[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1839476, member: 39018"] Wondering if the Pnue-Dart pump rifle has the "rifling" in the barrel? And if so, does that seem to actually spin the darts decently enough to make a difference in accuracy? Anybody using the .22 cal powered Pnue-Dart? And does the rifling in that one actually appear to spin that dart enough to make a difference (accuracy)? Seems to me with my Cap-Chur CO2 gun that the heavy darts (10cc+) tend to drop more than I'd "prefer" on the longer range shots... need to compensate a fair amount... not a BIG deal, as long as you're familiar with it. I've got the "mid-range" Cap-Chur pistol, but have never used any other gun, so can't really compare them. None of the Cap-Chur guns have the rifling in them though, and I understand that the Pnue-Dart does, at least in the .22 fired ones. I assume that you need a Pnue-Dart dart to accomodate and take advantage of that rifling then??? I once saw on FB Mktplc a Cap-Chur CO2 pistol for sale along with some Pnue-Dart darts. Does that work? I wish there was some kind of an indicator of "charge pressure" on my CO2 gun before firing... so you'd have a way of knowing if you've still got a big enough charge. When the CO2 cartridge is getting toward the end, the only way you know it is that it can't propel the dart as strongly anymore. You DO get quite a few shots out of one cartridge (often like maybe 20 darts, less in colder weather)... more than I expected... but of course, that means risking a low-lobber that might just still dispense the meds............... on the ground. Alternative is to just change 'em out more often... less than $2 each, so not too big a deal. Convenience of the CO2 is good... .22 blank would be better yet, and more consistent. [/QUOTE]
