Supplemental Results: Hammerli Pneuma Elite 10 Air Rifle
As you may have read from my review of the Pneuma last month, I really have an appreciation for this rifle. You just get so much value and shooting enjoyment for the money invested. The Pneuma did so well in my tests that I recently took the opportunity to push the gun to the max and see if it could hang at a greater distance and hang it did.TKO Brake (left) Hatsan Air Stripper (right)

At the range last week, I stretched her legs a bit, so out to 50 yards the target went. I had high hopes that day, as the 25 yard accuracy testing had been very good
but I didnt expect things would go this well. With Hatsans "Air Stripper" in place at the muzzle I began to sight in the riffle and get a feel for things all over again. Right away I knew this was going to be good, and shortly after the Pneuma and I settled in, it printed this ridiculously tight group. Four of the five shots went into a quarter inch sized hole!... and I pulled the fifth one, making for a half inch group. ![](https://cdn.airgundepot.com/reviews/pneuma-elite-10/sup-add.jpg)

I fiddled around with the Air Stripper a bit, adjusting the insert fore and aft. The adjustments had a widening effect on the groups so I set it back to how it was which resulted in repeating the above accuracy. "This sure is a lot of gun for what it cost's," I thought to myself once again. Then I decided that I was going to try TKOs Muzzle Brake (silencer) at 25 yards and see how tight I could keep two full magazines. I have to reiterate that this accessory almost completely mutes the rifle. The only thing that can be heard is the hammer smacking the valve, and I have to say, this is one well engineered add-on. The muzzle-brake changed the point of impact somewhat, but have a look at what transpired with the group! Twenty pellets slipped through the same .28 sized hole. I so was tempted to try for another ten, but I chickened out in the name of preserving this astounding grouping. Wow! ![](https://cdn.airgundepot.com/reviews/pneuma-elite-10/sup-jsb.jpg)

The Pneuma continues to impress. Paired with the TKO Brake or Hatsans Air Stripper, it makes for one heck of a nice shooting experience. As for the pellet I have dubbed the one, the JSB Exact 8.44 grain is going with me everywhere this rifle does. ![](https://cdn.airgundepot.com/reviews/pneuma-elite-10/sup-brake.jpg)
