The pellet is a jsb 4.52 in .177

Well he opened it up only to find e.j’s is no match for jsb or baracuda’s in this barrel. When…Read more

I’m amazed with the accuracy of this little gun @ 30yards.
The bottom right group is awesome!

With such pedigree and the extra attention she received, she’ll definitely fit the bill. Congrats and enjoy.

She’s about 94cm (37″) short including silencer. Very maneuverable and accurate. I’ve now routinely shot 6mm edge to edge 5 shot groupings indoors @ 30m with jsb 4.52.

I’ve lost about 1 magazine’s worth of shots because of shorter barrel for same power, but that’s a sacrifice i was willing to make.

Cheers.

Don’t worry too much about super speed for long range. My Talon with 18″ running in the low 900’s with jsb’s just went under 1MOA (10mm)on Saturday @ 100m for 3shots before the target fell over. I know 3 shots is not conclusive, but it deserves…Read more

The classic with carbine barrel look something like this – ideal for f.t / hft. You can also do this conversion to the extra fac and slap on a classic barrel if you want even more shots and still want to keep it down to a reasonable length.

My Talon with 18″ barrel and stock valve can shoot jsb’s @ about 980fps, but uses more than 1.5bar per shot and only for a few shot before dropping off. Now i’m shooting jsb’s @ +- 930 fps for around 50 shots with a very low e.s and it uses about 0.6bar per shot (26ft/lbs).

My first .20 wouldn’t group at all, but once the loading area was opened up a bit, the accuracy improved dramatically. I now have a .20 HW barrel on my Talon and the loading area is perfect for ej’s and jsb’s, but too big for kodiaks.

My current setup (talon 18″ .20 with new brass valve) is alot better. Shoots from a 180bar fill to 150bar for 50 shots @ 930-900 fps. Power wheel @ 0 & th @ 1,2mm.

Best groups normally shown! Most of these gun also runs 30ft/lbs or more, so shot to shot consistency isn’t that much of a factor @ shorter ranges.
