The barrel length will effect the power generated by the gun. A longer barrel will yield more power if everything else is the same. The way I understand it, the longer barrel has more room for the air to expand and push the pellet before the pellet exits the barrel. That being said, a longer barrel can be more efficient than a shorter barrel since you can generate the same FPS (power) using less air.This is the reason I like the Bull Pup design. You have a full length barrel, and therefore full power capability, with a shorter overall length.kgb
If we accept 100% that this is so (I do not think I'm against) then the choice between the three options is mainly a personal choice because if a large power only is sought, it will be chosen as a "carbine" because of the longer barrel (this is not always the case ...)?And what is the "length" of the barrel when firing with pellets vs slugs ?
Thanks friends! You Rock! Dairyboy are these data about Taipan? For another yours rifle or have it somewhere?
I can verify my mutant standard in .22 tops out at 38fpe. Wastes a lot of air at that power level though, when calculating efficiency of air used per ft/lbs

Any luck with Nick's slugs?
Quote from: Dairyboy on September 19, 2018, 03:17:12 PMAny luck with Nick's slugs?Yeah they were one hole on my 25 yard range at the house. I took it to the range and at 50 yards they opened up to 2 inches, and at 100 yards I could not hit paper. I think they were spiraling. I didn't take my pins with me, so I couldn't adjust power at the range, I was set a bit below max power at 31fpe, which is what I keep it at for JSB 18gr.One of these days soon, I'll be at the range to shoot the winnie some more, and I'll try again, set to 35-38fpe, and see if that helps stabilize them.
Consider buying a cheap set of numbered drill bits on Amazon. Two among them will fit nicely, one snug and the next just a little loose, and are longer so you can get more leverage.
