Aspide,

Kind of hard to do as you requested without knowing what pellet you are using. The pellet design and weight have great bearing on your results. Lawdog

RWS SUPERDOME,Domed,weight 8,3grains

Aspide,

As with all RWS products they use the lightest weight pellets they can find for the purpose of velocity reporting. With the 5G Magnum you will get much less velocity than the stated "up to 700 fps." that they advertise. While still powerful it will only give you around 550 fps. tops. Could be as little as 500 fps. or less. This will give you around 6 fpe. at the muzzle at the top end using the pellets you stated. My son got one and it is accurate but hard to mount a scope on. He uses it for pest control in small areas. Hope this helps you. Lawdog
