depends on pellet and actual velocity

If you know someone with a chronograph shoot a few pellets to get an idea of acutal velocity.  I imagine that velocity will depend a bit on how full the CO2 is too. Then you'll need to weigh pellets too.  I think Crossman claims the standard 2260 shoots in the 600 fps range but I don't think they list the weight of the pellets used. Good luck.

Aspide,

If you go by what Crosman says about their products then they used Crosman pellets to achieve the velocity rating.  So if all is true then at 600 fps., max., and using a 14.3 gr. domed Crosman pellet then you get 11 fpe.  Hope this helps.  Lawdog
