Performance:
The velocity
varies quite a bit, unlike the revolvers which remain quite consistent.
The average reading I get falls between 526 to 537 FPS with .29g Grandmaster
BBs and green gas. This was taken mid-afternoon at aproximately 74 F and
with relatively high humidity (normal Hawaiian temperature)
I was told to shave
down the readings by 15fps to get the actual reading, which would be about
515 FPS. I’ll post another update as my friend chronos his for comparison.

PEGASUS
gas system:
The
PEGASUS system is the magazine itself. The picture above left shows the plunger. Its the T-shaped lever toward the right. |
The
fill valve requires no adaptor or extension. Simple enough to figure out ^_^ |

Safety:
With safety latch up, the trigger is disengaged, but the bolt handle still can be moved. |
If the latch is far right, then both the trigger and bolt handle is disengaged. |

Add-on: (Sling)
The primary
reason why I ordered the sling is to just fill the gap in the stock. Its
very simple to install and the instruction manual for the gun already has
the directions. Even if you can’t read Japanese, the pictures are pretty
self explanitory.
It’s pretty good quality
leather, and I think it will start to look even better as it gets worn down.
Be careful of the front loop as the bracket on the gun will tend to loosen
if you put too much tension on it (ie: running with gun slung on your back)
I doubt it will come off, but just something to watch out for.
And so? A worthy “sniper” rifle? Well, the hop-up is adjustable, and the power source is gas, so unfortunately, I would have to say “no.” The “one shot one kill” motto is going to be a bit challenging to live up to if you are used to long distance kills. Nevertheless, However, keep |
Conclusion: You’ll be able I originally bought A sure winner Tanaka Works is Who really knows Perhaps they may |
