Had a webley jaguar (spring, 22 cal, 800 fps)
My idea was killing power but subsonic so as not to annoy the neighbors. It was and it did, but it nearly made ME deaf in the process. Instead of the noise coming out the barrel it is a piston slamming home right beside your ear. Had to wear hearing protection anyway, never got really good accuracy, recoil would loosen every screw on the thing - had to locktite them all. Didn't even try to put a scope on, it probably would have cracked the glass.
Sold it. Use 22 lr now, and hit what I'm aiming at. Turns out the neighbors never notice anyway.
