The best usable result I'm getting is around 315-20FPS from that refillable PPS CO2 bulb, but it is a real ballache. It takes quite a few goes of gas mix to get it to work and I can't seem to find a happy medium between the above and about 355-60 with just CO2 (which is better than the 415-20 my Makarov kicks out on a single use 12g CO2 cartridge). If I fill the PPS with just green gas I get 72FPS, which leads me to believe that it doesn't fill from a can properly. Needless to say, it's ok as a site-legal holster filler / absolute last ditch back up, but for those CO2 pistols without hop, 320FPS is next to useless for actual skirmishing IMO - you need to aim up to hit a target at 20m.Not all hope is lost- there's the refillable CO2 cartridges you can fill with a mix of green gas with a little CO2 for some more punch- if Ian_Gere gets on with the one he's bought, using the refillable cartridge could be a viable option.
My hopes of a bandolier full to power my Makarov and a gas converted SVD are dashed :'(
