Several hundreds of meters..and several meters off..
Think of it as an old smoothbore blackpowder musket.
At close range it could probably kill a deer.
At longe range it could only kill a deer if I were aiming at a barndoor in the other direction..
( maverick has expressed his fear of the topic being locked for this reference to hunting: note: I am against hunting, even when done correctly. Just trying to illustrate it's power compared to it's lack of accuracy in a funny way)

More updates:
Added sling and finished front grip checkering.
Couldn't use the focus button as no flash means no picture at night...
Just to give you an idea:

The hammer valve is one he made himself.turner wrote:What are you using for the hammer valve
I presume you mean the QEV's piston, and yes. The spring is partly what gives the setup he is using the capability for multiple shots. Also I'm unsure as to whether there is an EQ hole... sorry.turner wrote:is there a spring and eq hole in your piston?

WrongThe spring is partly what gives the setup he is using the capability for multiple shots
The spring enables it to be pressurised from the chamber.
The eq hole enables it to repeat.
For example.If I would loose the spring I'd have to keep the Barrel port closed with my thumb for two seconds for it to seal while pressurising.
After that everything is the same.
So yes..it has an eq hole..
But I think I've explained this in the very first post of this thread..
Like far cry's sig says:
R.t.m.f.t.b.y.m.f.p....
I have made things completely differently just like it also...i have made the same boltaction but it goes in the other way

Putting these here because they're vaguely related and mostly for the benefit of Btb
I recently had the pleasure of feasting my eyes on some genuine Girandoni air rifles while in Vienna, herewith some photos:

My pleasure, if you ever find yourself in Vienna do make sure to visit the arms and armour collection (Hofjagd und Rüstkammer) in the Hofburg, some amazing pieces - I'm just sorry my visit was hampered by a bored, tired and nagging ladyfriend, ah well. I might post more of these later. Detailed pneumatic mortar post to follow this evening

I actually asked about this, the best information I got was that it was a tool used during valve servicing.Brian the brain wrote:what is this part?
