Here is a table top review of my Walter P22 pistol. Despite concerns years ago about reliability with this gun, Walther has fixed several problems and is now making a rock solid 22. At around 0 this pistol is a great firearm for CCW and also a great training pistol. I bring this gun to the range every time and fire it regularly to help keep my skills fresh. It takes standard 22lr bullets and has many safety features and is a ambidextrous pistol. It also has an accessory rail any tactical lights or lasers you want to add.
I made this video to find out what’s the best pellet for shooting apples. The Beeman Crow-magnum and wadcutter pellets seem to do the most damage. Round nose pellets appeared to deliver the least amount of carnage.
I fired several different kinds of .22 caliber pellets through my Walther Talon Magnum in order to find the most accurate pellet. All shots were fired at a distance of 25 feet. Here are the results: Make and Model ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Group Size in inches JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy ~~~~ 0.194 Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy ~~~~~~~~~~~~0.240 Crossman Pointed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.336 Beeman H&N Match Wadcutter~~~~~~~~~~0.351 Predator Polymag~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 0.362 Beeman FTS Double Gold~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.368 JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Monster~~0.382 Beeman Crow-Magnum~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.383 H&N Silver Point~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.484 JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo RS~~~~~~0.497 EUNJIN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.509 RWS Superpoint Extra~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.625 Crossman Premier Hollow Point~~~~~~~~~0.625 Beeman Laser~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.683 H&N Rabbit Magnum II~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.775 Skenco Hyper-velocity Field Pellets~~~~~~~1.580
I purchased lots of different pellets to see which performs best from my Walther Talon Magnum. Here are the results: 1) Crosman Pointed - .249″ 2) RWS Superpoint Extra - .249″ 3) Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy - .343″ 4) Predator Polymag - .343″ 5) Beeman FTS Double Gold - .375″ 6) Beeman Crow-Magnum - .405″ 7) Crosman Premier Hollow Point - .436″ JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy - .468″ 9) EUNJIN 28.4 gr - .468″ 10) JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo RS - .499″ 11) H&N Silver Point - .499″ 12) JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Monster - .656″ 13) Beeman H&N Match Wadcutter - .718″ 14) H&N Rabbit Magnum II - .874″ 15) Beeman Laser - 1.468″ 16) Skenco Hyper-velocity Field Pellets - 1.780 This test was performed in my garage at 10 meters with my .22 caliber Walther Talon Magnum air rifle. The optic mounted on the rifle is a Centerpoint Adventure Class 4-16×40mm. The parallax adjustment was set to just over 10 yards. The results of this test will vary greatly on different makes of air rifles, so I encourage you to perform your own accuracy tests.
Cheap (entire setup under 0), accurate, reliable fun. Confidently keep this next to my bed (flashlight comes in handy!). Don’t compare this to rifles worth several thousand dollars please. Camo strap and bipod coming. 15rd mag on the way (people seem to have trouble finding 15rd mags) Hope you like/are inspired by it. Check out the Excel Arms Accelerator Rifle in .22Magnum! Can do fun tactical stuff with that gun!… it’s on my wishlist.
