New Atomic .22 works on flying rats

[RobbieGio]

Looks like I may have a good flying rat (pigeon) getter. Atomic sending .22 JSB Hades 15.89 grain at 723 fps, approx. 14 yards, 27 degrees. Made a very satisfying “thwok” on impact.

Very nice and handy unit! Many more will fall, I'm sure. With your stock folded that looks to be way shorter than my TalonP. Size is very important for truck guns and mine is pushing it, that Atomic could just about fit in a briefcase. Fun size!

Thanks! Glad you like it. Glad I got the stock adapter. Hesitated picking it up due to cost. Approximate measurements: Folded w/o mod, it is 17.5”. With mod 21.5”. Don’t have a briefcase, anymore, but here it is in a couple of laptop bags. Tight, really tight fit in main compartment of bag with two larger spaces - laptop and a document compartment. The other bag with one large compartment, the rifle disappears in it easily. Both are with moderator not mounted.

Honestly, neither did I until I got a wild idea to take it to work when I have to go in. A bit less conspicuous on security cameras. “I have no idea why those water bottles are spontaneously bursting.”

That's awesome! You could definately keep the mod on, just keep the barrel pointing up in the pack and the weight being more at the bottom will carry much better and the barrel will naturally stay near the middle top and having the mod on won't be a problem.

Will do. Tried and the mod only sticks out about 2”. Going to work out greatly.

Very nice setup!! I prefer a longer gun & more speed (= more pop ) but you just cannot beat those pellets out of a Lothar Walther equipped airgun for pesting @ short distances. Tedsholdovers (on YT) in his hayday did an excellent video on them, calling them "Starling Anchors".....I could not agree more! I cant sing their praises enough, Inside 50Y i'd even use them in competition shooting, they are that accurate out of my S510.

Yes sir, I wholeheartedly agree! Tedsholders videos were a major factor for my jumping into the hobby and getting a lot of those Hades. Taken many a pigeon out to 29 yards with the 15.89 grains in my Sniper XR. Bought some in the Hades Monster 25.39 grain to go with same Sniper now that it has the power tune.

Get a goofy golf club cover to put over the mod to keep crap out, and people in the dark about what you've got in the bag.

Ted was instrumental in getting me hooked DEEPLY, minus the recording/videos im living his airgun life now
I now have the .177 10gr hades, the 15.89, the 25.39, and the big ol .30cal 44gr Hades....yup I love em! However the 25.39 were a BIG let down for me, and are no better than an Mrds as far as expansion, and surely not the cost. I sent them 1000fps close range into water jugs and they were dismal....I bought one tin, and it is my last.

Well, poo, that stinks. I only have a few tins of the 25.39. I will try them out and hope for the best. Bought them on sale from Trenier, so if they do not work out, not a big loss.
