thirdwheel: might it be that the persons you loaned the pistol, also tried some really cheap & crappy pellets with it? According to my experience with Gecos in my Anschütz LP-@ I find it somewhat difficult to believe that they would cause the troubles you mention, unless they came from a serious...

Proving my point! Now there's 1/10th less "time-in-barrel." I repeated your calculations using a more convenient formula for the relation between distance, final velocity and time in an uniformly accelerated motion starting from rest: d = ½vt => t = 2d/v and got about the same results. Bu...

Sub-six for precision target, then adjust the backsight and aim just below the whiskers for rapid fire target.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what IS it? A sketch to explain the epicycle theory?

It hides behind the hump of the grip.

Here´s a quite similar conversion:

waxman: why should we talk about TOZ-35M, when OP explicitly asks about IZH-35M? They are two different beasts, and only the IZH needs snap caps - or not, I'm not sure. The front face of the firing pin has a flat surface that should hit the back of the chamber and prevent the harm done by dry firing...

Great minds think alike... I have utilized Rover's idea for some time. I use a rubber grommet that is intended for lining holes in sheet metal. Had bought a set of these for another projects so it did no even cost any extra. I keep the grommet in place all the time except when actually shooting pell...

It's not the arrow - it's the Indian!

Nice looking pistol BTW. I own a FWB 100 and at my skill level there's not that much difference in results with it and my "best and most modern" AP, an Anschütz LP-@. But the latter is less tiresome to shoot so that's what I use in competitions.

Rover, I sincerely hope that you are not a heretic.

The gun starts to move backward at the very same moment as the pellet and air start to move forward. You know, conservation of momentum and all that stuff.

Showing traces would be cool but it would also be a perfect excuse to get rid of the politically questionable projectile-launching and go entirely optic. Which I'm afraid is ahead anyway, after firearms and lead are banned.

Could be Webley & Scott Automatic Pistol.

Baikal MP672 is also compatible with Steyr cylinders.

Perfection is an abstraction, like a straight line in mathematics. You can define what it means and picture it in you mind, but you can never actually draw a perfect straight line.

Presuming that the tank is cylindrical, you may calculate a rough estimate. Measure the length of the tank (L). Measure the diameter of the tank (d). The outside volume of the tank is then Vo = L*3.14*(d/2)^2. If we guestimate that the volume for air is 10% less than the outside volume, then the air...

The originator of this post is as clear troll as it gets. Don't feed it.

I shoot AP mostly for my own enjoyment but also participate now and then small local matches, usually with no great success but having a good time anyhow. I'm also a gun collector, and currently run out of certified safe space. Also recent changes in licensing have made gun collecting even more of a...

Could you please specify. What useful information does it hide?

With that naked barrel, looks certanly resembles the LP2. But the LP-@ has the mechanical stabilizer which AFAIK the LP2 lacks. Also the LP-@'s loading system is similar with the LP10, not with the LP2's "pallet" system.

I have an LP-@. The only differences between it and the LP10 are the weight arrangement, the rotating, adjustable width front sight and the muzzle brake / diffuser. I like the pistol very much, it was definitively an improvement over my Feinwerkbau C25.

Just a sidenote: according to what I know about physics, when the chamber warms up it should expand, not tighten. Heat expansion is like enlarging a photograph, proportions stay the same. rogersdan, when you tested it using a rest, was it a rigid clamp like Ransom Rest or did you hold the pistol in ...
