Xisico's BAM-XS-B26

.


B26
This Chinese made spring/piston Xisico BAM-XS-B26 is a high powered accurate .22 caliber "break-barrel" air rifle.  I have added their muzzle brake to extend the barrel's length.  This makes for easier cocking because of  increased leverage.  It has a muzzle energy of approximately 15 foot-pounds (20.3 joules)
for 14 grain pellets.

Hydrodynamics

The can on the left was empty and shot with the B26 and a Beeman Ramjet 14.7 grain .22 caliber pellet from 25 feet.  This results in a typical entrance and exit hole.  In contrast the can on the right was filled with water but not sealed.  This resulted in a huge entrance hole caused by the explosive transfer of the kinetic energy of the pellet to the water which burst the front wall.
