Runner up would be the Daisy 901 with pellets. The Dragonfly is in a different league, 2x the $ also. The Daisy is a remarkable rifle for less than $70-. Good sights, comfortable, accurate, light.

Several Diana's, Seneca Dragonfly, Umarex Notos (I think). There are probably more.

I'm stocked up on pumpers now. Several pellet and bb/pellet rifles grace my collection now. The standout rifle, hands down is the Crosman 362. Compact, solid, comfortable, accurate, ez to pump, ez to load,excellent value. So impressive I've ordered another one and the steel breach kit. Scope one...

I have a Berra 1866. It will shoot bbs very accurately with 2 pumps or more. With 1 pump bb accuracy is terrible. Pellets accuracy is great with only 1 pump. My hypothesis is, with a bb and 1 pump there isn't enough blowby air around the bb to aerodynamically float the bb in the barrel. With 2...

It has always amazed me how fast a projectile spins when fired thru a rifled barrel. 40,000 rpm is only 666 fps from a 12" twist barrel. A 22 magnum, at 2000fps with a 16" rifling spins 90,000rpm. Almost incomprehensible. A friend had a 220 swift in the 70's. He reloaded some hot rounds...

Macabespeed in Utube put together a Stormryder configuration using parts from a Chaser pistol to convert and modify a 177 to 22. He was shooting it at 100yds until it started to leak from the modified filler.

Hi folks, been shooting my Snowpeaks. A pair of Diana Airbugs 177 and 22, Diana Stormryder 177 and a Seneca Dragonfly. These are a very good value for little $$

Pellet aerodynamic behavior is similar to a badminton birdie. These effects can be observed in slow motion by watching the birdie

This can be observed in slow motion by watching a badminton birdie fly

Sometimes the bb guns are the most fun. Not shooting well today, argh, blame it on the bb gun

Ahrrrr, holdin out for more gold no doubt

Krale sells Kral, they ship em here.

The Seneca Dragonfly is a Snowpeak marketed by Air Venturi. I hope Kral is able to return, they make some interesting guns. I have good luck with my Marine bullpup

A feature of a really good hobby is the degree of the accompanying gadgetry.

The Dragonfly magazine is a spoiler when using a scope. My Daisy 901 is almost impossible to load a pellet with a low scope mount. My Barra 1866 is almost impossible to load a pellet with iron sights. Compared to the Dragonfly, that is. I am already so spoiled I took the scope off the 901 to...

The Bernoulli (thanks Miles_M) effect could be observed using a clear tube and a lightweight ball proportional to a bb fit in a barrel. Set the tube vertically, air injects into the bottom, drop in the ball and play around with it. Does the ball touch the tube? Different velocities from a...

If an oscilloscope was hooked up to a test barrel, then any oscillation/vibration could be measured. It wouldn't matter if the vibration comes from bb barrel contact or aerodynamic effects. If the vibration level corresponds to accuracy, ie low vibration, high accuracy, then it could be a...

Thanks, I remembered the name incorrectly. The volume I refer to is the gap between the bb and bore.

It would follow aerodynamic theory that roundness matters most. The less spherical a bb the more aerodynamic correction oscillation is induced. It would be difficult to examine bbs for sphericalness (may be a new word). Probably require an expensive machine

Oh my, I'm in love. Gorgeous. Good in bed too I'll bet.
