About
What it is, and why it matters
The FX Ranchero is a Swedish precharged-pneumatic (PCP) air pistol chambered for .22 caliber pellets. Built by FX Airguns, it pairs a removable 65cc air cylinder with the company's Smooth Twist barrel and a single-motion biathlon-style bolt feeding an 8-shot rotary magazine. An adjustable two-stage match trigger, three-step external power adjuster, and walnut grip and forend make it a compact target and small-game air pistol capable of up to roughly 18 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.
A carbine version with a longer barrel and a shoulder stock was also offered. Specifications reflect the standard .22 caliber pistol; a .177 caliber option was available.

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.
