S16 does not have a power adjustment. CO2 will in fact be slower than HPA. 14.3 grain CP’s average about 950 fps using HPA…. I think the .22 raptors are 9.9 grains so they would definitely go sonic with HPA… they should be subsonic with CO2 (especially if its cold out). May need to factor local conditions (altitude, temp, etc).

However, there are three reasons I would recommend against them. 1) Too light (5.4 grains) and will undoubtedly go supersonic which is loud, but more importantly inaccurate (the sonic boom de-stabilizes the pellet) 2) Most airgun manufacturers recommend use of lead pellets…Read more
