Crosman 114 shot count

[TerryM]

  I have never counted to see just how many shots my favorite 114 can get on a fill, so I did so this week.  Left the gun in the cool garage overnight, next morning I warmed my 20 oz tank slightly in warm water and filled.  I got right at 2 ounces in the gun according to my cheap scale.  Not sure how accurate it is.

  I turned the power adjuster screw out 1 1/2 turns from maximum and began shooting.  5 shot groups at twenty yards.  Quit for the evening after 125 shots.  Didn't expect to get that many.  When I resumed the next day, I noticed the velocity started out a little low before coming up to speed.  Don't know why that is.  I got 75 more usable shots for a total of 200.  Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. 

  My 114s don't seem to shoot as hard as some.  Max seems to be just under 600 fps on full power with a light (13.43 gr) pellet.  Thought some might be interested in this info.



  This is the gun that I did the count with, wears a Weaver B4 on a funky, old, Crosman steel mount.  Been shooting it this way 3 or 4 years.

Wow! That's alot of shooting! I have a 262 that get's around 60 shots per 12 gram cartridge. I thought that was good until now.

Jesus, that's a lot of shooting. How loud is that compared to a Crosman 180?

About the same on noise. I haven't shot my 114 as much but I was on full power and would guess 80 shots. Pretty awesome Terry.

By the way, my 114 doesn't like the JSB' s
