[hattrick]

Alright while browsing GGI (gas gun info) I found a tanaka m500 for sale that had this in the discription.


"For those who don't know, Tanaka revolvers had adjustable velocity. Simply remove the screw in the bottom of the grip, slide the grip off, and adjust the screw that controls hammer spring tension. It's currently set low, so you may want to adjust it higher. Word of caution, to be field legal you pretty much have to use HFC134a. Green gas or propane works great, but you will be shooting way too hot. Last time I chrono'd it in summer weather with green gas it was shooting over 450. So, use HFC134a to keep the FPS legal."

This is the very first I have heard about tanaka revolvers having an ajustable fps. (I know the m700 is ajustable)

I presume this only applies to the pegisus system (non-removable shells)
It may apply only to the m500 series, honestly I dont know.

It has been a year or so since I sold my tanaka revolver so I have no way of confirming this. Come to think of it, i think my chrono is broken too!

So I had the job down to you ASC, LETS GO MYTH BUSTERS ON THIS SHIT AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT!!!

the high fps is what has been stopping people from using their long barrel revolvers for some time, since they fire at a blistering 400+
