Oh, I know about helium’s lower density, and it’s ability to move more easily through tight spaces than air.That’s why I was wondering if it was a higher volume of gas per trigger pull pushing that pellet to give…a higher FPE? That must have been a higher velocity. Kind of like a valve mod.?

I’ll search for the chrono data. It’s just that I find the idea very interesting, in a gas law kind of way.

Otherwise, what the heck?

So that (obviously) was a jump in velocity with helium.This is fun to think about.
I recall with those “pumpkin cannons” that it was all about the VOLUME of air pushing the pumpkin projectiles, and not the pressure. I recall that being said. As in my previous reply, helium has a much lower density than air.
Do you think it’s about more…Read more

Is velocity and accuracy better?

I’m not sure how helium ,( a gas with less density..but not really less viscosity) helps us in pushing a pellet down the tube. Is there science behind the concept?I know it can overcome “resistance” ( gas pushing through tight places). Does that equate to more “volume of gas” per shot, and thus more velocity?
Interesting.

What was the PSIG gauge thing with the hand grenade ring between the tank and the gun? I have a Talon SS with a 12″ barrel. The absence of a PSI gauge is a drawback, and that looks like I could add it on.

No, there were no aftermarket concerns. Straight out of the box. I actually had accidental discharges as I tried to pull the breech slide home.
