hy guys can the .22 caliber springer pistols be tuned with a new spring etc to shoot the pellets at really high velocities?
if so, whatsd the best gun to use to do this with?
can a springer pistol be tuned up todo large velocities?

hahaha .... it's funny I just thought about my friend when first time firing
his S&W magnum at BRRC, the marshall told him to move back because
it will hit the ceiling of the windows opening .........lol....... and sure enough
the gun kicked up quite a bit ...
I think JezX is right porting is way to go. Perhaps how about using HW45 ...
It'll be expensive project if it's doesn't work .....
Putting in an excessivley large spring might buy you a few more FPS , but will more likley vibrate excessivley , and destroy your accuracy . Induced dieseling will get you a few more FPS at a long term detriment to your gun . A good springer is mostly an exercise in engineering balance . Cleaning , proper seals , and good lubrication are your best /safest bet .

More spring doesn't always give more velocity in pistols. I once tested a friend's Tempest with a dual spring that was very difficult to cock. The added spring tension gave no more velocity then an untuned pistol. The stroke volume has a lot to do with output. You can find the details at my web site (Other reviews).

The .22 caliber Weihrauch HW45 springer pistol is about as good as it gets for power. A healthy shooting HW45 will do about 6 FPE. Mine did that when new. I got 5.74 FPE a couple of days ago using 14.5gr H&N FTT.
If you want more pistol power then consider a CO2 or PCP with a 10"-12" barrel. This length will give you reasonable output in a package that still resembles a pistol. The downfall of the CO2 airgun is the temperature sensitivity found in many models. The PCP might be a better bet for cold temps. If you stick to 495fps you will stay within legal limits.
