Hey, today I decided to test out my QB's (.22) power and accuracy. So I started off with a standard Yellowpages phonebook (dry) and began to test power at different distances. I also got target paper..different in sizes and also shot from different distances. Here are my results: (Please post your results too)

**This test was done without using ANY scope. Just stock sights.

5' feet = 259 pages : Test 1 (Wadcutters .22 *13.9grs*) - Measured by how far pages were broken
40' feet = 245 pages : Test 2 (Wadcutters .22 *13.9grs*) - Measured by how far pages were broken

----------------------------------

1.0 Inch" grouping at 40' feet : Test 1 *Stomach flat, using lunchbox as a stand*
1.15 Inch' grouping at 45' feet : Test 2 *Stomach flat, using lunchbox as a stand*

Will do another test once I get a scope.

WOW ... P11..... excellent result congratulations..... good shooting.

Wait untill you get your scope you will hit the 1/4" dot over and over again at min. 20 yards (60 ft).

Thanks, I'll probably get the scope sometime this week.

Mine with a scope hits the same hole over and over agian at 7 meters (thats how long my indoor shooting area is that I set up). As far as power, I'm very happy, lets say I mostly shoot 16.8 grain Ruko pellets and I won't post my chrony results.

I have not touched anything on the gun yet as far as modifications with the exception of a muzzle brake that I made for it last night.

Let me know how the muzzle brake alters its performance.

As far as velocity it still shoots exactly the same. Accuracy, I'd say at least at 7 meters its the same. I mean if you keep hitting the same hole over and over, how much better can it get? The muzzle brake did make the gun quite a bit more quiet though...At least from the shooters position.

How long is the muzzle brake?

I'm not sure, I'll have to measure it when I get home tonight.

Thats pretty powerful...however, I used a dry phonebook. I'll try wetting it and see what happens.

so are u not or are you supposed to wet it?
i got the impression that you were supposed to wet it because it simulates
flesh.

Don't make it yet!!! Just going to end up with a sloppy mess and accomplish perhaps even less. Wet newsprint is less sound than dry.
