Sadly I can't find any lit to show a single pump, but this video has it at ~400fps for 6grain pellets. You really aren't going to kill the animal with this. I've also been shot with a single pump out of 10 pump and while it'll leave a welt, it didn't break the skin. youtube.com/watch?v=ejel7pzZRDo | |
