Hiya,
Ive just found the videos from Ca_Varminter on your inertia weight and I would be very interested in knowing more.
Best wishes,
Stewart

Pretty good aren't they! Make`s you wonder just how that hammer really works don`t it!
I do know KevG has been working on upgrade`s and it`s worth contacting him to see what`s on offer regarding the double tap inertia!
If i was honest i was thinking of adding to this site his very own buy it now item`s!
KevG`s very own buy it now page on upgrade`s to item`s he creates I've been working hard on this code to do just that for him.
It`s not quite complete yet but it`s close to being complete!

That would be a brilliant addition to the page! From an engineering perspective it makes you wonder how the factory hammer even works at all looking at the difference
Here is another Discussion of KevG Double-Tap from the Tech area.....

I have one in my .177 S-Type, OE spec is 500 shots/500cc @ 250 bar, I get around 490 shots from 480cc @ 230 bar.
Or a full tin of H&N 9.56gr FTs 400 shots @ 200 bar 8)
I'd be very interested in efficiency. Doubly so when the only recharge I had was a stirrup pump! But luckily I'm not reliant on that anymore. What affect does the mod have on power? And on a different note I've always used crossman accupells with the rapid, but is there a general consensus on which pellet is most preferred in the mk1?
You get around 15% more shots, I was going to build a .22 in S-Type spec probably would have been in the region of 850 shots per fill.
Kev reckoned you need a tad more spring because there isn't the extra air from hammer bounce,
Power wise, no issues.
Consistency; spread has been 10fps or less straight from the tin.
The intent of the build was to use heavier pellets,- JSB 10.3s, Baracuda match, Crosman 10.5s and H&N 9.57 FT but some of my original pellet testing gave a 5fps max spread with one older batch AADF 8.4s , mostly 2-3fps.
Think the best was 4 or 5 consecutive shots @ 777fps but as the heavier pellets were performing to expectations I wasn't prepared to chase dies of AADF and Exacts for the sake of paper performance. .
