Yeah baby, but you can do much more. By cutting a little bit of the chamber plug spring guide you gain more volume, also you can grind from he chamber wall. Also by shortening the transfer striker tube the valve opens more when the hammer barrel hits. Last but not least, stretch the hammer spring. This action system looks so cheap and most cheap guns have it, but it is absolute extreme powerful. Over 4 Joules i got with mines. Anyway, with to much power you loose accuracy because the bb's spin at such a high speed that they fly a curve. Cheers mate, nice job.
The Daisy 415 is single handendly the strongest co2 4.5 bb pistol out of the factory box unmodified, firing on average at 450 fps and 3.6 joules of force, but on a hot day it can easily pass the 500 fps closing in to 4 joules of force, and it can pass through steel cans with enter and exit wounds as if the can was made of butter. That much force on a 4.5 steel bb is enough to pierce skin, muscle, and scratch the bone, specially at close distances. Needless to say, if aimed to the head the Daisy 415 will destroy eyes, noses, teeth, and hits to the forehead can and will cause concussions. Shots to the neck can end inside the trachea, causing breathing difficulties, and if it hits the arteries it's life threatening due to bloodloss. And you have 21 shots as fast as you can pull the trigger. 21 shots to the head means the concussions will eventually give way to lesser fractures on the bone structure of the skull, causing massive head pain and possibly unconsciousness, and it takes just one BB reaching the brain to cause serious brain damage and possibly death. Very few bb pistols unmodified out of the factory box can do such a feat since they often cannot pierce through steel cans, this is because most shoot only at around 350 fps or less even 250 fps, which would go around 1,5 to 2 joules of force, which is good enough for piercing thin alluminum soda cans and harming skin tissue and eyes, but won't pierce through a steel can nor would they do enough harm to an attacker to effectively incapacitate it. The Daisy 415 is the best 4.5 bb co2 for plinking and self defense until you can get yourself a real firearm, at which point I reccomend using a 357 magnum revolver or a 45 ACP pistol hollow point bullets for great stoping power without damaging your own wrists when firing as a 500 S&W would do to an untrained hand, otherwise get a 9mm and don't even waste money on a 22 pistol. Now a 22 rifle... that's another beast entirely... but since we are at it: Rifle for hunting. Shotgun for home defense. Heck get a tank! Until then, your Daisy 415 bb gun will keep you safe against non firearm wielding attackers, and will give you hours and hours of plinking fun. 100% recomended
That was amazing and it sparked an interest in me! Can I ask a couple of questions? Just to see if I understood what you were doing. Drilling/polishing a bit the holes in the CO2 valve helps release more gas and getting more power, right? And then you have to pre-compress the spring a bit, so it's stronger and able to hold and close the valve with the additional CO2 coming out of it?
Hi! You are correct on the first point. As for the preload, increasing this does not hold the valve back, it just increases the force with which the hammer strikes the valve pin allowing it to stay open a fraction longer.
Eh, it's pretty crap due to the design. Can't really be made any better. This one actually has a harder trigger pull than stock as I increased the trigger spring tension. This is necessary if you want to max the preload as the trigger spring resets the mechanism!
@@lnrmedia208 Thanks. Also wondering about the fps, was that a new Co2 cartridge? There is another video where a guy gets near 550 fps with his 415. Or maybe his meter wasn't accurate ? His video is called "The Daisy Powerline 415 & 426"
@Peppermint1 That was a new cartridge, you get about 40 full power shots with this tune as it wastes Co2. Some chronos record the Co2 blast as the projectile if too close. Commonly seen on RU-vid power tests of Co2 guns!
Great job In Poland, where I live, Daisy air rifles are very difficult to buy. These are quite exotic guns. I just noticed several pieces of this model in one store and I'm wondering whether or not to buy it. I'm afraid that the seals will be unavailable in Poland, but I really like the design of this gun. The simplicity of the design is downright charming. It looks much better than the Crosman Vigilante revolver I was also thinking about. The idea with the magazine on top is great! I have a Soviet Makarov, made by "Baikal", and although it is made of real steel for sharp weapons, the constant insertion of the 13-shot magazine sometimes annoys me. I see that this Daisy model has a very large shot valve with a large capacity. To achieve similar performance in the Makarov, I had to rebuild the entire magazine. I have to think about it if I can get some new seals for this gun if necessary.
Thanks for sharing your link in my comments. Great video too and here's our overview video of the Daisy 415 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NAIfiaw5DIs.html
