What is the maximum velocity of the 0.177 pellet projectile that it can catch? 700 fps rifle? 1500 fps? If not, what do you recommend?

Even with the rifle we are using .177 pellets we are nearly through the back of the cone pellet trap. It depends a lot on what distance you are shooting.Buy It and put a reinforcement plate ie 5mm by approx. 50mm bit of steel home depot scraps etc. slides right in the back.

I have been using co2 pistols both 450psi, a daisy bb rifle (my child hood toy still works like a charm though pretty beat up) a Remington 720 multi pump rifle bb/pellet and a multi pump single shot pellet target pistol ( lots of punch). there is no evidence I ever used it except for some chipped paint no dents. it is mad pretty durable an I don't think a 22 short would hurt it but a long rifle may dent it up. hope this helps. also I have seen these at ( I believe) gander mountain if you wan to look at the product/

I would think that probably 500 fps would be about max. For higher velocities I would recommend a pellet.trap suitable for 22 long rifle. Gammo does not offer such a product.

The pellets from my Gamo Hornet, maybe 1,000 fps, ripped the back of the cone out. Luckily I had it screwed to a stud so the pellets stuck in that. Even so they busted out the sheetrock behind the "trap." It is stupid to make such a weak backstop. For another 10 cents they could have beefed up the metal and made something decent.

I have not tested this item to see what might puncture it. It is robust enough that I don't think there is a pellet gun that might do that. I think it would probably contain a High Velocity .22LR, but I have not used that caliber with it myself. I plan on using it with some sub sonic .22LR though.

From experience I certainly would not recommend anything above 1,000 fps and it probably needs to be much less. My 1200 fps destroyed the welding on it in a very few shots from 10 meter distance. My own educated guess is that it might stand up to 500 fps at 10 meters. This is the velocity of many competition air rifles. The weakness of this trap seems to be in the welds which hold the various seams together.

Yes, A correctly placed shot with the right rifle. . .head. . . it will drop like a ton of bricks and will not know what hit it! Rifle 1000 fps plus. . . .

Not that far, maybe 100 feet or less. Solid built rifle, but get a better higher power scope. 10 times quieter than my Gamo that says its quiet but sounds like a firecracker when shot. Have no problems shooting targets as small as a pecan. Just remember that CO2 changes your sight picture as the barrel gets colder, so after 5 plus shots its dead on.

This weapon is shooting a piece of metal at approximately 460 feet per second and if you have the ability to shoot this straight and true and no further away than 30 feet I would have to say yes. The problem is that this is a pellet gun with just very little rifling in the barrel. The pellet won't travel straight for too long of a distance. You would have to be extremely close to the target and really know your weapons ability before even considering the chance of hitting let alone killing the animal. Can it kill? YES from a distance? NO. Would I use it to small game hunt? NO! Hopefully this is helpful. Thank you and enjoy your weapon.

This backstop contains an 1280 FPS 40 grain .22LR so I am quite sure it will contain a much lighter pellet even though it is slightly faster.If you are concerned though, place a couple 2X4s in front of the trap opening for added absorption protection.Hope this helps B. Brown.Ron

I use a pellet rifle and have found it to be the best target that I have and I have a lot of targets. I have it @ 120 to 130 feet and it is very challenging to hit. The best target ever---!!.

This gun shoots 7.9 gr lead pellets right at 1000 fps. That is WAY more power than needed for rabbits, squirrels, and birds, including crows. At ranges to 30 or 35 yards, it is also enough power to kill groundhogs, possum, and raccoon with head shots! Not suitable for larger game like coyote though. And it is VERY lethal if you put the pellet where it should go!

It is rated at 800 fps with BB's and 750 with light pellets.ThanksPyramyd Air Team

The manufacturer puts it @ 1000 fps. I've never shot it through a chrono to confirm that speed as accurate. It will also vary slightly depending on what weight pellet you put through it.

in my opinion it doesn't have enough velosity for a humane kill with a fresh cartridge they claim 400 fps. get a break action pellet rifle with 1000 fps or higher

Very powerful. Fps rating is in description.> 1000 fps depending on the weight of the pellet.

How do you define EFFECTIVELY? With an advertised muzzle velocity of 800fps, a 14.3 grain pellet will slow to about 680fps at 50 yards; 580fps at 100 yards. I zeroed mine at 25 yards and have found it quite accurate (quarter sized 5 shot patterns) at that range. Good for target shooting at that range. Effective on small pests (gophers) at that range, too. With a 14.3 grain pellet, energy drops 25% at 50 yards and 50% at 100 yards. Not much "stopping power" at those ranges. Also, at 100 yards, the drop in trajectory will be almost 2 feet. I'm NOT an expert, but, it seems "effective" to me at 25 yards, not so much at 50 yards and I would select a different weapon to reach 100 yards.

If you're a good shot, they go through the bull's eye. ;-) After that, they end up inside the trap itself. NOTE: you said "bullets", this trap is ONLY suited for bbs and lower velocity .177 pellets. I shoot a Weirauch HW50S in .177 caliber. With the pellets I use, it runs on average ~700fps with about ~10fpe and I tore this trap up in less than 100 shots. It's really

I've only used the "Crosman Destroyer .177 Cal, 7.9 Grains, Pointed, 250ct" and have great success knocking down wild game with them! I don't know if this gun shoots the airsoft pellets.

Between 800 and 1000 feet per second, depending on which pellet you chose to shoot.

Once No pump spring/ air . Average 700fps single shot 22cal . This is a larger more powerful than typical .177

Specs are 685 fps for .22 cal. Heavier pellets will drop a little. Use a good hunting pellet that you know is accurate with your gun. Every gun has it's own personality. Head shot only. I wouldn't feel comfortable over 20 yards myself. Wounding any animal is not humane. Practise, practise, practise. Good luck hunting.
