From the UK here but have access to a few different power levels. I agree with you about how on small varmints you need less than 5 ftlbs on impact. Muzzle energy is less important than muzzle velocity and the coefficient to retain that velocity. Weve come a long way from diablos and a .22 20gr slug coming out at 850fps is a fantastically accurate, effective, and safe varmint hunter. Flatish tragectory great power rention, efficient on air usage, quiet and hits like a train on rabbits out at 50-90yards which is a good enough distance to stalk to without spooking them

Wow, there are just so many variables that go into this topic. I believe that when it comes to pesting or hunting that FPE isn't quite as important as shot placement. One of the videos that comes to mind is the guy on KZbin who dropped a full grown Elk with one shot from an FX Impact M3 in 30 cal. The Elk turned away from him and he shot it in the skull right in-between the ears and that Elk dropped without a single twitch. Here's the kicker, he used a pellet and not a slug. Seen another video here on KZbin of a guy dropping a 400lb hog with the same gun, an FX Impact M3 in 30 cal (but was using slugs). I believe that when it comes to FPE that we need enough to penetrate specific areas for a good clean kill. That being said, how much FPE and speed do we need to penetrate the skull of a given animal (within a certain range of course). And aside from FPE, there is also projectile design whether it's a pellet or a slug. You take a JSB Hades for example, in 22 cal let's say. That 15gr 22 caliber pellet, upon impact, expands to around the diameter of a 30 cal. So regardless of FPE, there is also the projectile size, when expanded, that is contributing the overall effect of the shot. Similar with powder burners. I can shoot a coyote with a 55gr fmj 223 and it will penetrate into the heart and pass through and the coyote will still run a tiny ways. But I can also shoot a coyote with a 55gr VMax in 223 and that bullet will make a damn near fist size hole in it and it will drop like a brick upon impact. Same size bullet, same caliber, but one has a much more efficient design for the task at hand. Personally, I like as much power as I can get without sacrificing accuracy, and then I turn to the projectile that has the best design and size for what I am going to be using it for. I think that's the ticket.

Townsend Whelen is who said "only accurate rifles are interesting" back in the 50's . Sam Fadala has some good books out there on the subject of energy albeit his works are mostly related to black powder guns. One of his quotes I like relating to energy is " You have to start with something" While I don't suffer from magnumitis, I think taking a minimalist attitude towards airgun power is the wrong approach especially considering the low levels of power we're dealing with. I'm not sure where the cutoff is, I've taken squirrels rabbits and various birds with my .177 cal RWS model 34. My pellet choices were anything from standard 7.9 grain to the 10+ grain H&N Barracudas. I doubt the rifle exceeds 13-15 ft lbs with any given projectile and it's been a very effective hunting tool. With these weapons I think penetration and shot placement are the bread winners with energy coming in as an ancillary factor although not an insignificant one! Just my humble thoughts on the matter.

The FX air rifle costs $2,000 and delivers 20 to 30 FPE, which is approximately $90 per FPE. In contrast, my air rifle with 340 FPE was $609, amounting to $1.79 per FPE. At 150 yards, my shots still possess enough FPE to ethically take down coyotes with a lung shot. I never aim for the head; the lungs offer a larger and more reliable target, You may not get that heart shot. power has its place.

I am a moderator on several pages in uk and i live in the states (NY) In the states we make up for lousy skill with more power , yet my brit friends learn to read wind and compensate accordingly because of 12fpe power limitations. Here if there not all in the 10 ring with 30 mph winds then you need more power. Very few people learn to read wind or set their scope up properly in the first place.

Being Canadian shot placement matters the most since we only are allowed 500 fps any energy we want but only 500 fps, for raccoons and possum and skunks I’ve used 17 fpe air rifles firing around 30 grains for 490 fps and have dispatched them in the 20-30 yard/meter mark. Make sure to just aim for eyes or ears and you will have the dispatch is perfectly fine seen much worse from my grand father who would shot groundhogs with .177 500 fps at around 6 fpe and would dispatch groundhogs within 15 yards again eye placement, aim for the soft parts and trust me they will drop.

I think comparing the .22 cal making 120 FPE to a heavy regulated .177 Maverick is not a solid comparisson. Instead of going one caliber down (.22 to .177 pcp) you can also chose to go one caliber up (.30) and get to 115/120 fpe from a 600mm Leshiy 2. PCP will outshoot most .22lr pistols so In the lower end of the spectrum pcp is closing the gap. Like you said, I wouldn't want the airguns to go any higher, for obvious reasons. But it's good that hey try because it pushes the developers and designers to come up with new and better ideas.

Depending where you live it is accuracy at the range you are shooting that counts. For example in New England, most of your small game shots are going to be this side of 50 yards and 6 to 10 ft lbs of energy at the target will be enough. You are right that the charts got inflated too. Have no clue who inflates them and why but they have. The chart you displayed showed 9 FPE for squirrels. In the past it was 6 in most charts. I have a modified 1720 pistol in .177, very accurate doing 9 FPE at the muzzle with 10.5 gr pellets. At 35 yards it goes through both sides of a soup can. Would the squirrel skull know the difference? Now this is where modern PCPs come in, if you live in prairie dog country where you can not approach within 100 yards, you need the extra FPE and again you need that to achieve good accuracy at longer distances.

The problem over the last few years is the marketing BS towards more FPE. OK, I do a lot of testing & my Impact MK2 V2 25 cal can push over 110ftlb (over 12fpe at 1 mile) but i normally have it around 70fpe. But the issue being, especially FX (which I love the brand) is the restrictions of South African calibre for air rifles being 22, unless they apply for a license, which the two FX bods state "can't be bothered" so they push & push the limits on 22cal, which is great for FX as it means the introduction of extras that they say you need. 800mm barrel, carbon sleeves, tension systems, tuners etc etc. Then people buy into it. But the problem is, that I have said many times, it's great seeing what can be achieved but too much FPE leads to reduced precision accuracy, which on small game is bad news. Though a monkeys head at 100yds is a massive target. So more FPE less precision. But then they all reduce the energy for competition as they accept precision is better at reduced fpe. Which they don't generally mention. So all the folk who bought into the more more more FPE gimmick start reducing power, as they miss constantly. KZbin is great to edit misses. It's great how the industry has gone & still going but I feel some people are in it for money otherwise transparency would be better. My Impact MK2 is pretty standard, only slug kit, dual port & 720 plenum & the fpe in can produce is way more than needed. The Epoch looks interesting 🙂

Its an interesting subject. Smash and rupture overkill or the accurate coup de grace. I think most hunters agree on accuracy but none, especially Bush tucker men, like the idea of vaporizing what could have been a nice meal in thanks for the life of an animal or bird. Smashing creatures into oblivion just seems more the mindless action of a childish video game player, than a mature experienced hunter. In Scotland I filled up my freezer with Rabbits, Wood pigeons and pheasants with a Brocock cartridge air rifle .22. It was the weakest air gun I ever owned. Well under 10fpds. But could easily put the pellets behind the rabbits ear. The birds were a different challenge with this pea shooter. They had to be shot against the grain of their feathers or the pellets simply bounced off. But all this simply emphasizes the excellent points made in this video. Crude Power helps but without accuracy its shooting at fresh air. Tactics are also very important. In winter, roosting birds dont like the cold wing blowing up their feathers. So they face the wind to hold their warmth and fluff out their feathers to improve insulation. Making them more vulnerable to the hunter and pellets that come with the breeze.

@@ShootingTargets727 And thank you. By the way am all for pest control. But I don't really get the idea of a " humane" kill. In my mind, unless you are killing an animal to put it out of some misery and pain, that concept just isn't realistic. We are talking about healthy animals. In some instances perhaps too healthy. But we are taking an innocent form of life. I think what we are really talking about with respect to humane, is our wish to minimize any suffering in our attempt to kill. This brings up the question of suffering and perhaps how long an injured animal might suffer if our shots are not on target. Ultimately this leads to moral and ethical issues. But that risk is always there. I cant say that I have never felt the guilt. Especially when I have taken what didn't have any reason to be taken. Why take a shot at a creature when just as much or more joy can come from a paper target or tin can. Sure! Instant kills are far from guaranteed. But few things are. We will all die in time.. Hats of to the accurate hunter that knows there is only one way to go. And that's b4 the pain impulses even reach the brain. And that's why we want the most accurate rifles and ammo available at the price we can afford. Hunt and shoot with purpose, as I believe you do my friend. The rest is in gods hands.

At 48 J Its the same joule mm2 as the .177.. .48 x 15,9 div. by 23,75 is 32..

@@ShootingTargets727 Well. Nobody does..Thats why .50 and .72 where invented..But it has also to do with max velocity..A .177 barracuda at 930 ftp can not go muth faster and hit where you aim. A .22 barracuda at 930 Fps has about 20 procent more power per mm2. But will be fine with 950-970 fpe..Anyways the difference to a .177 will be +- 5-7 mm on the skull...SO..Aim is everything.

You keep referring to the rifle in the video as a .177 FX Impact But the rifle that you have there is an FX Maverick, Not an FX Impact

Good info, but you are ghey for supporting less power as the air rifle tech advances.

If a airgun isn't accurate its not worth shooting high power or not
