That is extremely impressive. Looks like it would be a freakin death ray on piggies. Have you considered shooting blunts for smaller game with them? Do you shoot smaller game?
Dam Manny thats really impressive

LOL:)
Did you make the bolts your self? If so can you let us want to be arrow launchers how?

LOL:) It has to do with two major factors one is weight of the projectile. With the extra weight of the projectile the FPE almost always goes up due to using the expanding air more efficiently as a larger heavier projectile is in the bore longer now whats cool about arrow shooters is they increase the length of the barrel because as they rise above the crown they are still sealed to the barrel thus creating more area for the expanding air!!! How cool is that!!! So the arrow is heavier and creates and area for the expanding air to use as its rising and accelerating above the crown.
Are the bolts hollow and unplugged on the end going into the barrel?
Love how compact the carbine is when broken down! I'm sure both have/will put a lot of meat on the table 😎

Your holding back a room full of air in the reservoir and it wants to expand so when you let it out how long it takes the object to get to the end of the bore is measured in time aka milliseconds timing. The longer a object is in the bore the more time the air has time to expand and make energy that’s why longer barrels make more power and heavier ammo makes more power.

I was also thinking, maybe because of the inline valve to bore design the heavy Bolt made the valve stay open longer, and that would also explain the dramatically reduced shot count.Am I way off on this one ?

That won’t effect the valve it’s only factors are the weight and speed of the hammer opening the valve. The heavier slower arrow is simply using the air supplied better.
