What happens if you put on a 12″ barrel? Is it ok?

What is lost? Velocity? Accuracy?

Thanks,

Lochman

Looks, good! I just pumped my HPA tank last night with a hand pump, and that’s pretty dang hard! And I regularly lift weights!!! My wife was too small, she couldn’t pump it cause she lifted off the ground!

Yeah, I see CO2 in the future! : )

So what size tank is that one you got from Pyramyd? 20oz? Also, that buttplate looks…Read more

I have a Talon that is .22 and is regular air. I also use a hand pump.

I shoot exclusively indoors during the winter. CO2 seems kind of cool, 1000 shots would work well for me with no pumping! Right?

So what do I need to convert? Just the CO2 adapter and a tank?

Where can I get the tank and…Read more

I am quite impressed with the build quality, the balance and the feel! And I haven’t even had a chance to shoot it yet!

It is just really, really nice!

You all were right, these guns are pretty sweet!

It almost balances better then my 10m air rifle!

They get my vote, and will get every bit of my business in the future!

Usually I shoot 10m air pistol with my IZZY 46m and 10m air rifle with my Avanti/Daisy 753. But the darn targets are too small to even hope to see! In fact one of the targets is the size of a normal .22 pellet! So peep sights…Read more

I think you’ve sold me, I’m going to put a scope on my new Talon!

Thanks for your input!

Wow, good to hear about the number of shots! Bummed to hear about the noise, I’m used to almost no noise. I actually would have preferred a .177 barrel, but the price was too good on this gun, so .22 it is.

I’m up in the air about how to treat this gun! Either I scope this one and use my other more targetish gun for the 10m targets…Read more

Yeah, I’ll be shooting at 10 meters almost exclusively, so hoping to get 200 shot per fill, we shall see. I have no idea, as I don’t even have the gun yet! Should get it in a week. I’ll be buying the air pump and iron sights or scope for it next week.

You don’t shoot iron sights by chance do you?

I just got a new Talon (no ss) and I was wondering, if I turn it down to it’s lowest setting, 400 fps and 12 fpe, I should get several hundred shots out of one tank fill right?

Thanks, I looked at the newbie pages and it stated something like 400 shots per fill, but that is so high, I just need somebody to verify for me! It’s quite…Read more

I have a question about the Air Force Iron Sights.

Does anyone use them with any good results? I have heard they are just “OK”.

Specifically does anyone target shoot with them? I would like to use them to shoot targets, but I wondered if they are any good. I am quite used to iron sights as regularly shoot pistols with iron sights.…Read more

Just a smaller air tank? Yeah, that peep off the Edge would be perfect.

Maybe I should wait for the edge? I called Air Force and they said they’re taking orders for it. It’ll be available in April I guess. But man, first it was white, now it’s pinkish red, who knows what the final product will…Read more

But I’d like to shoot mostly 10 meter targets indoors. I’d like to rig the gun as much like a match air rifle as possible.

I saw the “Edge” that Air Force is going to come out with later this year, but I kind of like the Talon SS better. What kinds of accessories can one get for the Talon SS?…Read more
