What is it's cyclic rate (i.e. how many pellets per minute does it shoot? For comparison, most real, bullet-firing machine guns fire 600-800 rounds per minute)

Excellent question. I would YouTube a video of someone shooting one. I've seen countless YouTube videos for it when I wanted to buy mine.

No, it's not man. There is a model for pellets though. These are nice guns. If you buy / or have bought one, do the following:I agree with Robert ..........get yo'self a bunch of extra "bullets" (that hold the BBs), and for sure for sure, some speed loaders!! Dump out 6 emptys & in one motion load 6 full ones.....Bam!Happy air-shootin' ---be safe.

240 fps. No more than 177 yds max but that's like saying a .22 is no more than a mile. I find that it's excellent for what it's made for. Definitely not a squirrel gun.

Only if you are very close. My chrony puts 14.35 grain pellets out at 435-450 fps which is only 6 to 6.5 ft pounds of force AT THE MUZZEL. by the time it is out 20 yards it is only 5 FPE and by 40 is only 4.5FPE .. not enough for racoons, not really enough for a squirrel unless you are within 10 yards OR a "top shot" that never misses a brain shot.

Hello, the gun can be cocked and dry fired. The cylinder rotates and works like a real gun. But it is made of a softer metal (zink maybe) so I would not fire it a lot. Hope thos helps.

I have Browning made by Umarex 1000fps. I tested several "heavy" pellets with these, beeman pellets topping the list. I suggest try several types and weights to get the best accuracy. The faster you rifle shoot generally means the heavier the pellet for best accuracy. Mine shoots a 3/4" group at 25 yds. with these beeman pellets. Hope this helps!

One at a time, as with most break action. The major selling point is accuracy. For the money, it is incredibly accurate! I wouldn't trade mine for any other pellet rifle on the market.

Yes...don't shoot this gun on 6 round burst for a long time. The mechanism freezes, and gun won't fire. Have en fun!!

It really depends on your gun, it's power settings, and what you want it to do. As a long range(65m -100m) high power small game round they perform well. Keep in mind, they need to travel 1040-1120 (just under subsonic) 40-45lbs or 1250-1400fps to be sub 2moa accurate ... And there is no fragmentation ... Meaning they are meant to pass through thick muscle retaining max energy. In short they fit a very specific need and they are always in my ammo bag... But unless my guns are presighted and the power plant is setup for the pellet (adjustable piston or pcp) I don't shoot them. If they are worth $0.08 each is up to the shooter.

well for example if you shoot an 8 grain pellet 800 fps a 5 grain will go over 1000

Great training aid - fun to shoot. Actual range is pretty limited - I would estimate it to be in the 15-20 yard range.It's a break open pellet gun, they generally don't have a great deal of power.

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

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.

The manual rates this gun at 750 fps for BBs and 715 fps for pellets at 10 pumps. The shooting distance for 10 pumps is rated at 291 yards for BBs and 286 yards for pellets. I hope this helps answer your question.

Depending on how rapidly you fire and the outside temperature... I've got a variable number of shots. Usually about 25-27.. low of about 21, high of about 32.

Not sure what you mean by "machine bb gun" exactly, but it is a single shot lever action rifle. Shoots one bb every cycle of the lever and trigger.

My apologies for answering your question so late. It is about 260 FPS. Is it good for a backyard war? I would say no because you would only have 6 shots, reloading is a pain, and you need to pull the hammer back after every shot. Not unless you are a very disciplined shooter with pin point accuracy, this gun would be useful. You would need to by more shells to load your BBs in if you want to have more ammo with you (1 shell = 1 BB). The problem with that is that each BB is loaded into each individual shell. Overall, treat this like a real magnum in real life. High power for a handgun, high risk when reloading and ammo supply. My apologies for answering your question so late. It is about 260 FPS.
