The meaning of such a statement producer for many experts is lost for one simple reason - Unknown bullet weight and its rigidity. It turns out that the manufacturer measured the velocity of the air at the outlet of the barrel?

Empirically arrows set the optimum weight range bullets, with which you can achieve the best results for the shot power: 0, 50-0, 8 grams. Moreover, many note the fact that the power of the shot increases with the softness of lead. And if the edge has become the question of the choice of bullets, it is better to give preference to Beeman Kodiaks, weight 0, 69 grams or Crosman Premier with a weight of 0, 51 grams.
