Oh, goodness. I posted a photo of my new 22 piledriver beside a Superpoint on the Crosman forum. Now I'm getting Emails......."where can I get some to play with???"

Sooooooo..........I just advise them that I'm the only source in North America and they are 35.00US for 100.........orders are ROLLING in.

:roll: KIDDING.

It seems that the 'group' is interested in something new to shoot :D

Again - thanks Randy - apparently your hard work has made our little forum the envy of the WORLD!!!!!

RIGHT ON :!: :!: :!:

Cheers - Gus

I shot off a few in the 2240 project of mine. Surprisingly, better than I thought it would have been. They're sure tough to load, they need a little push to get in there, compared to a regular pellet just happily going in. http://airgunfight.blogspot.com/

Just did some penetration tests (I know :roll: ) on a project......cutting a 20" springer to 10". I used Superpoints and the penetration was identical with both barrel lengths. All measured 1/2" in the piece of pine I was using. And yes, the shots were fairly close in order to reduce the effects of differing density in the same piece of wood.

Then I shot some Piledrivers into the same area......and got 3/4" penetration. Unfortunately, the wood belonged to a stud in the wall in my basement.......couldn't take it out to split the wood and determine what actually happened INSIDE the wood to the pellets.

So......further tests will have to wait until it's warm enough to set up in my garage again :evil:

Hopefully someone else will have done this before spring :D

Cheers - Gus :D

Thanks everyone for all the support. I have another shipment on the way dare I say somemore advanced designs but i need to be patient and wait for them too. If ther is enough interest I maybe working with a good friend of mine to start supplying north America in large quantities but time will tell as my next move will be controlled by member product reviews. I hope to use them in my Condor sometime this weekend. Thanks again.

Randy
