Jesus Hoot”. I’m not Mexican! :whoop:
Besides, it’s not pronounced “Jesus”…it’s “Hey-suse”….you insensitive, cultural moron! I want to personally apologize to all the illegal aliens reading this post…provided you fuckers can put down your government welfare checks, housing assistance vouchers, stop dropping anchor babies every nine months, and sneaking in every damn relative you have in latin America. You’ll all have to pardon ssshooter, as he is not too bright, has a bad temper, and lacks proper political correctness.
Best wishes to all involved…

I visited a Leprosy colony when I was in Korea a few years ago… It Was a very eye opening experience. Glad we don’t have it here.
Hoot,
Not too many people in America have actually seen a Lepper, and probably no one on this forum has.
Except me.
I was walking one night on deserted a side street in Manila, it was maybe 3:30 AM,
I was going back to my Hotel, and in that part of town the city never closes. A lot of people sleep on the side street, just lie down on the concrete and go to sleep, poverty like you have never seen before.
Americans think we have poverty here, according to the American definition we do, but by world standards, our poor are filthy rich, mostly filthy.
Anyway, I see this wretched creature, his back to me, sleeping on the concrete sidewalk, covered in the worst fucking sores from head to toe. When I say sores, I mean like Leopard has spots, that thick.
I did not see his fingers to see if they were still there, and quite frankly I walked a little faster to my Hotel and took a long hot shower.
Could of been it was not leprosy, I did not wake him to ask, but it looked like pictures I have seen, but hell he may just of had Small Pox.
Good fucking grief!

Try a motion activated “grasshopper” sprinkler. I know many people around here that use them against deer with great success. http://www.bird-x.com/products/specifications.html and http://www.bird-x.com/hydroblast-scarecrow-p-46.html
On the farm we shot them with whatever we had in our hand period.
Many deer dropped to a 22 long rifle which many air guns approach power wise. probably not that pistol but close enough and they would sure have a serious head ache! lol
What do you mean how did I find the barrel? Dipshit! It was where it always is, at the end of the breech!!! Hell no I’m not going to return it! The gun won’t shoot without it. The barrel is plenty accurate. At 20 meters I can get a dime sized group easily. It’s just a standard Crosman 12″ barrel with a shroud.
Jesus Hoot – it’s a turn of phrase – next time I’ll say “do you like the barrel” or “would you prefer a little anal action with your barrel”

Roach, we have three deer seasons here where I live. It is estimated there are over 10,000 deer in our community, and since people feed them, they often have triplets. After a Bajillion car strikes, it dawned on the property owners association that perhaps we had too many. Now each Spring and Fall they allow an unlimited number of deer to be culled from tree stands with bows and crossbows. Average number culled per hunt = 150 deer.
It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out the birth rate outstrips the cull rate by a factor of 100 billion. So the damn things continue to eat my wife’s plants…hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth each year.
It’s only fair if they eat my stuff, I get to eat theirs. I don’t kill for fun. I eat what I kill. Armadillos are kind of tough to get down, but if gutted properly, and placed on their back in an oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, they are good on the half-shell with butter and sour cream. A body might want to get their leprosy shots updated if they do this.

Hoot,
Years ago, the statues of limitations has expired many times over, I had deer on my wooden deck at night that would wake me up while eating thousands of dollars of leafless ornamental plants.
Depredation permits were easy to come by and even tho I could, I was reluctant to kill them, they were after all my food supply in the falls season
I had a black powder cartridge shotgun, a 1887 12 gauge Winchester lever gun. that I loaded with 6 shot, and 70 grains of 2 F for just for SASs competetion and just such an occaision.
Past 50 yards it just sacared the bejeezus out of them when I would shoot over their backs, but I often doubted if it did hit them with a stray pellet, if it would penetrate the skin, for the same old buck and his harem of 20 or so does would be at it the next night without any evidence of harm.
We had been doing this game for a few winters at this point.
He had lost is horns and other than size looked like the rest of the does, when I ambushed the bastards one night in 10 below weather, barefoot in 4 inches of snow on my deck wearing only my skivies, after being awakend the upteenth time as the fuckers destroyed my ornamental plants, he was at what looked like 50 yards standing alone, so I felt confident in letting him have the fear and damnation that blast would give.
He droppped like a rock at the report!
I donned clothing and boots and went out to where he lay and understood what had happened instanttly, in the moon light he looked bigger and further out, it turned out, “he”, was actually that springs fawn and was 20 yards, amazing how darkness messes up things like range estimation.
In the next morning light I examined my “prize”, one 6 shot pellet had strayed and entered the skull, and downed the poor creature.
So yes, if you hit them in the right spot, I have no doubt it will, at the very least it will chip the inside of the skull, without penetrating it, sending shards of bone into the brain.
By the way, they left and never came back, deer are sometimes like that once you kill one of them.
Regards,
Roachcreek
I’d say don’t mess with it any more if it’s shooting great… but that itch is a hard one not to scratch!!
How did you find the barrel? is it accurate? did you have to return it?
