" World's Most Powerful Production Air Rifle "

Airforce states the barrel is 1 twist in 20".

So how about the .309 cal Chimera Mk3?

Short video of what shooting 737 ft/lbs looks like:

Also, here is there website with some better pics of the actual gun: http://www.chimeradefencesystems.com/gallery/index.php]http://www.chimeradefencesystems.com/gallery/index.php

There is no way a .308 is making that power. The gun that makes that power is .457 or .58

I think Tom's BullPup in .452 would be a winner

I agree with you on this one

Love his gun and I'm do not like pullpups

I believe the Chimera Launcher (1000J) is a .75 cal, shooting 680 gr. at about 700 fps.... You are not going to get that power from a .30 cal, they are two different guns....

Scratching my head here??

The Chimera system is an interesting concept along with a unique targeted audience with one fatal flaw that I can see. If I was in charge of a ships defenses and to protect against pirates then I want something more then a single shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StevenG]

There is another fatal flaw, in many ports that would be considered a firearm. Which is why large capacity firefighting hoses are so popular. They can be targeted remotely and allow the crew to discover just how well pirates swim.

Well looks like they pulled the video of the chrony numbers.

Doesn't matter I saw it and wrote down the numbers. Pretty sad 

914 fps with 143 gr  265 fpe
831 fps with 200 gr  306 fpe
807 fps with 180 gr  180 fpe
714 fps with 343 gr  388 foe

5 shot strings and most were 100 fps lower on the 5th shot.

Wonder if this is production gun? Love how they hype up the gun and then the numbers don't match the hype. 

[rsterne]

I believe I said earlier that the first numbers released (showing 1000 fps with roundball and 500 FPE with the heaviest bullet) were very likely a single shot at maximum fill pressure and settings.... That would indeed appear to be the case.... Should anyone be surprised?.... Advertising is advertising.... I would be the most interested in what the velocity is when the gun is adjusted for 3 shots with minimum ES, or even 2 shots with equal velocity.... IMO anything else with a big-bore is just air-wasting fluff....
