Crosman 2240 Pistol Test. Pellets used were Crosman Accupel. Similar velocities were obtained with Crosman Powerpel and Eley Wasp. A short time was allowed to load and to reset the chronograph. This would also allow the Co2 to reach room temperature, although even when a second shot was taken fairly quickly the velocity was found to be much the same. It would be expected that in cold conditions a lower velocity would be obtained. The Crosman 2240 is very similar to the other Crosman guns like the 2250 and 2250xt. The power limit for the Crosman 2240 is 6ft. Lbs. The limit for the Rabbit and Rat is 12ft. Lbs. Average Energy was around 5.2 foot pounds with a velocity around 400
feet per second.


Jim Chapman's "Hunting pistol" using the Crosman 2240 platform About two years ago Jim Chapman started working on a book that focused on building up a hunting pistol using the Crosman 2240 platform. He was a hundred or so pages into the 2240 manuscript when he became side tracked with other projects, and shelved this for so long he figured that he was not going to get motivated to finish. Rather than waste the effort, he decided that he would post it on his site for anybody that wanted to use the information. The only problem was that he didn't have the room to spare on his site ..... until recently when he expanded the bandwidth and storage capacity of the American Airgun Hunter
