About
What it is, and why it matters
The Tesro PA10 is a German match-grade pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air pistol chambered in .177 (4.5mm), designed for 10-metre Olympic-discipline competitive air pistol shooting. It uses a regulated pneumatic system filled to 200-300 bar, delivering highly consistent shot-to-shot velocity, and features a floating barrel with air-release ports, an adjustable two-stage match trigger, anatomical walnut grips with an adjustable palm rest, and a removable air cylinder. The later PA10-2 series refined the platform with multiple trim levels including Basic, Signum and Pro.
Tesro built its reputation in 10-metre target shooting, and the PA10 competes against established match-pistol makers such as Steyr, Feinwerkbau, Walther and Morini for places on the firing line at national and international air-pistol matches.
Single-shot dry-fire-capable target pistol intended for ISSF 10 m air pistol competition. Velocity figures are well below the 12 ft/lb UK air-pistol limit, as match air pistols are tuned for accuracy and consistency rather than power.

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.
