Again, nearly a 5% velocity drop for the 2nd shot....

Just for bragging rights, is one thing but it's useless if you are shooting a string. How about tuning the gun for a string and showing some meaningful numbers.

I agree, tune the gun for a 3-shot string with a low ES.... or even two equal velocity shots.... and let us know how much air it uses for those strings as well (pressure drop and tank size)....

490 cc bottle     350 psi per shot with light bullets     2750 psi left in the bottle   before you guys jump up and down about the shot string this is just testing   it can be adjusted   its by no means maxed out by a long shot

Bragging is something you are great at Marko   and I will leave that to you   these are just testing  results there is so much room to adjust
When we hunt  I want my first shot to be the most powerful   and to have a 2nd powerful back up shot  I m not going to go and shoot a 5 shot string Hunting a Cape Buffalo    Im also not going to be shooting at more than 75 yards   if I want to go and shoot paper like you and punch nice tight groups then I can adjust  for that exercise

I think that’s some impressive power. And I see your point about one shot one kill so the others are just backup. But you did say “string” so that’s what got some reaction I suppose. Nonetheless 800 fpe is serious power!
