Lead BBs would be a better option for power, of course you can only use them once as the get deformed but their higher sectional density means they are more efficient in the barrel, giving you a greater muzzle energy, and they will retain that energy for longer - plus of course they will take advantage of a rifled barrel if you have access to one.

Duh!
Waiting for a tax return and I'll get one off an auction site.
A break barrel air rifle that is.
And stick the stock onto Overkill muhahaha

quick question... about how long can you fire this thing before it runs out of pressure?

Now I'm filling it with air..
3 seconds of BTB approved firing
Then about three more seconds of I imagine "ouchy
" shots, and then about two seconds of..hey, did you hit me or not?
Something like that..Pressure drops pretty fast.
Unregged CO2 will up performance quite a bit.

hahaha.
Care to repeat that when I'm pointing the red little dot at your eyelid??
But ...what presssure is helium normally stored at?
The handle can take 230 bar safe...

Curses, now why didn't I think of that

That's not really an issue. My SCUBA tank is filled to 300 bar, I fill my rifles to 230-200 bar using the tank's own regulator.

Mmm...nah, I'll just go with wussy unregged CO2..

You might want to consider some sort of insulated jacket for the tank, since you're essentially just dumping CO<sub>2</sub> it might lead to freezing problems.

A jacket, full metal or otherwise..Now
that is for wussies!
Do CO2 fire extinquishers freeze up?
Freezing up indicates the presence of water, wich would mean I'd have to get a CO2
AND a
water refill..??

Such as, Exhibit A:
Is there much loss in power with the supressor on?

Yet to try with a full tank..I imagine it will cost me some performance.
The silencer might create a little cusion of air in front of the bb.
It's just one of those-got to make it- things cause it's cool.
The noise is not so bad, and ofcourse unidentifiable to neighbours without it, so no problem.
