The holes provide an escape for the pressurized gasses where they can exit slowly and without sound. This decreases the pressure inside the shroud/frame area. It is this pressure that causes any sound. The distinct “Crack” from an unshrouded PCP is from the extremely high pressure air being…Read more

This would (in theory) yield and equal and opposite reaction where the entirety of the energy in the hammer is transferred to the breech with more efficiency.

A .22 condor easily hits over 1000 fps with jsb 18.1 gr. that gives you both the trajectory and raw power you’re looking for. In general go with the PCP every time. they usually have better velocities and accuracy

It should be easy to avoid that law if you dont own any other firearm. They dont arrest you for having one, it is the intent to use it on a firearm that makes it illegal, and if you don’t own one then you’re good.
