[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 3539033, member: 7629"] it's a common misnomer to compare by how powerful an airgun. Beeman R1 was the first to successfully market in America with claims of 1,000 fps. this was many decades ago. have lost track for PCP, but 20ft lb energy from .177 PCP is not that unusual. most folks that shoot PCP are using larger pellets. by the time one factors in carbon tank and much $$ for PCP rifle. costs are not much different from firearms. my .458 Outlaw hand made by Dennis Quakenbush is a PCP that puts out 500+ ft lb energy and have taken buffaloes. I'm shooting a projectile that's 405 grains cast for 45-70. fyi it took me several years of chasing down Quackenbush before I successfully nailed an Outlaw down. I ordered the deluxe version with beautiful wood. what I didn't know was Quackenbush matched finish grade of metal with finish grade of wood.
