is it really .22 cailber and does it really shoot 1100 fps with alloy pellets and 950 fps with lead pelets

If you google the internet and the youtube, you will quickly find out that nobody achieves those claimed velocity and energy numbers shooting these guns right out of the box! Do your research on the internet before taking anybody's word for it. Read my review on this gun.

Yes, the XL 1100 is .22 caliber (5.5mm pellet). Alloy pellets travel faster due to their smaller weight (I clocked them at 1081fps) but I do not recommend them. Firstly they are expensive, secondly they are much lighter than lead thus delivering smaller muzzle energy. PBA Raptor Gold - velocity 1081fps; grain 9.8 = muzzle energy 25.44. Lead pellets need to be of right quality. I find Crossman Premier to be the best choice (about $7.00 at Walmart for 500). Velocity 948fps; grain14.3 = muzzle energy 28.54. This is a solid well build rifle, however not recommended for youth use. This is an adult rifle (weapon) not a toy and may be restricted is some states due to the power it delivers.

Yes, it really is .22 caliber. I haven't put it on a chrono so I can't say what the velocity is for sure, but I would guess it's over 1k because it's definitely more powerful than the .22 Trailmaster that I also have, which is advertised to drive led pellets at around 900 fps.

The pellet pistol is a S2-1 made by Industry Brand at the Shanghai Air Gun Factory. It will fire american pellets. 5.5mm. is the same as .22 caliber. Also if you ever get a pellet gun in 4.5mm. it's the same as .177 caliber. Wal-Mart has pellets but not many in .22 cal. Bass Pro Shop has plenty. All lead flat nose wadcutters or competition pellets are the most consistent and accurate. Crosman or Gamo are good. I shoot a lot of RWS but they're expensive. This gun is not real accurate but at 10 meters after adjusting the rear sight and using a little Kentucky windage you can hit a 12"x12" paper target more times than not. That's good for $25 .

My .22 cal pellet gun probably has more recoil than your 17 or 22 mag. I have had no issues with it at all.

the FPS for full auto but for semi 320 - 360. the accuracy is really good it stays right on tagert

Its around 360 fps. It has no shortage of power, trust me, as its main purpose is cqb, you really dont need any more than 350, but a little extra never hurt anyone, right? Except the guy youre shooting at anyway :P

I would recommend that you look elsewhere. The quality of this product is more geared towards less than 1000 fps. BB's would improve life. This is better used for a BB pistol.

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

I have shot it with 22lr many times. It is a solid target and well worth the price.

I fired ten pellets across my chronograph and they averaged 264.6 fps with a high of 280.3 fps and a low of 245.4 fps with Peak .22 wadcutters, a chinese brand, that average 13.9 grs. I've got the same gun in .177 cal. It avgeraged 302.6 fps, high 339.7, low 268.4, also with Peaks that average 8.6 grs. The guns are Industry Brand S2-1's made by the Shanghi Air Gun Factory. They're fairly accurate. The pellets that come with them make a good paper weight only. I took'em out of the wood stock and without disassembly any further, soaked them in gasoline over night and poured the gas thru them to get that brown packing grease out of them, and let them dry. Then sqiurted a little lube oil in them and cleaned the barrel before I tested them. Don't put petrolem based oil in the compression chamber. Good shooting, later! (Rosemary is my wife)

I would estimate around 1000fps. It's not the 1200fps it advertises. I have not tried the expensive ammo BPS though. The scope is awful and trigger pull is terrible as well. The gun has operated flawless through around 600 rounds. I recommend getting a better scope and expensive ammo if you want this to be a pigeon/squirel killing machine. Once you get use to the trigger, it's not that bad.Clean the barrel also. It helps alot with the accuracy when siting in your new scope. -Chris

NOT airsoft pellets. It uses .177 caliber pellets which are readily available in many makes, brands, and weights! Alloy pellets do shoot 1200 fps, but are very inaccurate in my gun. Lead pellets in the 7 - 7.5 grain weight shoot 1000 + fps and usually are very accurate as are many heavier lead pellets!

My 1200fps rifle slaps these through some metals and yes to take down even several small game....birds nearly explode unless they are a turkey. The truth behind the bullet is the gun though. I've used dozens of different pellets in pistols and rifles for over 20 years and must say a rifle that pushes a pellet at 1200fps will do just as a black powder .22 rifle on a standard load. A 40g .22 pistol round is standard at 900fps...hunting rounds at 1250fps ... so the air rifle technology makes shooting the .22 pellets cheaper and gives me more range time with the kids.

I just got 205 fps. with a 10.5 grain pellet and 2 pumps. It will not shoot a pellet out of the barrel with 1 pump. 2 pumps is .98 fpe.

NOOOO!!! It's horrible fps. Take my word it cool and feel good to hold, but if you want a good gun, but the WG 1911. 49.99 500+ fps.

If you are getting a true 1125 fps you must be using a pre-charged air rifle or the lighter, non-lead pellets. Regardless of what you're using I believe 1125 fps is too much for the trap. I would not use any non-lead pellets on the trap regardless of velocity. The trap should handle any springer, pneumatic or CO2 rifle firing standard lead pellets because very few of them will give you an honest 1000 fps.

For 1st - 4th magazine (16 round) it will probably average in the 300 fps range which nets excellent accuracy. After these firings fps drops off. I continue to fire up to 8 - 10 mags, however and obviously, the fps really drops off.
