1500fps air rifle pierces 1.25" of pressure treated maple

what gun do you have?

[drewnickel]

@TheAirhunter69 it's a beeman rs1 modified with a stronger barrel blank ( the same used for .17hmr's but without the cartridge chambering, just the bore and rifling) a titanium piston, tougher spring and thicker seal, so it can diesel efficiently and without damaging the gun, I clean it every 20 shots to avoid sut and lead build up. it'll pierce up to 2" with a saboted tugsten steel penetrator from a used .223 ap round

@drewnickel dang thats nice

[drewnickel]

@TheAirhunter69 it was no more than $140, I already had the parts and my friend machined it for me and it just worked, it's 1050fps without and I get .25" groups at 25yds, 1500+fps with diesling with lead and I still get less than half inch groups at the same range, without diesling pba raptor pellets go about 1300fps and will have surprisingly good accuracy, about half inch at 25yds, and with diesling it's 1875fps with accuracy about 3/4" at 25yds.

@drewnickel i wanna make one ha ha

@TheAirhunter69 they're fun, but I wouldn't suggest it, the spring's constantly under tension and could fly out with lethal force (this proven when it shot into the drywall ceiling of my house). you can diesel it but only a tiny bit in the skirt of the pellet, only enough to see a bit, tap it on a piece of paper to get the extra off, and then clean after every 10 or so shots so it'll maintain accuracy. it'll have the same power, but not the durability so dont do it often

@drewnickel i wouldnt deisel but id put the the spring in it i think ill do it to my p.o.s b-31

[drewnickel]

@TheAirhunter69 I'd be very careful though, it's extremely dangerous, I got lucky on the first try, but you could end up ruining your gun or getting seriously injured

@drewnickel oh ok i could care less about the gun but not worth getting injured lol thanks for the warning
