About
What it is, and why it matters
The AEA HP SS is a compact bolt-action pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) big-bore air rifle produced by AEA Precision. Fed from a detachable magazine and charged from an onboard 300cc air tank rated to 250 bar, the .35 caliber version launches 81-grain slugs at roughly 830 fps for use in airgun hunting and pest control. The 'SS' (short and slim) platform pairs a shrouded 13-inch barrel with a dovetail optics rail and a folding-stock chassis, making it a lightweight, powerful entry in AEA's high-power air rifle lineup.
Overall length is approximate; AEA lists the .35 caliber HP SS Max with a 13-inch barrel, 8-shot magazine, ~830 fps muzzle velocity, 300cc air tank and 250 bar fill pressure. The HP SS line is also offered in .22/.25/.30 (base) and larger .45/.50 caliber configurations.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
