Well I shot it a bit this afternoon. Starting at just under 190 bar per the gage on the gun the first few shots 946-949 with Diablo Exact Kings 25.39 grain pellets. At 3 magazines and down to about 100 bar it was shooting 909-895 for the last three shots of the 36. Also, had 8-10 dry fires in there as the Cricket magazine will allow you to feed and fire when its empty. Since I've been shooting Marauders which won't it took me a little bit to get used to that.

44+ solid shots from 190 bar. I think from a 250 fill I'll get the 70 or so I am looking for. Certainly more than the 60 my five 12 shot magazines will hold. I am hoping for 60+ on the regulator.

Summary of cursory shot data. 50+ FPE and 70+ plus seems to be on the table. Its certainly better for power and shot count than my bottled .25 Marauder that gives me 23-24 shots at about 46 FPE.

I can't believe I am saying this. I might actually make the trigger a little heavier. Its pretty smooth, and drops off so easy that I fired before I thought it would twice. No accidental discharges, but a bit of a surprise if you know what I mean.

I have not filled the gun from a tank with a decent gage yet to check it so I don't know how good the gun gage is.

I shot it down to 60 bar, and while elevation certainly started to fall off the gun kept hitting where I expected it to from shot to shot. I was drilling plastic soda bottles out by the fence at 64-69 yards.

I am filling up my new bigger tank right now so I can't shoot it any more until it is filled. My little bottle is down to 2500 PSI. I guess I could tether it and shoot it for that for a little while. That is above what I am told is the regulator pressure. Nah, its getting dark and dinner is ready.

More later...
