Title: 2240 whats the max FPE
Post by: Carlos Fandango on April 04, 2013, 03:01:08 AM
In the UK pistols are limited to 6 FPE, just wondering what is the maximum anyone has got out of one in other countries without the UK limit (Not seeking advice on how to do it BTW, don't want a free stay at one of HM Prisons)

Are you sure you're not thinking about yards instead of FPE? ???

I only ask because 124 FPE would mean your 2240 shot a 18.1 gr JSB Heavy @ 1760 FPS... :o  ;)

Best I've been able to get out of a 2240 using JSB Diabolo Exact pellets weighing in at 14.3 g is about 7 FPE.

I've heard of some crazy powerfuly HPA conversions, but those numbers are definitely up there. Like, most powerful custom rifles.  ???

Allegedly I hear that a 2540 with a 9" barrel and boss valve can get into 15+ territory  ;)

With a boss valve and 24 inch barrel...

Allegedly I hear that the max from a 2540 with 9" barrel I have heard about was 28ft lb  ;)

I thought the OP was just talking about a box stock 2240.  Now a highly modded one is a different story.  12" barrel, Boss valve and still on CO2 I've managed to get 18 FPE.

Wow, 18 with a 12 inch barrel AND on c02....impressive.
The only thing about the boss valve is you almost need to have bulk co2 to use one!
