The first poll showed that most people wanted no distinction between pellets and bullets, or calibers.... and more people voted that all gun types be treated the same.... but it was close, so I felt another poll, addressing that specific question was a good idea.... Since there is no inherent difference in accuracy between all the types of pneumatics (PCP, pumpers, or CO2), I phrased the question as above.... If you have specific comments, let's hear them!....

I have never tried to shoot a springer at ranges longer than 30yrds so I cannot really say.
If there is a significant difference (someone else please educate me), I think increasing the MOA should make it . . . fair?

I don't know much about pcp/co2/pumpers. With my .177 470th I can hit 3 inch bulls at 100 yards consistently if it's not to windy. So I guess at 100 yards same size targets. Haven't shot the 56th or 350 pc enough to know about them.
But that suggest another question I don't know the answer to. Are springer and gas ram that different?

IMO a Gas Ram IS a Springer, just with a different kind of spring powering the piston (compressed air in a sealed cylinder, instead of a coil of steel wire).... Both have a heavy piston compressing the air to create the shot, and both are subject to the "double recoil" that can make them more difficult to shoot, can destroy scopes, and certainly requires a learned technique.... My only comment on whether or not a separate category is needed is that a long time ago I issued a challenge for guys to shoot five 5-shot groups in a row at 50 yards, no other holes on the paper, and be able to cover all five groups with a dime.... That is basically 1 MOA C-T-C.... Only two guys managed it, and one of those did it with a Springer.... 'nuff said!....

what about pistols ?
I am using a AA alfa proj and 2x7 illuminated scope.
I am shooting out 50-75 yards using scope and 16 inch metal targets.
At this point I am pleased to be hitting at least 51% of the time.
It is a challenge.
