is it possible?

Fri Sep 18, 2015 3:51 pm

is it possible to get piston slam against the compression tube? has anyone had any evidence of this, piston damage etc.
im not sure that you can, unless the transfer port has been opened up to such of an extent, or shortened. if all seals are good, transfer port of a suitable restriction, the air compressed in front of the piston in my mind should create a cushion, and act as an air brake. the air passing through the transfer port must be limmited to mach 1, the piston behind the pellet in front, so the air can not get out of the way.
Any thoughts?
Gary.

If dry fired I think, no compression as you mention. The only other way would be like an acquaintance of mine, he loaded a .177 pellet into a .22 Weirhauch and wrecked it.

I also watched a bloke at the range with his 'new second hand' Gaystate fire 20 shots at 20 yards thinking it wasn't working. It was so quiet he didn't know it was shooting out to 50 yards, he only needed to adjust his scope. He later buggered the battery and ended up spending £300 on getting it repaired, I stood in despair listening to the tale and thanked the Lord for my Rapid and AA guns.
