Crosman M4-177 penetration/accuracy testing

[JamesJL]

So i recently purchased a M4-177 from Walmart and decided to do some testing. I bought a bar of name brand glycerin soap and began comparing what pellets i had on hand.                                                   gamo rockets, crosman destroyers, winchester domed and gamo redfires. were used on the glycerin soap.

Firing at point blank range, the rocket pellets showed the best expansion, largest entrance wound and deepest penetration. From the rear of the pellet skirt the penetration distance measures just two millimeters over one inch, and leave a sort of hollow bubble in front of the metal BB on the tip of the pellet. It also penetrates by sides of a plastic water bottle at 26 yards, which is the furthest I've shot it so far.

Surprisingly out of the four pellets i have tried so far, they are the most accurate. I've been able to obtain 1" inch five shot groups at 26" yards quite reliably with the gamo rocket pellets. Although i did have to sort the pellets and did use only undamaged pellets with clean skirts and no visible defects.

While every other gun i have hates the rocket pellets, the M4 actually loves them, but only if I sort though the 600 pellets i have and find the ones that aren't shiit quality.

Overall I am happy with this cheap little gun. I have a 1x24 Simmons red dot on it with adjustable size and brightness, which i think is a 3,5,8,10 moa dot version.

It brings back the old glory days of cheap pump guns Doesn't feel too cheap i like i thought it would either. 

 Just thought id share. I've been up working way to long now...

Cool, I love mine. Mine shoots really good with the destroyers.
