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.

It's not a professional level gun. That's why the price point is where it is. .22 subsonic rounds for your needs

Absolutely, I fire a 20 cal rifle into mine @ 1300 fps. I also use the trap for my 22 and 17 cal rifles. I only thing I had to do was to elevate the rear of the trap to keep the pellets from bouncing back out of the trap. Once I did that I had no problems. I do recommend the trap, especially for garage shooting.

probably not the bone collector is a great gun for the price, but louder than the whisper shot a squirril a few days ago with mine and the pellet went through the ribs and came out the other side suggest you try for the heavier, slower pellets if you shoot at short to medium distance slower speed less noise generaly, more speed, more noise one of the reasons I prefer 22 over 177

These are lead.From a 1200 FPS rifle, they travel 1000 FPS.They are devastating. There are heavier hunting pellets and lighter alloy pellets. These are just right.

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

First off, remember that this is not a bb gun, bb guns shoot metal bearings and shoot faster. Second, 18 :P

It can handle any fps a small caliber can deliver. 22., 17hmr, etc. I haven't shot .223 bullets at it yet. I bought it for pellets, and it barely turns over. So this thing is made for bullets. Happy Shooting...

manufacturer claims 1000fps-lead pellets, 1200fps-alloy pellets. Personally, I don't have a way to measure the speed.

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.

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.

My first rifle and best coolest one I have the sights are awesome! Look and feel of this gun is great too!!Multiple pump not more than 10 but 3 to 10 would do.0.177" (4.5mm), 660.0 fps, Synthetic, Ambi, Black3-10 pumps, 18-rd BB mag & 5-rd pellet mag660 fps/BBs, 625 fps/pellets (velocities in owner's manual are incorrect)

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

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 . Good shooting. Tim savannah,Ga. 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.

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!

This is a single shot break barrel type pellet rifle. It is not a quiet pellet rifle as I found out. It seemed almost as loud as a 22 caliber rifle and packs quite a punch for a pellet gun.

You're pretty much good with any bb (metal) that's available. However, this is made manly for pellets so I would suggest that if your looking for power AND accuracy. BB ammo lacks accuracy.
