General Comments
Purchased the Shanghi Airgun QB78 in .22 last week. Gun already loaded with CO2! presumably in China?
Shoots high and to the left with iron sights, which are useless. Fine with a scope at 10m and 20 m. Power loss after 30 shots. Amazed to see other reviews speaking of 80 shots. I am using Crosman Co2.
After 2nd change of CO2, capsule jammed in the gas tube, necessitating complete strip down. Presume faulty CO2 capsule. Bought for ratting and fine up to about 15m, providing the CO2 is
up to snuff. Silencer very effective.
