If I had the money, I would buy two guns of the same type, one with a spring and one with a gas ram then shoot the same number of pellets through each when new, in a month, then three months, then six months to see what the results would be. So being a spring does weaken after break in and through time from use, and where with a gas ram your compressing the same amount each time, the gas ram should shoot pretty close to the same as new a few years later (if the seal is still good) where the spring would have weakened making the gas ram actually shooting faster then a springer from about a month of use and contine to do so. If a coil is tight against the other coils on one side, but the other side has a gap between the coils, the side that is tight with the other coils would have more pressure on them or else the other way around. Even though this seemed like a good test, I just wonder how accurate it could really be being each time you cock your gun, you spring doesn't always compress in the same way being coils on the spring bend (where we see bent springs) which would cause more pressure on some coils then others or at least more pressure on one side of the coil then the other side. All but one gun held pretty close to what they originally shot after being in the cocked position for a month. I did read the article one time where the guy left like three guns cocked for like a month then checked each gun. Then what about a few years down the road when the spring in the springer weakens even more, you'll get even slower fps while the gas ram will continue to shoot as it did new or almost. in my thinking (this is where I need corrected), after about a month after having the springer and the gun is broken in and the spring settled down to where it will shoot at, the springer will now shoot slower then the gas ram. That might make a springer look to be a little better choice if you want the most fps out of the gun you by, but. ![]() In most advertisements you'll always notice a springer shooting a number of fps faster then a gas ram. ![]()
