🧠 Notes (what’s not typically listed)
Most local sellers do not publish exact performance figures such as:
-
Muzzle velocity (fps / m/s)
-
Muzzle energy (Joules)
-
Barrel rifling specs
This is common for economy spring-powered pistols marketed for basic practice rather than high-precision shooting.
